1 Did you mean to reference the WSJ piece "Make Up Your Own Mine" again? Going back to the mine once too often? We can guess what you DID mean to show us. . . The new 2008 Chrysler Sunset Boulevard edition of the PT Cruiser? With "Sunset Crystal" bronze paint, a standard moon roof and chrome accents? A spare and, perhaps, companion to your Bitchin' Surf Wagon?

2 Aha! As soon as I logged in today and saw that you'd responded, I thought, "bet I screwed up another link." I was soooooo tired last night--but in the good way (working hard at something I do reasonably well). As for the Cruiser, I'm not sure what I'd want in a backup, other than: (1) a manual transmission, and (2) probably a solid color (purple, white, or that metallic tan). I might go up a level on the stereo as well. Of course, there's something to be said for retro-mobile cross-comparisons, so the temptation would be to get an HHR. I've decided that the ultimate customization of my Cruiser would involve replacing the faux wood panels with real ones, like the very early surf wagons actually had.

3 Minus the termites and carpenter ants, of course. Considering the HHR(Heritage High Roof)and the PT Cruiser share the same "father", Bryan Nesbitt, I'd feel a little creepy about those two getting together. Like I did when Angelina and her brother Frenched at the Oscars, pre-Brad.

4 What if they assure me that their friendship is purely platonic?

5 Well then, words always trump filmed actions in my book. Still. I know they make car "bras"...wonder if they have suitable protection for all their relevant parts? And yes, I'm still talking (and thinking) about Angelina.
