Hehe, was going to say that Xist is purposely referring to her as The Alaskan specifically to obfuscate the nature of that relationship.

I've stated elsewhere I don't keep female friends, not that I'm unfriendly towards them, only that nothing good can come of it. Girl friendships are usually lopsided, because how often are women fixing my car, or the fence that was blown over, or fixing the roof? Sure, it could happen, but that's not likely. Then there's the fact that we mostly have differing interests, with girls preferring to talk about other people, and me preferring to talk about philosophy, technology, economics...

If it were a friendship, Xist would have put 12k miles on her car in a couple months...

... now I'm missing the part of the story explaining why a better strategy is to hunt down another car (and its unknown issues) than to repair the known issues on the current Camry?
