Didn't West Wing run new episodes already this season?

Yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

serial:

I test drove the TSX, and it turned like a bus

Don't make me cry! I love their specs.

Every time I take my 2000 V6 Jetta into the shop I rent a car for the day. The Beetles don't interest me. The 2006 Jettas actively irritate me. The 2006 Passats leave me cold. The rental guys try to talk the cars up to me, but when I tell them what I drive normally they shrug. The last thing to try is a Tuareg--I have a no-extra-charge rental of one of those due me. But I don't want an SUV.

And I have no reason to think that 2007 will fix things. Not only do I not like the 2006 Jetta engines, I don't like their interiors or how they look.

They must have a different calendar than we do.

I did too! It was a great looking car, came in the color I wanted, the Acura sales and service are awesome (i.e. their service dept is open until 10PM!)But, it had no turning radius. I was heartbroken when it happened. I shrieked.

I love the improved turning radius on my Jetta (over the Accord). Won't mess with that.

You ended up with a Saab, right? I wonder if I should be looking at an Audi. That's so not fair.

If I only had a brain...

Speaking of House, my TiVo didn't pick up the Dec. 20th episode, even though House is the highest priority on my list. *Was* there a Dec. 20th episode? I think God was somehow involved.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Was it the episode about the nun?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That was a rerun of a first season episode, I think. I know there hasn't been a new House for a while.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Didn't West Wing run new episodes already this season?

Did Alessandra Stanley write the blurb?

Yes, I own an xB, and I heart it fiercely. It is the perfect family car -- you can fit anything into it, including two kids and a Christmas tree. Yet it gets respectable gas mileage (30s) and fits into a compact space.

The downside? Not-so-great highway acceleration. Think of it as the VW Microbus for the new century, although not *as* underpowered; unlike the VW, it is possible to drive into a headwind.
