Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Kristen and I were reading our horoscopes last night. This was in mine:

Pluto is now at the very top of your chart, shining like a beacon of light and directing the fullness of its rays to your house of career success. Even if scientists have started to refer to Pluto as a dwarf planet, astrologers know that Pluto is one of the most powerful planets of our solar system.

YAY! Stupid scientists and their stupid science.

Chicago and Ohio will get lots o' high-speed rail.

Dude, I would use THE HELL out of a high-speed train like that.

High-speed rail! WANT BULLET TRAIN!

High-speed rail! WANT BULLET TRAIN!

I would settle for adequate public transportation in my city.

But a bullet train would be wicked awesome.

Actually, it'd be fun to put up a website claiming to be a psychic opposed to their plan. Then you could take credit when they fail.

Let's see.... "I oppose 'Faith Of Britain Day', because it will displease the Space Wombat!"....

Are you on FaceBook? You could totally start up a cause for that.

Just do what P-C did, and buy a black cherry Mazda 6.

Ha-ha. Ha ha ha ha.

See, my father's going with me, and will probably be my creditor for this transaction, so I have to use my "fiscally responsible" persona, since he also knows how much I owe in student loans, how prone I am to getting into credit card debt, etc. So yeah, we'll be looking at the cheapies.

Even though what I want is a Prius. Or to wait until April and get a Honda Insight.

Even if I'm looking at the very cheapest of each company, there are too many car companies!

I can say my MIL really likes her Honda Fit and another relative really likes her Toyota Yaris Hatchback. I don't have any direct experience with other cheapest models. I've read that the Ford Focus is pretty reliable these days and has cool electronics if you get the SYNC package and I imagine there are some incredible deals at the moment. The Fit is amazingly versatile, you can carry a lot of stuff in it with the back seats down as I learned when moving my BIL.

If you're getting a used car, and can find this, the Toyota Echo is excellent for its size. Really. I think Toyota stopped making them in '04 (and replaced it with the Yaris -- WTF, Toyota?), but even an '04 will last forever. Mine's a 2000 and shows no signs of slowing down.

We hate our Ford Focus. Buy a Toyota.

Cool. That's actually very helpful, thanks!
