Favorite Things Thursday Link-Up: Dream Car

I am linking up again this week with Miss Melanie to participate in her Favorite Things Thursday.  I missed the last couple of weeks due to the craziness of preparing for, and then being gone to, New York.




This week she has asked us to share our dream car.  Honestly, the car I drive isn't one of the more important aspects of my life, so my choice is very simple.  If I could have any car, I would just want back the car that was totaled in an accident in November of 2009, the day before Thanksgiving, when Connor was only two months old.  It wasn't that the car was fancy, expensive, or special, but it "fit" me and as stupid as it is, I still miss that car just about every day.

So, if I could have any car at this point in life, I would want back my black Mercury Mountaineer.



I know this brand is being phased out, but out of every car I've driven, it was roomy enough, drove wonderfully, and had all the options I wanted/needed.  I suppose at this point there isn't much chance that I'll have another Mountaineer, but it is still my dream car.

Lots of SUV fans linking up to this!

I totaled a car a couple of years ago that I LOVED and I so wish I still had it. I always get sad thinking about it...

:(

Thanks, all! I did love that car, and still miss it, so I know just what you are saying, Amber. :(

Melanie -- I am currently driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee that Jason's parents SO graciously sold to us at a very low cost after we totaled our car. I appreciate them so much, and it isn't that I don't like the car; it runs well, is very nice, and gets me where I need to go. It just isn't the same as my old car.
