Chris' New Ride

Gus helping Chris take photos
Chris' lease expires in early August and we knew we didn't want to keep that car or get another like it. So he's spent the last several months looking for a new car that was as manly and cool as he wanted. And now, from the man who famously stated to anyone and everyone "I will never buy an American car," may I present the Camaro.

Chris' new ride
He wanted me to show a picture of the engine. Obviously I'm not as interested in that as him. Apparently these take like 6 months to get if you order them. Someone else ordered this one and the deal fell through so the dealer called Chris and we went over and snatched it up today. The dogs enjoyed inspecting it. Harnesses and leashes are just for show around here. Finally Abby is not running off when you aren't holding on to her. We've had a bit of trouble with that when she's being too crazy.

Chris' New Ride
I'm editing to add some good dog photos from Chris. He loaded a bunch more photos onto my flickr account. Mostly I think so his Mom could see the car. Love this photo of Gus.

Abby on her fourth or fifth trip around the car. She was trying to figure out how to get in.

In the first shot at the top Gus is sitting in Chris' lap, Abby is walking by, and I am standing behind them all. This is Chris' view just a few seconds later. Also known as Gus sitting in his favorite seat.

Let Chris know that I looked at the pic of the engine and am impressed (but not sure why)!

I've seen one of these on the street. What a great looking car!

Is that a muscle car? If yes very cool... if not still cool. How's that for a regressive high school girl response?

Honestly, it looks very impressive, even if I have no idea what anything in the engine is for.

The car looks great! As do Abby and Gus.

Very cool! I know if it came in a convertible version my DH would be in line waiting for one.

As it is --- he's stuck with Mustang unless Camaro comes out with a rag-top later on.

Cute pup shots too!
