Well we got home, but as soon as I told him the sitch 1) no more afterschool 2) he needs to give me the DS, at least right now HE FLIPPED! He's now slammed in his room (his doing) after I denied him 1) leaving 2) going into the kitchen that has wet paint AND a painter in it 3) watching tv.
It is not a good thing that a TON of breakables from the kitchen are sitting around the livingroom because of the painting. I should probably start putting some of them behind some closed doors.
I will not runaway. I will not runaway. I will not runaway.
I'm wondering if there's a Mazda that would work for me. My '99 Protege has been pretty reliable I think.
I rented a Mazda 3 once - it was nice, for a small car.
I was just looking at the TDI models. Looks like the Golf is still coming; not out yet. And, unless I was looking wrong, the highway miles are still in the low 30s, as opposed to the 40+ for the Civic/Prius.
That mileage can't be right.

It's listed at 41 hwy here.
The topic is actually one I've been thinking about since last year, because I AM trying to set myself (well, Gothic Charm School, and by extension, me) up as a Recognizable Brand. Which means there are some kind of 4th wall issues that I need to get over. Or else I need to stop reading the interwebs, and that's just crazy talk.
Was the person you found using an icon of you using a picture from one of your photo posts? Maybe it would be less weird if they used photos taken by a professional photographer? Those are the sorts of pictures of celebrities that normally get turned into icons, not random snapshots.

I had some early issues with my Mazda6, but in general, I'm pretty happy with it.
Better yet, this link...

That's a good site for researching fuel economy in general. I can't find a direct link to the Jetta, but they list it at 42 hwy for the automatic. The combined is in the 30s.

For the win!!
And I agree with many of you on gin...it makes me think of pinesol. Which a friend of mine did a shot of freshman year of college (...yah, bad plan. he was dared. we were all really drunk already. Senior year, he offered to do it again, and when we amazedly, hesitantly, were like "...dude, really?" he was like "FUCK NO, I'm not that dumb anymore!")
Unrelatedly, we've (at work) just determined that the genesis of curling had to be alcohol-based.
That and caber-tossing! Which is totally my favorite "sport" ever.
Dark and stormys (stormies?) are delicious. The bar on the corner near me does them yummy, and rightly, with ginger beer. Mmmm.
I feel like my friends who've had VWs through the years were always having to get random little things fixed on them. It totally, possibly irrationally, has taken any VW off of my possible future car list.
I love my VW Jetta V6 to absolute pieces, but since they don't make it anymore I a) can't recommend it for purchase and b) will get it repaired every time.
