Yeah, I didn't see the talking dead this week, but read the interview a few minutes ago. They would really be playing everyone for her to be making a return. She's gone.

+1 for good deals working with good people. I won't fill out federal forms anywhere else.

Ya, I don't know. 30-30's are like fat chicks with a pretty face. You can't really do much with them and they're expensive to feed.

Well I caved and bought her the car I told her I wouldn't due to price... but I found a 2011 Kia Soul with 35k loaded and got them to throw in a 100k $0 deductible bumper to bumper warranty so everything is covered and I got it for $13,200 so I think I did pretty good based off the other prices I had seen.... and best of all and most important my little princess is happy she has the car she has wanted since they came out and she will be safe.

I have not heard many people actually say they liked Mitt Romney for president. I myself think he would have been one of the best presidents we could have ever had in these times but that's here-nor-there. The impacts of this election are going to change business models and consumer spending dramatically in my opinion. I base this off the face that employers will begin decreasing hours for part time employees to <= 30 hours to avoid the healthcare penalty and employing less than 50 employees. When the 2% payroll tax come back into play Jan 1st this will further have an impact on consumer spending which will further slow the economy. Its simple to see how the election was won, Obama got >80% of the African American vote, 70% of the hispanic vote, ~59% of the millenia vote, etc. The republican need to broaden the changing demographic of voters in this country in order to win. This is hard to do when we have people looking for a hand out everywhere you turn and there's no honor in the working man these days. I will say it wasn't all Bush's fault and I'm not a racist. my statistics come from http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Journal2 but theres other sources that will show you the same information like http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/11/08/us/politics/obama-was-not-as-strong-as-in-2008-but-strong-enough.html Thanks America! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzspsovNvII

Oh and thanks for the +rep everyone....my rep action was getting a bit slow lately, if I had known all I had to do was call someone a fucktard I would have had 2 gold stars long ago.

I'm too lazy too find the actual quote or propely attribute it, but the gist is that Democracy always fails once people realize that they can vote for the government to give them things. It's the beginning of the end of democracy. Not the end of America, but certainly a transition. Candidates are winning by promising to take care of us, and for whatever misguided reason, many Americans are viewing that as a good thing. What I think they fail to fully understand is that, on a scale of 1-10, the government can only provide us with a "3 or 4" level of existence, but we're all free to achieve a 10 on our own. Things start to look a lot like communism when the government is providing for everyone. Everyone will be more equal. Equally poor. yay?

Kia and Hyundai have come a long way in reliability. Still, for a dependable inexpensive first car with good mileage you can't go wrong with a Civic / Corolla / Altima* / Impreza. The Smart is more suited to the smaller European roads. Too many DBs driving in the US who think that having a pickup with the wheelbase of a school bus and the exhaust pipe of a Peterbilt makes them somehow better than those of us who recognize that we only need to drive used 4-cylinder sedans. Although the Smart is safe (pound for pound) than pretty much any other car, it still has to obey Newton's laws. If a Diesel Dually Douche crashed into you then the passenger compartment is gonna hold up better than most cars, but the acceleration forces caused by the size disparity between a Smart and the compensatory truck is going to be very dangerous. The only way to be relatively safe is drive a vehicle with more mass, so eventually if we keep going in the direction of "bigger is better" (A uniquely American concept that covers houses, cars and waistlines etc) then we'll all be driving around in Mack trucks. Yes I was a D*ck there because I care about everyone who drives normal cars in and around DBs who can't disassociate the size of their vehicle from their life worth. *Tbut will disagree with this and tell you how unreliable his has been. I'd prespond that my MIL has driven a couple of Altimas for years, and my Maxima was ultra reliable for 7 years despite being a 140k car that was 11 years old when I sold it.
