New (to us) car

We got a "new" car last night. Jim's current work car is just waiting to die. We've known for sometime that it is burning oil and it's time is limited. So when we knew of friends who were selling their car we took them up on a generous price at which to buy it. This "new" car is older than Jim's current car, but has far less miles and has been kept in immaculate condition. We feel like we are making a big upgrade. Here are the guys hamming it up (hmmmm, wonder where our kids get it from) as they are passing off the title.
The only 2 owners of this car:

It has a little wear & tear on the outside, which I would expect after 15 years.
It's about double in size of Jim's current car.
The biggest adjustment is that it is a stick sift. We both know how to drive a stick, but it's been many years since we've owned and consistently driven a car like this. It'll take a little adjusting to.
We look forward to many more years & memories in this "new" car. Every car we've owned comes with it's own little story and we take it on many new adventures. We'll make no exception for this car!
