Chicago and Ohio will get lots o' high-speed rail.
Dude, I would use THE HELL out of a high-speed train like that.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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.

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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

WTF is a "yaris"? For some reason I tend to think of Yaris as a moon of Yavin.
