It's been 15 years since I bought my current car, a Subaru Outback. Soon it will be no more mom car! My son will inherit it when he gets his license in a few months.

It was love at first test drive in the Countryman S. I was absolutely giggling when I tried the turn radius!

My sweet ride is getting closer - the Tomar is currently at port in Panama waiting to go through the canal. It lands at Port Hueneme on 8/8. I hope it won't too long to get to the dealer.

I'll have a 1:20 min or so drive home from the dealership and I'm thinking of making a mix tape (CD) to play in the car. I may start with the Cars Let the Good Times Roll. Any other suggestions? I'm not big on hip hip or country.

Thanks in advance!

 

Queen- I'm in love with my car.

Oooh
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin', and the hubcaps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Mmm, it's like a disease, son
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks saying this is the end, now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car (love with my car), gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car (love with my car), string back gloves in my automolove

 

Perfect! More please!
