Well, his name doesn't happen to be Rockefeller. I suspect the custom contour seats and the beverage gripping dash make the Adobe an attractive choice.

I want a nice, smaller sedan that's fairly quick and gets good mileage. I've driven SUVs all my life (except for my first car, a four-banger white 1987 Mustang - sounded like a freaking lawnmower), and am sick of their size, poor handling and crappy gas mileage.

Uh-oh. No buttonholes, and now I have the wrong car. PPNYC is NEVER going to fuck me.


Whether the BMW 3-series is worthwhile depends on the year. For a while they were trying to make that a lower-cost, starter-type car in the hopes of securing brand loyalty. Didn't work, kind of backfired, and they got over it.

The higher-end BMWs are just too damn big.

Stop cowering in the corner. As a member of the bar, you are embarrassing yourself, sir.

Of course. Why do you think I've stopped calling you when I'm in NY?

I do. Every weekday. To and from work.

Seriously, if Chicago's climate were like San Diego's, I'd just by a scooter or something.

I like the mercedes. I have an old one, for the station car and a new truck for the snow and the kids.

If I had the mashmola? an E class wagon 4 matic babybee

and yeah you kinda did yourself in with the buttonholes and now the car. drool or no drool

I have a 9-3 Aero convertible. My favorite car that I have actually owned to date. Of your other choices I am not sure I would do any of them, and my other choices are probably too old guy for you.

Maybe the Z4? If I had no kids that I acknowledged unproven paterntiy over, I would go with that.

It might be because of comments like,

"It doesn't matter *who* stays home as long as someone who loves that child does.

They do so well with a parent home. sigh"

Spokesman: These days, everyone's talking about the Hyundai, and the Yugo. Both nice cars, if you've got $3,000 or $4,000 to throw around. But, for those of us whose name doesn't happen to be Rockefeller, finally there's some good news - a car with a sticker price of $179. That's right, $179. The name of the car?

Adobe. The sassy new Mexican import that's made out of clay. German engineering and Mexican know-how helped create the first car to break the $200 barrier. At this price, you might not expect more than reliable transportation - but, brother, you get it! Extra features: like the custom contour seats, or the beverage-gripping dash. And the money you save isn't exactly small change!

Jingle:
"Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
The little car that's made out of clay!
We're gonna save you some money
that you can spend in some other way!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Adobe!"

[ show Adobe driver get into a fender-bender. She casually steps out of the vehicle and uses her hands to mold her bumper back into its proper shape, in under six minutes! ]

[b]Spokesman:/b] Adobe. You can buy a cheaper car. But I wouldn't recommend it!

Yeah they ain't all duct taped to the wall like in the daycare in MA.

That would also explain animosity between idiots and non-idiots.

What if you were to tie them down with bottles in close at hand, lock the doors and go for a run? Is that okay?

Doomed to spinsterhood
 

Your grammar problems are the least of them.

Doomed to spinsterhood
 

You say that as though there's something wrong with it.

Doomed to spinsterhood
 

yeah well your exposure to broken flourescence is the least of yours. not all that.

If you mean bottles of JD, I think it's a capital idea.

Doomed to spinsterhood
 

your first wife? she's way too slow to leave the kids for a run, but wait, she probably doesn't go far either?

I think it might depend on income and culture, too. Friends from India describe child rearing as a sort of fun thing one does with other adults, especially other Moms and elderly men and women in the family -- all of them helping each other and being able to get away a lot by taking turns. Then again, they're wealthy and live in a fancy compound. Anyhow the point is that the degradation might be alleviated if we weren't so nuclear family-ish and secluded.

(And I know of a few cases where the career thing has been such a disaster that changing shitty diapers and having to entertain a 1 year old for 12 hours was considered "relief.")

If that's all they do to you in daycare in Mass., you've gotten off easy.

I am not a fan of daycare. Or of psycho nannies. So we have dedicated our lives to structuring it so that someone is home. doesn't have to be me, and he hates commuting and the city. so I love it and here I am.

325. The Benz CLK is made of balsa wood and plastic. Thoroughly unimpressed.

If you're talking the SL, I'd say you're too young. Can't own that car unless you have hair plugs.

I kind of like that guy. I went to Detroit 2 summers ago and saw the Tigers and surprisingly sat in his section.
