| We got a Mini Cooper S, black with white.  Manual.  FUN!  (I've driven up Signal Hill 6 times today).  The Volvo is dying and I need a reliable car - like one that starts every day.  This is going to become Chris' commuter car next year when we were actually PLANNING on buying a car.  I still have the Volvo.  I'm going to put a new tire on the front but not do any of the other work that is looming then sell it.  I love the Volvo, but the all-city driving I do wears on it. |
