That is the correct answer. *fist bump*

I love his desire for a Saturn Sky as a trade. I’m a former Solstice owner myself, and I loved the shit out of that little kappa. Stupid, unreliable, badly designed, terrible, terrible, beautiful little cars. Faster and roomier than a Miata ever was, but doomed to obscurity by all the stuff that didn’t work about…

For the record, I didn’t get “my” first car, the car that was mine that I could drive all the time without asking my parents to borrow it, until I was out of college, in 2001. And it was my mother’s very old 1991 Camry. That she handed down to me when she bought her new Camry. That’s what getting a liberal arts…

I know, right? When did we all get so OLD??

Found your car. It’s a 2009 GTI. Yeah, it’s a shiftable automatic instead of a stick, but you live in a city in Wisconsin that’s small enough to only have one zip code. Not a lot of options.

Ew.

I didn’t know how to drive a stick at that point. I have since become enlightened, and now happily drive a 2012 GTI Autobahn with a stick. :)

I tried to left foot brake only once when attempting to get out of an impossibly tight parking space on a steep hill. I thought it would give me more granular control to make the tight maneuvers necessary.

I’ll check those out. I love a good porter.

Am I the only red-blooded Portland beer snob who thinks IPAs taste like licking a skunk’s butt?

What the actual shit is Sir Anthony Hopkins doing in this movie?

I had the honor to meet her at Powell’s a couple of years ago and have her sign my copy of Lathe of Heaven. Proud to live in the same city as such a brilliant and visionary author.

I’m a VW enthusiast, so I recommend buying a newish CC. It’s a gorgeous, sleek, powerful mid-size sedan that won’t break the bank.

No.

Yep, just in the middle of Book 6 now - very excited.

The saga of Dune is far from over...

You sass that hoopy Prince Charles? Now there’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.

There’s a middle ground, you know, between burning down all regulations, which is what Uber wants to do, and waving the red flag. If you can’t see that, then...well, then that’s unfortunate.

Your boss called. He wants you at work tomorrow at 4:00 am and you’re working an 18 hour shift with no breaks and no overtime, oh, and he’s paying you 15 cents an hour. Don’t like it? Go work somewhere else.

Yes.
