There is more panel-misalignment on the left, but the particularly photogenic surface explosion ended up at the right end. I think it's one of those physics things. It would be cool to see the high-res super-slow-motion replay. (And one day, I will. Mmm, Playstation 3.) Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, unfortunately the bit I most need to get hit is that munted front guard. I figure next time I'll keep an eye out and when I see someone zeroing in on me I'll do a <em>sick</em> donut on the spot, and totally get some front panel damage.

So did he like swerve to hit just the right side of your bumper? hmm, you gonna be driving down to the mandel? what an ass munch, the guy that hit you… think i got you beat though when that old coot plowed into my car outside noels, i wasn’t even in it.

I'm not so sure 700+ always means what you say, it may well mean "we want more, but don't want to put you off, so we'll say 700 to get you in the door." I think its sold now anyway, it would be (mildly) interesting to find out how much it went for. $400,000 each is 700+ divided by 2 bedrooms (the power of abstraction is vastly underrated, I often use 1 s.f. and rarely more than 2). And finally, it's trendy these days to get a no-deposit mortgage (especially if, like me, you have no money). Hence 750, although I'm sure your thinking is also valid.

What's $400,000 each? Btw, 700k+ just means, "we'll take 700, but we're greedy, so if you want to give us more, we'll be happy to take it off your hands." I guess it all depends how much demand there is for the property. I find it hard to believe there would be that much at the moment. So, it would seem unlikely that your mortgage would be $750k. Especially since you're likely to need a 5% deposit which would be a wopping $35,000. So more likey $665,000. So it drops dramatically to $1068.35 a week. You should be able to handle that right?
