Here's what I'm thinking this week... someone stop me. I could pay cash.

10% discount for cash. OMG. I've requested a test drive.

Be still my heart!

I'm not the one to talk you out of it. If I had the cash I'd be getting a new car tomorrow.

The last car I bought was in 1985, a Honda Civic. It lasted me until 2009. This one would probably see me out nicely...

They could bury me in it.

This one is more practical... I can practically see myself in it.

I love my Mazda6, paid cash for it right after the divorce, though your choice is WAY sportier and way more fun!!!

Can't wait to see a pic of you in it Faith!

If it's like other Mazda sports cars, it's not great in the snow, especially in corners, but it's great fun to drive otherwise. My Mazda3 had trouble on wet clover leafs, but it's the only car I've owned that I loved to drive.

Good to know. If it's snowing I don't bother driving, don't need to.

If I were to get one it would be just for fair-weather weekend outings. I would probably not drive much in winter at all as I'm close to everywhere I need to go.

I don't even need a car, just daydreaming about this one and it's making me happy.

Being practical in nature, I will point out that it has much more steel around you than the bike. Therefore, I highly recommend that you purchase it at once.

My next midife crisis involves a certain bar/restaurant/dance hall/music venue Texas. Which I will own. Maybe not this time (it's for sale currently--you never know...) but someday.

Ahhhh, I'll take any car as long as it's red. I'm a salesman's dream come true.

Seriously though, I've been car-free for five years now and the thought of paying gas, maintenance and insurance gives me hives.

Think I'll just go and rent a Stang for the weekend to see if I can get this out of my system.
