    I give people nicknames far more often than I get them. It doesn't help that I rarely respond to any nicknames given to me, either...

  8. Dude, don't be a smartass.5 years ago some days the site would be down completely because the server was overloaded. The mods and Walt would pay for the upkeep themselves. Negotiating new servers, etc. Were you around for the two Great Crashes where all data was lost? That happened due to massive server failures. Honestly, I'd rather have the regularly-occurring 500 error than the random server failure. Also, if you're noticing a regular, every-20-minute error, you're on the site more than is healthy. Just sayin'...
  9. They drugged it for you.
  10. Scott? Heh...I still talk to him on AIM occasionally...actually its more like he gets drunk and starts drunk-IMing me...he's a cool guy...but damn he's flaming haha...goes to Georgetown now.You wanna talk about reminiscing? I just found those two Donkey Punch! songs on my itunes...

    Do this poll. Now.

    Razor, if a town does not want the interstate access, and expresses this sentiment to the state government, I guarantee you the government will agree to avoid spending the millions of dollars to construct an interchange.And yes, Hoosiers hate change. It's a cultural thing. Even the people in the cities hate change. I used that as an example for Indiana, not painting a picture of rural Americans being change-fearing imbeciles who cannot make the decisions best for themselves.
  17. ???????????????
  18. Croc

    Do this poll. Now.

    Not adequately though...
  19. OK...read Dan Neil's review on cars.com...yea he panned it so I'll defer to the majority on this...but man those Automobile guys were obnoxious...
  20. I'm with you on this one Bimmer...they definitely weren't trying to test the feature...they already had their own vision of the outcome in mind when they were doing it...and being really obnoxious spazzes wasn't helping either.I think it's an unnecessary feature...but I won't mock it until I see some more objective magazines...and certainly one of a higher caliber than Automobile...come to similar conclusions.

    Do this poll. Now.

    Don't put so many words in my mouth.Suburbs are NOT the ideal by any stretch of the imagination...at least as they've been designed for the past 75 years. What I was referring to was more along the lines of mitigating NIMBY-ism. For example...Indiana needs the extension of I-69 to be built. Nobody can agree where to build it. It needs to be done for economic benefit not only of the state but also the country. If Indiana had the legislative processes that California has, the damn thing would never be built because nobody wants it going across their farmland, or through their town, or near their great aunt Sally's favorite oak tree. This has nothing to do with imposing the will of Californians on the rest of the nation...in fact I said I didn't think California's processes were appropriate for the rest of the country. So maybe you should read what is actually being said a little more carefully before you jump to conclusions.
  22. so it has a bike rack...
  23. Love the front!
