Link up with Stasha at The good life for Monday Listicles. It's a different topic every week - follow along and join in. Stasha's a great host and always has interesting things for us to make our lists about.
Upon the demise of Stasha's beloved mini-van, and it's impending replacement (which has not been an easy decision), she has picked this week's topic: 10 Things About My Car.
I'm not really much of a car girl. Oh sure, there are a few I'd love to have if I had some disposable income laying around, but I could never and would never spend and enormous amount of money on a car when there are other things I could or should buy.
Anyradiator, I'm not a car girl. As long as it looks decent (okay, I'm a little picky) and is reliable, I'm all in. Even better, my current vehicle gets fantastic gas mileage, which kinda rocks my yucky commute. And really, that's the reason we bought it.
So here are 10 thing about Hubs' muscle car that inhabits our garage:
1. It is a convertible Chevelle and was made in 1969 by Chevrolet.
2. It's red.
3. It is not allowed to be driven in the rain.
4. It is required to have a space in the two car garage. Ahem. That means two cars are in the driveway.
5. It is required to wear a car cover while in the garage.
6. Sometimes empty cardboard boxes get stored on the car cover, on the car, in the garage. Hubs is not always happy about this. But you never know when you might need an empty cardboard box.
7. We sometimes hide The Boy's Christmas or birthday presents in the car, under the car cover, in the garage.
8. I drove it once. In the neighborhood.
9. When he starts the car, it stinks up my garage and I don't allow anyone to open the door between the garage and the house. I lock 'em out and make 'em use the front door. It's just a minor 'thing' I have about carbon monoxide poisoning. Or stink poisoning.
10. When he talks of selling it, I say no. I know he loves it. He's always loved these cars. But if he wanted to sell it and buy a 1969 Camaro to replace it, I'd consider it.

Men and their cars! My Dad had a sooped up 57 Ford. I wrecked it. Dad honestly looked like a lost puppy. I felt so badly...
Ahh man sweet ride but I am with you on the 69 lol good year, my birth year actually.
That is one sweet ride. Stinky and all. But I keep thinking about your hair getting tangled up in the wind...
Funny how men are alike about their "toys" - we own a motorcycle that I haven't seen driven in five years because it is lovingly taken care of, but just the mere mention of its screws can result in an hour-long discussion!
It is purdy!! Irishman has a 65 Chevelle. I believe we've chatted about this before. I would super love having an old Camero. And much like you, I've talked Irishman down from the sell or set fire ledge while he's been restoring it. Having an restoring a muscle car is absolutely a love hate relationship!

Oh man... My comment got eaten.
Irishman has a 65 Chevelle :)
I can't believe my comment got eaten. I'm heart broken
That is indeed a sweet ride and a nice part of American history.
My husband used to have a 69 corvette convertible. It was cool looking but I hated driving it, so hard without power steering and brakes! Also, it really wasn't that comfy. We don't have it anymore. Great idea to hide gifts in there ;)
Such a pretty car and I like it's multi-purpose usages, especially the Christmas gift hider!
awesome car! and great hiding place for the presents!
My first car was a red 1969 Chevy Camaro! My parents were the original owners. Ellen
That is one sweet ride...and red of all colors. That is a pretty great hiding place for presents, too, let's hope your son never figures it out!
What a beautiful car! I can imagine the stink that it leaves when it starts, those beauties burn rich. I am totally with you on the '69 Camaro, they are one of my favourites.
What an awesome car! My brother-in-law feels the same way about his car. I don't think my sister has ever driven it. ha. I rode in it...once.
That's a great car. I can so relate to the love a guy has for his car. My hubby used to have a Nissan Z car with T-tops. He loved that thing and babied it. But he wanted a motorcycle more and ended up selling it... it ended up getting crushed by a tree after one of the hurricanes. He was not happy to heat that!
Awesome idea to hide Christmas presents in the car!
I'm not a car person at all so it's hard for me to think I would ever get up a coveted garage spot to something that didn't go in and out all the time. But it is a cutie!
My husband would go gaga over this car! Ouuuu...I'd be all over a '69 Camaro too! :D
I want your husbands car! Seriously!
I'm not a car girl at all and neither is my Babe... I've never understood cars that sit in the garage really. BUt I have a feeling we are in the minority on this one!
