So my parents have borrowed my car.
I took them both up in the hills last weekend on an absolutely lovely day. They loved the views and the car. We ended our day by taking pictures of us with the car. My dad and I put on our yellow shirts to match the yellow car. My mom liked the yellow seatbelts. All these pictures were posted on Facebook. My mom’s profile picture is her in the car with the seatbelt on.
They could hardly believe that I would loan them the car so they could visit their friends in Fresno, but I really wanted them to do this. They had a blast. They did get a lot of comments, and one young couple was laughing at my mom as she learned how to operate the car’s manual transmission at a roadside parking lot. Upon her return, she proudly announced that she didn’t stall the car once – dad had three times.
I think my parents are already eager to come back next year and take the car out again. I may be seeing them more often.
