That's what I was guessing! I don't like that loc. At least not the way it's shown there. I like to have the vehicle moving into the frame, not on it's way out, with so much going on with the other (left in this case) side of the picture. Also, too much pic for the car to be the "star" of the shot.

Playing card pushups... Sounds like a butt kicker to me! I think tonight is just going to be a nice brisk walk around the parking lot at Kroger before and one after I pick up a few things.

How would we measure results? We would be at different starting points, for sure, as I am in COUCH mode right now. I'll be doing the couch to 5k thing, I think. EXACTLY where I am. My weight is NOT an issue, at least not by more then 5 or 10 pounds. My problem is that I am WAY out of shape, and my cholesterol is a little bit high, the doctor says I need exercise..... DUH!!! Now tell me something I don't know! My other thing is that I just feel like crap all the time, lethargic, lazy, something like that. I know that exercise will help. I was going to start tonight on the c25k, still might even, but some home "issues" slowed me down a bit, right now. I might just go for a decent, brisk walk.

It would be AWESOME if civvie banks would do the check scanning thing! I was always jealous of Chev when I had to make about an hour round trip just to deposit my paycheck, and he just went home and did it! We now have a bank that I deal with in town, and they also have the scanning ATM's.

I saw a couple run out in the field behind the shop earlier, right after someone took a couple shots. Nice BIG buck, and a doe.

Well, having a bike is the point of the site, yes. At least she has had a bike when she was actively participating. There have been more than a couple groupies and/or wannabees around here, too.

THAT SUX!!! I have a tough time with getting going before 8am! Sounds about like what I should be doing. I may have to copycat!

Stuff is only funny for so long.... Although, I never did want to see the Budweiser frogs go away....

Sounds about like my Interceptor, although I haven't had the urge, or need to run it up that fast. I'm not that comfortable with the brakes and suspension, so 85 or so is enough for me.

Or bring the original thread back to life... Search button usually works well for me. BTW... Welcome back! Having a bike is NOT a requirement around here, you can still participate!

It's still brand recognition. I'm willing to bet that you are in the minority on this, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I am also annoyed by the commercials, especially the repetition, but repetition is KING in advertising and marketing! I can't say 100%, but their marketing is aa big part of what made me quote my insurance with them.

Some options you may not want to ever use! Most of the "Auto" crap on my Canon has never been used.

Come on now, Flo is HOT! Ya know, with her tricked out name tag and all. It's all about marketing man, it obviously made you remember Progressive, even if you have a negative view of them. They ALL spend money on marketing, just some are more creative and noticeable.

Better?

Ah, yes. The American Dream. I debt up to your ears, and living from paycheck to paycheck to make the payments. NOT for me anymore!

Bike > cage, except for the winter time, then it's keep the clunker going to get you to riding season again.....

At that rate, I'd put it into something that would MAKE money with it, not a car or bike that will LOSE value. Just my opinion though, and we all know how THOSE are!

Nice try! It has actually gone back OT a couple times!

Kids would've been funny though, no matter HOW illegal...

WOW! It's a bad idea to invest borrowed money, but at that rate, I don't know that you could turn that much down, when you can pay for the interest by simply putting the money in a savings account, not to mention a decent performing mutual fund....

Typical car repairs for a year, around $1000-1500. Compare that to a car payment. The money you save vs. a car payment and you could have a better car next year with the money you save. Why spend money you don't have, to buy things you don't need, to impress people you don't like?

I'm sure that's not a first for Jagz..... Probably no the last time, either! (I can't argue with him on his comment though)

Kids?

NOW we need pics to prove otherwise! MJ is a girl, right? Fonz calls her a dude, so maybe not?

Cash is KING! Wht borrow money from a financial institution at say 5%, when they' give you MAYBE 2% to deposit money (that they'll use for other loans to other people) into their institution?
