Default My 25th Birthday!

Is on Saturday, and I got the best gift! A new car! My husband bought it for me and brought it home today, it's my very first mom car, yay yay. Uglier than sin, but practical and perfect.

Your husband is nicer than me. My wife's 25th is this year, and I'm not buying her a new car.

Trust me I'm not that nice. I'm just trying to get laid.

Well you sure are setting the bar high. What happens the next time you're going for it? Are you going to have to pull out a Kobe and go for the 18k diamond ring?

Good point. Good thing I didn't get the all-weather floor mats.

Gotta leave yourself some room for the up-sell. Very smart.

I guess you weren't as dumb as I was buying a house on our 1st anniversary. Not much room to go from there but up...

Happy Birthday and Congrats on the new ride.

It looks like Surfah even registered the car in Europe, which is very romantic of him.

Thank you. We are pretty stoked about it, it was a buy that we needed since we are trying to make the fam bigger and bigger. Lots of storage for traveling too since our parents live on opposite coasts. Yeah, I told him to use another pic, but it was all we could find that was small enough to see the whole thing and not leave you scrolling just to see it in pieces. Ours is a darker gray too.

Good for you and congrats. I'm happy you like it (sincerely).

Now no offense, but I'm about to be 35, and I would spear any man's wiener who tried to buy me a mini van. :twisted:

I've never understood this type of feeling. Smacks of insecurity and impracticality.

Minivans are totally practical, and the new models are no longer oversized dustbusters but can be stylish in their own way.
