1. Yes, you are, and I'm driving a 15-yr old Toyota. Got any more, friend?

4. I had to get rid of my S-10.
Now I'm gonna be driving her former 2002 Corolla.

She deserves it. She puts up with me, and all my political campaigns.

8. She loved them.
She's been talking about getting one for about a year. She had no idea it was coming.

I told her to meet me for a cocktail after work with her girlfriends, and just kinda slipped a key into her hand.

17. I sold my interest out to my partner 2 weeks ago.
But, stop in anyway. Jim Clarke is a good progressive guy. We've co-managed several campaigns together. We had a few disagreements on management issues, and he agreed to buy me out. The food is still great!

9. Awesome!
My 05 model with 72000 has been such a joy.

A wonderful reference for the new Prius owner: http://john1701a.com/

11. I bought my wife French Dinner on a hot air balloon
Oh, wait, nevermind. You're rich, and I'm stuck in reality. Hopefully her old car went to kars4kids?

16. Nope
Her 2002 Corolla, with crank-down windows is now my favored method of transportation. Unless it's too hot (this is Florida, after all) I still hae my Hog.

22. Ugghh, Dr. Biker, talk about a juxtaposition...
I try to keep my wife out of biker bars, and into the doctor's office. Such a quandary.

In my fantasy world I have 100 wives and bought them all hydrogen cars. Oh well...
