Did I mention that Stella lost a 'hubcap?' I don't think I did. Yeah one night we were driving around downtown (I think it was 4th of July) and we heard an awful noise while turning onto a side street. We chalked this up to driving over a sewer cap (silly rabbit) but in hindsight I'm pretty sure that was the moment we lost it. We're currently contemplating the pros vs. cons of buying a single replacement hubcap to a new set of four with some of the remaining money in the Vette fund.
Oh and she's filthy again. Haven't washed her since we moved in and I can't show her off around town until she's looking her best. ;)

Welcome Home
My husband and I recently bought a house after living for almost a decade apartment-to-apartment. We had a very short list of must-haves when it came to house-hunting, but one thing we knew we wanted was a third garage space for Stella.
I've got to hand it to this car. She stuck it through for a year sleeping under a tarp in the driving rain and wind. She spent the winter months in a stranger's one-car garage which she shared with a motorcycle, tools and various lawn equipment. Constantly exposed to the elements, she grew filthy quite often, and received tow threats from our apartment management for having leaky fluids.
It was a difficult year. I've always wanted an old Stingray like Stella, but it was always with the thought in mind that I'd have a safe place to store it. As it happens, I found Stella before I found my house, but I guess all is well that ends well. I can't say enough how happy it makes me to have a home for her now, where the passage of time won't take quite as large of a toll on her as it did outdoors.
I think she likes it. :)
