It looks cool. Like a rocket. Do i have to own a rocket? What about renting that car for a long weekend. That is what i do with nice cars. For daily use i have a very fast and superlight bike. And THAT looks really cool!

Well folks, just wanted to let you guys know that I gave in and bought my girlfriend an FJ Cruiser.

She said that she loved the look of the thing, so I bought her this to look at:

Now she has it on her coffee table and can stare at it all day long !

Usually when couples shop for Vibes together and buy each other toys... er... I'm going to stop right there.

I'm still trying to convince her to place a sticker that says " RATOR" next to the Vibe logo.

She won't let me do it ( can't imagine why ! )

...a bumper sticker saying, "...putting the MAN back in MANUAL..." somehow popped into my mind as I read your posting.

Have her look at my car, then the 57.9 mpg it gets. The auto should be good for 50-55 if done right

40-45 jut by driving.
