Ever since I’ve known my husband, I’ve known that our future would include a late 1960s-model Camaro. It’s possible that he would settle for a Firebird, but the Camaro would be first choice.
Every once in a while Husband would hint that it was time and I would put the kaibosh on it quickly. It wasn’t time yet.
This summer, Husband not only hinted that it was time for a Camaro, he started bidding on them on Ebay and would send me pictures of his favorite cars. Frankly, I felt like since I’ve gotten a few consulting jobs, the kids are older, and we’ve done a fair job saving our money, if the man wanted to bid on a car we’d never get, have at it.
Except he got it. His bid didn’t meet the reserve price and we paid well below what those cars normally go for. Sometimes the economy works in your favor, I guess.
We took our first drive around the neighborhood this morning. I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s so much fun to drive in that car with the top down. To feel the wind on your face and arms. To wave to people who are waving to you. One guy flashed us the OK and thumbs up signs with a goofy smile. I couldn’t help but laugh and wave back.

One of these 75-degree evenings, y’all need to go to the drive in. That car = SO COOL.

Sweet ride!!!
Wow! Soo hot!!! I can’t show this post to my husband or he’ll start trolling ebay! LOL.
So incredibly jealous. See, I’m turning green. Well, then again, that could be due to all the rain we’ve been having up here in Maine.
Seriously, gorgeous car, and yeah, I’m still green with envy…or mildew.
