OK, at long last. The new ride.
I love how it drives and how it looks. Seamus told me, “You will have people asking you what kind of car it is” (because of its “de-badged” condition — there are no Chevy bowtie emblems anywhere on it). I thought, “Yeah, maybe.” Well I definitely had people asking me about it. “Is it a mini-SUV?” “What kind of car is that?”
Me likey. And the best part is — room for more than one other person. Yay! My turn to drive.
Behold, the Finkmobile (aka 2008 Chevrolet Aveo 5):

Looks like it's smiling. The black grille is an add-on.

Love it. Fun to have new stuff, eh?

/ 5 December, 2009That ROCKS! I’ve always thought those were cute/sexy looking cars. Now all you need is a kickin’ subwoofer to take up the rear storage compartment & a drop-down LCD TV and DVD player from the hatchback & you are ready to PAR-TAAAAAYYEEEE!!!

/ 6 December, 2009Congrats on the new chariot. I’m really thrilled for you. It looks wonderful, and I hope it serves you well. As a taxpayer you have part ownership in 60% of G.M. Did the old Ranger bite the dust? What do you think I should do with my old 97 Sable?

You mean the Sable that has the air conditioning you never use??
Do with it what we’re doing with the Mercedes: put it on Craigslist and hope someone comes to take it away. Unless you want to buy it. $750. Such a deal.
The MFR is still alive and kicking and in fine shape. The Thriller owns it now! It’s all shined up and full of “his” stuff. I will actually miss driving it; it’s been my daily car since forever–in January, it’ll be 10 years.
