Yeah
So I could not stay up to watch Eleventh Hour last night. I just watched it on TIVO and got to see Brooklyn. She was cut out of the first scene. 2nd scene you could see her perfect and the third you could see her too.
Love the Yaris ... This is exactly what we got DS Dylan for him to drive , though I have put alot of miles on it too ...LOL
Here he is on a proud day for him , me too but its sign I am getting older
DH got Andrew, my son an Echo which at one time took $18 dollars to fill up. The car was put in storage when he moved out. That Echo will now be passed on to DD who's been been driving us absolutely
to get her driver's license. I wanted her to drive the Saturn Ion which DD just left behind but I talked her into the Echo. Its a bit "heavier" than the Saturn and while both are 4 cyclinder, the Echo is a bit more jazzed up due to her brother having tricked it out - what with the TV, tinted window and body kit. Now that I think about it - 
- maybe I should make her drive the Saturn. Dylans is no frills as well, Manual transmission , manual door locks , also roll down windows , he does have AC and Radio ..LOL But we wanted to make sure he was driving , and not texting on his phone or talking on the phone and driving , hence the reason why its a manual tranny ... Makes him have to think and drive , unlike an auto tannyTo me an automatic is like being a passenger with a steering wheel
This reminds me of a story - DS deliberately bought a stick when he bought his new Scion (which he has since tricked out and has come in 3, 2 and 1 in a local car club contest) anyway, the one ones who know how to drive stick are my son and myself. Anywho, Andrew, constantly freaks me out when I lend him my car by saying he's been hit (I have a GL550 that was tricked out by Brabus) so when we dropped him off to pick up his car, his old car, an Eclipse, was stick. I hadn't driven a stick in years, so I get behind the wheel, he's outside looking at me and I'm hesitating. He asks? What's wrong? I say nothing and as he starts to walk away, I roll the window down and call him back to ask him
:...............Andrew? Which one is clutch and which one is the brake? 
OMG! I about pee'd my pants at the look on his face
He about tore his hair out (all 1 inch of it) and ran yelling over to the car and yanked the door open and told me to get out - he'd leave the car at the dealership overnight. I laughed and drove off (without stalling the car THANK GOD! ) But let me tell you - that moment was priceless! 
Mean, I know but heck - he did it to me with my new baby. So as I've always warned my kids - turnabout is fair play. 
BTW, Cpt - April wants to know if he'll be attending the meet in March?
transmission (and do drive one) but they are getting harder and harder to find in the U.S.
They are and according to the dealership most are sold to young men - wonder why!
We got DD #2 a laptop for Christmas at 
We are doing a land/sea package then an additional 16 days in FL. Already told the girls that the vacation is pretty much Christmas this year. I am not going to stress this year about what's under or not under the Christmas tree.

Sounds like you had a great day.
I had a messed up day that turned out for the better. There were thousands of people getting into Cypress Gardens for the $5.00 day and imagine if Disney did that but only had 2 cars for Space Mountain running and 2 for Splash Mountain - can you imagine the lines - and I am NOT exaggerating. It was unbelievable. They had a raft ride with only one raft!!! I felt like screaming. I guess you get what you pay for - it was $5.00 and I expected Disney service - shame on me. How does everybody feel about key lime for a candy treat????
. Maybe we should all wear name tags the first few days to help the memory
