Woke up thirty minutes latter than when I normally do. So not used to working on a Friday.
Company cut out hours by eight making us work 4 eight hour days. But we've fallen behind (surprise surprise that cutting hours when running out of metal would cause production slow downs!)
I know it's far more complicated than that,but whole situation reeks of bean counter with clipboard cutting wrong corner.
I mean yeah. You can save money on haircuts via decapitation, but in the long run....
Still craving cuddles and still feeling rather not good.
I just want this day to be over with seriously.

Morning! (well, for about another half an hour here). Today I'm phoning and emailing around after used cars. Let's hope I don't get ripped off...

Oh, careful with Volvos. They are amazing to drive but a fortune in 'maintenance'. But if you can find a solid, rust free sedan or wagon, that runs good I'd be awfully temped. They ride smooth and easy...hop up the engine a bit, and you've already got a built in roll cage (Standard with Moose Proof Windshield, Included)
But bet you will get a red Alfa Romeo roadster, so, who am I to say? Your scarf streaming out at Cannes would be buoyant yet shy of sassy.

Also made it to work early. I guess I was literally a bat out of hell. Starting to understand why my friends call me the getaway driver. Even though it's a 2002 Saturn sc2 with a 5 spd manual I can whip it and make do as I wish.
Just really dislike the over steering on FWD cars. Taking turns at 50 mph is hindered by the wheels desire to go sideways. But letting off the gas and either downshifting out of the turn or putting in the clutch and then letting it out with a push of gas will sling shot the car.
Still wish my 1986 crown Victoria LTD was up and running.( there's three small things I need to address.) I really miss that big comfortable boat. It used to get 23mpg however now the engine in it is more powerful with a cam from a truck (engine is a from a 1994 f-150) So it's either going to be a muscle car or be a perfect cruiser with low end grunt torque allowing for nice low speed cruising with minimal effort. I bet that damn thing will tow anything now.

It's got to take a double bass, camping gear, dog crate and people, and we don't have a whole lot to spend. We're looking at dull, practical Dad cars - the main thing we're seeing locally within our budget are Vauxhall Zafiras around 10 years old.

Not sure if sporty cars are my style. If practicality allowed, I'd go for one of these in a heartbeat though;

Ah I take it Britain? Look for a good shooting brake sedan. There's plenty of decent ones over there. Main thing is making sure what ever you're getting is maintained and look up pattern failures of what you're buying.
Most issues on most cars can be solved by higher quality replacement parts of it is an issue with OEM parts. However keep in mind some whips have design oversights and blantent design flaws.
For example my Saturn sc2 has a diff pin that has a tendency to pop out under stress. I bought my car because the sucker came welded and the guy had pictures to back up the work he said was done.

Morris Minors are lovely. People film a lot of period dramas around where I live, and those pop up once in a while.Not sure if sporty cars are my style. If practicality allowed, I'd go for one of these in a heartbeat though;
Mind you, it was even better a couple of weeks back. Horse drawn carriages.
You don’t fancy buying one of them instead do you? That would be great.

Or one of those Nissan QashQai (sp) things?
Sorry, I’m a bit rubbish at recommending cars. I don’t own one. Where I live there’s nowhere to park it, so I don’t bother. Although saying that, I did hire a Skoda Octavia a few years ago that was surprisingly good and roomy. Might be worth a look.

Ooooh, they were nice.
Me, I just had a 1979 Datsun B210, very plain dark blue, first car. 16. But I was small, and ya could fold down the seats, and park. So the features were what I wanted, then. : )

Japanese cars of that era always make the think of these PIL lyrics. I'm going to have that in my head all day now. Hope things go better for me than the protagonist in the song though...

They definitely were, but now not so much. It happens over 30+ years though.
B210s are sweet. They didn't get much love, though so you never see them or 610s these days. 510s are still hanging around but they've gotten expensive :/

Looks fine or even luxury from the front but I really hate design of back of this car, it's just ugly.
