Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

I'll also put in a plug for the Nissan Versa.

My car is a Carmax one! But certified used by Toyota, not Carmax. Of course, I hardly ended up using the warranty, even though I probably should've a few times.
I'm thinking about this bag, in grey. Pretty, and could be carried, or wheeled. But 'spensive, and some of the reviews say it breaks. But I'm having a hard time figuring out the appropriate search terms to find similar things--"wheeled duffle" comes up with ugly dufflebags.

I saw one of those. [ETA: Versa] Looked nice. Since I decided to buy all I do on walks is check out cars.) I have a bias for VWs and Audis because I grew up with them and feel like I understand them in a way I don't other cars. I checked out the Matrix but new is above my comfort level and I didn't see much in the way of used.
Pick up is a big consideration for me. The whole 0 - 60 thing. It drives me batshit if a car is straining when I accelerate. And handling. I need strong HP. (I don't think Scola let go of the handhold the entire time we drove to Madison.)
Beyond that, a hatchback with a big enough hatch for that to be the dog's place would be good. That aside, a 4-door sedan is what I want. Heated seats are pretty close to a must-have, which skews European. Sunroof would be great. Nice shape is also a consideration.

Trudy, those awesome curtains include the gothy motif which Jilli doesn't like...
Oh, I know which curtains those are! The spider in them is tiny/stylized enough that it doesn't set off my twitching.
ION, the Adam Lambert concert last night was all sorts of fun, and HMOG, he is gorgeous.

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
I hear he's delightfully tall in addition to being sparkley, snakey-hipped, and slutty.

Good god allmighty. I just ... wow. I spent most of the concert gaping in delighted glee.

Brenda, you've pretty much described a Subaru Outback as your perfect car.
