my first classic car

yesterday i became the owner of my first classic car.
a 1965 buick riviera.
it is kind of a big deal to me.
two years ago i wrote this post.
i never really thought i would own this car but it was one of those moments in life where everything just worked out and it was meant to be.
once we have time to really clean the car up and do a few minor things to it i'll take better pictures and share them.  
this evening we had this car and our other vehicle out because we met up to get the title put in my name.  as we were getting ready to head home we noticed some rather ominous clouds in the direction of our house.  i decided i'd be brave and drive this beast even if it did start storming, although i was nervous since it is foreign to me.  will followed me just in case something crazy happened.  i felt so grown up driving my very own new/old car home.  that was until the rain came pouring down and i couldn't figure out the windshield wipers.  i was slightly nervous but luckily made it home without incident despite zero use of windshield wipers in a sudden downpour.  
so here is the new addition to our family and more on it later.

  4. That is a really nice car! This model will never go out of style, because it surely goes along with modern and stylish cars that are available today. Anyway, it really feels great when you’re able to drive the kind of car you’ve always wanted. Cheers!

  5. Waiting for two years before owning your first classic car was all worth it, yes? Classic cars are pretty amazing, and they’re surprisingly durable despite their age. Anyway, I do hope you’re able to take good care of that car. Are you still driving it until today?
