Why does Mini have both the Countryman and the Clubman?
slightly different target markets?
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I love my 2012 Focus that I bought new. It handles amazingly well and it's much quieter and has much better interior quality than other small cars in its class-
My son bought a 2012 Focus last year and it is quite zippy. My rental this week was a newer Focus, also a stick, but it was the hatch back version. I liked driving it, but I'm not a fan of Ford's dashboard/instrumentation/controls layout.
I'm reading all the car talk with interest. I'm not ready to trade in the Mustang quite yet. It is a 2002 and has been a good car even though we have to be very careful in the snow. It needs new tie rods and I have a feeling we will be hitting the nickel and dime stage sooner rather than later. I'm trying to hold off another year so I can have a better down payment. I haven't had a car payment in over 8 years, so I want it to be as minimal as possible.

Puppy cam! Yay!
Boyfriend and I actually just got confirmation that we are registered as a Foster Family for Miami-Dade Animal Services, so hopefully I will have some puppies and kitties in my life soon. I'm really looking forward to getting involved and helping some animals.
I'll need to buy a car soon as well - my "let's pretend I'm a millionaire" dream car is a Mini Cooper, but a Fiat is probably more my price range.
~ma and hugs to everyone having a bad day.

I'm trying to avoid a car payment, but if I pay off my credit cards, those payments should cover a car payment.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm always surprised that we don't have more Smart cars here in SF, and then I see one trying to go up one of the steeper hills, and I remember.

There are two Smart cars in my building's parking garage, and *both* have a motorcycle parked behind them. I'm convinced they just bought teeny tiny cars so they could fit their bike in the same parking space.

That's pretty sensible.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This episode of Poirot is Death on the Nile, and the main character is Emily Blunt in a blonde wig and an American accent. It's also got David Soul, who I'm pretty sure was either Starsky or Hutch.
