These Are The Days...

I sometimes wonder if I am not being a bit to self indulgent by owning a car that I only drive about once a month. It seems like a waste of money every time I make a car payment as well as send in my insurance payment. But then I get a day like today. It is 72° and sunny today. There is no humidity and driving down the road with the top down, I don’t care if I am being self indulgent. Days like today make owning my convertible a necessity and not in indulgence.

I remember when I bought the car, my ex called me and in an argument, born more out of what her friends and family were telling her, she said she didn’t think the car was very practical. I asked her if I needed to be practical. We talked and she understood and from that point on we have never argued again. I think she always felt I would never do anything to hurt her personally or financially, but that day I was able to make her realize those feelings were true.

Since the last time I mentioned this car, Noojes asked me what color my Jag was and Kris asked me if she could have it, I thought I would include a picture. So for Noojes the car is British Racing Green and for Kris, I will think about it. ;)
