happy birthday swift!
It was a mere 12 months ago that she was born. Or should I say 'adopted'. Brought into the family. And was she ever a beaute! Beautiful, bright, sparkling eyes; silky smooth exterior; clean emissions; healthy sheen. That's my Swift!

Man alive! I always knew that cars were somehow out to ruin us! Somehow dirty public transit doesn't seem so bad, eh?
Happy birthday, Swift!
Hi matt! Oh the random blog chains... not really sure how I ended up here. A friend of a friend of a friend I think, in my procrastination from schoolwork. Have a good day!
