Sad how people can't mind their business these days... I had a similar situation at my university residence parking lot a year ago with my truck, (a '90 Sierra 6.2L) I'm loading up the truck box with my belongings when this hippy dippy girl wearing hemp all over and barefoot (I kid you not... I go to a kinda lefty, liberal school with aging hippies and young ones ) and her granola boyfriend pass by. Without my making any eye contact whatsoever to either of them, she comes up and states that my "Gas Guzzler" is detrimental for the environment and wastes resources. She points to her late model Civic hatch (she drives her b.f. around ) and looks at me as if I'm stupid and says that her car is more efficient and "sensitive" for the environment. All the while I have this face : After her spiel, it's my turn to rebut. Since I can be Captain Misogyny, I tell her that if she showered and changed clothes, the trees she walked next to wouldn't die; that if she washed her hair, it'd clog storm drains, and that she was a stupid who should mind her own business and invest in Borax because no soap could remove the smell. I also tell her that her guys' B.O. is the reason that banning CFC's still hasn't stopped the Ozone Layer from depleting. I finished with "Make like an endangered species and off" Knowing her guy couldn't take Woody Allen in a fistfight and she was pretty baked, I just stood there waiting for a reply. They leave to her car, and I go back to my business, they way it should have been. If Irony comes in play here, it's when I overhear her saying that there's not enough space to fit all their stuff and that they'll have to do two trips, thus wasting more fuel and adding more pollution that I would.

So... should I bring a case of whiskey to jumpstart their free will?

That'll be the same day Twinkies expire.

So... how about we all meet at a Starbucks at Wall Street, gab, chat, have a meet and greet, and then grab some torches and pitchforks, ruin the place, and then head to each office building and heckle every advisor and analysts who figured that GM should be dead 3 months ago. Honestly, I really didn't understand why people thought GM would be gone. I can bring a couple tiki torches and an axe if need be.

Governator

Screw you guys, I'll totally one up you with this offer. One Ultra Rare Shiny "Team Rocket Charizard" and a shiny "Mewtwo" And maybe my Dad's Mickey Mantle. That's like 30 thousand right there.

sack?

Interesting you bring this up. I try to be curteous to all drivers, and really I could care less about the choice of their vehicle because we live in a free market society so they can drive whatever they want. However!... I do exclude Dodge Ram drivers and Ricers from this list. Ricers is just because they like to zip like flies in traffic, and I'd rather slow them down with my truck for the sake of the other drivers (plus it's fun!). From experience, I've noticed Ram drivers, especially those with the HEMI and 20 inch wheels or whatever are very aggressive in traffic and also like to shout, swear and make obscene gestures. I prefer to be behind them...

There's a girl in my area who has the same thing on her BMW 3. She's what we call a JAP... a Jewish American Princess. The worst drivers I've encountered are the ricers with fart cans and K&N filters that have stock exhaust. They are always speeding down the right lane, and then erratcially merge into traffic to avoid parked cars. The look they give you when they almost hit you is priceless, because since they all carry knives, they think that they are totally tough... I got news for you pal... I've got something called a pitching wedge, and it's in my truck bed. :AH-HA_wink: Plus, since I live in Vancouver, signal lights are optional on our vehicles and most people couldn't be bothered to waste one calorie pushing the stalk down. Oh, and red lights mean stop if you want to.

Cool phone It also makes me realize that I am the only person left on North America who DOESN'T have a phone. There are six year old girls running around with them for chrissake...

I really, REALLY don't see this car selling to the tuner crowd like the previous model. The SE-R looks pretty stodgy.

Clay's just waiting for his career to flag... He'll then go on a three month bender, go into rehab, get out, say he "discovered" he's gay, and sell millions!

Not to mention those awesome Tesla Coils in Red Alert. And the band was actually very good. It just got dragged down by a bunch of craptastic bands in the same genre.

Tried once, and it involved tape, and about 4 or 5 sets of chopsticks. Generally speaking, I made a fork OUT of chopsticks to prove my point to everyone in the room. One the other hand, Sporks Rule.

Colonel Sanders

The only other person I have ever heard that phrase from is Nikki Sixx. I use it myself and it should be used by more people more often!

I'm not familiar with the financial options David Lee Roth offers to the public. I think a Hagar IRA will easily pay higher dividends.

Welcome to the 21st Century, where computer technology has advanced in spades and my Gameboy has more tech than an Apollo spacecraft. Considering you are using a computer to enter posts on this board, that means you aren't too averse to technology, and the technology governing the Active Fuel Management is relatively simple in todays world. I'd say if you want a 5.3, go for it, even if it has AFM because it's no V-8-6-4.

Maybe pick up some stock in GM or something. Or sock it away in RRSP's. If you really want to have some fun, maybe buy some Ford stock too! I've worked the past 6 months, amassed over 10 thousand and before I started working, I figured I'd be driving a Camaro by this time. Nope. For some mystical reasons unknown, I only bought an iPod and new headphones with my earnings

We ought to seek this guy out and get him to rejoin... tell him you've all turned new leaves. :AH-HA_wink: Maybe he has some new info, like that 3 wheeled V12 methane Aveo I've heard whispers about. Or maybe he's "knowitall"... both sound equally dillusional.

Wow. This is getting to be a party. I really just hope that Toyota gains some mediocrity from these recalls and loses it's subtle "holier than thou" message. Then maybe I'll regain some respect for them.

foreplay?...?

Mr.Simpson! A Twizzler is not a sprinkle...A Mounds is not a sprinkle...A Jolly Rancher is NOT a sprinkle!!!! By the 7 arms of Visnu, I swear it. I am not a Hindu!
