Avabeth, don’t worry. In a few years you’ll be able to sell that Kia and move up to a car that is measured in horsepower instead of donkeypower. I hear the re-sell value of Kias is right up there with Toyotas.

This is the joke thread, right?

> And hijacking my own thread, but I did a doubletake at your name - my sweet Isabella cat died a month ago, and we used to call her Izzybella, or Izzy, for short. So your screen name gave me a bit of wistful nostalgia over my girl - even a month later, I still miss her like crazy. Great username to choose:).

Thanks! It’s a spin off my own name, which is why I chose it. Glad I could bring you a happy cat memory! Returning you to your regularly scheduled Kia bashing now.
