I don't know about the convertible but the normal ones are the most unsafe feeling shitboxes ever! I would rather drive a micra than one of them and I like Ford, just not the Ka.

Test drove a normal one today and it felt fine, but I can see how you would feel like that. It's very much a go cart with a roof feeling, I don't think that's such a bad thing for a for a first car though. I figure they can't be a complete death trap if they made them till 2008 or something. Micra is also on the list though, a nice looking '03 new shape one got sold before we could see it today.

I had a college coworker who had a Mrs Robinson thing going on with a mutual friend's mother. It was definitely awkward.

I have sleep problems and stopped drinking regular coffee; I still sometimes have a glass of ice tea or a soda at lunch, but that's it. It's amazing how sensitive I've become to the stuff since scaling back.

Serious answer you learn to find tools in a pile pn the top of the box and try to lump bolts in piles approximating where they came out and hope for the best and thank god that your hands remember what your mind cant.

Boiling coffee, or "cowboy coffee" is the only good way to make it anyway, and they only serve drip brew at any place I've ever been to (Starbucks or otherwise).
