No! Just more rallying words really!

True on the former, latter is questionable lol. I don't know, 4 year string of bad luck, financial catastrophe. Just keeps going the wrong way and is getting really tough to find the point in trodging though all this. I know the feeling quite too well. When there's just no progress when it be damned you've been firing on all cylinders for so long, that you forget what it means to idle. I believe you and I Stew may just be in similar situations, so here's my take on it.... (Rambling war music and imagine Winston Churchill's voice) ...Every theater of war being lost. The lines keep getting pushed back. Losses, irrecoverable losses. Time. Falling behind not on objectives - but even on adequate rest; breathing room. When each step forward is mired by a such a pervasive and indifferent headwind that pushes you back not 2 or 3 steps. It sets you so back that you can't even see the steps you had left ahead of you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do… Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong… From now on the enemy is more clever than you. From now on the enemy is stronger than you. The feeling where your deliverance, your retribution... your vengeance is being denied to you because in this insane world; you've tried your best to be sane and remain humble and honest. A very wise fellow told me once that the hardest working man is a drowning one. But now a tactical lesson - that in order to defeat an enemy we cannot beat; we must become what we hate. We must explore this world; destroy any obstacle; become the very reapers that we despise. Anyways, my thoughts on the war... Victory... at any cost! Continue the assault! Keep pushing, keep firing! Never give up, and never, on absolutely any occasion ever surrender!

Man... memories. I wish I had more of them. Unless I'm getting Alzheimer's. Uh oh.

Man I haven't seen a film in a theater in years....

^^^^^ "An error occurred, there was a problem storing your reputation vote" Dafuq?

Well, I think the rep score is kind of like a game to me. For me I want my rep score to reflect maximum efficiency. As in number of posts divided by rep score which can be either + or - (I'm still snickering how people can even achieve that. Trying to be a nuisance? Tsk tsk tsk). So that should indicate how many posts it takes for you to get 1 increase in rep score. I think I'm being pretty efficient for having a 127/22 or 5.72 posts per upvote ratio. The goal is to minimize the numerator and maximize the denominator and see if you're really, really an angel of wisdom and all that is nice and great and righteous...or see if you're very efficient in being a nuisance.

Man I had no luck hooking up at the bar the other night. The best story however is that when I was piss drunk I fell off a bar stool. The bar's Alpha male getting all the attention - heck there was a bombshell with tats fondling his hair for Christ's sake. He commandingly takes the bar stool over to his table. His cronies and bitches laughed at me. I gather myself while I witness the incredible. He perches on it for about 45 seconds. Struggles to sit level on it. And then he falls over with a resounding crash. I could not believe I bore witness to that. He squealed because he landed funny on his arm. It was a loud ass bang, and I shuffled over, picked up the stool (while being way over the limit) bent the legs back straight, and offered my hand to pick up slick. Now he couldn't say no because he landed funny on his arm; no one on his table could resist to laugh and I left the place with a sense of "yea bitch." He didn't get lucky either that night. Victory for me right? I demolished the rep of an Alpha. Now if only I wasn't wasted, then I could have slid right in for the easy pickings. Dammit!

The moral of the story is that hyper electric, turbojet, pulse detonation ...antimatter collision; dark matter detonation and whatnot will continue to have a hard time surpassing good old American whupass in the form of a Hellcat for a good long time. V8. Some chunk to go with the hunk. Stickyness. Power for days. I'm waiting for the supercharged DevilCat with 1400+ horsepower and the ludicrous price advantage that will be continued to maintained against nonconventional rivals.

Good news: Yo're somehow wasted and giggling like an idiot. Bad news: Yo're somehow wasted and giggling like an idiot.

I'm about to turn in for the night, if Drew you could pls fix my link for the videyrz pls thank you, I'm wasted I need to go crawl into my bunker and hunker down. Let it all out!

Heh just pulled off an all nighter and all day'er. I spilled my guts this morning though. But it was a good one. I had it all lined up while on the can. I must have lost like 10 lbs. Nothing in my belly, my bladder or my you know what. Refreshing. Totally wasted from the last night. Did not get lucky at the bar though. I did have something going but I was flat out done, and unfortunately not prepared. (Dammit!) (Dammit!) (Dammit!)

It's a large an complicated product portfolio to add new models to, but the platform sharing will definitely pay big dividends. But I don't know if its a good idea to downsize the Equinox. The only thing thats the issue is packaging. The Equinox is larger by a huge amount over others in exterior dimensions, but its total interior volume isn't substantially bigger; in some cases its even smaller than some competitors. Though an LTG or LGX and 9 Speed AWD and an Impala level interior in terms of fit and finish could be very exciting for such a mundane yet popular class of vehicle.

It's still a solid deal if you're going for the luxury car features and luxury car driving experience. It should make Acura and Lincoln sweat; really. It's like a bargain LS, because it offers 90% of what the LS is at a good 60% of the price. The 10% of the details make Lexus closer to the European brands, but even the stodgy LS is falling wayyy behind. The thing is though; that people going to a Hyundai dealer still do not associate their brand an uplevel brand. Even Volkswagen; with its supposed European pedigree had a fantastic failure with the Phaeton and trouble moving the CC. But still, Hyundai makes a compelling car for the right reasons; and it punches above its weight. though with the amount it really weighs... it damn well better be a solid luxo brick moving down the road.

That's just wrong. So why am I so amused?

another day and yet another one bites the dust at work. I swear, I look out for the young ones; I warn 'em weeks before it happens. They gotta get a pep in their step. A real sense of urgency. A drive to be more than just the sum of their parts. Effort and results. Too bad. Actually, good riddance. No more lazy jerkoffs at work.

So I've had a couple beers in me, eaten to satisfy my tummy; and now I think I am in bliss for a fleeting moment. The good things are always so simple, aren't they?

I like the Rogue. I blends kind of with the CR-v and Rav4 for being just a comfy runabout, but it's styling is solid and its a decent product. I like it a lot.

I don't think the Edge Sport was done justice here, but again, I think there's something missing here. MT set the criteria for being a comfy middle sized runabout with style; not a porky yet somehow athletic ute. But for the Edge to be third place; that's a tough sell. You're getting a ute that can run with a Porsche Macan for $4000 more than the Nissan. I'd say that's a bargain in its own right. Oh well. I'm sure buyers will test ride each and find what they like. I would go with the Edge personally, because I do not like the Murano's exterior, and my utter hate for it is greater than my like of the Murano's interior over the Edge. The minor squabbles over button placement; sure. Okay; but alteast it's no longer the atrocity that the touch panels were. I think the Sync 3 system should help a lot.

Drinking a cold one and preparing for another day of attacking the enemy. Never surrender! Never compromise! Continue the fight!! Rahrahrah!!! Trying to to think like a tactician.

Congrats!!!

I dunno, I'm not really warming up to the way they changed the looks, but the updates to power trains are a welcome upgrade.

Yeah, CF is one and done. Even though it is stiffer than aluminum or steel; it's the type of fibres and their differing modulus that they weave to tune the stiffness while maintaining compliance. I think for the intended purpose for a track specific vehicle that can be on the road; I think this should be a good opportunity to try the technology. Reducing rotational inertia and unstrung weight seem like the biggest benefits.

I did a 110 km bike ride today. Epic saddle sores. But still; even though. Feels like no positive progress going on at all for the last 6-7 months. Everything is in a state of transience. The victories are short and fleeting. The losses are mounting and mounting and mounting. Ahh, laughter like this is why this place feels like home!

I wish I could visit my grandfather. Except I never met him because he died at the ripe age of 48, when my dad was 8 years old. Maybe screwed my dad's and my generation of the family over. Damn you high cholesterol!!

I don't have access to a car anymore. Couldn't afford it. I'm in a period of financial sensibility once more. And I unfortunately have no friends, anywhere; except maybe here; but you know what I mean. Trying to integrate with the world has resulted in frustration, time and again.
