Murder = collective noun for crows.

Strange, I thought it would be a flock.

Murder of crows
Crash of Rhios (my favorite)
Congregation of Aligators
Destruction of Cats

This is one of my favorite things in the English language. They are all different!

In other news, I'm car shopping. I'm actually pretty good at shopping in general, but I don't know much about cars. I wonder if NM is getting sick of my texts yet? The wide variety of cars on my list is quite disturbing.

Little know fact, collective noun for over priced super cars is a Douche of Ferraris

I just assume that crows look around in shocked indignation whenever they see a rook. "WTF," they say, "we're essentially identical birds and they're a parliament while we're a murder."

Another Mini? I love my 3 but if I were to buy another car now I'd buy the new Escape.

What's on your list?

Not Afraid · 12-14-2011, 11:12 PM

CRV
Mini Clubman
Chevy HHR
GMC Terrain
Honda Fit

Somewhere in the midst of all of these is the perfect blend of decent city gas milage, fun to drive, room to carry shyt and includes (light colored)leather seats, bluetooth and seat warmers. (Oh, and somewhere in the general 20K range used.)

CRV is a pretty good vehicle

Not Afraid · 12-14-2011, 11:28 PM

Pros and cons of my list:

CRV - retains value (as proven for want we're getting for the '99 with 180k on it), no mechanical issues, decent gas milage. Con, we just "got rid" of one, hard to find a top of the line used.
Mini Clubman - FUN, but small. Retains value. Good warranty program.
Chevy HHR - Roomy, CHEAP, can get it with leather and low miles (8K) but it is red with black leather.
GMC Terrain - Good reviews but looks like a conservative Mom car. Won't retain value.
Honda Fit - No niceties, not as fun to drive, great gas milage, retains value, small.

I'm actually looking at Enterprise Car Sales. They work with my CU, have cars with super low miles, have a set price below KBB, and will buy my Volvo for 1000 over KBB. However, they tend to buy more "off" models (although if I wanted a BMW 3 series, I'd have the pick of the litter.)

I love my escape. Enough room but not big. And decent mileage.
