wow.

Alright. You officially have my permission to make fun of my husband. Do you see this car? He wanted to buy it. He was so excited. I tried to talk him out of it, but alas, we are the proud new owners of a 1981 (yep, it's as old as me) Honda Civic. It's retro, baby. This $800 beauty came with all the original parts and some wicked awesome tiger seat covers. Those came off pretty quick. The car needed a little tlc which John is readily providing. He has been coming in from the garage smelling like a mechanic and at dinner his nails had black car stuff in them. Yuck. Whatever makes him happy...




This brown beast has already attracted nicknames such as "Turd Ferguson" and "the turd burgler,'' and pretty much anything in reference to the browness of it. ;) We pulled into the garage and Sam exclaimed, "Look at that beautiful brown beast!"

As long as you don't have to drive it, right? Hondas are a good car, they run forever.

Heh! Heh! I used to have a car that color that I liked to call, "The Juice" for 2 reasons, 1- the license plate included the letters, JCE and 2- the color was a little like tobacco juice. I know pretty gross, but it stuck! I bet it gets good gas mileage though, right?

least it matches the house:) That's hilarious, but for $800 that's a DAVE RAMSEY car!!! Miss you guys! Just got back from Vacation. Saw Brick and Jes and Trace-beautiful home!
