Yeah, it was my first car, instant love when I saw it... paid $600 for it, and basically learned how to push that car everywhere! And I'm not kidding... I remember going up the highway with it when it was 16 years old, and guys would pull up next to me and want to race! I'd be like, are you kidding? It's got the world's smallest 8 cylinder engine (and a racing manifold) and it actually was really fast, but it was only a 260V8. And I was always afraid the front wheels would fall off if I went too fast... again, don't laugh, the rear wheel fell off once when the axle broke on my way back to work at lunch one day. (Learned that Ford made 3 different types of axles that year...LOL)
What color are you going to go with for your hair? I hate coloring my hair, but I've got patches of dark and patches of light, so I usually color it a dark blond as I once was a natural blond. (NO blond jokes!)
I know what you mean about bringing the kids, and it adds to the cost, but its also a lot of fun to go on a trip with one of them. I took my youngest to NJ last October to visit a high school friend of mine who happens to have a son the same age as my youngest. (She also has a 30 and a 24 year old, one every decade for 3 decades). It was a blast to have him along, and really made him feel special. Plus, remember I have 3 kids so depending on when you plan on being here, she'd have someone else to hang out with, and they could watch her.
