The Ford Aspire was rated lowly by Consumer Reports. I won't miss this rebadged Kia.

Staying the night near the California-Oregon border,

Well, I had one when I was in Japan, and it was a great car for getting around, and very good fuel economy, too. I wanted to bring it back to the U.S. with me... I thought it would've been pretty neat to have a Ford car in the U.S. with the steering wheel on the right side of the car. Unfortunately, by the time I got my orders to transfer here, I didn't have enough time left to get all the paperwork done to bring the car back with me.

Ah, a car with which you've had an emotional attachment. I could say the same thing for my fancying a Reliant Robin or an Amphicar.

Still in Portland, Oregon until tomorrow,

Nah, I wouldn't say I had an emotional attachment to that car... It was just a good "getaround" car.

The most "fun" car I ever had was a 1988 Honda Prelude... That was also in Japan. And the 1997 Volkswagen Golf I had back in '97 in Bremerton, Washington, was also good.
