Default Step1: Purchase Auto for Baby transport - COMPLETE

I'm one step closer to having a financial burden in the form of a small replica of myself. After a month of car shopping Vanessa and I settled on a Volvo V50 (w/ turbo ) wagon. While Vanessa wanted it for hauling around offspring, I wanted it because it's just pure sex. I know, I know...Volvo right? I went to the dealership just because we were visiting EVERY dealership. I never thought I'd actually go in there and buy one. But I'll be damned if I didn't. The car is just ridiculous. Honestly, it's the only car (From Toyota to Lexus, BMW to Mercedes, etc) that I sat in and said, damn, I love this car and everything about it. For the money, this car is just packed with features and the build quality it fuckin' tits. Well, enough blabberin' here are some pics of the Adams' cars.

...and here's a pic of myself for everyone who has forgotten what the hell I look like. Gotta rock the mullet.

Alberto: Not if I can fuckin' help it. I'm taking hot baths, wearing tight undies, and running into door knobs. This wagon's got me scared. Everyone around me is poppin' 'em out, I just ain't ready yet. I still need to travel!!!

Those are great cars. Suzy's Mazda 3 5-door shares the same platform as the V50...handles like a champ. Have fun with it!

Don't expect to do too many auto-x moves with a newborn. Good luck with everything.
