New wheels! And a new couch!

Hi! I finally got a photo of my new Jeep! Well, it's new to me anyway, it's a 2004 and I like it a lot. It's black, with a grey interior, and I'm taking suggestions for names. I always name my cars, it's just something I've done since I got my first car. (a 1973 Chevy Nova, by the way.) I think it was nearly as old as I was, and I know it had once been parts of two different cars that had both been totaled. My Mom's friend had a body shop, junkyard, and etc, and he had his guys make this car for me. reinforced undercarriage, new paint job and all. It had a larger-than-standard engine too. the body said it had a 350 but it actually had a 405! I managed to bust the rings on the pistons, severly dent the oil pan (going over some culvert-bumps in the road, way too fast!) and have my dad's dog lose his lunch (and more) all over the back seat! All that in two years, man those were the days, such fun and yet such hell. It's fun to remember, and laugh at myself as I was then, but I wouldn't want to go back, not for all the eager men in the world. Here's me on my 16th birthday, sitting on the hood of that car:
Those that knew me then will remember the car.
After a long succession of trucks I am now back in a 4-door vehicle. sorry, i just can't call it a car, it would kill something in me. Here's my Jeep:











And now for the new couch, finally! You will notice that it comes complete with a Patrick and a RockApe (also known as Alijah, our friend). well, gotta go get the child in bed if he's to have any hope of learning anything at school tomorrow.
