I say a mini van is better, more room than a station wagon. Also a station wagon dosn't have a trunk either so stuff will still be rolling around in back.

Kris, I refer you to one of my earlier comments. When you were talking about the little mans adverse reaction to riding in Slowsky because of the smell from things like milk being spilled on the floor.
The Honda Element with its rubber lined floor, you can just wash it out. Also the fold away seats for maximum garage sale item stuffing.

Also do not sweat your attire when shopping at a luxury car dealer. I have dealt with a few Mercedes and BMW dealers and most of the time I was wearing sweat pants and a T-shirt. They treated me perfectly every time.

I'm with you Russell on the treatment at the dealer . . . however, in this case, as I laugh while typing this, Betsy looked super tore up with her one stem glasses and stained jogging pants.

Kris any chance of recording and posting your EXPO speech?
Just drill holes in the floor of Slowsky and you can hose the ol' girl out. Just dont drill holes over the gas tank, remember the BBQ grill............

Dear Kris & Betsy, I thought I would counter the negative with something positive. My wife and I listen to your show when we exercise and do house cleaning (neither task we do well naturally). Listening to you candidly describe funny, troublesome and/or definitive moments in your life has sparked countless conversations between Helga and I. Great conversations that we needed to have. There are many other great benefits we receive from your labours but I lack Betsy’s talent with written text. I just wanted you to know that your efforts matter, if other to a couple of hicks on the other side of the planet (just past the middle of nowhere). We remain respectfully grateful and subscribed fans.

Sorry Kris. I could have had written more last time, but didn't think anyone cared. What i was going to say was, "Betsy is right. I totally understand where Kris is coming from, though. I see people oogle over their animals and I don't get it - i want to - but they are just different. I met a guy on a blind date who was broken up b/c his cat had cancer. i was like, oh, uh-huh. One day I hope to get it. Like how I understood the oogling over children when i had one of my very own." I am sorry about the all-caps-people, such is the price of fame (hahah). Be glad you're not Paris! Again, something i just don't understand....
