...And you think you have better taste than me? Oh my.

Yes, I have to deal with these alot. Living on backroads, older drivers or drivers not familiar with the roads, tend to go about 15-25 mph when the limit is 45 mph. I can't understand why with these backroads, but it does get annoying. Now, on roads where speeds over the limit are completely safe, it really makes you wonder what the driver is thinking. On the other side of things, with my Millenia have a missing problem, there has been times where I couldn't get out of my own way and consequently held up drivers.

Now that is one thing that definitely makes using a cell phone easy. I have an automatic. If I had a manual transmission car again, it'd be alot harder. In essence, though, driving with a manual transmission, multitasking is necessary to even drive... Steer, clutch, shift, brake, gas, turnsignal... It's multitasking in itself. As far as I go, I honestly don't see what's so difficult about it. I can do it without affecting my driving. If I thought it would honestly cause me to wreck, I wouldn't do it. Exactly. Changing a CD (in my Grand Am, since my Millenia has a changer) took alot more effort than using a cellphone, even texting. You have to get the CD case/holder, find the CD you want, take it out of the holder, take the previous CD out of the radio, put the new one in, put the previous one in the holder/case, and put it away. With a cell phone, I grab it, flip it open, and press keys. Not that hard.

You can do that, but this certainly isn't the first time you've said that about me, yet I haven't wrecked or even been close to wrecking. The only time I EVER came close to wrecking was when I swerved to miss a deer and spun out into a field. Wasn't my driving. Wasn't my tires. Wasn't my cellphone. Wasn't anything else you've ever mentioned. Say what you will, but this isn't my problem, it's your problem. I'm fine and I've been fine. Find something else to bitch about, because it's unfounded.

Well, after something like that, it had to feel good to be let off that easily.

. What? It's a good commercial!

Wait a minute... Keep waiting... Keeeeeep waiting.... Okay... Now it's hot in here. :D

Well, for one there's my tires. That one, I will say isn't something I did purposely since I couldn't and still can't afford new ones, but either way, I did mostly fine all winter. Then, back when I had just gotten my Millenia, It wasn't just you, but a bunch of you guys criticized me for something, I don't remember what, saying I'd wreck or whatnot. I never did, obviously. I'm just saying you, and others, have been quick to judge me and my driving. Dangerous or not, I haven't had any problems.

Heh... Hey, I'm just stating what I can do. I'm not saying I'm the perfect driver, but I have absolutely no problem doing anything with a cell phone while driving. Just because you or others on here won't... or can't, has no bearing on what I can and cannot do. I happen to be able to without affecting my driving, so I'll continue doing it regardless of anyone's opinions. In the past you have been quick to judge and so far you've been wrong. Until I have adverse affects for any of the things I've been lectured about by you guys, you'll still be wrong. And yes, I'm stubborn, but it won't change that fact.

Cool wagon. Now you just need to pimp it out into a nice 'Shaggin Wagon'...

Speaking of those trucks, I've been trying to find a pic of one like my dad had, but I haven't had any luck. His was a 1977 Scottsdale short bed 4x4 with a push bar and horizontally barred grill up front, dark silver with light blue stripes paint and straight dual exhausts out back.

Its rare that I text, but as I said, if I get one, I will return. And as I also said, it hasn't affected my driving. I don't take my eyes off the road to text anymore than I do to read the gauges or to do anything else while driving. It's really not that hard if you have the keys memorized and especially since I'm a good multitasker. Call it stupid if you want, but I can do it fine without affecting my driving. As Fly said, it's knowing your limits and texting while driving is within my limits.

I do it as needed. When I get a call, I'll answer. A text, I'll text back. The same for if I make a call/text. It's never hampered my driving in anyway, whether on the interstate, in town, or on one of the many twisty backroads I have to use. The naysayers need to blame $h!ty drivers, not the actual use of cell phones. If you can't drive well in the first place or can't multitask, you don't need to be using a cell phone. For those that can, like myself, its not a problem. Seriously.

Well, it's helps that it's the only cool Jeep, and a real Jeep at that.

How did I miss this thread? You guys... *shakes head*

Well, the GTO will be a fun car, but you'll be limited by its small trunk and coupe bodystyle. The STi will also be a fun car, but it may be too over the top. If it was just a regular WRX, it would definitely be my choice. The A4 is a great car but most likely won't be as fun as the others. The R32 isn't much to look at, but it's probably the most practical and will also be fun. But then there's VW's reliability... If it were up to me, I'd probably have to go with the GTO out of those.

Hmm... No... Can't say I was wondering.

I didn't notice... and that would explain the difference between the time on C&G and the time on my computer. However, it's pretty nice outside. Its about 50 with lots of sunshine. Yay.

Nice Vette. I have 1:18 scale convertible in that color.

Used Cars > New Cars. If I ever won the lottery, I'd only buy used cars. Not to mention, it's all that's on my horizon for a while. Plus used cars are just more desirable anyways. Currently, I'm not sure what I'd get if I were to go car shopping within the next 6 months or so. So many cars to choose from... First generation Miata Another Millenia, an S First generation RX7 1988 Fiero GT 5spd 1993-1997 V6 Firebird S13 Nissan 240SX First generation Q45 Honda Del Sol Vtec Acura Integra E36 BMW 325is First Audi A4 Audi 100/A6 Last Buick Riviera Buick Reatta Hard top Oldsmobile Aurora Lexus SC300 1994-1999 Toyota Celica 1994-1998 Ford Mustang Second Generation Probe The sad thing is, that's only a faction of the cars I'd consider.

Like what, specifically? Just because something may not have been created by a "God" does not mean it was "ordained by just nothing". There is an explanation for everything around us, not "just nothing". As far as intelligence and religion... How about Albert Einstein?

Once again, Callaway turns a Vette into something truly beautiful. I love the exterior and the interior looks downright luxurious. BV likes.

The result of lovely boredom:

I agree. :P

Fiero. The first time I ever saw one, I thought it was a Ferrari. I was about 10. Eventually found out it was a Pontiac and longed for one even more. Still my favorite car and will likely snatch up a 1988 GT with a 5spd if I ever come across one for less than $2.5k
