Are you drinking your whiskey with your pinky up in the air too?
I have nothing clever to put here.

I test-drove a Subaru the other day. My children and a friend I am either a tree hugger or a lesbian. I said I didn't buy one. Bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited instead, great deal on it. Guy at work bought one. Weve been threatening to put rainbow stickers on it. He gets a lot of crap about it. Its actually a pretty nice car though.

I always told my students my favorite vehicle is bought paid for and runs! No brand loyalty at all, nor style. This. Lowest cost of ownership. I have owned many , many cars/trucks over the years. Gotten some real cheap , some for free. Current beater is a 2005 Mazda Tribute AWD 6cyl. Got it for free , it has serious rust issues underneath and will get junked soon. Been driving it for over 2 years. I spend as little as possible to repair it as it will be in the boneyard soon.

So far, mpg is around 30. I drive about 800 miles per week for work and corporate pays me the std gov. mileage rate. I wish I could buy a cheap, used car to use every day, but I have to be able to work every day, so it has to be reliable. I tried the other way for a couple years and had to take days off for repairs, waiting a week or two to get in shop and renting a car to keep working. That doesn't pay real well. The way I figure it, corporate will be paying for my new rig, including gas/tires and I get to own it. Oh, and I just realized, I have a big bald spot where my man bun should be.
