Lifted, loosened, lowered, tightened . . . . and OMG these things settled. Parking curbs are a threat now. The underground garage at work . . . .gotta take that one slow and at an angle. At least the speed bumps around town are mild.


Anyone remember the Rosa's drive last year? Someone drove it in a stolen car, bottomed out causing sparks, and cought the hills on fire. ( crashed into a rock later ) That was one of my favorite runs . . . cool ranch houses . . . huge oak trees . . creeks . . all turned to charcoal now.

Sharp lowered the prices on their Aquos line of LCD tv's. the aquos line has the highest mark and would've been my first choice way back when except back then they were like 4 or 5 grand for a 40"+

i guess i can daydream... the 2008 bmw m3 is looking more and more enticing with each passing day.
I am very impressed with the interior on teh 8. Rattles, those come to any car. Frustrating, dissapointing, yes...but to be expected.

If you want to see some crappy interior, check out a 350z, an audi tt, or a Chrysler crossfire. Reason I bring those examples up is that those were the ones that stuck out at one fo those things you go to to get a free 50 bucks. I was asked to rate several cars on a 1-5 scale, interior being one of them....and the z, tt, and crossfire were the lowest on my list. They looked really cheap.

Now, with that being said....I love the two toned leather, and everyone makes comments on it...but the leather i very cheap feeling, almost like vinyl...and that bumpy junk, what is that really all about. It would have been a lot better without that.

It would most likely need to be a Sunday or Monday evening...since those are the two days Jessie has off of work.

On another note, it sure would be nice if Michael accepted my friend request....maybe then he would be interested in picking up one of the remaining cars and then we could have 6.

If I could ever get Denward hooked into Xbox...or maybe Jedi or Beagle...we may even be able to get a room of 8 people.

Heck, I'm giving cars away for free now...even paying people to race with me and I still can't pull off a full room.

Dude you're funny.
The funny part about that statement is that we have had this conversation before on 4/16/07, right after you switched your's.

Since your coming from Rancho, I know it will be hard for you to admit you live in Fontana, so for a while you'll be calling it "North" Fontana.

Don't worry, my wife still does it after 4 years.
When we're in Vegas and we mention that we're from So Cal it goes something like this.

Person 1: Hey, where do you live in So Cal?
My Wife: Near Rancho Cucamonga.

Oh, that makes sense.
The Tequila Squirts is a reference from our trip to Cabo last month.
I bought a bottle of Tequila for our room, and turns out, I was the only Tequila drinker in the room.
I don't really care to drink margaritas, so I decided to mix the tequila in a blender w/ Squirt. (Actually, it was a fake-Squirt called "First", but Tequila First is not funny )
Hence the drink I invented called the Tequila Squirts, and now, it's also my band name in Guitar Hero 2.

when i saw someone post in the new mazda 6 thread a pictures of the new accord i thought it was a joke. that car is seriously ugly and seriously out for sale next year. poor honda the coupe looks a little better but there are now so many better choices out there then honda as far as looks go. nissan and their altimas models and mazda with its 6 should do quite well. we all know camry is set for a while.

yeah, Honda has a great following BUT even their hardcore buyers might look elsewhere when they see the new Accord. (absolutely HIDEOUS)

Camry will lead in sales, should be a dogfight between Mazda and Nissan for the #2 spot.
