Out with the old, in the with the new

2007-12-09T17:10:05Z

After months of thinking about it, we headed out to Major World in Queens last night on the spur of the moment and two hours later drove off with a 2006 Mazda 3 with only 26k miles on it. It's a little smaller than our previous car (see below) an...

Evel Dead

2007-11-30T23:51:16Z
