The Lone Ranger, I mean, Lincoln Rides Again!
For those of you who are new to my little neck of the woods... I was hoping to introduce you to my old gal, whom is no longer mine but someone else's... but she is still near and dear to my heart... the Lincoln...
I was hoping to link to all my loving posts about her, but they all disappeared when we switched websites... *sigh*
In any event, we did sell her to some friends of ours for a couple cappuccinos a while ago. Since then they fixed what was ailing her and she has been driven by many a folk and is still kickin' it and livin' large.
In a wonderful answer to prayer before I even finished my request, we will have the pleasure of driving her for a few days this week! Since we are down a car, and since our appointments many and are lots of miles away, I was in need of wheels for tomorrow that a bus or Josh's work schedule could not work out. The O's were kind enough to offer her to us to borrow.
Oh, my head is swooning I am so exited! Ezekiel too shares my excitement and began jumping up and down when he saw her pull into the drive.
I was reminded of just how much strength her V8 has when she bounded up our drive.
I was putting the kids' car seats in her and I was once again marveled by just how much leg room is in the back seat and what a wonderful date car she is (for the married, ;)!).
I walked around her outside and realized that even though our Buick is large, nothing compares to her size.
I slipped into the driver's seat, felt the leather upholstery cold with the night, looked out over her 9' and counting hood and realized what a powerful beast she truly is.
She was the one we bought and everybody laughed at, but oh how we loved her.
She was the one who we could drive on the interstate and feel like you were floating.
She was the one who people would offer to buy from you while driving her.
She was the one who could fit 10 girls in one trip.
She was the one who could pack everything into and still have room for five extra kitchen sinks.
She was the one who could only be rivaled by our other love, a Suburban.
*sigh*
I can't wait for tomorrow... More importantly, I can't wait until our appointments are over and I can take her down to the car wash, clean her up real nice, condition her interior leather, and show her some good ole lovin' she so deserves.
"I was putting the kids' car seats in her and I was once again marveled by just how much leg room is in the back seat and what a wonderful date car she is (for the married, ;)!)." So, by that I assume you mean plenty of room for Bible studies and the Holy Spirit? :)
Yay for the old car! I drive a beast as well, and he will be hard to part with someday! I hope you have fun with the Lincoln!
I love this car! It's my favorite!
Alicia S. - Of course! I mean, what else would I be talking about? Holly - Isn't it fun being a little person in an enormous car? I love it!
Look! There is even a special cross on the hood! It is the coolest!
Can we clean it up so nice that it's owners will say, "Wow! What a great car!" It looks like it would like a good cleaning.
Ahh, yes. I agree Dana, I had forgotten how much love and joy can come from a car. Enjoy her all you can!
