I recently moved to Fairfax, VA, and I have tons of questions about the area. For the sake of organization, I'll ask these questions first and shoot out a second post in the future. Also, know that I've already researched some of these questions on Yelp, Chowhound and the like, but I trust MF much more.

My car was totaled, (totally not my fault) and I'm in the market for a newer car (yipee!). I was in a 2003 Mercury Sable and found it was too much car for me, now I'm leaning towards a coupe or smaller hatchback. Help me decide!

Meeting up with a friend in Marseille and taking the car down to the Pyrenées for a few days of fun and relaxation (aka vacation). Have never been to Andorra before, nor this region.
We're keen on both gastronomic (local food and wine) and bodily pleasures (spa's, massage), which are much needed since we're both in the software development line of work.

Can anyone recommend good clubs in Japan (especially Tokyo) that play music that would appeal to your typical
