Busted : Getting caught trying to "Proud Own" Buttercup

Got Caught Proud- Owning a 1950 Chevy Deluxe Named Buttercup

So there we are, proud-owning other people's cars as usual.  
Until today, we had never been caught. We're not sneaky, just fast.  
We were driving up North Williams Street today when I noticed a beautiful butter-yellow 1950 Chevy Deluxe parked on the side of the road.  I told Josh to turn around and lets go proud own that car!  We turned around and parked a few cars behind it on the street.  I took two shots of Josh standing in front of the car.
Then two people walked up behind me, a woman's voice saying "Will you send us the photo?".  I turn around to see the lovely couple walking towards the car, and me.  She then proceeded to tell me that her (the car) name is Buttercup, and that she and her husband were celebrating their anniversary this evening.  Then asked us if we'd like to get in the car and have our photo taken with it.  How could we resist..?!  Oh my goodness, thanks so much!  
These are the Real Proud Owners of this car.

Below is the closest we've been to proud owning one of the sweetest cars in Portland.

Phantom of The Aqua (AKA Lilly) has been beached for several months now after it was abandoned by the owner during hurricane Nate in 2017.  This 45 foot long Sailboat has become a tourist attraction on Miramar Beach and no one seems to mind it's presence.  Though we all wonder how long it will stay... Click here to see the original story about how the boat washed ashore. I contacted the owner of the boat, Captain John Hale to get an update.  Here's what he had to say: "Weeks ago when things were totally different then they are now, and the local help turned out to not be enough to be able to save Lilly and the experts/professionals wanted more then I had at the time, it was decided then that the best option for Lilly was to sign her over to someone with the means to save her. Lots of people were offering to take her off my hands and I decided on a local friend who was, and still is super excited about saving her. He has already begun the ...

Tonight, I will be featuring my printed  Portrait Portfolio  for the first time ever.  Along with that, I will be displaying larger black and white still prints of the Holy Rollers Cult Film previously known as "Story Of Hurt" and now called " How The Fire Fell ". By my side will be " The Father ", featuring his new album "Regards": A collection of songs written over the course of nine years. A demanding vocal performance with heavy use of symbolism and the word "and". There's nothing funny about this music.  It's soft, then brutal and terrifying, then soft again, and sometimes a melody that you can't help but move to.  You're probably going to cringe and cry and fall in love all at the same time.  It's a really great feeling. Genre: Post-Blues-Alternative See you there! *formally known as 'Story of Hurt'* Trailer for How the Fire Fell, the first feature film from Edward P. Davee. ...
