“daughter hated driving a Hyundai; is spoiled brat; drove mom’s BMW to school”

This. This right here. I absolutely refused to be seen in public with it. REFUSED. I hated that it got parked in front of my house.

No, no, no. You need a level headed guy to play the role of May. The choice is clear:

Yeah, safety regs. Who needs those pesky things? I love the flavor of A-Pillar in the morning. It tastes like, injury.

I would try to find a bike somewhere in the middle of the two extremes (probably leaning more toward comfort in my case) and make my fifth vehicle a watercraft of some sort.

I can share my one anecdotal experience using credit card insurance when I damaged a rental car FWIW. I was driving on the interstate last year in MN and an object flew up and smashed the windshield of the rental car I was driving.

Should be a simple matter of counting the hubcaps.

I’m replacing a well-maintained low mileage car today. The reason being because needs change. I know you said “probably” better off, so you acknowledged that isn’t true in all cases. We are actually replacing my wife’s Focus, it really isn’t the best vehicle when you have two kids in car seats.

There, there now, David. You’ll be okay.

I love this show. Here’s are a few reasons why:

Yea, its an emotional roller coaster.

I’m trying to rationalize how terrible of an idea this is.

6 hours? really?
