Rod as in connecting rod

Back to the topic at hand, I've seen the same 128i Convertible three times this week and I'm rather smitten by it.

The Smart and Mini are probably only there for motorist assistance, it makes more sense to use a small, efficient car like those instead of the 15 year old Tauruses they use here.

Nope, after I got my promotion we figured we could still save up money while making 2 car payments, so I drive the Prius and the Buick got a new engine but there are a few other thins I need to do to it before getting it back on the road, which sucks because I hate hauling things bikes and kayaks on the roof of the Toyota, they kill my mileage.

As of August of last year, it was 4.4%. Unfortunately, thats the most recent Automotive-Fleet has, they dont have a full 2008 breakdown and its almost June, 2009.

As a fan of GM's vehicles, its fine to bury the garbage in your mind, but as a fan of GM as a whole, one really has to take the garbage into account. Cars like the Ws and Js ARE the reason GM is on the verge of bankruptcy and why their market share has plummeted, and thats why GM cant afford to do things like the G8 ST and Cien.

You're also not part of a generation that grew up with imports that were far better than their domestic counterparts.

And thats GM as an entire generation knows it and why an entire generation wants nothing to do with GM.

She picked it up back in February while I was in Texas. I'm currently grounded from driving it due to a slight mishap with a smoothie. Aren't you old enough to know that its whats on the inside that counts? Especially if its you on the inside?

Incredibly old reference that I wouldn't get if it weren't for Wikipedia

Whose bed did you call him out of? Did you get yourself some Dr. Love? If so, congratulations.

You talk to your doctor about having sex with footwear? Odd.

But if I had to deal with the noise of an ICE, I wouldn't be able to hear NPR while I have sex with my Birkenstocks.

But I make Vroom Vroom noises at the stop lights.

The Grand Prix had an interior that would've been embarassing 20 years ago, plus no headroom in back. The Impala had the same piss poor interior and the nasty, noisy 3400 in a lot of cases. My 2000 Solara had a much more plush interior and smoother drivetrain than stuff GM was peddling 5 years after my car was new. The only advantage for GM was that the 3800 didn't require premium, but that was a small price to pay for that silky-smooth top-end power. There was a Monte Carlo on the lot next to the Solara when I bought it, and it was like night and day, the Toyota was comfortable and modern, the Chevy was ugly and archaic.

I went out for a little bike ride to work off last nights cookout, I went on a gravel trail that I've been riding for years. Somehow I managed to wipe out, even better I did it about 4 miles from civilization. I scraped my knees and elbows and managed to not whack my head on anything, which is always a plus. But my bike took a fair bit of abuse. The rear derailleur is all jacked up and the brake cable snapped, so I had to ride 4 miles back to the car without being able to shift and without rear brakes. It was fantastic. Even better, it started pouring on the way back, so I got to do the last mile in the rain, which at least washed all the blood off.

That one originated on an Audi forum back around 2001, the guy eventually fessed up to it being a hoax.

The Mid-America Street Rod Nationals are this weekend, so the streets of Springfield are flooded with hundreds of pre-1950 hot rods. None of them want to race the Prius at stoplights.

This pic is flawed. The color "Flesh of Christ" is a little bit too...shall we say light. From what I know about melanin, and Von Luschan's Scale, Jesus wouldn't have been Wisconsin White as in the picture, but darker, much darker. Also, it isn't certain dinosaurs were green.

break 1.to smash, split, or divide into parts violently; reduce to pieces or fragments brake 1.a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle or other moving mechanism by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction.

With your luck, you'll get to the county line and your car will break down or something.
