Baby You Can Drive My Car

We picked up my new car on Thursday, and I am lovin' it. I wasn't expecting to say goodbye to my car when I did -- but it seems the fender bender on December 23 caused more damage than the old girl was worth.

Lucky for me and for my family, the Universe came through big time with a new Volvo XC station wagon. When I say new, I mean 2008 -- yup, it's 10 years old -- but it's new to me, and it causes the internal jukebox to play sweet songs like this one as I happily drive down the snowy streets of Madison:

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can't you see
I want to be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you

My mini-me taking the wheel

I told a girl that my prospects were good
And she said baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told a girl I can start right away
And she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

This song is appropriate in more ways than one since my youngest child can indeed now drive my car...
