Shiny new car........

Looking back at pictures today I ran across this one. Our driveway is long and there are a few places where the snow drifts and it's hard to maneuver through. I never gave it a second thought when I left for work on these mornings, I was driving my Expedition. She is a trooper through snow and just like a FORD she would always get me to work on time.
This Fall I purchased a new vehicle. I drove my Expedition for 16.5 years and she is a jewell. Never really had any trouble from her. She ran like a dream and still does. On occasion she would need some work but Thomas could always repair her. The life of a car is how you take care of them, is what Daddy always said. He would wash his vehicle every week, polish them and pull it back in the garage whether they needed cleaned or not. Never drive through mud, water puddles or dirt roads. These are the things I recall Daddy saying when I started driving.
Looking at this picture I wonder how I will maneuver down the driveway with my new car, she does set low to the ground and I sure don't want her to get dirty. Maybe on days like this I will uncover my clean, shiny Expedition and make a path just like the old days.
