Out with the old, in with the new (well, new to us)

Here is our old faithful servant. She's on the block now, we are hoping for a good and gentle new owner.

The car is a 1999 Cadillac Deville we bought from a LOL (little old lady). We have had her since summer, 2002, she had only 16K miles then. Now, four and a half years later she has 162K. We put on a lot of miles pretty fast for retired people!


Going, going, ... (not gone yet!)

Here is our "new to us" car, a 2006 Cadillac DTS, also from a LOL. She put 17K miles on this one. We are wondering, how long will it take us to get this one up to 162K.

Mrs. Jim is the 'principle driver.' She will take it whenever she goes for her errands and fun. It will double as our traveling and 'Sunday go to church' car, we trade off doing the driving for this and other times when we are both in the car.



Now, Adi has been looking for her spot to ride. Guess what? Mrs. Jim or I do the riding here.

She makes out like a bandit sometimes, but THIS is in my Mustang where she gets the front seat unless Mrs. Jim is there too. [large picture] [super size]

Adi's place will be in the back seat. We will get or make her a fitted blanket to put on the seat.

Too, we want window pads as she loves to stand with her front legs on the window sill, riding along with her head out the window. Her ears flap real good in the breeze. She puts herself back in when we get to about 45 mph.

We don't have a timeline for this, but for sure it will be by July this year. Blogstock '08 (link) needs Adi, she is the most popular subject on my blog. The kids are a little jealous!
