here are a couple more pictures of the PATTYWAGON. if you are wondering why i chose to give this wonderful vehicle such a weird name, here is an explanation...
my name is Patrick, and my nickname since highschool has been "pattycakes" given to me by the girls in my class - and you can't make the girls mad so the name stuck. i've never had an SUV or as some people call them "sport wagons" so we were trying to come up with a funny name for my new baby. one day at work one of my friends suggested "The Hoe Runner" because (according to him) i would have all the "hoes" in my fine new ride. that was funny, but i couldn't picture myself explaining that nickname to my mother or grandparents, so that was out!

out of the blue, i blurted out "PATTYWAGON!" and the name stuck. kinda funny because i bet i'll be the one driving my friends home from a crazy night of drinking, rather than the real pattywagon taking them to jail, we hope! and if one molecule of vomit touches my vehicle, i'll make them wish they had gone to jail with the police! hahhaaha!

this picture was taken the day after i bought her. it had just come in on trade at the dealership i work at and hadn't been cleaned up yet. can you believe that? the previous owners took such great care of it that it still looks like a brand new vehicle. my theory is they buried it in a time capsule and forgot about it till last month and then traded it in. that's good news for me!
