Yesterday's post posed the question of whether or not I'd ever get to ride in that Trans Am.
Sadly, the answer is no. He only worked with me for a couple months before he got rear ended and it totalled the car. (rear ended is not a euphemism, pervs. why are you all so pervy?)
So instead of getting to ride in that, I had to settle for his next ride.

such a sacrifice. (not the actual car, but again, close!)
Anycar, after his first car was totalled and his best friend walked out on us at work, we continued to grow closer in friendship.
At school we searched each other out in the morning and at work, well...we pretty much worked with each other every stinkin' night and all weekend, every weekend.
I went to his 17th birthday party, which was a surprise party, and bought him the very first gift I would ever give him. Ready for it?
Come on. What did you expect? We were eternally bound by our love of 80's muscle cars and hair bands! And it was '94 by this time...Bon Jovi had just come out with Always.
Don't. You. Judge.
Over the next 10 months or so we became close friends. I was sad to graduate high school because we had so much fun together and I knew that once I graduated things were going to be different. Even though he is only 6 months younger than me, it was enough to put him a year behind me in school.
I was planning on working at the same crap hole and going to college in the fall.
But first, my friend and I were leaving to go to Disneyland. We were going on a "woohoo, we're done with high school and movin' on!" vacation. We weren't goin' with no stinkin' Senior Class Trip, either.
So right when I was feeling the closest to my 80's flashback friend, I was leaving.
How sad!
How would he live without me?

And now an Iroc... way cool! Nothing wrong with hair bands and muscle cars. My oldest daughter was conceived in a '69 Camaro.
She liked to build model cars and she and I were standing at Hellmart looking over all the models kits. I gasped! "OOOH EdithAnne!! Here, build this one!!"
"Why?"
"This the same model car you were conceived in!"
"MOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!"
He will love you for Always :) Not judgment here, I had Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Montley Crue and Poison plastered all over my walls!
Do they even make those cars anymore?! :o)
Okay...I could never make fun of you for liking Bon Jovi. Besides being a kickass artist, he's pretty freakin' HOT, too! :o)
I'm sure I've told you this before, but you're an awesome storyteller. I feel like I'm getting a 5-minute soap opera every day. :o)
ah Bon Jovi. be still my heart :)
You've come a long way baby. Trans-Am to Iroc-Z and now mini-van. Must be crushing! LoL
Oh my! You're a cradle robber!!!! Will you ever see him again???
The Mimi Chronicles....oh the good old days.
I can see the leg warmers now. Not judging, not judging.
Seriously if you don't like Always we can't be friends.
I'll totally judge over a Bon Jovi album as a gift. And the judgment is . . . you are clearly the best gift buyer EVER. We have a rule in our house that if Bon Jovi is on the radio NO ONE is allowed to change the station.
I had that CD- well have it as I still do :) Love it!
And yes, what is going to happen now that you are going to be kind of separated??
Did you cry?
I'm very sad about the car.
How WOULD he live without you?
This Romeo is bleedin......
Oh my gosh....this Always video is kind of naughty.
Oh I always wondered who bought my husband's CDs. Thank you so much! I will let him know the next time we are spooning.

bon Jovi rocks baby
Don't you love how dramatic all the love stuff is when you are young, but how goofy it sounds when you explain it as a bonafide adult? I was such a jackass as a teenager!
Ahhhh...back in the day!
I wanted and IRoc SOOOO bad. By the time I turned 16, I got...well...heh...I'm not even going to say. It had 4 wheels and ran. Or more like crawled, but it was a car. *eyeroll*
Great choice for a birthday present! Ok, I have to read the next post. These cliffhangers are killing me!
No judging here. I am loving this!!!
