Ah! So stressful. And the funny thing I’ve found about snoopers? They all think they’re good at it and no one knows. Um. We know. And it’s annoying and creepy. If you have a question, just ask!

Uh, Dad has a drinking problem. Or an anger management problem. Or a too much money to waste problem. Or all three? But seriously, this was surprisingly unsatisfying to watch, because I just wanted it to be more dramatic. It was kind of like watching a cat kill a bird, but it just takes too long and gets boring but…

Got to compare both and from a “this is what a blind man’s butt thinks luxury is”...

I’ve seen some of the new ones and I’m intrigued!

Yes, hybrid.

Exactly. I’m a fully loaded Toyota type of person. When I bought my current car (in 2005!) the price difference between mine and the Lexus version was minimal (maybe $43,000 to $45,000?) but the Toyota had a third seat and more bells and whistles. I like bells and whistles and extra seating and I don’t care if people…

I don’t know the rules there, but it’s not uncommon here for people charged with a crime to be asked to donate to a certain cause instead of doing jail time, paying a fine to the state, etc. And the school sounds like a good enough cause.

That’s the biggest reason to have a criminal lawyer on speed dial. They almost always pick up.

You just made me snort laugh at work, when I’m supposed to be working.

As it should be!

Ha! Good luck. After his miserable year with the slightly used bmw, my husband literally said, “I want off the party planning committee and off the car buying committee, forever.” (Reference to The Office, which was huge at the time.) I must admit to being picky about color tho. If I have to drive a parent-mobile,…

I’m so in. Over the next 12-15 years, I’ll be doing a lot of varied driving and hauling. I need one. Can’t wait.

I’m here because I’m in the market for a new car and Tom McParland convinced me to consider a used Land Cruiser. I’d love a new one, but I also have to send a bunch of kids to college, so that’s a no-go. Anyhow, this made me want it even more. And I wonder what kind of deal they would cut me on this dark red one.

Apparently no one is more important than Michael Phelps.

Do you also have a law prohibiting passing on the right? They have that in Italy and I think it’s lovely. Made driving there a pleasure and cut down on my screaming “ASSHOLE!” by about 600 percent.

Ditto, though I’ve always thought of it as “alternate yielding.” Much like communism, it’s probably cool in theory, but human nature means assholes will ruin it for everyone.

Same, with different details. It was my husband and since then, he asked me to choose cars for him and he doesn’t even look. Just wants me to hand him the keys. We’re both happier.

Tom, this is long, but maybe you have an idea (and you know, tons of time on your hands. No? I’m trying anyway!)

43. Still have the school dream, though mine is often “CRAP. I forgot to go to class for a while semester. I wonder if I can fake it through this exam. CRAP. Of course I can’t.”

That’s a beautiful picture. I’m so sorry.
