This weeks theme is "Vintage." As you know, I am a sucker for all things vintage. But especially old hot rods. I love them deeply.
Perhaps the love was formed by my father's stories of his cars back in his younger years. He would regale us kids with stories of how he and his brothers would race on the airstrip behind his childhood home. Or maybe it's because I have a wild side and a hot rod fits in just perfectly with that part of me.
Whatever it is, seeing this car around town stirred up that fire. Let me tell you... it's smokin' hot. Sah-mokin' hot. And it's red, and we all know how I feel about red.
I knew this car was my vintage picture. It's my wild side exposed.
I'd be remiss if I failed to mention my dress. It, too, is true vintage. I bought it at a garage sale when I was thirteen. I've worn it every summer since; it's my favorite piece of clothing. This dress is old, original, and perfect. And it was made for me, and only me.
This car would look so good on me...

oooh I love muscle cars too!
If the SAHM thing doesn't work out, you could always get a job draping yourself over cars for magazines! It looks great on you ;-)
My dad ordered a '73 Mustang convertible when he heard that was the last year they would make convertibles. I drove it in high school (and it's been downhill ever since). I soon learned that I had a 351 Cleveland engine, so I could act like I knew what I was talking about when the boys asked. Boy, I loved that car.
Yes, you and that car (and the dress) make a nice match. :-)
OK, that last picture of you with the car- that could be straight out of a hot rod magazine! And did you notice your hair almost matches the paint color?! I love it! You need to blow that up to poster size and hang it somewhere in your house :)
Wow, look at you! I certainly don't see even a hint of baby weight. For some reason, to my husband's distress, I can't appreciate cars. A car is a car to me but I can say it's nice and shiny. :)
Great picture! I can see that as a gift for Daniel...the picture, not the car. Print it in B/W except the car and your hair.
BTW...how in the world do you do it?? Wearing something from when you were 13!!!
WOW!!!! That second picture is fantastic. It looks like it came off a calender or out of a magazine! Amazing photo!
You're right! That is a smokin hot car! I love muscle cars too. We were a Corvette family though. :)
Love the dress too! Such a pretty color.
Woah! Look at you Hot Momma!!!! :)
Not too much into cars.... but I love your dress!
Alicia
Amazing picture!!!
The car is so you!
It is a great car! My brother in law had a blue one just like that and he cherished it until he sold it. My niece Amanda was born and that was the end of his car. Love the dress by the way!
omg, sooo hott! The car is amazing! and I CAN'T believe you still have that dress! what a treasure :)
Does Daniel have this picture hanging up in the garage? And that dress is fabulous. But fitting into something you've had since you were thirteen? Now THAT is impressive!!!
Gorgeous car and a gorgeous mama - you look great, that's an amazing picture!
Great pictures! I'm drooling over the muscle car!!
Oh, my dad was such a vintage car fanatic. He owned a '76 Trans Am when he was younger. They bought my brother one when he turned 16. Unfortunately they didn't have the money to put into it. It's now sitting in my sister's bfs garage waiting on someone to fix it up. I hope someday we'll be able to, my dad would be so proud.
You + that car = too hot for words.
What a great photo!
It's so classic. You and the car look great!
looks awesome- you've always got great ideas!!
what a great dress!
Megan
you rock the car and the dress (and if you can wear an outfit you were wearing at THIRTEEN you have nothing to complain about! baby fat, my butt)
Hot, hot, hot! You go girl!
Well look at you HOT MAMMA, rocking that dress and the car....way to go :)
You're right, it DOES look good on you! I love that it matches your hair...which is so awesome...I think you might be too cool for me.
I love that you still have that dress and are still wearing it. The picture is great, too. The way the sunlight hits your hair just so... Your man is so lucky!
WE have something in common. I no longer have pics of my first race car..it was a long time ago, but I also did the abandoned air strip racing in FL and Ohio. Here's what my first car looked like ('cept mine was yellow)

It was a dodge Super Bee. I loved that stupid car. My next was a 1978 Olds Cutlass. It was baby blue with a white soft top, white bucket seat interior. It ran the quarter mile in 10.2 and passed everything on the road except the gas station.
Oh the momories!
I just came across your blog tonight. I am an AF wife. I enjoyed reading your blog for a while. We left the base you are at last year.
One more thing we have in common. Hubby and I both LOVE cars... he has a hot rod and I have one that isn't finished. (it will take years at this rate) Love the dress hot momma!
Brittany
Fantastic! That pic of you and the car - the colors are amazing!
