My friend Ginny, who just moved back to Seattle just bought a new car.  It's a very slick ride.   Near mint condition Oriental Blue BMW 323i. 

Sigh...I miss the States...u can get nice cars without having to pay a arm and a leg.  Everyone I know there seem to be driving something nice and has a pretty decent standard of living.  Kinda makes u wonder "what the hell am I doing here in Taiwan" 

I even had brief dreams of moving back to LA when I was visiting and even had my car all picked out....  Check it out .... DROOOLLLL

Well.....I guess its my new challenge now to work harder to be able to afford that car here in Taiwan, even though its like 2X the price here than in the US. 

When the heck is the WTO thing going to make cars cheaper here???
