Day 219 - Car Surprise?

No, this is not a surprise Christmas gift, with a bow. This was taken today at the Carmax, used car dealership. Thomas our "sales-guy" placed a temp bow on our newly purchased Kia.  He was delightful, by the way.  We spent as much time talking about Frank Lloyd Wright, the Guggenheim Museum and NYU, as we did cars.  I'm pretty darn excited to drive this car, but I'll be sad to say good-bye to my well-worn Honda Element. 

Favorite Past Cars: The (1965?) red, Ford Galaxay convertible, that held our family of 6... Dad's red Fiat Spider convertible, that he used to teach me to drive stick... Our crazy (not classy) conversion van called "Prime Time", with mood lights and built in TV... '73 Chevy pick-up that Don drove, on our first date... My new 1978 , 4,000-dollar Ford Fiesta, with no a.c. or power windows!
