I bought my husband a car!

C’s favorite car ever is a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda.  For anyone who’s unfamiliar with them, they’re collector’s items, and one in “excellent” condition would probably bring in more than my house is worth.  I’d never heard of them until I met C.  So, for others like me, here’s a picture:

Well, on Friday, I found one for C, and I bought it.  I texted him and asked, “Is it the 1970 u like, or 1971?”  He assured me it was the 1970.  “What do you think of purple?” I asked.  “It can be repainted,” he replied.

I told him I didn’t think I had the fine motor control needed to repaint his car.  He was confused, “??? I wouldn’t paint a car on my own, either.” 

I sent him a picture to explain:

Here it is, sitting next to the Charger I bought him.  :-) It was hard to get the camera to focus well on the little matchbox.  But it sure put a smile on C’s face!
