must be the labor then that my dad was being a whiny as-s about. i'm like 'dad, it costs money to have a shop and tools and all of that'. And my dad is an ex implement / diesel mechanic. i suppose maybe he figures he gave away his time so everyone else's is overvalued....LOL struts in general are kind of expensive. i had a few quotes to replace struts and shocks on my 'tek, 800-1000 bucks including labor.

again, the agreement and what we both want as the commited couple was either 2 or 3 kids. i aint gettin younger, had to do it or deal with the breaking of the trust. and in truth, i want to also. just that it got put off way too long. GRRRRR. time and money goes too fast and lose sense of what priorities really are. in a perfect world i would be game for 3 or 4, but that assumes a younger version of ME, and a good enough job and economy for me to make tons of money so she can be june cleaver if she wants, and we can afford all the expenses and time that are required to raising kids. so as a couple that was what we're built around, and its all worth it, even if 'return to greatness' is delayed and underfunded. there was a few pockets when she was prego last time where she got randy streaks, but on the whole, not very much so in comparison to the 'trying to conceive' period before hand. talk about a horny woman! guys maybe you had one of those too. can't get enough if what she really wants is the seed.

i'd get an accent before say, a toyota.

oh come on, i know that. i was just saying it's been awhile, so much so, that i may need to expand my horizons as far as getting that part of the deal. i.e. 'think outside the box' for me. LOL bfore y'all get judgmental on me, the mrs is knocked up again and happens to be one of those that just isnt into that kinda of stuff when she is. and other women aren't available as an option to jump in for mop up duty. up until that though, you had better be in great cardio shape, iykwim. cause it might fall off. urban legend is that woman get randy when preggers, a lot do, but mine is one that her appetite goes down once the seed has been planted. with women, you learn some things are biological and hormonal.

BTW, whole pineapples 2 for 6 bucks at the store this week.! WOOHOO! favorite part of eating pineapple. it's so sweet, but slightly acidic. but then you always end up getting a bunch of it all over, it's so juicy.

yup those green gassy veggies and also coffee are taste killers. i've heard that snickers and pineapple are among the most 'fruitful' remedies. um, not that i would know first hand though. IYKWIM.

i mentioned to my wife i had the big tub of pineapple, but no takers. her loss i guess. maybe i will have to become a guy guy LOL

solitary CHERRY......

hondas are short stroke if i recall and i think that's party why they are not such big shakers.

the camry is a sad joke. corolla also. unless you kneel to consumer reports.

holy crap the condition of that thing is amazing. wow! perfect color too! honestly, i've always wanted one of those regals. i remember when those came out, and i read the articles about it in car and driver over and over. in my mind, the original 2 door w bodies were stunning cars, each one. i knew so many people with grand prixs it was amazing. i loved the dash in those regals. they said GM built cars no one wanted in the 80's, however, many of those cars I love, aside from their quality issues. in my mind the w bodies were bold, daring, and efficient.

my dad has put off putting struts in his seville, but his is a 92, and i don't think those in any way are electronic, although he did say they are expensive and he is as tight as it gets. but he said they were extremely costly, is it the same type of deal?

would you give your inheritance to your family, or to strangers from the next state?

veracruz ain't bad. to me its what the 2nd gen rendezxvoux should have been. veracruz is much nicer than this lexus abortion. 1st gen x5's are really nice. i've ridden in an x3. seems a bit poseurish. toyota ought to get their shorts in a bind. the genesis and veracruz make you ask the question 'why would i spend so much more on a pukey toyota'?

http://www.canadiandriver.com/thenews/2008...-jobs-first.htm this is what needs to get out to the general public Washington, D.C. - The U.S. non-profit research centre Good Jobs First said that foreign-owned auto assembly plants in that country have received a total of US$3.6 billion in state and local subsidies, mostly from southern states. “As elected officials debate aid for the Big Three, taxpayers have the right to know the full extent of government involvement in America’s auto industry,” said Greg LeRoy, executive director of Good Jobs First. “And while proposed federal aid to the Big Three would take the form of a loan, the vast majority of subsidies to foreign auto plants were taxpayer gifts such as property and sales tax exemptions, income tax credits, infrastructure aid, land discounts, and training grants.” The centre released the following list of funding, which it said is “conservative” and does not account for inflation:

sometimes you don't even need the flat tire. as long as there is no lubircation crisis.

very nice pic. don't be so modest. !

let's hope they can get enough profit from fits. the new accord sucks and the new pilot goes beyond sucking. the new pilot is up there with my aztek in terms of ugly.

toyota as a business entity is worthy. however, look at all of their products and none of them is class leading. toyota's bubble is coming. i see way too many blue hairs in toyotas nowadays. way too many. they are the next buick. seriously, none of toyota's products are the best choices in their class.

this new rx is a visual abortion. all the way through. i hope lexus rots.

call roadside assistance. in the meantime, tell her you will go there to meet her. on the way, pick up flowers, strawberries, and whipped cream, and some bubbly. and her favorite evening dinner, to go. arrive and tell her you were concerned about her well being and that you thought this would lend some quality time. then, proceed with whatever happens after that. at a minimum, you're in her good graces, and you got a nice meal. beyond that, there are some possibilities. And if the roadside guys does NOT show up...change the flat for her. If he does, then its one heckuva 'forum' letter. and hey, if you had brought the iPod with some flicks on it, you could sit in the back seat watching the movies and eating the food and have some fun just watching the flick in the back seat.

holy crap, the new SRX is nothing to write home about but you're making it sound like this is anything besides the pure dog$h! on a stick it appears to be in pictures. holy crap. this thing is JUNK!

i was comparing the rabbit and malibu. not the mini and its 6 cubic foot trunk. the automatic mini only gets 1 mpg better on the highway too....LOL. mini in size, not in fuel consumption.

170hp for the rabbit. 169 for the malibu. the malibu can have a 6 speed tranny. an automatic equipped malibu is cheaper and faster than the automatic equipped rabbit. the malibu with the 6 speed is just as fast as the rabbit manual. or very darn close. the ecotec is way smoother than the vdub5
