Pimp My Ride

I like to think of myself as 27 going on 40.  Buying a Volvo last week pretty much sealed the deal.  It's not a station wagon, but it is an SUV, and let be honest, that's not too far off. 

For a Volvo, we think it looks pretty slick though.  No boxy edges to be found.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it is a dark blue-grey and has tan leather interior. 

Before we bought it, we had to take it for a test drive all the way to our house to make sure it fit into our small garage, and most importantly fit beloved Maddie.  She's not to keen to be so far away from her parents (and separated by a gate), but I think she likes being able to lie down for naps after a nice long day at Point Isabel. 

This is the first time in our marriage that we've had two cars and we're both looking forward to how it will simplify things.  I also have fantasies of calling home after a long day and sending John out to buy groceries/dinner.  I'm not sure this is what John had in mind when he signed up for a second car, though.
