Show and Tell Friday

I thought awhile about whether I should share this here or not because I'm sure some of you are going to think I'm absolutely crazy!  You may remember I  bought a new-to-me car in January and shared it on Show and Tell.  I loved that car but my dream car has always been a Jaguar.  I even cut a Jag out of a magazine to put on my inspiration board, right next to my cute little dream house with the white picket fence! (Yep, I read and follow The Secret and it works)

Well, a funny thing happened...my credit union sent me a key in the mail and said come to our Tent Event and see if your key unlocks the Mercedes and if so, you win! Well, I think I mentioned years ago on my blog that I actually did win a car before by having the lucky key so I thought maybe, just maybe, it will happen again!  Anyway, I figured I would go to this tent sale early on a Saturday morning and try my key. When I got there I had to walk past all the cars they were selling to get to the place for a chance to win the Mercedes.  I walked past this Jag and fell in love!  The salesgirl asked if I wanted to test drive it and I said "sure"!  Honestly...I had no intention what-so-ever of buying it, I just thought it would be fun to drive it! haha...well the rest is history!

I'm now the VERY PROUD owner of my dream car!  I must say, I have never done anything like this...I never purchase cars on the spur of the moment.  Every car I've ever had in the past, I've had for 9 or 10 years...until the cost of repairs were greater than the car's worth!  I think this was just meant to be...It's a 2003 (which made it affordable for me) but it only had 42,000 miles on it and it's in perfect condition!  Now I just need to get my personalized license plates transferred over.
