“Biff, stalking celebs with a baby, great ruse.”

Second best ruse after the one where you pretend to be gay so you can feel up a woman’s boobs. But of course you wouldn’t know anything about that, would you CGar?
😉

Siegried Sassoon was gay??? I thought I knew everything about British WW1 history but I never knew that.

Apparently both, Pete.

Biff, stalking celebs with a baby, great ruse. You often hung out by the Imagine mosaic? You some sort of Beatles fan? ; )

m4l — thanks for the cost est. That’s pretty close to what I spend on car rentals per year.

So, I’d have the upfront costs of buying and the constant nuisance of parking, but ongoing costs would be no different and it would be about 10000000000 times more convenient. Tempting…

I wouldn’t insist on a corolla — just some small, reliable, fuel efficient, 4 door. Accord would be good. Haven’t driven many mazda’s. I’ve rented enough ford focuses to know I don’t want one of those.

During the week, I’d mostly just drive it to new parking spaces when it is street cleaning day on my block. Mostly would use it for shopping on weekends and out-of-town family visits and stuff.

It would actually make things like visiting my parents or taking a 3 day trip to the catskills much more possible.

Also, now that I’m living in 11215 instead of 11217 I’ve noticed that (1) parking is not quite as nuts (although still bad), (2) it is a much longer walk lugging crap home from target, and (3) having fewer subway options is really annoying.

maybe what? gay or jewish?
