Hil, while seemingly centrally located, that recycling center is surprisingly in the middle of no and where. I've gotten lost there several times.

I love my GPS, except that the suction cup has suddenly decided it doesn't want to stick to my windshield anymore. Am debating taking a trip to Radio Shack to see if they have one of those beanbag mounts. On the one hand, oy not another fucking errand. OTOH, I'd really rather not spend the next 2 days watching it fall down every 5 minutes.

Anyone have opinions on whether the built-in GPS or the kind that you stick to the windshield is better?

Duct tape?

Heh - my mom might object (it's her car).

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I just signed up for Zipcar last week. They only have 2 general locations here in LA (USC and UCLA), neither of which are near me. However, renting a car is so expensive I'd rather have the money be an investment in a future than just one rental. I'm antsy because I need the car for a specific set of dates and I can't even see if it's already reserved until I get that damned card. They're slow sending it.
Today will involve moving boxes that are already in my room to another room in order to make room for a bookcase to be brought up from the garage. That is, after demi-tonnes of clutter are removed from in front of the bookcase.
Loins girded.

I'd look at a few in-car models and compare interfaces. The in-car GPS units I've seen, I haven't been impressed - I prefer my little TomTom. The killer feature for me is the thing where it shows you not only the next turn coming up, but also what lane you should be in. Immensely helpful when navigating unfamiliar highways.

I'm a member, do you want me to check?
ETA: Also, I suppose in theory I could reserve and then cancel the reservation freeing up the car for you.

Yeah, it looks like navigation things available on most of the cars that I'm looking at just have 2D graphics, not 3D.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Just to put my comment from Bitches into context, I was drunk and super sad last night and was wishing that I didn't have anyone to be accountable to so that I could indulge myself to the extent I wanted to.
In the morning (as always) I realize how grateful I am to have that tether to keep me from falling off the edge. I could, so easily...
