    Go West Young Man!

    Yep, have already set up a hotmail account so I can still receive email once my roadrunner account is cancelled. Will have to check in via the local library. Am going to try & break the habit of surfing the web at work (unless it's job-related). Found out today that the movers don't have room...

    Go West Young Man!

    Well folks... I'm gonna be out of touch for a while. The movers are coming on monday & tuesday... so wednesday morning, I'm pointing the Lincoln west. Yet another coast to coast jaunt... and there's no better car to make the trip in! "Midas" goes in tomorrow for some new shoes (still on...

    Gr8 Dane joins TX White House

    You lucky dog! Great Danes are awesome. They're so adorably clumsy & lovable... especially as pups. Relatively easy to maintain too with the short coat, & they're the quintessential "couch potato", albeit a BIG, lazy house dog. Only thing that scares me is the whole "bloat" thang, and the...

    Friend got a new car this week

    Are we sure it's a Skyline, & not a clone or "tarted-up" 240SX? Don't want to insult anyone, just curious...

    problems

    ... that's what Click-n-Klack (the Tappett Brothers) said about air pressure one time... for every 10 degrees drop in temperature, you lose something like 1 psi. Of course, they were talking about tire pressure at the time, but same concept...

    Want to upgrade my mk8.

    Yes, the medium gold metallic (paint code BH) is intoxicating... I know all too well... especially when the morning sun hits it from low in the sky & it just GLOWS. Part of me would LOVE to have the ivory interior- except for keeping it clean (I've got the prairie tan). Then again, I only...

    Anybody recognize this?

    Brrr... I'm shivering just looking at those snow pics. Haven't dealt with that kind of climate in a LONG time... and don't really have the desire to. I remember the last time I interviewed for a job up north in the winter... made the mistake of wearing leather-soled shoes. My feet were cold &...

    Mazda6 Wagon

    RE: RE%3A Mazda6 Wagon I'm with Kale on this one... I first saw the new TL when visiting a buddy in Ft. Lauderdale on Thanksgiving weekend. Saw it 3 or 4 times tooling around his condo complex and was absolutely smitten! Had to drop into an Acura dealership to get a better look at one...

    Moving

    Oh, I just GOTTA chime in on this one, since I'm getting ready to move as well. My position was "eliminated" a little over 7 months ago. Since then, I have had a few opportunities come up that were located in Indiana (Ft. Wayne... bleh). All of them asked the same question... "why would you...

    Janet Jackson at Half Time

    JD- nope, you weren't the only one who didn't watch the game. Although, I did surf past at halftime, just in time to witness the "wardrobe malfunction". I love it... what a classic politically-correct term. Too funny.

    THE NEW 2004 CAPRICE SS (IMPALA) *PICS*

    I like it FAR better than the current FWD domestic iteration of the fabled Impala name. Like the look. Would definitely give it consideration, were it to be made available here. Even the original Impala's were not exactly "over the top" in the styling department... I could go for the...

    Barrett-Jackson Auction

    I definitely cringed at some of the prices the cars brought. I mean, I LOVE cars, but to pay over $100k for something like a '69 Camaro or '58 Impala or other muscle car of similar vintage? Sheesh. You've really gotta be a diehard car nut (with deep pockets) to run with that crowd. I guess...

    Ice Storm '04

    I second that... A few years ago, I had a '96 Thunderbird LX sport, which was kept outside. A little snow & ice during the winter, & the cover will freeze to the car. I found this out when trying to sell it. People came to look at it & I could only show them the back half, as the cover was...

    McDonald's "I'm lovin' it"

    RE: McDonald's Reminds me of an incident one of my fraternity brothers had... One of his neighbors used to throw loud, obnoxious parties all night long & keep him awake til the wee hours. He retaliated by buying a record of bagpipe music and playing it full-blast at 6 AM every day.

    Favorite Book????

    I'm with Sleeper on this one... Atlas Shrugged & The Fountainhead are the two best books I've ever read. Went on to read all of her books. ... as for more modern stuff... I used to read a fair amount of James Michener & John Grisham. Don't find much time to read any more...

    Nissan Titan is BADASS!!

    They had a Titan and an Armada on display at the mall during Christmas, so got to see both. Styling-wise, they're beautiful trucks... lots of unique & innovative features- great design work. In my opinion, the only area where Nissan dropped the ball is with the interior plastics & fabrics...

    Tell me you Dont love this Car Interior!! PICS

    "Yup. Road and Track, July 2003, pages 50 & 51. Not very impressive based stricly on looks." ... yea, the purrfect sleeper! Just like that rear-end pic of the mid 80s LTD LX that Moe posted. A VERY deceptive car...
