It has been a day off for me. Yesterday, we sold my daily driver for rain and winter, the 1987 Monte Carlo SS. My winter beater is now Cindy's work car the 1999 Pathfinder. We bought it at 33K miles, and it has 160K on it now. It has been the best car we have ever owned. I only drive 7 minutes each way to work, so it should last a lot longer than having her drive it all day every day. We bought her an ice blue Mini Cooper Clubman. It's cute as a button. Sorry to push non beer drinkers in to thinking about beer... but we got some celebratory brews. Here was the shot for the day... other than documenting it's arrival, and taking a few shots with no door dings or bird poop. It will work out great for her, and she looks real cute in it. Cindy has owned her own pet sitting business for 8 years. This car, although it has payments, will be much easier on the gas for her. Cindy's former favorite cars were her 1986 Chevette 5 speed, and her 1992 BMW 325i. This is kind of a combo of those favs. It is a 6 speed, and rides and drives like a BMW. In this picture, we see the new Mini and the heads we just replaced from the old Monte in my garage together with 3 different craft brews. Hop Rod Rye specialty Ale, Krank Shaft Kolsch style, and Racer 5 India Pale Ale. I may only drink one or 2 in a day, but I like it to be tasty. The Car theme just came about by accident, but it works. Hope you like it Cheers, JC --- John Christensen 1984 El Camino "Elkenstein" 350 TBI NECOA #042 http://www.myelcamino.net Saint Charles, IL --- John Christensen 1984 El Camino "Elkenstein" 350 TBI NECOA #042 http://www.myelcamino.net Saint Charles, IL
