The Newest Addition to our Family

I grew up in a family being the oldest of 2 younger sisters and 1 younger brother. Therefore coming from a family of mostly girls and having a father who claims the only thing he knows about cars is where the gas, oil, and payment go, I wasn't really exposed to cars very much. So when Brennen and I started dating the "car" talk between his brothers, dad, and him, were some what foreign to me. I still don't really understand what is that facinating with older cars, but I know it makes Brennen happy, so I just go with it.

After seeing Transformers, Bren began loving old Camaro's! After a while of looking on-line, craigs list, e-bay, and the sorts, he decided he had to get one. So Tuesday morning we went and picked up this lovely 1979 Camaro for $1700.

So Brennen decided that he needed new interior for this car because as you can tell in the picture below it was TRASHED! So the new interior I am very happy about, because I told Bren I wouldn't ride in it like it was! So this new car has become quite the project! Bren has inlisted the help of his brother Sam and friend Matt, and the guys have been working on it pretty much whenever they are not working or sleeping. I will keep you updated on the progress of the car. Oh yeah, I told Bren he could only buy it if he re-painted it...so don't worry we will be getting rid of that ugly brown VERY soon!

The new interior from another car, whose home is our living room until it gets put in!

Proof that I helped...just a little!


Brennen in the car....I think that might be a Zoolander face!


Ok, I got in...just long enough to take this picture!


So there it is the newest addition to our "Car Family"!
