Writing reviews would be very boring otherwise. Of course I only do this for a small percentage of the books or I wouldn't get anything done, but it's fun. * edmunds.com was a very good site for you to do your research - I always go there when I'm considering a new car.

I really love that you engaged with the characters enough to think through this level of detail! :) * Before choosing which car I thought Greg might drive, I went to edmunds.com and read about a bunch of convertibles. I made sure the Sebring offered leather seats, for example. I think you're right that he's the type who would drive stick (*eyebrow waggle*), and the crash indicates that he did indeed find that very tricky. It's also yet another way he'd need to rely on Kip for the next few weeks -- if the ankle itself didn't preclude clutch driving, the cast certainly would! I happily imagine them carpooling from that point forward. :) Hi Wave!

Of course there was no indication whether the car had a manual transmission but I would think that's possible because somehow I can't see Greg driving an automatic sports car.:-D Hi Janey
I really enjoyed TLC 101!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) * Many things I write about I haven't experienced personally (for example, I've never jumped out of an airplane) but I did drive on what turned out to be a badly sprained ankle -- so bad that an orthopedist took a bunch of x-rays because he thought there had to be a broken bone in there somewhere. I fell down steps as I was leaving for the airport to pick up my parents. It was my right foot, so pressing the accelerator and brake hurt like hell, but I didn't have any way to reach my folks to tell them what had happened, and I didn't want to worry them or leave them stranded, so off I went. Looking back on it, WOW was that dumb. What was I thinking?!? Let's assume pain addled my brain. ;) Thanks, Wave, for reading and reviewing TLC 101! I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)

Both characters are likable and the storyline is not outlandish, except for a couple of things that I mentioned in the review. Good writing and it's just about 80 pages. Hi Tam

I do like when one of the guys is not a neat-freak, guess we all like characters who are like us. LOL That sounds like a good little story.
