Katy, rest easy in your joy of having your beautiful car. Your heavenly Father LOVES to see you enjoy His creation. As a father myself, I smile from ear to ear to hear my precious daughter share her excitement with something meaningful to her. I may not get it, but the Father does. She is precious to me, and you are precious to Him. Enjoy But consider a 1965 Pontiac GTO! Now THAT'S a gorgeous car!
