Although my mom said it looks like an old lady car and my dad said the color I chose was something a grandmother would choose; with a manual transmission, moon roof, 6 disc CD player and the capability to sync with an iPod, it's definitely not your father's Oldsmobile.
There is a story behind the pink lei on the shifter. In 1989 we went to Florida for Christmas and to celebrate my grandparents' 50th anniversary. While we were there we went to Disney World and Alina got to go with us because she was on vacation from school. My grandmother gave us each some money to spend at Disney and with my money I purchased the pink lei. For many years it hung on the bedpost in my room and then a couple vehicles ago I decided I would wrap it around the shifter. Now it is just tradition for it to be in my vehicle.
This squirrel arrived at our house on Christmas Eve. Apparently she had heard of the demise of squirrels on South Lane over the summer because she insisted on riding inside my car, seat belted in for additional safety.
