30th bday present

Well my 30th is at the end of Aug and my wife wanted to do a little something special for me. She realizes how much I love my car, just like the rest of you fellow members. She kept on telling me to take pictures of my car so I figured a giant lifesize picture would be on the way. Well I was right and wrong. Any Warhol fans out there? Enjoy if you want- some may like it more than others. I personally thought it to be very thoughtful and an amazing piece of work. This is the only size pic I could post, but the actual dimensions are closer to 42" x 30" This is actually my car and this picture is copyrighted and can never be duplicated by these companies which makes it a one off. Very special indeed.

By the by, my car is actually RR. I love how they included the actual color of the car in one of the frames. I can't wait to get it. It's going right over my bed. Talk about eye candy when walking into your room.

What's kind of funny in our relationship is that the car is such a love hate relationship between us. When it comes down to it though, she understands everything and just wants me to be happy. Could you ask for anything more?

This is actually a printed stretched canvas- not just a poster. Lots of time invested by the artists/programmers.

Wow that is cool. Not really my type of art but it does still look cool. You definitely got a keeper there with your girl.

My wife knowing I loved the Evo got me a remote control one last year for my birthday. This year she was going to get me an expensive die cast model of an Evo. But then I found one that was within my price range and she allowed me to get a real Evo. Of course she had to drive it too, and she loves it. Well she did until the Evo’s suspension caused the seat to undo her bra on the way to work one day. To explain the road here can be pretty bumpy in the Evo and she is kind of heavy in the bra area. Needless to say things got to bouncing a bit much and the bra could no longer hold them back .

Anyway happy birthday and keep that girl she sounds very cool. The really good ones are hard to find.
