We’ve needed a second car for a while, and it became a priority when our daughter came home from her first year at college. She has a job for the summer, and will also need wheels for socializing with her homies in the evening. Also, we just need a second car.
Initially, I found a 1966 Checker being sold privately, and I was enamored of the idea of driving around in this big ol’ monster. But eventually I came down from that high and realized that we needed a car that required minimum fixing up, and had a more reliable pedigree.
So yesterday my daughter and I went out looking.
And we found a car that has enough personality, style, and pizzazz to suit a 19-year-old coed and a man going through a mid-life crisis.
Monday evening, we take delivery on our 1996, black Chrysler Sebring convertible. Yeah, baby, a convertible!! 
And, as an extra added attraction, it only has 33,000 miles on it.
Whoah! He’s a parent… and he said homies!
And he bought his daughter a convertible!
Are you adopting?

I can legally go out and buy you a six pack if you wanted one. 
Pick Me!
I’m toilet trained, straight teeth, legal to buy booze and I come already equipped with two beautiful children that can be instant grand children.
I’d like a mini, please.

Hmm I like you a lot better now that I’ve see this post and found out your real username.
As I read threads, for some reason, I have to mentally pronounce the name. And I read yours as “Dave Double-u Double Oh Seventy one” Which is an obnoxious mouthful. I disliked you for making me go through all that. :mad:
But if it’s just “Dave Woo seventy one” That is much better, and will disrupt my thread reading rythym much less.
That is all
[/total hijack]
Dave Woo is 71.
heeeee.
And he has a teenage daughter.
He should be so lucky.
Actually, those are zeroes.
It’s “Dave double-you zero zero seven one.”
But so many people think of me and refer to me as “Dave Woo”, I’ve sort of adopted it as an unofficial nom de board.
Also, let me make it clear, I did not buy my daughter a convertible. I bought the family a convertible, and she will have the use of it while she is home.
But the car is MINE!
Other than your cool factor, I have nothing positive to say. Nevertheless, you shall hear much in the next month.
