ZOMBIE TRACE SMASH

[traceroo]

Zombie Trace went to the office 1 hour early and worked through lunch yesterday. When Zombie Trace got home last night, Ian was very kind to meet her at the door with a big hug, a smile, and such a tasty brain! Zombie Trace said, "You need to know three things about me: I am hungry. I am tired. And I'm stoooopid." Zombie Trace demanded Mexican food

First brains, then Ikea

Poor Zombie Trace; good brains are so hard to find these days. Happy to hear that you are without Coke still. Perhaps this is contributing to being one of the walking dea, however.

Congrats to Ian; glad he got the Art Lead position. He'll enjoy it, and it will be good on a resume. Two for the price of one.

Ah yes, First Brains, Then Ikea, I'd forgotten! Thank you for that important reminder for the walking dead!

ZOMBIE TRACE NO LIKE PANTS! ZOMBIE TRACE SMASH PANTS!

You and me both, Zombie Trace. You and me both.

Glad to hear most everything else is good news, though.

I shall hereby endeavor to point out the obvious connection between your self-imposed lack of sugared caffiene *cough* and your zombie-like consistency.

Nah, not that bad!

[traceroo]

I know it sounds like it, but truly, not so bad!

My only source of caffeine is Coca-Cola. I don't drink coffee or tea at all. Even before climbing on the "water wagon," I did not routinely drink Coke in the morning, or even every day.

This zombie state has far more to do with 2 nights of weird mid-night insomnia losing 3 hours each, then getting up early for 2 days, and being unusually busy and harried at work. No mystery as to the zombie state, just not actually as attributable to the Coke thing as it might appear on the surface!

I've been eyeballing the Honda Fit personally for a year or so now. First I plan to suck out the life of the free yet ancient Camry I got from my brother. And spend money on a vacation because, really, it'll be 10 years of being married so a vacation is a must!

That doesn't quite read like it's meant to. But you know what I mean.

I haven't given the Fit any test drives yet, so if you guys check it out, gimme the scoop!

Will do.

[traceroo]

I know you guys are Honda fans in general. Personally, I perceive Honda and Toyota to be about virtually identical in all aspects, and full of positive goodness.

I remember reading an article in Kiplinger's about a year ago comparing the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and Nissan... something. I think the Fit was their fav pick financially, but I can't be sure. I want to look that up.

I actually adore both Toyota and Honda. I had a Tercel, Corolla and a Celica before our Honda CR-V. I was originally in love with the Rav4, but upon giving it, the Honda and the Kia Sportage test drives, I found the Rav 4 to have a terrible use of space. And was too small for Mark with his monkey long legs, if I recall. It seems to have improved a whole lot since then (97 or 98), but that's how I ended up with my first Honda. :)

And I do find my little car reliable overall, despite having like 180k miles. It's just that the car itself is rusting out from under the reliable engine. =(

I luuurve my 4-Runner. If Ian does not talk me into trading it in, I will drive it until the wheels fall off... or we run out of fossil fuels. Even so, if he does make me trade it in, I will probably go with the Prius.

Personally, I adore my Fit.

I've had it since last Novemeber and have done well with gas. Since part of the reason for it WAS the gas economy, I've kept track of the mileage that I've had per gas fillup. With city driving, I've had between 26 and 28 MPG; for highway driving I've gotten as high as 36 MPG. And those numbers are with the due consideration that I've made little change in my driving habits and still fly down the highway! *sheepish smile*

And if you're the sort (ha! Like you and Ian aren't) that likes to have SUV-like capabilities with your car, fear not.. the Fit actually has a LOT of cargo space - and more when you lower the backs seats. I loved my Accord.. but I love my Fit more..

Good news!

[traceroo]

Thank you for piping up with a review! I was not aware that I knew anyone who owned one, so this is really helpful.

Speaking of cargo space, we have joked that if we move out of Texas, we can drop the tailgate in the 4-Runner and just park the Fit in the back. That way we can still driver together!

The Accord has some big shoes to fill, so this is indeed high praise. I'll make sure Ian reads it.

Thanks,
T$

Randy's lady also owns a Fit.
They have said that they love it.
It even packs well for events.

Oh thanks, he and I have been exchanging some email this week. I'll ask him about it.
