Well, it was kind of an odd week. We returned from Northeastern Wisconsin only to find I’d had some personal items stolen at work, and that Lisa’s car had been smacked by a moving truck. I’m not bothering to file a report on the missing items–they weren’t worth much, and I don’t think there’s any chance of finding the asshole who decided to take them anyway–but I’m still annoyed by it. As for Lisa’s car, everything is being covered by insurance, but while her Toyota is in the shop she has the most ridiculous rental ever, a bright red Dodge Magnum.

L: I got a new red Dodge Magnum sports wagon, the visibility sucks! http://www.dodge.com/magnum/

M: Red?

L: Yeah, it’s kind of a weird car. I think it has tinted windows too, at least in the back…

M: Nice rims? Hell yeah!

L: Ha! I don’t think I noticed the rims, I was so offended by the cherry red color and the half station wagon/half sports car thing that’s going on. You will probably get a kick out of it. I guess it’s more interesting than the boat I had last time.

M: We need to drive around pimpin tonight.

L: Yeah, we’ll take it to River Falls baby.

M: It’s a good suburban parent mid-life crisis kind of car.

L: Yes and it’s disgusting is what it is. Dodge “Grab life by the horns!”

M: It’ll look great sitting in our driveway in Brooklyn Park.

L: Ewww, gross thought.
