Keeping the Car?

Several people have asked if I’m keeping the car once baby comes.

Yes. Yes I am.

Nobody believes me, but I will keep it. My will is strong. :)

Just look at it. Is that not the most beautiful machine you have ever beheld? And Jenn is fine with keeping it, so what’s the problem?

Okay, I admit the impracticalities of having a car that the child shouldn’t ride in until he or she is 13 years old (at least according to the NHTSA), due to no back seat and no switch to disable the passenger-side air bag. However, the plan is to keep an old car around that has a back seat. And Jennifer’s car will have a back seat, as well.

So, the S2000 may become more of a weekend-only car, but I’m definitely keeping it. Roadsters are in my blood. My dad owned a Fiat 124 Spider when I was growing up that he eventually gave me in college. That car was practically a member of the family, as far as I was concerned. My S2000’s light-blue color is partially an homage to that beloved Fiat. My hope is that Baby will eventually be equally fond of the S2000.
