A new little sister or brother for Ruby...

Here he/she is! not officially named yet but a few weeks ago I took the plunge and purchased a MERCEDES! Classy right?

Well, I'll let you be the judge of that, all I know is the price is right and it is packing some power in the character department - which scores big points around this household!

He/she does not have an official name yet, but we have a tendency to call it "merc"(merse).... male, or female??? The jury's out on this one, and until the official naming there's no pressure, right?

Why abandon the faithful Ruby Red? Well, while she was a companion full of character, fuel efficiency (seriously) and conversation-killing rumblings it turns out she was not very accommodating to child car seats and elders wanting to feast in out of town community halls (never mind the upcoming chilly temperatures and interior draftiness!)

She is still on the best parking spot in the driveway and an exciting new development is underway!
