This is Casper Elizabeth Newman and she is the daughter of a young man I know who is a single father with weekend custody of "Cas." How about that gorgeous, curly red hair, huh? :=)

Cas was visiting because her dad picked up a previously-owned, 2012 Chevy Silverado about ten days ago and it is his first "serious" vehicle purchase. "Newman" is also nearly totally void of vehicle mechanical knowledge and how to properly maintain one but it's not surprising.

Very much in his defense was that he grew up with an atypical mother who was passionate about such things as surfing, scuba, skydiving, rock climbing, motorcycle riding and that's not even the full list. I was blown away when he told me about her. "Cars" were just not in her wheelhouse so Newman, (given name, Stephen, which I prefer but he doesn't, (smile) never had the interest in them either.

BUT, now he does. (grin)

So, when he showed me the new purchase the first time a week or so back, after looking the new girl over, I offered to detail the truck, with his help, if he was interested. He was and yesterday was the date.
