This one is of my car. Don't worry, it was inside the dealership! Her name
is Sparkly but her sparkles aren't visible unless it is sunny and you are up
close. She has green and purple sparkles in her paint.

I refer to mine as my "Seniors Shaggin' Wagon" but it just gets used for transporting groceries. The "Good 'ol Days" were certainly more interesting.

I am not a photographer. I didn't want them to be huge. If they are really
bad, I can resize and do it over but when I looked at them, they looked
okay. And no, I got the whole car but because it was in the doorway, I
could only shoot it from that angle.

if you don't mind I'm going to steal your idea and make a million dollars
selling bumper stickers in Dennys' parking lots (see I made it food related
after all ... wait no the stuff they serve at Denny's can't really be
called food, my bad)

My dad used to have a Buick Electra. It was white. My mom called it The
Big Marshmallow. At the time it had more bells and whistles than any other
car I'd been in. I called it The Electric Lemon. It seemed to break down
about once a week.

See? Both food related.

The pics are upside-down, FFS.
Not being 'a photographer' doesnt even begin to explain that.

Fred is a good name for a car.

I've never bothered to name my cars but I do know people who do.
Strikes me as a bit quirky, but what the heck.

Well, I've never named a car other than to refer to it by its type (as
in "are we taking the Subaru to the store, or the Nissan?"), and I
honestly don't know anyone else who has named a car.

Me too Jill and Julie. I looked at them and then clicked on the link
later on in the night. No upside down pictures here either.

Thankyou for the pics, Julie. I've been bugging you for years and
you've finally sent some. I do appreciate that and I'm sure many
others do too. You talk about many things and it's always best to see
a pic of what you (or anyone) talks about.

Now, I wish you'd go back and send a pic of your odd shaped bathroom
and also of your kitchen that you painted last year. And.....if you
ever post a pic of you biting into a bigmac (my stupid ongoing joke
with you), I'll send you.....ummmmm..... maybe a baby ferret? Or at
least a coupon for a free bigmac again.

Thanks again for the pics.

I took the pics, mailed them to myself, saved on my desktop (small size)

You don't want to see my bathroom. I don't even want to see it! And I know
if I did post a kitchen pic I would get nothing but grief from some people.
But maybe one day I will. I think I do have some in my phone. I'll have to
look.

That's a "Mini", now owned by BMW. You can tell by the badge on the nose
of the car. The emblem goes back to the days when cars were being made
by Austin. Even the Austin-Healy has a similar badge.

Several decades ago, I had a British friend that owned an Austin-Morris
Minor that she described as "tatty." It was the first time I had heard
the word and I thought it described the car perfectly, without being the
least bit coarse.
