Was it your choice or Anjaâ€™s? Better question yet! would the lotto win car be your choice or Anjaâ€™s.

Well, they were kinda lame. Doesn’t give off the right impression to passengers in my car.

“What, thatâ€™s the first time ever I hear anybody say itâ€™s easy to get a test drive in Finland. Unless you look like youâ€™re absolutely loaded.”

Last time I test drived a car, seller did not even ask my ID or drivers licence. But from my own experience, there is usually maybe 10 l gas in tank so test drives can’t be so long.

Phil, wasnâ€™t your car the pimp mobile? When you bought it, it had titty speedo dials and neons lights for the interior?

Yeahhh….they’re gone now.

They have a monopoly over gambling here, so Finns are not allowed to gamble abroad. Well, in the days of the internet this is not exactly true, but foreign betting may not be physically done in Finland (nor advertised etc.) so Finns do not know EuroMillions exist. And the Eduskunta would probably tax the poor bastard that won 60% anyways.

In the UK, you can test drive a Opal (Vauxhall) VX220 for THREE days.

Talking about the lotto, why is Finland not a participating country in EuroMillions, Europe’s version of Powerball? Perhaps the Eduskunta don’t like the idea of someone getting 113 million euros all at once, with taxing it.

Are there any car dealers at the airport?

Wonder if they’d allow a ‘one way test drive?’
