"Porsche sedan" just sounds wrong.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

my Batman decal, and one of them even took a picture. But, fuck, I just saw this decal, and ita ! might need an upgrade.

WHAT. WHY DID I NOT KNOW OF THESE.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Porsche sedan" just sounds wrong.

Not as wrong as "Porsche SUV."

I actually like the sedan. I'd probably never buy one, but you can rent them. I might have to do that some day.

There was a Lotus Elise in the parking garage the other day. I think I know who drives it, but I could be wrong.

It's very....yellow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Though we did have a station wagon and sometimes got to fight over who sat in the "way back"...if there was room among the luggage/shopping/etc. I suspect that doesn't even exist anymore.

Our old family station wagon had two back-facing seats in the trunk that you could flip down if you needed that space for storage. I used to love sitting back there, even if in retrospect it was probably a death trap.

I cannot say enough good things about my Outback Sport. Nice and zippy and suprisingly roomy. I think I've mentioned I call it the Tardis because it feels bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. If only it was blue like my stolen Civic, Illyria.

Yay, house for Dana!

The pizza pub near me has something called "white ketchup" on some of their pizzas. We finally had to ask and it is basically just Ranch.

You mean white ketchup isn't cream of mushroom soup?

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 just cannot with the minivan. Crossover, yes. Station wagon, also yes. minivan, cannot.

I think my ultimate mom car would be some big ol' finned Caddy that's bench seats had been retrofitted with extra seat belts. You could easily sit four across the back of one of those suckers, three or four in the front, soccer gear and the odd kayak in the trunk...

Serious Eats did an amateur chemical analysis on halal cart "white sauce" once and determined that it's basically mayonnaise.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aww, msbelle, thanks for linking to the DH!

I LOVE my Mazda 3.
