I&#39;m driving an Audi A4 (turbo - love it!) and I just want to do some killer paint on it. I know that isn&#39;t very mom-ish. But my first car and love is my &#39;66 bug - if you travel that classic car route it sticks for life.Mellisahttp://ridingontoys.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1366889189117192572009-01-22T21:26:00.000-08:002009-01-22T21:26:00.000-08:00awww you made me miss my integra and the annoying boys that thought just because i had a loud exhaust meant i liked to race (i actually purchased the car like that...it became "me" but i wouldn't have opted to put it there myself). <BR/><BR/>sometimes i do yearn for my party days, but being a retired-raver with a "real" life is far more interested!<BR/><BR/>now, i'm pregnant with my first child, i drive a Rav4, i own a home...i'm responsible dammit. that doesn't mean i don't still like to drive fast with the bass (the sad sad base of stock speakers minds you) thumping and still remember how it felt to drop the car into a lower gear to blow someone away at the toll plaza :Pamberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07999500699552069455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-44174616379056472422008-02-29T11:13:00.000-08:002008-02-29T11:13:00.000-08:00I am reading through your old blogs and just NOW read this...I miss my Operation Ivy days too, and I don't even have a baby yet!

I think it's pretty cool that we all drive station wagons. A little weird that MIM and I have 179821 things in common, but fantastic.<BR/><BR/>I also think it's pretty cool that we are all grown-ups in training. I meant to mention in my post that my Wagon has training wheels. With 24'' chrome rims.GIRL'S GONE CHILDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07130764109593048451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1139947487178255462006-02-14T12:04:00.000-08:002006-02-14T12:04:00.000-08:00Girl, I drive that same wagon (color and all) AND I have very similar rectangle glasses.

We have a '93 Ford Tempo called the Black Cupcake. It's falling apart but it can outrace most cars.

I'm with you all the way. I'm glad I had my party days when I was younger. I had my son (now 10) at 19. I was in college and with a guy that was only bringing me down. <BR/>Now I have a beautiful son that has changed my life, and I'm so thankful for 'im! <BR/>Always proud to drive a station wagon...within reason.<BR/><BR/>Happy Valentine's Day!Kimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15770504960405890526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1139937557756551932006-02-14T09:19:00.000-08:002006-02-14T09:19:00.000-08:00Thanks for making me feel cool driving in my Passat wagon...I forgot what that felt like for awhile! I agree, you grow up when you become a mom but wouldn't change it for the world, and now you have this little person that thinks you're the bomb and probably will for about 13 years or so.Bridgermamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16730308881568756134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1139936955567398362006-02-14T09:09:00.000-08:002006-02-14T09:09:00.000-08:00Great post!

I'm not sure if I'm there yet - I still desire a little attention now and then (from people other than the huz and daughter) and I'm still not sure if I'm totally comfortable wearing the mom hat yet. BUT, it's starting to fit (or maybe I'm just finally starting to like how it looks...) and I appreciate your sharing. That's why I started blogging - to hear and share stories about the journey of motherhood.Kristenhttp://motherhooduncensored.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1139880407108514542006-02-13T17:26:00.000-08:002006-02-13T17:26:00.000-08:00love it! love you! the new you! <BR/><BR/><BR/>... and is that beau obrien? love him too! hee heesarahnoreply@blogger.com
