He was very dependent on public transportation for his job as well as school and it looked very like they were facing a serious strike situation last year we were able to lend him a car for the duration (which wasn't long.) Not long after that we had an option to give him one of the cars on a permanent basis. <br /><br />"Permanent", as it tuned out, was the approximately 7 weeks between the time we paid off the note and the car suffered a catastrophic break down. Buh Bye. <br /><br />Enter my in-laws. <br /><br />Tenacious. Relentless. Determined. Think Tony McAuliffe and George Patton at Bastogne. Think Frank Shorter in Munich, Ali in Zaire, and Indians 9, Jays 8 on June 4, 1995.<br /><br />They don't rest. <br /><br />They scored a BEAUTIFUL car for his birthday, just mint, so we split the cost and gave it to him on his birthday. I think I never have been more grateful for and proud of four human beings as I was that day. Mike, the Innies, and my charming child bride.<br /><br />So every now and then I give him a little 'lucky kid' zinger, but he earned it. And I'm the lucky one.<br /><br /><br />MR<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-2628941377227627832013-07-15T10:20:45.152-04:002013-07-15T10:20:45.152-04:00Yes.

Hi RJ. Yes, L...Thanks, JOG, she is one hot wagon. <br /><br />Hi RJ. Yes, Lil' OB is zipping around town in the Cooper, whilst enduring the not-so-occasional lecture regarding how lucky she is to be doing so.
