say hello to my leetle friend


delivered: march 7, 2008
at: 11:45 a.m.
to: lauren (& jeff)
weighing: 3,064 pounds
measuring: 173.8 inches


it's a bouncing baby subaru!!!


yes folks, after several weeks of researching, comparing, test-driving, haggling, and chasing various pieces of paper around two states, i have a new car!!!!! (and by new i mean--for the first time in my life--not just "new-to-me" but actually brand new!) i am still waiting on one more piece of paper before i can sally forth to the dmv and do battle, but in the meantime it is lovable, drivable, and alllllll mine!

i apologize for the totally crap photos...BUT...seeing as i took them with my phone...AND...managed to figure out how to send them to the picture-hosting site...PLUS...learned how to download/edit them, i am feeling quite obnoxiously proud and geek-girrrrrly. also, by the time i got the car home this evening it was pouring with rain!

(btw, i haven't purchased the automotive equivalent of two-toned saddle shoes...the pic was taken at the dealership before the white protective plastic covering was removed from the car...which for the record is a 2008 impreza hatch-back.)

    Oh wow - many congrats on your new delivery, 3064 pounds, hey? That must have really smarted!

    I hope you'll be happy with her and she won't give you too many teething troubles.

    I just thought it was sun glare causing the colour difference!

    Congratultions on the safe arrival of your bouncing new baby but just so we are clear, you don't expect your friends to cuddle it do you?
