I think bad drivers typically buy silver cars. They're probably all automatics, too.

I keep telling you, titanium is French for awesomely coloured car!

Its all those Titanium (freanch for Silver) cars crashing in our perfect V-Red cars!


Besides those stats are flawed because Cursed Silver and French Titanium Silver are really the same thing...therefore they are miles ahead in the crash department.


Try to justify it all you want but them cars a cursed!!! :D :p :p :p :p

Oh, it is. Rotten, however, is severely impaired in his ability to make any good sense when it comes to this topic. Please excuse him. We're doing the best we can with him at the moment and he's made great strides in some areas. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. He's a VR owner. I'm sure that explains alot.

I think the phrase "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah" comes to mind.

So I'll just continue to take you with a grain of salt.......and out of context:

"French Titanium Silver are really the same thing...therefore they are miles ahead"

Thank you, Rotten!
:D

NO...NO...I'm right. Titanium IS French for Silver.....besides when has an American listen to what a French guy has to say anyway. :D ....Phee is obvious that you have Red Mica envy. It’s totally understandable. The sooner you admit that you should have bought a Velocity Red car, the sooner you can get on with living again.

Why thank you, your choice is quite excellent too, if I don't say so.

I just noticed you wrote "colour"...is that out of respect for my Canadianism?

You just keep telling yourself that, hun. It's okay. Whatever you want to believe, I support your efforts, even if they are full of.......stuff.

*slugs Rotten for good measure*

Oh, no, thank YOU!

Actually, I took a liking to the more "European" way of spelling some words after reading letters from my aunt as a kid (my dad was a Brit), so I decided to use them. Smartly enough, not during class. Besides, I like Canucks. Even Rotten.

I'm no hypocrite...I've never smashed my car....or had somebody hit it.....or have a meteor fall on it...or have men clad only in their wet underwear climb back into my car on a "camping trip". Is that what they call those outlings these days? :D

Still can't get used to the 'ae' combinations in spelling, though.

I want to know when you go "camping" again. It sounds like something for those of us with a voyeuristic streak who would be entertained by a more personalized version of oh, say, "Half-Baked" or "Without a Paddle". And I could charge admission!

^ Not so...I keep challenging you to take a picture of a "girl" on your camping trips instead of guys frolicking in mountain lakes in their underwear....WTF were you thinking by posting a picture like that? :D

^ that's right, you have quite a bit of that suicide weather. It may get really cold here in the winters but we still get more sun here than most places in North America. Right now sunset isn't until 10:00pm.
