I drive about five miles a day, and we have the CRV to take on trips. I'd save almost 200 a month on a car payment, and only pay two dollars more a month for insurance. Free maintenance is included too.

Also, gf has had some medical issues. She had a gallbladder attack last week and we have to have her gallbladder out, while looking at x-rays, they found a mass on her liver. I'm waiting at the office right now while she gets her CAT scan. It's been a stressful week. Hopefully it's just benign and nothing major.
Sorry to hear about the GF's medical problems...hopefully nothing.


The MINI Countryman S is the wife's car. Not bad...fun as heck to drive. No major issues...and I live in a climate where the weather is as postal as Trump's rants. So, I would recommend it if you are indeed considering it. What does it come with? There are a few trims...ours has the Nav.

Is that a good price Yummy? I personally don't like MINIs.. every one that I've ridden in has been uncomfortable.
10k miles a year is crap, but if you're barely driving it.. maybe okay.

So there's that to look back and read up on.

Ah shoot...part of the Canada conversion for me. I was thinking in km and not miles. I think there will need to be a check on how much they are asking for MINIs with that mileage down in the States in general.

And yeah, MINIs are not exactly lux-comfy. They are stiff and is more a driver's machine. I mean, you're also talking about smaller people here too. I'm an average height of 5'8" but I'm a stick too. Wife is only 5'4" and so, if you're bigger than that, I would wager you may find it cramped?

Gwai Lo much, el-jeff-eh??

Is noodle soup with meat. All sorts of meat. Meatballs, steak, flank, brisket, chicken, whatever. Usually comes with onion, green onion, cilanto, and a side of bean sprouts, lime, basil, and jalapeno, to add to your liking.

It tits. You should try it. Like taco mentioned, it's great sick food. Like how mama would make (open a can of Campbell's) chicken noodle soup when you had the sniffles? It's that time 100. The soup broth, if made right, is super rich with meat/bone juice from simmering for a long time.

It's like the medical grade 80%, of the soup world.

thanks for the well wishes. She has a consultation with the surgeon on Wednesday..one of the best in the area.

we think her tumor is hormone based, as her lab results seem normal, so we'll see.

Oh okay...so, not the AWD version. I dunno, you may want to see if you can get the AWD variant. But, test drive it and see if you like it. I would also do a price check on what the going rate is.

Keep us posted if you're comfortable with it on how the consult goes with the doctor on Wednesday, bud. Seriously, I wish you guys well.

You are missing out, dude. It's beef broth with a very nice rice noodle. The onions really enrich the flavor but you could order it without...

Absolutely a comfort food for MANY...this includes gwai-ros like you once they have discovered it. I'm lucky enough to get it very regularly because my MiL makes it so often. Almost always has a vat of this or bun bo hue ready whenever we are there to visit.

Thai Pho is your only choice it seems.... succckkks..
Phoking place is a either a thai joint masquerading as a viet joint or vice versa..

Anyways, order a large bowl of rare beef pho. The meat should come on the side. The broth is hot enough to cook the meat.. put meat in bowl.. stir..
Add whatever shit they give you (sprouts, mint, herbs, jalapenos, my guess you won't get any of this shit, you should though).
Don't be a savage like ladiboi and put sriracha and hoison sauce in bowl.. try broth first. If it's shitty, go to town, but really good pho broth is super savory, not to be fucked with.
I mix my sriracha and hoison sauce on the side and dip my meat in it.. (picture me dipping my dick in it).. then gobble it down.. (picture me s'ing my d now).
Anyways.. hopefully it's okay.. you live in the fucking armpit of Canada. You poor uncultured swine.

lmfao well saint john was the first incorporated city in Canada therefore its the oldest city, so it is actually very rich in culture, just not asian culture. But in the last 5-10 years the Asian culture has picked up tremendously.

Saint John is more of an industrial city which is very much manipulated by Irving Oil and their interests

When I get a jerb imma fly Jawknee down here Need some help with the TL ......alot of ppl from bigger cities in the USA absolutely love it here, its a very big tourist spot in the summer

Wow...just did a lookup on Yellowpages.ca and Yelp...and yeah...just 1 restaurant! Well, you can try it there and see if it's any good...It's seriously just a beef broth soup. Very light. Ask for it without onions if you can't stand that stuff.
