More on New Cars
Today I test drove a Mini Cooper S. DUDE! (Ok, I'll stop channeling Morgan) It was so sweet. It's super-zippy, handles like a go-cart, and is plenty roomy for a tall person like me. I love it, and I want one - I think.
I also test drove a Volvo S60 which had the most comfortable seat in which I've ever rested my bum. All I can say is that it was decent. The test drove was lame, we drove basically around the block and the sales guy was a moron.
Plus, I started doing math and seeing how much all this is going to cost me and apparently I've been deceiving myself. Perhaps I'll lease, but that's not a great plan financially. Perhaps I'll get a Honda Civic, but that's not a great idea emotionally. I wish that the car I drive didn't matter to me, but for some reason it does. I want a nice sporty luxury car. I need a way to get to work and to the store and various trips around the area, but I haven't taken a long car trip in a long time.
Mini Cooper S. Audi A4. Volvo S60. Honda Accord. Toyota Corolla.
Someone please tell me why this matters*!*!*!*!*!

I sat in a Cooper Mini for the first time this weekend. I was expecting that I would be crammed into the car, but surprisingly I put the seat all the way back and I could extend my legs fully. Were it not for the center-dash speedometer I'd get one myself. And to continue Wendy's poetic tribute to the Mini:
Cooper Mini S
Small, agile and powerful
Has legroom for days
Huzzah!
