(2,409 posts)8. I knew a woman who lived in London in the 1970s.
I worked with her for several years. She and her husband and family lived there for a few years while he was there working for Time magazine. She said they never owned a car while they lived there. She said every once in a while they would rent a car for a day or two and drive out into the English countryside and explore. She said they sometimes drove to Stonehenge and spread towels/blankets out on the stones and had picnics there. Can't do that any more; Stonehenge is shut off now to tourists except for guided tours. I visited Stonehenge myself in the late 1990s; they have a path around it but you can't approach the stones themselves closer than 10 or 12 feet. Still, an amazing place. Sorry about getting off on that tangent.

We lease a new car. When the lease is up, we go into the dealership and lease another one.

Christina is from California, so the "Valley Girl" characterization makes sense.

A gorgeous woman, by today's plastic standards, but not someone I'd ever want to meet.

I don't consider this a little thing, but my biggest peeve is LED headlights that nearly blind you.
