Eleanor

I’m in love. She is sexy, smart, slender and 4 years old. I have tossed around several names including Cherry and Red but settled on Eleanor. Eleanor was the name of the coveted Shelby GT 500 in the movie “Gone in Sixty Seconds” and is now the name of my red Infiniti G35.

After 8 years I traded in my civic. That car was reliable, fast/zippy and served me well. It was also a safe bet. But I realized that safe only gets you so far, sometimes you have to take a chance. I made a tough, rash decision and I couldn’t be happier. Mike will claim it was because of him but it has been an obsession of mine for a while.

She is my new toy and I love her. She is a bit pricey and she gets thirsty but she loves to run.

Meet Eleanor……
