I do, I do ... had to come over to where the normal people hang out.

My GirlFriends are revving up to a Hate Heston hissy ... I can't go there.

How's the newlittlecar treating you?

I <3 thenewlittlecar... It’s pretty, it feels soooo smooth to drive, it’s easy and fun to park, it makes an excellent jukebox-on-wheels, and it’s cute and did I mention pretty?

Just put gas in it for the second time, incidentally. First fill-up, I got about 31.5 mpg in mixed driving, which for a car with a lot more pep than the old Corolla and all kinds of power doo-hickeys isn’t bad, I don’t think.

Today’s fill-up averaged 33.5. Whether it’s the breaking-in process or just that I’m more used to driving it, I dunno, but that’s nice. Not as good as some of the sub-compacts I was looking at would probably get...but it doesn’t drive like a sub-compact.

OK, I’ll stop babbling now. But I could go on if prompted. Just warning.
