Genius Golfer unearthed the Baby Camaro from its cocoon yesterday and took it to work, leaving me the smug little Honda. Ahhhh, the joys of having a vehicle again.
The Camaro hadn't been out for a real drive since Nephew Bryce took it to prom in May! I guess that goes to show just how much golfing GG really did this summer. Not much.
There is something so satisfying about having a car just waiting for me in the garage, as opposed to being a parasite on my friends' good will. Though, I do have lovely and dear friends who schlepped me around for about 10 days while I was wheel-less and the weather wasn't going to cooperate with Camaro driving.
This Camaro is really a ridiculous car for our weather here. It is a convertible. CHECK. It is rear-wheel drive. CHECK. GG babies it and doesn't want it to get dirty. CHECK. DOUBLE CHECK.
I love driving, and being foot-loose and fancy free. Well, that part is not exactly right, but it sure beats begging rides from very kind and willing friends and feeling guilt about doing just that. I still have things that need doing, and chores that need completing, and commitments that need fulfilling. It is all so much easier and convenient (and warmer) with a car of my own.
With any luck the Durango will be repaired and back to me about the time the kids are finished with school and are released for Christmas break. Better late, than never.

I remember, back in the day, when we only had one vehicle. It wasn't pretty. It is so nice to be able to have one. I hope your Durango gets back to you soon.
