Est. 1999 Version 8
A Sensible Volvo
13Feb2008 Filed under: Transportation Author: DarinWhile waiting for my bus this morning a very sleek silver sports car rumbled past. I didn’t recognize the car so I watched it as it drove past to see if I could see the manufacturer’s emblem or a name. There were no markings on the car other than a logo I didn’t quite recognize. The car also caught the eye of the woman standing behind me, who thought it was an Aston-Martin.
She then told me how her son loves fancy sports cars and is always talking about them. She also mentioned her father worked for Ford so they always had a new sensible family car growing up. She, however, always wanted a sports car.
She then shared that she drove a sensible Volvo (still a Ford) during her soccer-mom years, but the desire for a convertable sports car never left her. So, when her kids were grown she went out and bought a three-year-old Porsche Boxster with 18,000 miles at less than half of retail.
She suggested that I do the same.

you guys have the best photos.
p.s. the kids had fun at church today talking about daniel in the lion’s den. and the word ‘poop’ only came up a couple of times! instead of 5432624 times. You would be proud.
p.s.s. I keep meaning to tell you about two times your lesson proved to have been heard from Zane:
a) looking in a mirror in a book and said’ my spirit looks like zane!’
b) upon reporting some spitting on his books to me, he gave me a thumbs DOWN to let me know it was a bad choice.
thanks for teaching my boy about important stuff. he’s totally listening and it means the world to me.

That kid is so smart! Teaching that class is so fun, and yet also a bit unnerving. I had no idea 3-year olds retained so much. It will keep Darin and I on our toes.
