Me and my Cars

Post by Jenbowes »

So, some people know that I drive the fish stickered Geo Metro. But here's what my previous car looked like:

Just thought I'd share! :biggrin:

If you're referring to the green plaid car, that was the first paint job of this one. I redid it with the purple.

Unless there's ANOTHER plaid car?! That would be cool!

Ive been considering a wild paint job on my maxima for sometime now. Maybe you and I could brainstorm together. Maybe during a long surface swim.

Well, I don't have a super recent picture of Bubbles, and I'm currently having trouble figuring out how to get the pics I do have to shrink down to fit. I'm kind of a computer nimrod, in some ways. :computersmash:
I'll keep trying...

I am WAY down for that!

Her name is Bubbles, you know. Humorously enough, she got the decorations well before I even decided to become dive certified. Now, it fits nicely, don't you think?

Nope, an '80 Toyota Corolla. Or, Crayola, as I liked to call him (His name was John Darling). I'm not sure he was ever a sweet ride, but I liked him!

Sent. I also managed to get it into my photo gallery here, but now I don't know how to post it in a thread. Geez.

Ironically, some people would miss me entirely! I think I was an SEP (Someone Elses Problem). Other times, on the highway, people would give me an enthusiastic thumbs up ... then point to my car, just in case I wasn't sure why they were givin' the woot woot.

"Thumbs up? Hmm. Do you like my hair, or...? OH! The CAR! Right!"

Cracked me up!

JB? Did kids ever tease you for your last name? Jen Bozo? Cause if they haven't... I'm totally going to start.

So you've got a bonafied Art Car it seems. Maybe you can teach the class described in the pdf at the bottom of that page? It's really in to have people call you professor.

I once saw a 5 1/4 floppy disk car in Ballard. I wonder what sort of art I could put on my truck to stop it from rusting away.

Not me ... my brother was Bozo. Since I was 18, I've been Jenbowes (like one word), because there were so many Jennifers in my age group, we had to be distinguished somehow (popular name in 1970).
