My wife and I just watched Iron Chef on The Food Network. The theme tonight, as one might expect, was Thanksgiving. I've shifted my attitude about the Thanksgiving meal from "who cares?" to "my God, I've got to get some fresh venison and make an over-the-top Thanksgiving feast!"
But none of this moves me as much as I was moved to tears (and rage) today when we tried to take my brother's Mercedes convertible out for a drive with the top down. The top doesn't work. Shit, with a capital 'S'! I cannot believe I have not tried to take the top down for the past umpteen weeks. Today, I tried. Followed the instructions in the owner's manual, and it failed. I'm pissed. It may not be that the guy who sold it to my brother knew...but he may have. When I picked it up, he made a point of telling me I must follow the owner's manual, because if I did not, it could screw up the works. Yet he never opened the convertible.
I need to buy a brand-new BMW convertible, just to check it out to see if it works. If you agree, please send me money....as much as you can spare. Twenty-dollar bills will be gratefully accepted. If you don't have my address, just ask...I'll be glad to accommodate you.

Ditch the BMW. Check out the VW EOS - it might even be a little cheaper. Oh man, is it cool! And it's a hard top and the top does go down!
