This is my entry for the Prompt Stomp Week 10 Challenge. I hope you enjoy my selection.
This first photo is of me roughly 35 years ago with my first car a Mercury Bobcat (Ford version was Pinto). I actually had that car nearly 20 years and her name was Bobbie. Okay the name wasn’t too unusual considering she was a Bobcat. I had nearly 500,000 miles on it.
Qi (energy) hugs,

The last photo jumped at me, I really like it. Nice entry for Prompt Storm.

You and Bobbie were adorable! And that last photo is awesome. You’ve got a talent for capturing old cars and editing the photos so they’re just right.

There was a while a few years back we went to a lot of car shows. We don’t go so much anymore because they are in the hottest season and I am very sensitive to heat.

Wow on your car! We had a Pinto that my brother drove until he put it in the ditch one too many times. I think he put every car we had in the ditch at one time or the other, come to think of it…. 🙂

Wow, 500000 miles! A car I am currently retiring, a Ford Falcon (an Aussie Ford) has 565000 km on the clock. But that’s only about ~350000 miles. Good effort.

That is still a long ways for that kind of car. Thanks Mick for commenting 😀

Interesting effects. I especially like the toning on the old cars in the parking lot. Looks like a pen-and-ink illustration!

These are wonderful photos Cee. I adore your car photos, especially the one of you and your first car. 500,000 miles? You must have taken very good care of her. Thank you for joining in this week! 🙂

I loved that little car for the first 15 years. The last 5 it should have been replaced, but I was cheap and used to no car payments. 😀 Thanks Megan.

You were SO lucky to get a car like that as your first! I had an ancient little Ford Prefect – mind you, I promptly turned it over which didn’t improve it. Those sleek shiners with imposing buttocks do look good.

Nice vintage photo of you and your car, but my vote goes to the last photo. I wonder if those cars were ever that shiny when they were brand new? good job, Cee.
