The two cars I’ve owned had only two doors. Since it was just me, I never needed a car with four doors.
Even that one extremely cold night in college when the girls and I decided…
- Yes, we needed to go to that frat party.
- Yes, all nine of us.
- No, we weren’t going to walk even though it was less than a mile.
Don’t judge. It was all uphill, a little snowy, unwalkable in heels, and no one looks cute bundled up in winter gear. Also…
- No, we couldn’t take two cars.
So all nine of us piled into my Ford Probe. Which was a less cool version of this one this exact one.
How do you get 9 people in that car? Easy: 1 driver, 2 in the passenger seat, 5 in the backseat, and 1 in the trunk.
Alas, those days are long gone. Strapping a baby into a carseat in the back of a two-door with one tween and one teen (who is now taller than me) seemed like a no go.
So Kiefer and I bought a grown-up SUV.
Or so I thought. My grown-up car has mood lighting.
How To Get In Someone’s Pants: Use blue mood lighting.
I may have just bought every 16-year-old boy’s dream car.
I’m totally going to get some.

Congratulations!!!!! Oh my gosh! I’m the loser who never exported all of her blogs from Google Reader, so I lost track of everyone I followed
I’m trying to build it back up through old emails and Facebook, but I totally missed the announcement that you’re having a baby! I’m so happy for you 🙂 That kid is going to be so lucky… Poptarts for breakfast every morning!!

You’ve had your hands full with the twinsies! One of your twins’ names is in the running for our daughter, but I’m not saying which one.

Isn’t that how you got into this predicament in the first place? I hear the backseat of a Honda is very comfy. Not that I would know myself. I’ve just HEARD it. From people. No, really. Shut up!

Only two teenagers could crawl in and out of the back of my Honda and still be in the mood enough to have sex.
I feel like I know so much more about you now.
February 11th, 2014 at 9:29 am
Mood lighting??? Alright, alright, alright that’s nice. Nice car, but ummm are you sure you didn’t kidnap someone and placed them in the trunk? Lol
February 12th, 2014 at 7:52 am
Nope. She hopped in the trunk willing. She probably had more room than the rest of us.
February 11th, 2014 at 10:14 am
Oooh, I’m totally refitting my lights with blue “mood” bulbs. I’ll let you know how it works out…
Oh, and please tell me you didn’t forget about the girl in the trunk… like, for a day or two…
February 12th, 2014 at 7:39 am
Nope. If we had, she’d have been frozen, and I would be blogging from prison. I went to school some place very cold.

Haha!
But, with all of those kids in the house now, your car might actually be the most romantic and private spot you’ve got. You better start scouting out where your make-out point is going to be.
Also, I’m glad to see you understand the three cardinal rules of frat parties in the northeast: (1) never arrive with less than 8 girls; (2) always wear the most irresponsible shoes in your closet, and (3) don’t wear your black pea coat unless you you never want to see it again.

But that would mean leaving Boo and Radley alone with the baby…and they seem to think they don’t have to change diapers, so we’ll have to find some place very close by. Maybe the garage.

Ooooo. How romantic. I agree with PinotNinja above. Does it have butt warmers as well? That may enhance the lovemaking that will be going in there. 🙂
February 12th, 2014 at 7:49 am
No buttwarmers. But currently, my butt is pretty warm and insulated.

Get some. Oh yeah, that is why everyone gets a car 😉

It’s the only reason we have a car.
February 12th, 2014 at 8:09 am
You only got one person in the trunk? You couldn’t stack them?

I got the stink eye the entire time I was putting gas in my own SUV at the gas station last night from someone who was clearly a new SUV driver. She didn’t realize that there was about 6 feet between the front of our cars and let the glares fly because she thought she couldn’t pump her gas. Hope it wasn’t you!!
