any attempt to remove my brother's late sixties Rolls Royce from his possession will likely result in body parts
I think most pre-oil crisis cars get a certain amount of grandfathering. I'd love an early 60s T-bird and they are not small cars.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My definition of large car changed when I realized how very few station wagons are out there and that, consequently, I needed to size up the smaller SUVs alongside of them.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Damn, erika... Just damn.
I feel like hell and am crawling into a bubble bath and then bed. I suspect the year will end no matter, and I will prefer to start 2005 without being sick.
Happy New Year's!

If I only had a brain...
Of course, the upholstery never really recovered from the great bean salad disaster of '85.
Tell me about it. Following the Great Claret Disaster of '04, I expect my burgundy Scion to have a color-coordinated smell from here forward.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Burrell, I've always had an odd soft spot for the Subaru Forester. They get superb mileage, they hold things and people, and they're very nicely proportioned.
Nic used to drive a Toyota mid-serventies longframe Land Cruiser. Thing is, he also carried a full PA system around in it. People who seriously need to haul stuff for their gigs, I totally grok the SUV thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I loved my last car. A Chevy Cavalier station wagon, 1990 vintage. Not sexy, but she moved all my stuff about twenty times over ten years and three states, and she never let me down. She had over 200,000 miles on her when I was finally convinced to sell her, and I never had anything more major done than replacing the alternator once. Dang. I want that car back.

I'm not sure where small trucks fit on the giant car spectrum. My Nissan Frontier gets pretty good mileage, and I like being able to haul things. Plus, they are cheap. I've driven this same basic truck for 17 years--11 years for the first one and six for this one.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I have lived in Arizona long enough I'm starting to want a truck, just to have a truck.
In other news, I am not drunk enough yet to be properly appreciative of Daniel's news that William Shatner is on TV, singing. And that people are having fun watching the performance. Not nearly drunk enough.

He is, in fact, singing "Last Dance."
