To start with, consider this:
Now admittedly I tend to think I am more of a rocker than a mod, but I would rather ride this:
Yes, I'm a Vespa girl. I've even been nearly run over by one on more than once in Rome, but I still love it. Unfortunately, I would need to live much closer to my place of business, because I don't relish riding one in the mid-winter for long periods of time.
Or I could drive this in the winter:
Right now our family car compromise between an MG and a mini-van is this number:
The Audi A4 wagon - within the stodgy exterior of a family car lies the power of German engineering.
However, should we, for some unforeseen reason, out grow this vehicle, we're upgrading to this:
Yes, the Unimog, the Swiss Army Mercedes truck. Just throw the kids in back on the comfortable benches and away we go. This one is a bargain at 4500 Euros. Even in my childfree state I'm sorely tempted. I'd love to blow by a Hummer in one of these beauties.
And for the parades:
And for Trabant/Ostalgie:
Unfortunately our next car will probably be a used Honda or VW Rabbit (sentimental value for Matt). I'd like to get an old truck - but each of us has our own nostalgia for either Ford or Chevy which will most likely never be resolved.
In the meantime I will just have to ask Gretchen to take me out for a spin in her new bug. And you can enjoy a picture of Matt and me in his grandpa's MG shortly after we got engaged two years ago (it was considered for a time to be our engagement picture):
My we were young!
