On the road.....again

I've never been much of a car person.
A car is a car is a car (exception being the Smart car which I have loved for years). Several years ago my husband started talking about Scions. I took a look online and thought it was interesting. None were available in Az at the time so we couldn't go to a dealership to take a closer look.
As luck would have it, we had to go to CA for a car event and I spent some "quality time" with several Scions.
Since my car was on it's last legs, I decided to get a Scion. My husband was thrilled.

To personalize "my car" he had Ghost flames painted on the front end. Not too obvious, I could live with this. After the paint job, I got revved at by teens. Interesting for a grandma. Little things started being done over time. It was lowered and finally airbags were installed. At that point, I turned the car over to DH and got a car that no one would want to modify.

Tomorrow we are on our way to NV with "the star". It was selected to be a part of an upcoming Scion ad campaign along with quite a few other Scions. Toyota/Scion is taking care of the arrangements and it should be a lot of fun. Who would have thought that I would be spending time at a lovely resort thanks to my old car. Thank you DH and Toyota/Scion for a wonderful new experience.
