It's not quite my ride since it needs a new fuel pump at the moment but it's more photogenic than my Honda.

It's yellow and black and it's a Beemer, what else could it be called but Bumblebeemer?

I just sold it a couple of days ago, so my new ride is going to be my bike (of which I don't have a picture).

So long, and thanks for the speeding tickets.

(I don't go via White City, btw, I just love this picture.)

Then the Docklands Light Railway.

My husband and I are a carpool, and we alternate between this ride (which I think of as the big white couch) and this one.

posted by bearwife 10 September | 10:28

But sometimes when my husband has a day off this is my ride. (Also, as you bunnies already figured out, shots above are stock ones, not our actual cars.)

Most definitely NOT my ride, but one that was parked outside my apartment a couple of years ago

Yup, that's my car. 12 years old, 170,000 miles (all mine) and going strong. If you look at it on Flickr I made helpful notes over each sticker so they're readable. On the side there's a sticker saying CHOOSE SLACK of which I am fond.

This guy has lived on my dashboard for um about six years now? He freaks my aunt out and I have to throw him in the backseat before she will get into the car.

Not my car. Thank the gods.

My son's car after his encounter with a telephone pole. He was unharmed. I will forever be grateful to Buicks.

And quite an awesome car I saw in San Francisco.

My bike (the green one in the middle). I am on this much more than I am in the car.

The Pig War! That was one of my son's favorite books at about age 7 or 8.

The Pig War! That was one of my son's favorite books at about age 7 or 8.

An amazing chapter in our history. Those poor soldiers had been in the Civil War (America) and the Crimean War (Britain) and they wanted no part of further fighting. They were very friendly with one another. The tragedy would have been if a fool in Washington had ordered them to actually go to war.

My sidecar rig, with my husband in the car. It's a 1988 BMW R100GS with a Sputnik car on a Dauntless frame.

This is how I roll. Nissan Moco. Kei-car elegance.

My other ride is a generic bicycle with a three-speed hub-gear, a basket, a dynamo light, AND a bell, standard. I love it so.
