Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

Polter's car-shopping is amusing to watch. For me, car criteria is "Can I afford it? Does it run? Will it pass inspection next year without breaking me?" Coolness and color are not valid critera in my world.

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.

I always figured if I were to buy a car from a dealership, I'd ask the saleperson to show me the ugliest cars on the lot, as I don't much care to spend money on cosmetics.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My main criteria for a car seems to be, "Is it weird? Will it confuse people?"
I did get a guy to exclaim, "WTF is that?!?" while driving my Lincoln, so I guess it meets my criteria....

Hee to tommyrot!
I sometimes wish I had hung onto the baby-blue 1973 Ford LTD I had the summer between freshman and sophomore year of college, but there was no place to keep it on campus, and the engine was in such bad shape it wouldn't have lasted through the Milwaukee winter, anyway. But it was an awesome car to behold--I called it The Big Blue Boat.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
P-C, my DH is a car reviewer and has driven hundreds of cars and SUVs and truly his favorite car is the Mazda 6. He likes the drivability and the looks and also has high praise for Mazda service and support.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY -t!!!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey, Scrappy - what does your DH think of the newer Jeep Wranglers?
Happy birthday, -t!

Happy Birthday, -t!

Juliana- Here's a review: [link] You also might search his site for other Jeep articles. It does really badly in crash tests, so you'll want to check out other vehicles.
