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.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
She's been DRIVING Zipcar Minis for YEARS. She looooooves them!
Get the Mini! GET THE MINI!!!!

I went there, too. I get so oddly literal sometimes.
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.

Our wings are not tired
Check and see if there is a Carmax around. A used Mini from Carmax could really be the way to go. I purchased my Mercedes, BMW, and both of the work trucks through Carmax and I really can't recommend them enough.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hil - I worked for a BMW/Mini dealership for the last year or so we were in LA. I was primarily in the service department. If you want to know about the service on them or anything, let me know.

My oldest sister had another scan to see how her system has coped with the chemo. There's a new tumor, one that wasn't there in March, at the last scan.
No wonder she hasn't updated her medical status blog. She was feeling all hopeful and shit, too.
Dammit.
