Title: New car! Woohoo!
Post by: MIbarra on April 07, 2009, 04:25:12 PM
Today my hubby surprised me at work with a new car!

He came to my classroom and asked for my keys and he gave me what I thought were his keys. This isn't unusual because sometimes he'll stop by and wash my car or change the oil in my car and leave me his keys. I was busy with my kids so I didn't pay him too much attention. He left.

I stopped for some reason to look at the keys and noticed they weren't his since they had this weird symbol on them! So I ran next door to my partner teacher's classroom, shoved the key in her face and asked if it was a Cadillac symbol. She said, "Yeah, I think so why?" I told her I thought my husband just bought me a new car. So I ran out to the parking lot and sure enough there was the car we had been looking at. He said, "Happy Early Anniversary!"  :cheer:

Woohoo! Just excited -- had to share.

Being an old mechanic, this reminded me of a saying we had "Cadillac - Cadillac , wish I had my money back" good luck with your new car  :thumbup;

How lucky are you, he loves you so very much, why not post a photo of it I'd love to see it, we don't have many of them around in the UK.  My son had one years ago and had to sell it is it drank too much petrol. Yvonne  :ukflag;

I resent that, I drive a Ford! :boxing;
Although not my first choice of vehicles, I never had a problem mechanical wise.

I'll take any decent vehicle I can afford. If I could afford it, I would get the Cadillac CTS-V  ;D

Congrats on the new car.  How cool to have a great surprise like that.

We used to have several sayings for FORD when I was growing up:  Found on Road Dead, Fix or repair daily, etc. 
Now, guess what?  I'm driving a ford (Mustang) but it is awesome as heck.

Enjoy the Caddie   :bunny:

WOW that is a great surprise.
The new cadilacks for the past five years are all very nice and sporty.  Good for you.  What color is it?

Slywalker.  Another saying for ford is

Fastest On Race Day  :thumbup;   I miss my 69 mustang

Oh - I had not heard Fast on Race Day!!!  I'm going to adopt that one.   I like it.  My mustang is a GT 2008 - beautiful car.

We actually used to have a Ford -- an Escape and we loved it! Then we both ended up with PT's. I liked mine, but we put a bunch of miles on it and the a/c was just about to go out. And I can't live without a/c in Houston summer weather!

Twirl, I haven't had to do the "laundry" yet! Hubby works too much right now!  =)  But I'll do it with pleasure this weekend!  lol

It is charcoal grey and black leather interior. It has butt warmers  :sir ken; in the seats, and onstar, xm.. i think the only thing it doesn't have is the nav system. 

I already smacked my kidney transplant recipient ribbon magnet that I got from Okarol on the back of the car.

I will try to take some pictures this weekend.

Yay! It worked. I was kinda wanting a shiny red one, but hubby picked out this color.
