About a year ago, Red started shopping for a new car. The first car he noticed on the highway that looked interesting was a Volvo. Fast forward 11 months and many, many test drives. Red was in the Volvo dealership, trying to convince them to give him the car he liked for free. Well, not quite free, but for a price that was pretty laughable. They laughed, we left. A few emails back and forth, but they were still snickering. Until yesterday - the dreaded "last day of the month" - and the last of what CNN is reporting was a horrible car sales month. They stopped laughing, and Red bought the car.
We have a tradition of naming cars in our house, and we struggled with this one. We wanted something that paid tribute to the Swedishness of the car. Sven? Bjorn? Ikea? No, food lovers - the car's name is Meatball.
We celebrated by going out for spaghetti.
Very nice! But Meatball? I vote for Sven. It isn't too late to legally change the name and Joshua, after all, is a lawyer!
ReplyDeleteGenius! I love that such a sleek car has Meatball for a name.
ReplyDeleteMeatball rocks! Good job on the patience and bargaining Joshua!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I LOVE the name! As a former Volvo owner, you're going to greatly enjoy this vehicle. Well done, Joshua, on waiting the dealer out!
ReplyDeleteAdorable family pic (the car is nice, too :)
