I voted for Allyson!
It's funny about brand loyalty, really. My parents were Ford people, but I married into a Chevy family, so we've had all Chevys, definitely stemming from Big Blue, the Impala of death. Loved that machine.
Here's your incidental racism tidbit for the day: When I was growing up in Ohio, people used to assume that we, as a Japanese family, would buy Japanese cars (that's how we were taking over the world at the time, as you recall). But my dad worked in steel; of course he bought American cars, he supplied the parts to them. This was a source of endless amusement to people, but was just befuddling to me.
Between the Mercedes and the BMW I'm a convert to the German sport sedans. I now have a strong preference for BMW. Over the years I've owned a 1987 VW Scirocco, 1988 Toyota Pickup, 1990 Pontiac Grand AM, 1993 Chevy Full Size Blazer, 1995 Ford Thunderbird, 1996 Ford Bronco, 1997 Jeep Wrangler, 2002 Jeep Liberty, 2004 Ford Escape Hybrid, 2005 MercedesC230, 2007 BMW 335i, 1993 Mazda Miata, 1967 Jeep Wagoneer, and a 1970 Triumph Spitfire.
Guess what? Gothic Charm School is now on YouTube! [link]
Genius! Five star rating. But sadly it is only a matter of minutes now before Jilli becomes a major media star and we won't have her to ourselves.
I know!
We'll just have to enjoy her while we can.
I hope she remembers the little people!

If it takes only minutes, then I'm going to be VERY ALARMED, because I'm sitting here in my jammies drinking tea.
(Pete's response was "You can't have her, she's mine.")
