No call yet...

Or, like so many other men, he's trying each of your parts, seeing if there's one that will stand out.

Well, I auditioned for Duane but I read for Sandy a lot.
Duane is a fun, slap-stick part. Sandy is more serious, New York journalist type who has a couple of love scenes with his girlfriend... So, as you can see I'd love any part I get but Duane or Duwell would be easier and funner. And I have an easier time with a Southern accent than a NY accent. mousepod can do a pretty darn good NY accent...

Ouch is right! I know from where you speak.

I'm counting down the days until I call the donation people to pick up Reggie (who has served me well) 200k miles, through snow and sleet and dark of night and up and down the hills of SF. It would take $3500 to get him in tip top shape and that is about the Kelly blue book value on it.

I think we should all go to the same auto shop and see if they'll give us a group swank discount or something.

I just went in for an oil change on Friday, and ended up needing new brakes and shocks. The shocks are going to have to wait for a bit though. But, yeah.... $20 turned to over $200 within an hour.

I still think we all need these, they're far more swanky, I know I'd LOVE one!

I definitely didn't mean to imply one should follow my example. I was just sharing my lucky fortune.

I sold that car when it had 212,000 miles on it. It was still in excellent shape and was getting the same mileage as when it was new (it was a '96 and was getting a combined 22/23 MPG).

We still go to the same mechanic we have been using for 15 years and there is no way we would ever change. We still drive all the way up to Montclair (about 20 miles away) to have him work on our cars. He has saved me a LOT of money of the years and does an excellent job.
