But then the other day I found myself taking the long way to the grocery store just so I could drive my Wagoneer a little bit more. (The grocery store is only a quarter of a mile from my house, so I had to be creative.) The thrill hasn't worn off yet. I know it is just a car, but it really does make me happy every time I see it. And is it crazy that it motivates me to get dressed in the morning? This car just deserves better than sloppy pajamas or mom sweats.
I'd love to hear what your dream car is. Are you lucky enough to drive it?

I was JUST telling my husband the other day how much I wanted a Wagoneer!! Hopefully, I will be driving one too, sooner than later:)
ReplyDeleteOh, you are driving my dream car! My husband teases me about it (lovingly of course), but I don't care. I can picture myself in that adorable car!
ReplyDeleteBTW...I am really loving your pictures you've posted lately!
I have always wanted to buy and restore a 1984-86 Suburban. I love them! I have wanted on even before I had 6 kids :)
ReplyDeletethat is a really cool car.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not my daddy drove two different Wagoneers while I was growing up. I have a soft spot for them but I've always had a thing for the Volvo V70 XC. The early nineties edition.
ReplyDeletep.s. The wood paneling on your Wagoneer always reminds me of the one from Baby Boom with Diane Keaton.
I love your car!
ReplyDeleteWe see a lot of them where we live..
we live on the beach and I just love my Land Rover. We drive it right on the beach and park. No lugging beach toys, chairs for us. :)
Wagoneer LOVE! It really is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteA bright yellow Wagoneer was our family car growing up. Great memories of my Mom. My husband and I want a convertible "Thing" for our dream beach house some day.
ReplyDeleteour wagoneer looked exactly like yours only with the darker brown interior!
ReplyDeleteI love that you love your Wagoneer!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with Danyelle....whenever I see it, I think of that movie!!
THis post made me smile from ear-to-ear :) you know I am a total car person!!!! And mine is my new black tahoe ... been my dream car for 10 years. :) But never "love" a car, just "like it alot" ... is what I have learned over the years. ;)
ReplyDeletepretty sure you have my dream car :)
ReplyDeleteWe had a wagoneer when we were first married. We had to sell it after a few years to help my husband get through school (which was so worth it), but I still do love those cars!!!
ReplyDeleteI love my car. hopefully I can get the exact same car next time around.
ReplyDeleteYep, you have my dream car as well. i would dress up for it too.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is my dream car! Wow! Am I ever jealous. You are a blessed woman for sure. It is gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteRight now any car bigger than a two-door coupe would do for me. It isn't easy getting my two littles in the backseat. I hope for a mini-van really soon.
ReplyDeleteI had a yellow Wagoneer once upon a time. Loved it. I do not care much what a car looks like but I so care that it is reliable. You have such a fun blog.
ReplyDeleteYOU are driving my dream car. Yep.
ReplyDeleteAnd if not a classic, I'd love an 06-'08 Pilot or pre-2008 MDX.
Nope, so not driving my dream car. Never have. I drive a 14 year old Avalon. Reliable but boring.
my favorite is the red porsche from "sixteen candles." it'd be even better if it came with jake ryan.
ReplyDeletea few years ago my husband actually bought that model of porsche, but burgundy in color. bad news is i can't drive it because it's a stick.
A dream car, huh? Well, one of those classic cars would be pretty fun to drive, you know, those that you have work on to restore them to their best state. The investment in time and effort would sweeten the style of the car itself.
