  1. considering your ages, do it now. tell her. if not, then relieve yourself of the torture and stop seeing her and move on. 'it's not over' until they have a rock and marraige certificate and even then they might have made a big mistake but everything up until 'I do' is fair game. She will tell you if she is interested. Ignore the friend. The friend might be bitter or vengeful about something. Even if she tells you no, now, she will always remember what you told her she means to you and it is up to her to then look within and evaluate how she feels about you. After that point, the connection is either already there or it's not and she ought to be in touch with herself enough to know which of those two it is. What she won't do is breakup what she has now, to contemplate what you mean to her. She already in her mind long ago decided if you were realtionship material or not. The rest involves timing, which you sound to have had lots of misfortune with this girl. Rent When Harry Met Sally. It may not be wholly applicable to your special situation, but there is some things to see in that movie that alwasy make you think of your own relationships with another and your roles in a partnership over time. Point being, in the end of the movie, they realized of all the superficial things out there they were able to recognize what finally made them compatible and a pair. And they stopped looking for what it was they thought they should have. I'm never one to sound the alarm bell but I can tell you....with proof, a woman gets close to 30 and they DO feel that 3 coming near and THEY DO make commitment moves a lot faster if they meet someone even kind of interesting and you do not want to wait so long so that you would get shut out. Part that hurts is if she says she really likes 'new guy' then at least we have progress, some resolution, and she's had her option presented to her. My only exception would be if you had absolute proof you don't think her new guy will work out in the short term, i.e next year or so. But at late 20's, chances are much greater she could be walking down the aisle in less than 12 months and you're the guy eating cake at table 17 with some person she used to work at at a summer job in college 8 years ago who she almost never sees now. One of my past heartbreaks, our next to last face to face meeting, which was a chance meeting but was after i started dating my wife (which upset her) told me to my face 'i am not getting married til I am 30, I'm in no hurry.' I went to her wedding less than a year later. She had like 2 kids within the first 2 years after that. Seeing that person that you cared about at one time so deeply and you know cared about you as well but you never had a chance to get in sync....seeing them with a wedding dress on and saying yes to someone else, with your very own eyes......that is painful. It flat out rips at your stomach. It takes awhile to get over that. You feel rejection. I can attest to how hard a feeling that is to wait too long to tell somebody and see them move quickly to someone else when the chance presents itself for them. I know a woman right now who has told me to my face (she's like 28) she is in no rush to get married and will wait 10 years to get married and I can bet you money by 30 she has her sugar daddy and kid one. She is out 4-5 nights a wek looking for THE ONE, and FAST. Late 20's = danger zone. People are very much wanting to find their someone and work very hard at making that happen. You won't want to lose out on someone you think is the one, even if it means crash and burn potentially. My friends who are 35+ and single but not gay have major slim picking for realtionships.
  2. they don't allow much on the other site. doesn't surprise me. they have no edge and no relevant perspective. but they do post more stories.
  3. no $h! you have poor crash performance in a roofless car. geez.
  4. http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2007-05-29-tundra_N.htm Toyota fixing engine failures in new Tundra truck love the terminology http://www.cnn.com/2007/AUTOS/05/29/bc.toy...reut/index.html Toyota reports problem with new Tundra
  5. i'm only proud of you if Jim Dollinger sold it to you. BTW, you should have got an AZTEK!!!!!!!
  6. again, the fact they are using belts is ludicrous.
  7. YOU POOR SOULS WHO HAVE TO USE THESE THINGS..........
  8. THEY USUALLY STOP BUGGING ME AFTER I MICHAEL DOUGLAS THEM 13-14 TIMES WITH THE LEAD PIPE.
  9. well, sure, you get that when you spend 24 grand on a near subcompact. that jetta tdi would have saved you a few grand and have been nicer yet with more space and the same mpg. bigger fuel tank too. just sayin. cost analysis don't bear out hybrids but for you this is a luxury car then so you can justify the extra wads of cash that way.
  10. toyota's solution to eliminate the camshafts snapping is to make the timing belts flimsier so they snap first before the cams do. problem solved. DID I SAY TIMING BELTS AND PICKUP IN THE SAME SENTENCE?
  11. not this lifetime let me revisit a topic i went off about awhile ago. Just because you can make $h! in china or malaysia and put it on a boat and send it back here, doesn't mean you have to. Business leaders don't f@#king care though. They just care with wall street PR spin and exec bonuses. There is no motivation for human stewardship in this country. I am not saying communism is they way to go. i don't even like what unions are doing. All I am saying is business more than enough leaders don't even give a f@#k about building our US economy, and giving and getting and helping people develop. Yeah, they're under pressure. Who the f@#k cares. If they don't want the pressure that goes with their job, then quit. You can only rape the US economy so long by asking people to buy, buy, buy till at some point, people cannot buy anymore and then what do they do? To make matters worse, everyone wants to buy $h! from the company that sends it all back to Japan, who doesn't seem to be interested in fair trade, in fact they are trying every under the radar trick possible to really f@#k us over in this department. Notice how as soon as toyota and others get a strong foothold here and get people blowing off domestics, now they basically say, we have you by the nuts now but thanks, we'll send those jobs overseas now. Both sides are wrong here. The unions are way in the stratosphere in what they expect and workers backed by unions have no motivation to excel and grow a lot. The business leaders put no stock in helping our towns and country as much as the company. The economy is in the $h!ter right now and you see housing is in the trash, retail is now being affected by the housing and gas prices. Wages are flat and taxes and gas, everything else is going up. At some point the bubble will burst....so it's in their interest to pay some people here and keep them working on decent wages. They won't see that till its too late.
  12. LOL.....toyota got too big and is now on the radar.
  13. metalurgic defect = manufacturer had to skimp to hit a cost target. '20' engines. This means there is a buttload more and probably every one is subject to this happening over time. The SHO v8's had cam sprocket issues that happened more and more over time, even if the press over blew it. For this to happen out of the chute is an incredible emabarassment for hoyotha. It basically shows they don't know what they are doing yet. God I hope this gets plastered all over the press.
  14. i was reading my FIL's copy of PM which did a civic hybrid test vs. reg. civic recently. only 6 mpg better in both city and highway. not worth the extra 6 grand the dealer was trying to charge my buddy for his civic he just bought a couple weeks ago. 6 grand for 6 mpg? no thanks. 33.6/36.3-std 39.6/42.7-hybrid
  15. ' local dealers advertise new bare lancers from 12,500 but more importantly just take that sticker and knock 1500-2000 off it and that's what you'll pay for a lancer right now. it was a mistake for them to not have about 200hp out of the chute but oh well. the interior on this car has some seriously sculpted seats and a sweet looking manual shifter....looks very inviting to the driver. i like the cobalt and right now its like 3500 off sticker but unless i got an SS cobalt the lancer is much more attitude. the mazda 3 is nice but has a bit of a chick car vibe to it sometimes. if we compare the 3 and lancer, i might be inclined to take a lancer just because it's different and sportier attitude. those sales numbers for buick and subaru look pretty 'bad' too. let's dump them too. pretty much the same. what's buick's fleet %age of that......if you use few dealers as reason to dump a brand then lets dump saturn too they hardly have that many more dealers. i'd prefer to get rid of suzuki and subaru. i'd rather have daewoos in the chevy showroom and i really don't like subie's dikewagons anyways. everyone else has awd now so there is no reason for subaru to exist. that was their only calling card. there is nothing unique that subaru has to offer. I simply don't like them. Plus now they are part of toyota which makes me dislike them even more. The new WRX/Imprezza has got to be one of the worst designs of the last 15 years.
  16. this is why CR is so fricking dumb. when you make money (good), you are in the black. when you lose money (bad) you are in the red. So why does CR have their setup ass backwards and make the red dots good? why couldn't they simply use a 5 star system that everyone can understand? the dots and donuts are really funking dumb.
  17. pigs do breed apparently.
  18. i drove thru the mits lot tonight to look at the lancer. i like it. nice little car. mpg is not great though. it's not a FREAKMOBILE like the civic or a pussmobile like the elantra or corolla. only the rabbit, cobalt ss and mazda3 are as edgy. rear seat looks huge. i think it will do good..
  19. probably the BAMR big ass moon roof
