Today we picked up his Jake’s new wheels. For the past two years, Jake’s been driving an older model Ford Focus. It wasn’t beautiful, but it was functional and has served our family well. The AC on the Focus went last spring, which makes driving it untenable. When you combine the AC issues with the electrical system issues, it was time for Jake to get a new car.
Thankfully for Jake, his Uncle Jon has been keeping an eye out for deals at his work. This was a complete godsend for Jake and us. Once we got back from Norway, he was able to locate a couple of Mini Coopers that would be perfect or Jake. My brother is a car expert. Much like my dad, he loves cars and knows everything about them. There is nobody better than Jon to find the perfect car for Jake.
Today was the day, Jake got to pick up his wheels. It was hard for us to tell who was more excited about the car Jake or Jon. It was a toss up. Uncle Jon took him through the controls on the car, so he’d know how everything worked. Hubby was sending me pics throughout, so I could see the joyous moment.
Jake was ready to give me a ride in his new car as soon as I got home from work. The car is gorgeous black on black with all the bells and whistles. The car oozes performance and style. Needless to say, it is a pretty big upgrade from the Focus. Sadly, my Prius now looks a little less sexy in the driveway next to his new mini.
Jake’s been close with Uncle Jon since he was born and it shows in the pictures. Jake and Jon have a great relationship. Their relationship has evolved over the years from exploring airplanes and sharing ice cream cones to playing adult league hockey and exploring Europe together. While Jake is exceptionally lucky to get this great vehicle, he is even luckier to have aunts and uncles that have always championed him and always been there for him.
