When I got my new car I had several near-misses in parking lots until I got used to my easy-spin steering wheel. No more grunting while parallel parking! Imagine that. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1163257726895849772006-11-11T10:08:00.000-05:002006-11-11T10:08:00.000-05:00MsCellania,Car and Driver magazine just referred t...MsCellania,<BR/><BR/>Car and Driver magazine just referred to the Cadillac SUV as "a $54,000 automotive mullet."<BR/><BR/>-J.Jokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672407657347134623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1163255473011531682006-11-11T09:31:00.000-05:002006-11-11T09:31:00.000-05:00I've had cars that were so horrible, valet parking...I've had cars that were so horrible, valet parking lot attendants fought over who had to park them! <BR/><BR/>So you no longer take your cars to R? <BR/><BR/>Amen to the power locks and remote entry. <BR/><BR/>The car I currently want is the VW Phaeton. It's like a limo w/o the stigma. I am TIRED of getting the back of my seat kicked! But the gas mileage on these big sedans? HORRIBLE. Might as well drive a Caddy or Lincoln SUV - NO Thanks!MsCellaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399187248681818440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1163181790594358562006-11-10T13:03:00.000-05:002006-11-10T13:03:00.000-05:00I love that story.

Now that it seems there are just two of us in this family for the long haul, at the exact moment that LM turns 12 and can safely ride in the front I'm getting a TWO SEATER. Unless I have a really big dog again. And by two seater, I may just mean a truck.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797634231980014686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1163166754375322172006-11-10T08:52:00.000-05:002006-11-10T08:52:00.000-05:00My Aunt C has one of those cute little BMWs, but h...My Aunt C has one of those cute little BMWs, but hers is an automatic.

There was a period of time when my sister lived with me, and when we'd drive together we'd hold hands and sing church songs to try to keep the thing running.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753481035768736548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1163127010034054142006-11-09T21:50:00.000-05:002006-11-09T21:50:00.000-05:00Dudes, my convertible doesn't have power locks.
