Baby, You Can Drive My Car...Beep Beep'm Yeah!

Baby you can drive my Car

Yes I'm Gonna Be A Star

Baby you can drive my car

And maybe I'll love you

Beep, beep'm, beep beep Yeah!

Several of my blogosphere friends have wondered just what I drive that gets me in so much trouble.  Is it apparent that my car is smirking and saying "Can you Handle This."  This sleek darling was a combination Christmas/Birthday gift from my sweet husband.  It a six speed manual transmission (really, who would want an automatic sportscar?) Porsche Carrera.  It has a rear engine and a minuscule backseat (you would fit comfortably if you were three feet tall)  A very dear man kept it in his garage for about five years...so essentially it is still very, very new to me.  Men flirt with this car all the time...they speak to me to be polite!  Younger guys always want to show their stuff and I'm like DUDE...are you kidding me!  Sometimes, and I blame the car totally, I can't resist and have to show those guys just how fast this grandma can go.  This is why the South Carolina Highway Patrol attempts to keep me in check.  As I have said before, it is the car's fault...it just doesn't like to drive below optimum performance and pray tell where can you drive that fast legally except at the race track?  Me and the car, we have an understanding...now if we could just get the police force on board we would be golden. 

Happy driving my friends and if you ever come this way...we will surely go for a spin!

Not 2 Day

Darling Husband and I went for a lovely drive after weeding and planting flowers and more herbs. Darling Husband thinks I should race cars...since I enjoy driving so fast...this tag was seen at the track...nope, not racing cars 2 day...not doing anything adventurous 2 day...Mercury is in Retrograde...it is highly recommended that one uses extreme caution whilst transporting and communicating or beginning new projects during this planetary alignment or misalignment...do I believe the planets have a direct influence on our lives...verdict out on that one...let us just say...many coincidences do occur when the Moon is full or the Moon is void of course or Mercury turns Retrograde...just sayin...

I really, really like this tag!

There is a class for anyone who wants to race from weekend warriors in Hondas to Formula One type cars. I saw several Porsches outfitted with roll bars for racing. A spin/burn out pit is kept wet for practice...sure wish I had known about that when I spun my Boxster round and round and round...nobody was hurt, car was good...crazy scary! May take the new car in there for a test spin...

Husband pretending to be Mario Andretti...his ear looks huge from this angle.

Ahhh...the glamorous life I lead...

In case you are wondering (and even if you are not) this was my hood ornament...poor guy was hanging on for dear life when I noticed him.

He began crawling to the front of the car near the windshield with feet hanging on like suction cups and tail flying over his head. Lest you worry about our little lizard's fate...yes I did...I pulled over and gently prodded him to the safety of the woods.

Thank goodness he was riding on the Grandma Car...it would have been too bad so sad if my alter ego was driving the other car, course he might of landed in the car with me which may have induced a slight freak out! What is your driving style...fast, speed limit, cautious, radio loud, car dancing, singing or circumspect? Do you brake for turtles, frogs or squirrels? Do you ever drive just to enjoy the journey rather than racing to the destination? Do tell...inquiring minds want to know...
