I've said countless times how cars really don't rank high on my list of things that I really care about. Sure I could afford a BMW, but why would I want one, etc.
But the gadget geek in me of course thinks that the Prius is cool. I mean, it's like a video game where you try to get the most out of your gas tank, and that's something I care about too. That would at least be practical.
But then yesterday, I saw a convertible Mini, and I just about went gooey over it. Talk about something totally not practical, and not cheap either. Similar gas mileage to my Corolla, but that's still more of a toy than anything. And technically, it's sort of a BMW.
See what the fresh air is doing to me?
