Car issues

Here in the West, our best car friend is a 2006 Mazda named Mort.  He is friendly, adventurous, and despite being 97(000), has a very youthful spirit.  Unfortunately, last week, some hooligans in Fort Collins decided to vandalize Mort.


Fortunately, there is a great body shop in Fort Collins, and so he's all better.  See?


Just kidding.  That's our humongous rental car for the period while Mort is in the shop.  Its fuel tank probably has a better chance than Lake Champlain of being named the sixth Great Lake.  It also extends my commute time, because people in front of me think it's a police car and slow down.  Anyway, we'll keep you posted on our buddy Mort, and enjoy playing "fake cop" in the meantime.

    Will you be eating more doughnuts as a result of driving this car? Also, I do hope you provide a thorough review of the car after your "trial period"!

      It's even more mind-boggling once you drive it. It's like a time machine back to the 1990s!
