It's good to be Ben

Although somewhat delayed, it's still a significant milestone...maybe even more so,,knowing he is ready...

Ben got his Driver's License in September, so Grandma bought him a used car as a graduation present {and Mommy gets to give him the gift that keeps on giving,,,,car insurance :-)

We went to our insurance agent,,,,,picked up his insurance cards, waited at DMV for 2.5 hours to register the car (and pay the fees & sales tax - UGH),,,then off to pick up the car,,,she's a beauty......

I drove it home since it was getting dark and we were unfamiliar with the route,,,the whole way,,, Ben finding an opportunity to say 'my car' in every sentence.... having fun discovering the controls (and getting irritated by the navigation voice!).  He's so excited to have a car of his own and a Lexus to boot,,,,,It's good to be Ben,,,,,Having a grandmother who's a car lover (the first car she gave me was an Audi - my first and only luxury car :-)

So, So happy for him!!!!

Love the photo of his reflection taken while he is putting on his License plate - so serious! Love it!!!

Be Safe\Enjoy!

You have a very generous grandmother! Giving cars as a gift! WOW! The feeling is really different when you say “my” car, as it shows possession. Value and take care of your car because it’s your own car now. Don’t do anything that will damage your car or scratch the paint. By the way, you should post a picture of your luxury car too. Stay safe out there!
