All right, I'll admit it. Tired of the single life, I bought myself a flashy sports car for the sole purpose of attracting beautiful women. I got myself a souped up, turbo-charged Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX with lots of fancy extras like chrome wheels, racing tires, after-market tail lights, etc. And I have to say that my car has turned into a real "chick magnet" all right!
Just not quite in the way I had hoped....

Now you will understand what Barry(I hate peeps)Barris is talking about when you have to wash that (peep magnet) good lookin car.

Well, try to squeeze in a few minutes now and then at least, Barry. Good luck with the the car and Brimfield. Who knows what you might pick up!
posted on May 10, 2001 05:07:23 PM newFemme: Mid-life crisis? Me? Welllllll, I actually decided to have my mid-life crisis early, while I'm still young enough to enjoy it. The short story is that I finally paid off my student loans and had some extra cash to play around with, I'm still single, and the housing market around here is so crazy that I'm never going to be able to afford anything no matter HOW much I save. So, since I've always wanted a sports car, I figured now was the time.
KatyD: "Or who" is right! Always nice to see a few friendly faces still hanging around. I've given up on eBay for the most part, which is another reason I haven't been posting here recently. It just means that when I go to Brimfield looking for pocket watches I have to be careful to only buy ones I actually want to keep, instead of thinking about which ones I can resell on eBay to pay for the rest....
KRS: Stolen, no. Broken into? I've already had somebody smash a window so they could rummage around in my hatchback looking for stereo compnents. There wasn't anything to steal, but I guess they had to break the window in order to figure that out....

Of course, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for the aforementioned wife, kids and house [I think of it as a consolation prize....]

Barry, I didn't have the new car bug til the hubby got a new explorer and the teenager got a beautiful new mustang... I wanna P.T. Cruiser! Unfortunately, it's not practical for our "lifestyle." Bleeehhhh... So, for the moment at least, I'm settling for a little metal one that sits on my computer. LOL
Hell of a nice consolation prize you've got there. I'll trade you my 19 year old daughter for it. Depending on your age you can either marry her or adopt her. Either way, I don't care as long as someone gets these damned college bills off my hands.
edited to add: she comes with a very nice car.
Not paranoid anywhere else but here!

Nice chatting, all! I've got to head to bed so I can get up before the sun tomorrow. For the first time, I'm actually looking foward to the 70 mile drive to Brimfield for some reason!
