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

“Not dead yet!”

If I were getting it totally for fun I'd probably would have looked more closely at the convertible model of the 335i or the M3.

I love my 335i convertible, ND. SO. MUCH. FUN. Because of course, I got it with a manual transmission, even though the salesguy gave me a funny look when I insisted that YES, dammit, I wanted the stick. Buy a car in the south when you're a woman has to be one of those special hells.

Our wings are not tired

I am more than a little ashamed of the fact that I finally got my fast BMW and I got an automatic. I caved to the fact that I spend so much time in LA traffic. I really want to have a BMW with a six speed at some point.

I will say, it does has the most responsive automatic I've ever driven.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, I say that spending that much time in stop and go traffic earns you a pass on the automatic.

And the 335 I test drove was an automatic and it was nice, but i'd been hankering to get back to a manual for over fifteen years. I had a relative asking, "Now why do you need a six speed? Isn't it just huge ego stroking?"

And I looked him dead in the eye and said, "Yes."*

brought to you the letters Bite and Me and the fact that I drove a minivan for seven years. I earned my fun car, dammit.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

If you could have any car, money and mechanical needs being no object, what would you drive?

Easy. Tesla Roadster: [link] Fully electric, handles amazingly, and vrooooooooooom. My only beef if it's an automatic, but still. Electric vrooooom.

But really, since it's me, a 1930 Indian 101 Scout: [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm randomly clicking around YouTube. I think I started out at the Beach Boys, went through various sixties groups, and ended up at the Mamas and the Papas. Why is "Dream a Little Dream" making me cry?

I think I just needed to cry, and something eventually had to bring it out.

Speaking of classics, here's an interesting little story about the oldest known Pontiac: [link]

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.

My ultimate dream car would be a '27 Daimler 4-seater, mostly for literary reasons.
