Don't tell the Sub(e)

Don't get me wrong. I love our Subaru wagon (our friends, Shadam think that we talk about our car like we would a pet). But honestly, who wouldn't love a car that doesn't have a car payment has gone almost 180,000 miles and has lots of space when you make trips to Ikea or the Crate & Barrel outlet? However, I would be willing to trade it in and get the new extended mini - provided there was still no car payment.

I can't believe you would be willing to through the Sub under the bus like that. After all its done for you? I'm ashamed of you, KT.

Also, I didn't even know there WAS an extended mini. Oh goodie!

You do treat it like a pet. "Sube this Sube that" Not only is it treated as a member of the family but personified. According to the Carlklefs this car has a better personality and stronger characteristics than half their real family and all of their friends. And then to want to trade her in, what is going to happen to all of us when you have had your fill?

If you ask me it is time to dump the Sube before the Sube dumps you...again. That blasted car has left you stranded countless times by running out of gas. The car refuses to communicate by withholding on gas level readings and you refuse to fix the gas gage. It's just a bad relationship from every angle and I think you need to turn the Sube into scrap and start fresh with a brand new car. I don't know that the extended mini is the way to go. It still looks like a station wagon and until you turn into Mike and Carol Brady you don't need a mini-wagon or a mini-van. Get something sporty like a convertible. Think of the cool summer breezes blowing through your hair as you speed down the highway to IKEA and Crate and Barrel outlet. Or maybe you should get a full sized conversion van complete with mini blinds in the window, one of those cool round bubble windows, and a mural painted on the side. AWESOME!! Just plain awesome.

Shana, where the flip have you been for so long? I've been worried sick.

If you take Sir Toddcat's suggestion and get a convertible you could get a white Seabring. Now THAT would be awesome.
