Is that a pacifier?

I'm going with that being a pacifier.

I'm about to pay $2500 to rent a car for 10 weeks.

Why?

But this reminds me of old Top Gear contests where they did road trips with whatever cars they could get for like 1,200 or whatever.

We only have one car, but for 10 weeks we need two. This is going to be the way to do that that costs the least, and comes with the least amount of maintenance burden. Plus, if I decide midway through we want a different car, I can do that at no additional cost!

It actually kind of blows, because I don't really need a car for 10 weeks straight. I need a car for exactly 6 round trips, varying from 60 to 682 miles one-way. But because nothing is near anything here, it's more practical to just have the car sitting around idle than it is to constantly detour to the nearest rental place.

It kills me because if we could just rent on the days I need to go from A to B, it'd only be $480.

I know goons like to :actually:, so maybe somebody can come up with a better option for me.

* Sep 29: Silver City, NM to Lamy, NM (or Albuquerque if necessary)
* Oct 8: Back to Silver City, NM
* Oct 23: Los Alamos, NM to Santa Fe Regional Airport
* Oct 24: Back to Silver City
* Nov 10: Silver City to Denver (or El Paso airport or Albuquerque airport, if necessary)
* Nov 17: Back to Silver City

Note: I have no way to get from Silver City to anywhere, if I haven't rented a car.

Try looking at the u haul pickup trucks. $20/day plus $.69/mile and they should be in all those places.

comedy option: you can have my car for 10 weeks for $2k

Moving isn't the problem, I can move just fine. The issue is that I can't move fast enough to get where I need to be in time!

Anyway, yesterday we went car shopping at the lot where citizens can put their cars out to do private party sales. We saw:

  • A 2012 Prius that had clearly been rear-ended, paint peeling, 160k miles. $12,500
  • A Chevrolet Super Sport, no paint (only primer), no engine, unknown miles. $10,000
  • A Honda Odyssey, 60k miles, new tires, leather seats. $6,500

Thinkin' about that minivan...

Been thinking about repainting my car. I'd like to get a dragon down the side, that would be rad.

Only problem is, I can't draw a dragon.

Get a good graphic on the side of a dragon loving the same model of car. Then replace your garage with a huge dragon statue to back your car into.
Neighbours will hate the car with a pic of a dragon loving it, until the car parks where a huge dragon is loving it... new levels of anger will be achieved.

or get like a decent artist to do something and find a good shop that can do paint or a vinyl. I'm pretty sure a good dragon has never hosed up asthetics of a car.

Would not dual-monocle be about like pince-nez? Really though, the dopest style of glasses... in respect to AI, maybe instead of arms to the ears they could have an engine piece to connect frames and the flared out exhaust on the sides of the frames. I kinda think I'd rock that shiz daily.
