(photo courtesy of Wikipedia)It is just too cute. Really. Don't you think I'd look cute in this car, tooling around town or zipping down the coast? I just have a few things to do before I'm ready to buy one:
1. Figure out how to drive a stick. I've never tried it but how hard can it be? I multi-task a thousand times each day, surely I could handle driving with both feet...
2. Learn about car repair because apparently these babies need a lot of TLC but like human children, they look so damn cute that you forget about the bodily misfunctions and the disconcerting noises....
3. Pick out which color I want and then try to find one on ebay. Preferably find one in a city close to where friends or family live so that I can squeeze in a visit when I fly out to pick up my new car (see multi-tasking yet again!)
4. Pick out a fabulous scarf and big dark glasses (should I decide to go with a convertible)
5. Think up a plucky yet lady-like name for my new transportation
6. Stop hating driving (this may involve moving out of LA but it's a small sacrifice to pay for a pretty car)
7. Graduate from school, get a full-time job and finish some of my knitting/crafting projects before I pick up this new "hobby."
Oh, the best part? They are starting on ebay for between $500-$1000 and most are selling for less than $5,000.
Good night all, I'm off to dream about myself behind the wheel of a sporty little number....

OK, Lori!! You must go rent "Pretty In Pink" RIGHT NOW. Molly Ringwald made me fall in love with her pink kharman ghia when I was a mere teenager, and listen. Seriously. YOU need one! heh heh
p.s. I need to see you soon, please :)
I have an offer you can't refuse... I'll teach you to drive stick and all you have to do is let me borrow that little beauty (clunking sounds and all) every few days.
ps. thats a deal i'll want in writing.. know any good lawyers?
Oooh...Yeah! Convertible in L.A.? Perfect!!! Look up how modern dancer Isadora Duncan died. I think you'll skip the long scarf while driving in the convertible.
Psst! Hiya... It looks like your main column got placed in your sidebar on your homepage. :-( Bad Blogger. I hope you know how to fix it 'cause I'm afraid I can't help. :-/
Oh... I found this article that my pal Janel wrote... It might help you understand your spindle a little more.

Feel free to delete the comment after you've taken a look. :-)
I can only read and see the right half of the post but the half of the car is cute cute and you should skip the table and get the car..yeah
Ghia's are great and you would look sooooo cute in that car...in white, too. Yes, they need care, but they pay you back by lasting nearly forever. An old man of mine had an orange one, and even though it didn't have floorboards in spots, it never left us stranded thanks to its fine German craftsmanship.
Lori! Glad the blog is finally aligned and fixed up! Now it's time for an updated post!!!
Tip: If you keep your photos narrow, your blog will always be aligned.
update, update, update.....
