I'm loving how people up here just stop in the middle of the road for no reason whatsoever. (perhaps taking a sip from their Big Gulp?) Or they'll slow down so slow that I can switch my car into 1st gear for no apparent reson. Also something interesting about NC is that no one knows how a stop sign works. I don't know...maybe it's a new concept up here and all of these signs have just been installed. It's baffling. Either they don't stop at all and just blow through them, or they stop and wait forever even if it's their turn. (and if you go, they get all pissed off) Or they stop and then immediately go even if it's not their turn. (and act all pissed off that you tried to go)

Yeah, those damn MSN corvette conspirators!!!

i didnt say it was a bulb...but either way...spray paint looks like spray paint...(cheap)

Thank you. There are so many dumb myths about alcohol. It's so annoying. And no one is "immune" from drinking, the same way that no one is immune to drinking bleach. I've never had a hangover either, but that's because I'm young. Young people don't get hangovers as often. Also, when you puke, you're a lot less likely to get a hangover because puking gets rid of a lot of the poison you've ingested. So if you wanna run your risk of hangover a lot lower, make yourself puke before you go to bed. I've bartended quite a bit and you're absolutely right about there being no difference in different kinds of "drunk". It's just that everyone is different and some people are really mean and some people are really nice, or slutty, or whatever it is. However, how much you drink can change you more. There's a lot of proof in tequila, like gin, and that gets you drunk faster, not "differently". Treat alcohol like a poison, that's how it treats you.

first- no it's not rice. rice means you're trying to make your car look fast. second- no. it doesn't look great from your example below. There are bunch of mods I can do to the sol's lights, but personally I think it looks kinda cheesy, esp when you just spray paint the plastic. Angel eyes look cool though, changing the actual bulbs looks pretty good.

you know what's funny...? In the morning, especially when it's cold, my car sounds like it has a nest of baby birds in the back of it. Not quite sure what the sound is...I think it has something to do with the targa. cheep cheap?

whaT???

toyota reports that aren't written by toyota?

Maybe some of you saw this already, but I thought I would link it just in case. America's Meanest Cars Best and Worst in Reliability GMs Hydrogen-Fuel Pickup (hooray for Toyota and Honda!)

Ugh thanks for bringing up horrible childhood memories of Ray Stevens on VHS....

I wish I was the second one. Alas, I am not nearly that hot. But thanks for thinking so! hahaha... I have a few pics of me on my website http://www.angelfire.com/planet/laurenbansemer/index.html Under the Day Trips section. (ps- I am a B )

I did, actually...you just gotta find it, haha.

I'm not even sure about the "smarter" part.

i love whiskey.

wow that happened to a friend of mine too! who, btw, is going to kill you if he sees that... A couple years ago on Halloween at college, there was this bus taking everyone to a club called Junkanoos and it was shuttling back and forth all night from the beach to the college, and it was about a half hour ride. I don't dance unless I'm drunk so I got pretty wasted on Gilbeys and Old English beforehand with my buddy. Before we got on the bus he burned me with a cigarette *looks at scar* and then we were ready to roll. The bus was really packed and I wa wearing this purple wig thing and couldnt really see with all of the alcohol I'd ingested earlier. I made out with my friend (it wasn't the first time, but I still had a boyfriend who wasn't present...and who I've appologized to since) and then he threw up in the isle and went into the bus bathroom where he passed out and we didn't see him for the rest of the ride. The bus was so rough and I couldn't take it anymore so I just put my head on the stea in front of me and then ended up puking twice all over the two guys in front of me, who screamed....but I felt a lot better. We never did get off the bus. My awesome roommate was holding my wig hair back and letting me barf all over her feet. So when then endless bus ride stopped back at the school after making its round-trip, I stumbled off and for whatever reason the cops were waiting there. My friend who was in the bathroom had to be dragged off, and he took about two steps on his own and collapsed right in front of the cops. I bolted since I could still walk, and the next day there was a write-up in the paper about him. His blood alcohol level was .24 and if he had been a couple of inches shorter, he would have died. Needless to say, he was very proud of that, although he got in big trouble with the campus for being underage and also with his parents. hahaha. (the bus driver must have been SO pissed...so many kids puked on his bus that night) But a good time was had by all...even if we never did make it to the club. So that's one of my drunk stories.

I think it's insane to actually name is "the Cube". Gawd. how lame.

I saw one today, but lately all I see are Miatas. Perhaps thats the trend here now.

lol, yeah I know, I love that...but everyone knows that Floridians have no accent (and before you go nuts talking about Gainesville or the Panhandle, please note that that is GEORGIA)

hahaha awwww i heart my sol If I was able to muster up the 1.7 mil that that "exotic" cost...I'd still keep my little Honda. Speaking of taste in exotics...Am I the only person who is completely smitten with Lotus?

One of our patients has one of these in black. It has crazy HP. I think it looks kinda goofy, however eyecatching. (I'll do without a VTEC sticker with those two V8s sitting side-by-side one another)

his house is also my house, so I won't be taking you up on that one. He used to own a Scion XA, which was pretty cute, although cheap. He used to like the XB too, but he got over it. The other day he goes "oh god! I have to show you this awesome car" and I'm thinking its like a new Lotus or a Bugati or SOMEthing. Even the damn Saturn convertible...and then he comes up with this. UGH. I can't decide if he's brain damaged or what. It took me about 20 minutes to verify that he wasn't joking. I'd even feel better if he had been smitten with a Sidekick. For a guy who hates children and minivans...wtf?

Check out what my boyfriend thinks is the coolest thing on wheels... *sigh*

I agree. My car may need a tune-up but it sure as hell blows the crap outta this beater.

oo nice pics! better call me back! hahahaha
