re: #416 Guanxi88

I’ll be doing my bit to help boost the local economy, and increase tax receipts for the county later today. I’m off to buy a car (this’ll make 3 we’ll have now).

Fritz, my diesel death snail, is strictly a commuter vehicle, of course. Wife and kiddos use the minivan for their runs hither, thither, and yon, but I find the mpg on the thing is so goshawful that buying a little Chevy metro, for me to make runs to the shops, is actually pretty damned cost-effective.

Besides, Fritz is far too pretty a car to be seen anywhere other than on the highway, belching black smoke as its angry, scowling pilot tries desperately to get the thing up over 60 mph and keep it there. Love that german engineering, though.

Yes, but only the fastest turtles taunt Diesel Death Snail — and only after they have passed it! ;)
