I tried to get into BSG. I really did. But it never grabbed me.

ARe you sure they didn't just want to get around you? Or they might have been bored. If traffic ahead of me is slow in the snow, I'll sometimes drop back and gun it just to break all four loose.

Don't they know how slick that white road paint is? The traffic accidents will do more to save the planet by reducing the number of cars on the road.

Loved that car. I guess that was my first car love. But it wasn't what got me into cars. As far back as I can remember, I've loved cars; and I can remember stuff from when I was 2 or 3. Even back then, I was playing with cars, building them from tinker toys, and even trying to "fix" one with an oversized fisher price screwdriver. Before I was born, my father had a 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible with the 427 in it. He sold it to get a more practical car when I was born. But if I didn't know it was impossible, I'd say I was concieved in that car. It's the only explanation for why I love cars so much. I always wanted to get him another '67 ray to replace that one.. But I never had the money, and now I'll never have the chance.

Perfect example. I went with a friend to Circuit City on Hilliard Rome to look at TVs since he is remodeling his basement. They had their big going out of business sale, and on the floor they had the exact same TV I have. After the markdown for being a floor model, and the markdown for the going out of business sale, it was 1799. When I bought my TV last year, NewEgg had it for 1799, new. Bestbuy right now has it for 1799, new, then $300 off to make it $1499. It's no wonder they're going out of business if they need a liquidation sale just to MATCH their competitors.

How much do you pay per month now? How much is that after a year? Hell, sell the GTP, and buy a $500-$1000 beater, save the rest. It'll be a piece of shit, but it only has to last a year. (my $900 corolla lasted 4 years!) At the end of the year, you'll have whatever you saved from the sale, plus one year's of car payments. That should be one big chunk of change to put down on whatever car you want.

Their prices were a joke too. Even with their Closing Sale and 30% off and such, they were the same price or more expensive than Best Buy. Freakin' joke.

CL the fucker and take the money and buy a cheap reliable beater outright. Save up while you drive it and down the road get yourself another fun car. If car doesn't do it's job, it's junk. Foist it off on some stranger and get what money you can out of it.

What's really depressing, is that he got more replies in 24 hours than I got in months when I tried Match.com. Maybe I should kill myself.. Or at least have a horse cock grafted onto myself.

Yeah, just a little slant there. I'm pretty sure they make a new limo for each new president. I don't see the issue there. And if you don't think this is going to be a record turnout for an inauguration, you're fooling yourself. And this is DC we're talking about. Not exactly the friendliest city. Might I also point out that it was Bush that declared the state of emergency. From the article: So let's be real, people. It's not just the dems that are spending. I know a lot of you find "CHANGE!" so annoying, but please realize that the petty sniping is just as annoying and child-like.

You can't possibly think the downward spiral starts with Obama, do you?

It's warming up! My thermometer went from -0 to 0 in the last hour! (Actually, it reads in thents of a degree, so it went from -0.5 to 0.4. But -0 is so much more amusing.) EDIT: crap, it's going back down. Right after I posted this, it went to 0.2. We're headed for another ice age!

Really? I know they are illegal in MA. Probably because if you slip, you're likely going to puncture something.. But if they're legal in OH, I getting one again.. My old balisong was so handy.

He has some gorgeous balisongs. I assume balisong knives are illegal in OH though. I really want one again.

No rally, but they do air the F1 season Live. Last year they did Friday practice, Saturday Qualifying, and then the race sunday, with a re-air of the race later in the week. Practice is kinda Meh... Good for hearing about any drama from the previous event, and seeing any new developments.. Qualifying is great. Lots of strategy and it's just cool shouting "PUSH! PUSH!" at your favorite driver. The race is good too. Though I hear last season was a but iof an abberation with everything that went on. BUt it was a great season. This upcoming season sees a LOT of changes to the cars, so it'll be interesting to watch and see how the teams will react.

Agreed.

So what do you feel is "fun" now?

What insurance company does your experience recommend?

Nope, it's just being a tempermental bitch. Once it shuts off it doesn't want to turn back on if I have the emergency heat switch on.

-0 by my thermometer.. And I think my heat might have just died...

I would love to have a rat rod. The idea of an old-school hotrod that you can beat on is great. Not to mention they just look cool. I'd love to build one. But I lack the donor car... the shop... tools and equipment... etc. Damn, those are so cool...

..is half the equasion. Just as trap speed isn't the whole story in a drag race.
