I learned to drive on a Gremlin, and it was actually my car in high school. I was mortally embarrassed by it though, because it was dark green… Looking back now though, it was a torquey little thing, and pretty fun. First car I ever fishtailed in… I had my grandma’s one summer back from college (we were a bit of an…

No kidding— Yeah, it can be convenient in some circumstances I suppose (well, really only when taking off in snow if I’m impatient), but I know how to drive. When the car starts doing what it thinks I need to do, while I’m doing what I actually intend/need to do, it can cause a bit of chaos…

That’d be the dream! We drive by farm areas outside of town here and go, “hmmm…” Unfortunately, we don’t really have any desire to invest in living in this area permanently…

We just signed up for Dirtfish’s 3-Day (30% off for black Friday). Logistics to getting to Team O’Neil would have just made it way too much (we’ve been looking at doing this for *years*, so we worked out the complicated logistics for us before Dirtfish existed). ‘Tis easier to drive to Seattle for Dirtfish.

I got the Kate Spade handbag I’ve been eyeing for 30% off yesterday! There are a bunch of really good random 25% offs until the 30th.

Wow… the WRC article I read made it seem like Loeb left Citroën, and I almost felt kind of bad for them as they’d been together for so long, but I guess it’s the other way around. Glad Peugeot was smart enough to grab him, Loeb is too crazy talented to not have him out there racing. And glad he’s got something…

Home Depot is the first I used that had one. Pre-Target by a little bit even— though I have a Target card, and they don’t chip themselves… Haven’t seen anybody else active yet, though many have the terminals.

the air cannon AND a ramp! Still can’t watch that scene…

He drove the manual Lacetti on Top Gear. He apparently broke at least one of them, but he did it. (point being that he at least could be taught for that at minimum). Not to mention his car stealing days were early on when manuals were much more popular…

I guess it’s good you’re finally selling it as I won’t have to get depressed with every article about it! We just paid off the car we bought last year, and our driveway is now packed (though with 3 cars actually manufactured in Japan, yo)… not to mention the 1000+ mile distance… :( So here’s hoping it sells fast so I…

I still can’t watch that movie… the whole idea freaks me out, especially that tow truck thing… I mean, it’s bad enough to anthropomorphize the cars, but then to give them bad teeth too just gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I think I was most disgusted by the horrid slides… $18k/yr per kid and she couldn’t pony up a bit of money to have a remotely professional slideshow put together?? Then again, it was, what, 77 slides? I’m not sure many decent designers would have even agreed to work with someone like her… 77 slides of pure crap, and I…

That almost makes aerial refueling look easy…

I *so* need to learn how to do some of that… (more in regards to self defense than presuming I’d be in a situation like a Marine would…). The arm stuff to throw somebody would certainly be out with my size, but the leg stuff? And especially tossing folks over your shoulder… I’ve inadvertently done that before with…

The answer is always Miata, except when it’s not…

Well warranted discussion though. You’d almost think the rebels would have designed a little hand on the front of their fighters to just go *flick* with their fingers, and send them spiraling out into space to knock out a few more. Kind of like a game of marbles.

I was *very* glad he didn’t bash the Imperial Shuttle— it’s always been one of my favorites. I have a big one sitting on top of one of our bookcases— in “parked” mode of course, as it’s almost 3 feet wide opened up…

My husband was mentioning just how much of a bitch those things must be to park with those wings blocking everything

Well that was depressing... I was hoping you were going to say they were going to put out something sporty again... (there’s not a lot of small, but not too small, fun, but reliable, car choices under about $30k anymore if anything ever happens to my car...)

I’ve only somehow managed to actually have nails for the past 6 months (about 1/80th of my life…). I love my matte black polish and a few others, but it all just chips so easily… I refuse to wear gloves just to do normal things, so I guess I have to deal with it. But after washing one of the cars the other day, I gave…
