Number 28


Yes Folks, the Lee family has purchased another vehicle. And, yes this would bring us to our 28th vehicle. After much contemplation, I have come to the conclusion that we have a serious problem. It's not like we're Jay Leno here we don't have tons of money and as much as we would love to collect cars; I have decided that I think we just like to test drive for a year or so. In the corner of the picture you can see the bumper of #25. We have amazingly enough licensed that car three times now and it is almost paid for.

I'm really just writting this because it is such a joke in our family that we have gone through so many cars, but none of us knew how many until Kenny and I sat down the other night and wrote them all down and added them up. We could actually still rememer each car, it's make and model, year, and color. we could even remember if they were sold, used as a trade in, and one was even paid off. We actually kept one car long enough to pay it off. It's amazing I know, I mean, who does that?

Now, for those of you that are curious and wondering how we could manage to average almost 2 new cars for every year we have been married, I will list them here for you. This will include all cars that we have had in our possession whether we took them in as homeless cars or if it was a car that was given (or lent) to us so that I could have a car to get the kids to and from school.

Without further introduction and just for grins and giggles (drum roll please), our cars:

1. 1976 Ford F150 (blue); 2. 1983 Chevy s-10 Blazer (red); 3. 1981 Plymouth TC3 (red); 4. 1989 Pontiac Grand Am (gold); 5. 1990 Pontiac Grand Am (blue); 6. 1987 Ford Mustang GT (Gray); 7. 1995 Geo Prism (green); 8. 1975 Chevy Stepside Pickup (this one I don't remember the color, I think it had a couple colors); 9. 1997 Pontiac Grand Am (green); 10. 1964 Pontaic GrandPrix (pruple); 11. 1976 Chevy Blazer (Black); 12. 1984 Dodge Ram Charger (white); 13. 1982 Chevy Caprice Classic (white); 14. 1994 Ford Taurus SHO (red); 15. 2000 Pontaic Montana (white); 16. 1994 Chevy Suburban (Brown); 17. 1998 Suzuki Bandit (black); 18. 1998 Chevy Malibu (white, thank you Mom); 19. 2002 Plymouth PT Cruiser (gray); 20. 1990 Buick (gold, thank you Erin and Ryan); 21. 2001 Subaru Outback (green); 22. 2002 Subaru Outback Sport (gray); 23. 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 (red); 24. 2004 Subaru WRX (Siver); 25. 2007 Subaru Legacy (blue); 26. 2005 Chrysler Town and Country (gold); 27. 2008 Subaru Tribeca (gray); 28. 2007 Ford Expediton (We're still fighting over the color, but Kenny insists it is Burgandy).

Does anyone out there know if there is professional help out there for people like us? Or, if you have enjoyed the entertainment over the past 16 years, please don't tell us and I'm sure we will start working on number 29 anytime now :)
