THAT is what you were referring to as "COLD" ?!? You've been living in California too long, my dear.

Hey, if it's too cold to go out and do it barefoot, it's cold!

I prefer "Your Highness".



Just kidding. Anyway, I just washed the car and I lived. The sun came out mid-rinse (always during the worst possible time, why is that??) so it wasn't too bad.

Oh, is that what Ken bought ??

Yeah, okay... dealership can wash it with some old sponges and dry it with some worn out bath towels.

We wouldn't tease you if we didn't love you, ken.

When ever I see CPJ written I think of the caper, peanutbutter and jam sandwiches my dear ol'ma use to make us as kids. She really wasn't a very good cook but she was very creative.

lol actually i like the Fit more than the civic i had before, but
it being a daily driver i really dont care that much. AT was
so boring on the civic... this time i didn't make the mistake and got
a MT.

the beauty of daily drivers is that it's care-free, yet this time it's fun
to drive and play around in. already got new wheels for it stacked up
in the garage along with other dressup parts on the way.

You're still cut off from man hugs for a while. Takes a long time to work off even an unintentional dis on Linda.



FIT is actually kinda cool for what it is - one of kids at my office has one. He thinks it's pretty much the same thing as a Cooper.

And capers make me gag.

actually they are very similar as far as "tiny FF fun cars." i think it is
very well within the MC motoring territory with the benefit of a smoother
drivetrain, reliability, and more utility. i was able to carry my new wheel sets home
with the rear seats upright.

Unfortunately, in my little world it looks like a mini minivan. But at $14K I guess you get wat you pay for. Hey I know stick a chip in it, new wheels and beef up the suspension and maybe a CAI - then you may hit the hp of a stock MC and handling as well. But heck kenchan, it prolly works for you. Then again, since I'm the pro, wat do I know.
Yes we all love to rib kenchan
