I confess for the 10 minutes I drive my kids to school in the morning I have to listen to a top 40 station. So far the only thing that has stuck is that horrible excuse for a song where they keep saying "dolla dolla bill ya." *shiver*<BR/><BR/>april - Hey, we have Al Franken as a candidate for US Senator.

Our garage already has 2 cars in it so my Prism has been exiled to the car port. Still, it keeps going and going.

My husband did that with his Camry, and it lasted only 9 years. The ice, snow, rain and sleet rusted inside the roof so that it forced the windshield to crack. The cost to fix it was ridiculously expensive.<BR/><BR/>My Explorer piece of cr@p has been parked inside and is still "fine" (or as fine as a Ford product can get) with our 11 year anniversary coming up on June 7.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-40706066476705092052008-04-04T15:28:00.000-05:002008-04-04T15:28:00.000-05:00Very interesting facts...I think!Mushyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08523386203834736598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-53767483901971887222008-04-04T13:05:00.000-05:002008-04-04T13:05:00.000-05:00I'm also an NPR fan.

Nice to see you :-)<BR/><BR/>heather - Hmmm, can't tell if you're joshin me or being sincere. Either way though you're right.<BR/><BR/>yellojkt - Both. I only work 5 miles from home and I only use this car for work. So yeah, I'll probably be driving this stupid thing in 2015.<BR/><BR/>groovy mom - Good point. And you're right, that was pretty funny.<BR/><BR/>mooselet - Ugh, I HATE those FM morning "zoo" type shows. HATE THEM!<BR/><BR/>ve - I'll take the lottery one, thank you.<BR/> <BR/>Dan - All this talk about chives is making me hungry.<BR/><BR/>steve - You wouldn't for long though, our corporate network server can detect that. I actually had an employee get busted for that once. And lucky me, I had to do the reprimand.

And wow, 30 miles to the gall. keep it!!!<BR/><BR/>My ring-tone is the same, and you must get the same odd looks I do when it rings. Most people, well, the younger generation, don't "get" it.
