Well, in return for teaching her how to handle :manuel: she should teach you how to fly. :pftch:
:iswydt:


I'm not letting her teach me to fly, until she learns how to land.
:impressive:

Amazing Anal shop pic. !

That said of course not, this is a vehicle that has a far better marque, way more power style and prensence, and 2x the price tag :hubba: :hubba: . I hope you really put it through the paces and enjoy your weekend :hubba:

Impressions would be good also, I am curious about the ride quality/noise levels and refinement levels of this vehicle compared to the m2.

:tits: I think. She probably wanted to drive the new car too.
The real reason :manuel: is dead. :tits:

That's the only reason I have a slushomatic and probably won't get another :manuel: unless we get a 3 car garage someday.

Interesting. It seems you are technically paying more in the initial mileage cap (1.33 euros per km) than the “overage” fee of 1 euros per km afternoon you exceed 600km.

Any fucking thing. Whenever I rent I quote at least 4 options and take the cheapest.

Most recently was $93 for 1 day from ELM to LEX, and $277 for 2 days from LEX to ELM after discounts from Avis.

No, it was NOT cheaper to rent from non-airport locations, I checked every single one within about an hour of each airport and they were all more expensive with more restrictive hours from pickup/return.
