I took the beemer out yesterday to get it some exercise as well as a good cleaning before I deliver it to Elliot. Who should I see on my brief journey but this guy. When he finally noticed me he gave me a very approving thumbs up.
I was reading old reviews about my car from back when it was new and the funniest was comparing my car to the hatchback version, as seen above. The author of the article basically said that the hatchback was a true driver's car while the convertible was more of a "hairdressers car".
WHATEVER.
As cool as that looks I'd still rather have the ragtop.
"She want to drive my Benz with five of her friends" - Jay Z
I knew there was a Mariah song but I couldn't think of it when I did that post earlier. It's because it's Jay Z that says it, I wasn't thinking outside the box. Thank you Jonathan for reminding me of this NECESSITY.
Also, thanks to Tommy for introducing me to this song which is now on my main itunes playlist and will be put on repeat for the rest of today:
You have no idea, the moment that I realized I could take my coffee with me to work, it was huge. It was also the moment that I realized Dan was right all along, you do need the lid to go with your tervis tumbler. I was a fool for doubting you, I apologize here for the record.
I am in love with my new car. I can't even begin to describe. As much as I love the roadster it feels so much more appropriate to park this in the mall parking lot.
My sister and I always talk about how so much of our experience with something is dependent on who we work with, especially for big ticket items like this. I will definitely say that even though Heather and I went to a bunch of places and had a lot of different cars in mind, it was working with Daniel at the Mercedes dealership here that made me feel good about getting this amazing car.
So my new project is to make a playlist featuring songs that reference Mercedes. Here's what I have so far:
"Got a new Benz the color of bacon bits" Hold Yuh - Nicki Minaj
"Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz" Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin
"Boom boom baby pick you up in my Mercedes" Selfish - Britney Spears
"Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't. If I wanna floss, I got my own" Love Don't Cost A Thing - Jennifer Lopez
"Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-y" Ride Wit Me - Nelly
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
I was also trying to think if my car was featured in any other pop culture references. I don't think mine has been specifically because this model is still too new and it's not really all that fancy or anything. But if you want to let me have some creative license I can say that they drove Mercedes SUVs in Jurrassic Park II:
I imagine if I ever get another cat this is the fate that will befall me when I leave them at home too long together to conspire. But at least I'll go out in style!
For now I'm holding on to my roadster, hopefully Elliot is going to be able to fix it for me and then I will figure out what I'm going to do with it. In the meantime I feel a little bit like this. My favorite part was the description of the Rolls' steering wheel that had melted off. I also thought it was interesting that the luxury car dealers were hoping that the cars would never get back on the market again.
At least I can comfort myself knowing that I'm not that ridiculous. But it does seem insane to look at two different keys on my counter. I told Eliza that I have finally realized my 8 year old dream. She seemed impressed.
I was intending to pick Jed up and take him for a drive in my new benz but he had other plans. I am not one to say no to an evening boat ride so I left the wagon in the driveway and put on my sea legs for the evening.
It was very nice, I feel fortunate to be invited on such adventures.
I can't believe I almost missed this post entirely. I forgot all about it being the 1st until Meghan texted me this morning and then I forgot again until just now.
Been all over the place the past couple days, trying to get things in order. Will write more and post pictures when I can get everything organized.
Wow, it's May! And look at this hussy.
I don't remember Barbie wearing so many sweeping ball gowns. I hope we get some more modern outfits for the summer.
