Rly? I just don't get this. It's not a brand new human. It's our third new car ever, may well be our last (first two were when we emigrated 11 years ago) beest is enjoying driving it because he chose well, but it's not the newness so much as being a car that meets his needs, I think.....

you don't get new dishwashers and tumble dryers that often either -they may cost less, but they often make much more difference in everyday life.

I think dishwashers are the new purchase We enjoy the most. we have bought three in our 20+ years together.



Buxton is in the garage tonight. Red Rascal is not. Buxton is in Red Rascal's half of the garage. In the old days, when there was temporarily crap in the garage, it was RR who got to stay. The front part of RR's side was the easiest to bulldoze. Here's hoping RR is not related to Christine. :lol:

(The Focus never had a name)

yeh yeh yeh whatever ... did you and beest christen it yet?

???

It's an American custom to urinate on the car tires.

lol. when she figgers it out. :bolt:

figures it out?

I just wondered who was using the family brain cell when you posted that?

It was a joke. relax. sheesh.

right back atcha, slowpoke

My post was a joke, yours was an insult. Perhaps the difference is beyond you.

Nice car, Monster, good luck and have fun with it. Be sure to chain it to something big so it doesn't get stolen.;)

BTW, I think Classic meant "did you and Beest have sex in it yet?"

You wouldn't see the cars you see on the road if, for a lot of us, cars were just utilitarian. In fact, I daresay most cars would look the same, except that some people LOVE cars.

I do. I would love to have a little fleet, driving whichever one fit the mood or the environment that day. A Jeep CJ7, my bug, a Lamborghini, some cool classic...like a Bel Air, and some kind of big stomper SUV. That might do it for now. :blush:

I'm amazed at the lack of color selection for new cars. 90% of cars today are the basically the same color as the road they drive on. What happened to color? Beest's new car is one of the most colorful you'll see. This isn't the 1800's, the world isn't in black and white today. It's in color. Plus, it's easier to find your car in a parking lot if it's an actual color. Is grey/silver/tan popular just because it hides dirt?

I don't know. What about the whole Burnt Orange movement?

Its also easier to see other cars when they have some contrast relative to the road and whatnot. YMMV
