Sad Face...
Update 2008-Feb-05: Got the mini back. Very disappointed that the Geico adjuster never wrote down that I had rear-fog lights, so they were not fixed. They had written down "rear reflectors" even though I had pointed them out as such while he was writing things. Luckily ...

This Christmas was filled with all sorts of delights. From good times with family and friends to new XBox 360s, bikes, TVs and laptops.

I finally took delivery of Little Spark around 4pm on Saturday. As you can see, we even made the supreme effort of completely cleaning out the garage and putting up some shelving and hangers for beach chairs, ladders, and our can's roof carrier. Our little car can sleep ...

My current car now is a 1998 Plymouth Voyager which up until April had only 48000 miles on it. After my 1994 Ford Escort died from a bad case of "transmission repairs will cost much more than the value of the car", I had to resort to driving the ...
