caPRICE classic

I don't know why I chose this as my first story to tell on here, but it's a story worth telling so here it goes...

My husband loves weird cars. My husband loves old cars. Over the summer my truck had some issues that put it out of commission for a few weeks. Josh began searching online auctions for a back up car. One day during that time period I was driving through Lynden and passed the bus barn and see this out in their parking lot....

The moment I saw it, I KNEW! I knew they were going to put it up for sale on publicsurplus.com and my husband would see it and buy it and I would be stuck with it  have the pleasure of owning it.

A few days went by and this conversation happened while out for a drive:

J: "Babe, I found the perfect car for us"

Me: "Let me guess, a station wagon"

J: "ya... how'd you know... you won't guess what kind"

Me: "caprice classic?"

J: "you'll never guess what color"

Me: "it's baby blue isn't it"

At this point he thought I had been snooping in his emails or something, but I hadn't I just know the man that well! LOL

Picking up the wagon

Josh bid on it and went back and forth with a guy for a bit and ended up winning it, but it had to be picked up during school hours. So I got the pleasure of doing that with a little help from my parents who watched the kids. 

so much leg room

After a tune up it was ready for the road. It's had a few hiccups here and there and I got a crash course in vehicle towing, but it's been a fun ride for Josh and the kids on the weekends.

Going to church "no pictures Mom!"

Even though it looks old it's actually a 1989, so it has some modern options like power windows and such. The 3rd row seat in the trunk makes everyone we pass smile and remember their childhoods.

Sending him off on his campout

 He even took it up a mountain on his Price Brothers Campout! I have to say it has been kinda nice having it, but I'm not giving up my Excursion!
