If you have a car for sale, or you know someone who does. let me know. any type, any price, all suggestions are good suggestions, and will be rewarded with that most coveted of strangely rewarding prizes; +Karma. OOOooooOOOOh.
thanks.

haha, yeah. a car just for class would be a bit excessive, but when i go to the mountains etc. im gonna need some wheels of my own. i dont want to have to take the bus to whistler or anything, and i dont think canadian trains are exactly swiss in efficiency!

Karma for everyone.

thanks for the suggestions, but i cant afford the MPG on a match box car, they just drink petrol. as for a segqay with a ski rack, the depreciation is ridiculous, i want to be able to sell it on when im done.
