Other than the normal car or truck I would really like to try driving a dark blue BMW Z3 with James Bond sitting in the passenger seat beside me.
MR Rdslots has a little red one, black interior, black top. His midlife crisis car, as he calls it, and fortunately for me, I'm the gal it came with -- or who goes in it -- and not some younger model of a brunette. As for my desire for driving one, I want it to be blue like the one Bond, James Bond, introduced several years back in *whichever* movie in the Bond series it was.
My husband is particularly fond of BMW, and has spoiled me, I'll admit, surrounding my behind in 'fine, Corinthian leather.' That of a 325 first, then a station wagon that he detested because of all of the connotations that came with it, and then with the ultimate of the ultimate driving machine, a beautiful 7 series sedan. I have had the nerve to whine over how the wagon was me; the sedan is not.
So, we're standing in the dealer's showroom the year BMW introduces Bond's little Z3, and there it sits on the floor, beckoning. I walk over to it, and a 5 series wagon, and the newest version of the 7 series sedan. My car had a check-up, and we're waiting for the fellow to bring it 'round.
"Honey," I say, and motion to him to join me at the side of the sedan, where we peer through the windows. "What does this car say?" He looks at me, knowing I'll tell him. "It says, loud and clear, some man's wife." I walk over to the wagon, and ask, "And what does this one say? Mom. No doubt about it."
Sashaying over to the little two-seater, I open the door, and lower myself into the leather bucket seat, placing one hand on the steering wheel, the other on the gear-shift near my hip. I give him a big smile, and ask, "And what does this say?"
He doesn't skip a beat. "That's what I wanna know, Baby. What does that car say?" He is standing there, admiring its sleek lines.
"It says," and I add just a bit of a lilt, and nod of the head, "May be single. Inquire within."
MR Rdslots frowns. "Hmpfff. . . you can forget about that one."
This many years later, and he has a little fire-engine red one. Didn't worry me one bit that it might be saying, "May be single. Inquire within." It has, just like he says, mid-life crisis written all over it. All I need to get done at this point is have my initials monogrammed in hot pink, about 16" height, across the top of the passenger-side seat.
I'm good-to-go until I can trade that sedan in on a blue BMW Z3. Anyone have Bond's cell number? or M's office number?
I am driving 55 miles south to my favorite "Real Bagel" place. I am happy to see such dedication in the younger generation...

Other than the normal car or truck I miss the feel of a semi, all the pretty (and not-so-pretty) sights in long haul. Been thinking a lot about going back to OTR too, if these cutting hours keeps up.
I buy only the kosher hot dogs, thoes other 'cheaper' ones feel rubbery and the taste is 'phew-ie yuk'!
I highly doubt youd find me at some really formal high class office party, I prefer the more casual comfortable 'be yourself' parties.
