The next car for Lorin!

Lorin,
I just found the perfect Mini for you and Jos. Leave it to our cousins on the other side of the Pond to come up with this.....

That's crazy, and they didn't think about insurance for it. I could see Lorin or Jos in it though.

I have never seen anyone get so excited over a Honda "Fit" as Lorin does. It's almost obscene.

Lorin,
If you want to make Dorothy jealous you could get an American Electric Kurrent... Of course you can only go 40 miles from home but the good news is you can plug into any 110 outlet! There is a dealer in Hazlet NJ.

I took all of your advice; Freddy, Ed, Peg, M&M...not mention any names and tried out different cars:
