View Full Version : Got the Nicest Surprise Today!!
Jude The Obscure 10-16-2008, 08:03 PM My mom and my stepdad bought me a new car today!!!!:wave:
it's a 2007 Ford Focus in Aqua Blue (at first, I thought it was Royal but that's a deeper blue than this)
A/C, working windows (:lol:), and a great stereo are just fringe benefits (hee hee heeeee)
I was so shocked when they came to my job and asked for my keys to the junkmobile (the old van)--like why??
Because we got you this--Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!
I was in such disbelief LOL
:D
Wreckless 10-16-2008, 08:08 PM Congrats and enjoy your new wheels and baby lol! Do you have any siblings, jw? If not, at least you won't have to drive them around. If you do, don't pull a Wayne Arnold :lol:. Aka stopping for your passenger to get in, then moving ahead a little, telling them to get in, moving ahead a little, and so on and so on :lol:. Have fun with it though.
Jude The Obscure 10-16-2008, 08:12 PM I'm 39, soon to be 40........those days are looooooooooong gone :lol:
Wreckless 10-16-2008, 08:14 PM o ok lol..
PunkyP0WER 10-16-2008, 08:14 PM Cool beans! Congrats! I can't wait to get a new car in a few more years mine is only 3 years old but looks like crap thanks to 2 people rear ending me and a third side swiping me! It was repaired but its just not the same! Anyway its a coupe and as I've taken on a lot more responsibility running the house I need a mini suv, something small like a chevy tracker, to fit my groceries and other errands i do.
Jude The Obscure 10-16-2008, 08:15 PM i'm still pinching myself, PunkyPower! :lol:
First time ever in my life to have a NEW car--it's always been others' hand me junk downs! :p

Jude The Obscure 10-17-2008, 10:09 PM Thanks Monika! :)
I'm sorry BTO about your situation, but I'm far from a pampered rich kid! :lol:
dawsongirl 10-17-2008, 10:14 PM That is great. I was disappointed when my new car smell faded away a couple months ago. :(
coffield3 10-17-2008, 10:21 PM Congrats! :)
Jude The Obscure 10-17-2008, 10:21 PM Buy a refill :D You can get it in those small spray bottles in the auto air freshner section :)

And they were used too. Mom picked them up at a yard sale.:mad:

Thats no problem, Jude The Obscure, I still love them.:D Enjoy your new ride.
TripperFan 10-18-2008, 01:21 AM Wow - cool!!
Ya think they'd want to adopt an older daughter from a foreign country? ;)
Congrats and enjoy! :wave:
Schmoopie 10-18-2008, 04:14 AM That's awesome Jude! Congrats on the new car! Aren't new cars wonderful?! And the smell is just intoxicating! I love royal blue and your car sounds really nice! Your parents sound like wonderful people!

Congrats on the new set of wheels! Happy travelin'!!:wave:
Courtnee 10-18-2008, 08:44 PM haha, that's great! I really want a Toyota Prius, but right now I have 1996 Jeep Cherokee. Just a car to get me from A to B.

Toyota Prius' are cool! My husband and I took a test drive in one! Right now I have a Toyota Echo, which I love, but it's a little big. Unfortunately, they only sell the smaller models (the hatchbacks) in Canada, and I hear that they've discontinued all Echo models (in the US and Canada), even though it got really high ratings from Consumer Reports. Unbelievable. I think I'm jinxed. I was all set to buy a new model of my Geo Metro, and they discontinued those too!:mad:

Don't worry, Andrea, maybe you can find a good deal on a Yugo. :eek: :joke: :rofl:
Jude The Obscure 10-20-2008, 04:21 PM Thanks guys!!
les anyone get the wrong idea.....we are not rich, far from it. My mom worked for over 45 years....couldn't anymore over a year ago and has just now been awarded her SS disability payments. I, along with my stepdad, had been the sole incomes for quite awhile and it has been a struggle always.
But if anyone stills wants to be adopted, come by and pick up an application form and we will let the lucky winner know by Christmas! :rofl:
