My sister just bought a 5-door Yaris that is very roomy and comfy.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

[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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Also, why would you be using a riding crop and not at WORK?"
I went there, too. I get so oddly literal sometimes.
(Also, we are SO spoiled, having an empty house [owner died; the adult daughters who inherited it are letting it hang in probate -- for almost 3 years now] on our bedroom side. When it gets sold/rented/whatever, we are going to have to really watch our noise level.)

Dude, Hil, you've wanted a Mini 4EVAH!!!
Get the Mini! Buy it at a dealership near your folks and do your scheduled shit whenever you head home to see them.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Hil, I was going to suggest checking Zipcar to see what they have to do a mini test drive.
Hey Tom, are you free tomorrow night or this weekend? I'm going to the Evanston VW. There's dinner in it for you.

Heh. A bit later, his girlfriend emerged from the bedroom and came downstairs, so I suspect it may have been a matter of "oh...you came home..." type "middle of the day". :)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just need to figure out if I can afford the Mini.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hil, my current life lesson is that, if you can't afford the car, DON'T BUY IT. You may think that you'll just tighten your belt for the next 5 years, but you won't.

Not affording it is another matter.
Of course, there is then a used Mini.

I looked at the websites of a few dealerships, and the certified pre-owned Minis are really just a tiny bit less expensive than the new ones. The only ones that are really in my price range are the 2007 and earlier ones.
