(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....
