I like this better than the Blackhawk. This car really reminds me of the graphic on all the "Figueroa Corridor" signs, eh?

Trade in the car for a good pair of walking shoes. Running burns the same calories as walking by distance. Basically running just saves time. Walking is easier, generally more enjoyable, and way easier on your joints. Oh, and you only sweat walking if it's humid!

No it's like the neighborhood gossip on cocaine.

Haha yea and the pic dating all the way back to when I was a freshman haha.

Bowflex is amazing, I love my Ultimate. Keeping records is a must.

Of course...but that particular joke stopped being funny months ago.

Actually, the S-Class has always launched the next generation of "pint, quart, gallon" styling at M-B. The rear isn't copied from anything other than the Maybach, which certainly wasn't cribbed from a 7er. I can see how you could find the fender flares cartoonish, but the front end being from a 90s car? No way.

It's ridiculous...I'm already a member of 4 "change it back" groups...with the largest one being the homegrown USC effort at 200 members and counting (seriously...every 1 new member joining per minute) http://usc.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2207840082

that was unprovoked. grow up.

What has he "messed up"? You're a fan of Azteks, Rendezvous, W-bodies and FWD? Or is it the loss of the Chevrolet-badged Corolla that you're bemoaning?Ohhhhhkaaaaay...to each his own...

Last update... HOOKAH WITH THE BROS TONIGHT!! WOOOOOOO best Labor Day in a while...

Will coupe variants be available? ETA: I really like it.

Chill out there Dairy Queen...

Yayer!

Seriously, the interiors of the GM's own, the exterior of this thing is NASTY. I like the front, but everything else is just...strange. The interior is $h! though.

I love the CLS, but the S-Class just makes me go whoa.

Update! Sunday 12:15 "Hangover Breakfast" with a few of the guys (none of us were hungover though)...then I just relaxed all day long until 7:30 had dinner @ Subway with a few of the guys, followed by helping two different bros move some furniture into their new house @ 9. Then we had margarita night with some ΑΓΓ girls. As we moved the party to my bro Alex's house, my soon-to-be lil bro and I went to Chano's for some taquitos. Then we trekked back to Alex's place and watched the Fresh Prince marathon on Nick at Nite.

Wow I'm in shock...

If Marcia isn't willing to work with you but you HAVE tried counseling, that changes a lot. If there is any custody battle you have the upper hand since you've tried making the effort and it has been documented in some form or another (therapy bills, does your therapist record the sessions?) That said, I must say it is unfortunate that the relationship has deteriorated to the point that she says you mean nothing and she hates you. Being an optimist, I think that if you tried something fun and romantic and spontaneous you might have a chance, but if you try that and are rebuffed then take her advice and move on. Again, I'm only going on what you've told me. Good luck, hopefully everything will work out in the end.

I never said anything about the kind of father he is to Sofia. I do not know. I do know enough pictures have been posted of the tyke that he seems to spend time with her. Note that most of what I said involved the phrase "Marcia and Sofia" as in doing something/spending time together as a family. That's important. If you're referring to the "start being a responsible father" phrase, part of being a responsible father is respecting/getting along with the mother as well as not doing things with K-5 Blazers that could seriously injure your health which would prevent you from being a father (not even mentioning example setting). The vacation was what I was getting at...or at least a family camping trip. If you (Sly) can recapture the fun spirit of the relationship that sparked Marcia's interest in you, she will have a harder time being angry and bitter. Have fun as a family! And try something that has NOTHING to do with cars.As for therapy, I agree with z28, though oftentimes therapy helps uncover those issues if the two of you are having communication difficulties (which it sounds like may be the case).

Again, I love Promiscuous since I don't listen to the radio and haven't gotten sick of it.

All American Rejects are still pretty good...but of course I don't listen to the radio so I don't get overplayed. After listening to Natalie Imbruglia with "Torn" in 1998 and 1999 nonstop I have to say I still can't stand listening to that song...even though musically it is really good.

Agreed. He also would spend time with Marcia and Sofia instead of hanging out with the guys videotaping stupid stunts with old K-5 Blazers, going to car shows, and doing other acts of tomfoolery. But this is what it boils down to: he's told us for the past couple years the ups and downs of his relationship with Marcia, and how she wants more attention and feels he isn't around enough. And that he feels bad about it. And wants to be the best father to Sofia. And he can't stand the thought of losing Sofia. That's what I remember of the "story thus far."Now Sly I know we've had our differences here...but here me out cuz what I'm about to say is in the best interest of Sofia (which is what you SHOULD be thinking about): You have two options here: Option #1: Grow up, start being a responsible father and quit dicking around all the time. Spend some time with Marcia and Sofia, and go on family outings...not just on things with the guys. Start acting like the father you are. Maybe even see a counselor with Marcia to work your stuff out and don't just do it to appease her, but to genuinely help yourself. Option #2: Don't grow up, keep hanging out with the guys all the time, and continue all the selfish behavior (i.e. spending so much time with the guys and cars at the expense of family time) that has gotten you to the place where you are. Of course, be prepared to lose Marcia as well as Sofia since Marcia will take her and most likely win custody, especially if she finds out about these internet women. Basically those are the two likeliest options. You need to find out what your priorities are in life, and make a choice...because you can't have it both ways. It's either cars cars cars and the guys 24/7 or it's gonna be Marcia and Sofia 24/7, with maybe a few things with the guys every few weekends. It's a choice you have to make. But it is not doing Sofia any respect to continue what you and Marcia have been going through for a while. Oh, and whether or not you are "official" or not with Marcia...you are living together (for the time being at least) and have a kid together so I think most people would still consider it cheating and worst and in poor taste at best to go on dates with other women. Take this seriously, Sly...I'm not doing this to be an ass, though I'm sure a few parts were a little harsh...you kinda need some blunt honesty on this. I'm looking out for Sofia here, because it would really suck if she grew up resenting you for not being there for her. ETA: Fly's post came as I was still typing this one...so I hope this doesn't run afoul...I really have Sofia's interests at heart here.

That would be annoying...but a little of them here and there is okay.

Honestly? Your posting this online will haunt you. You can't leave a paper trail like this. Marcia and/or the attourneys will likely google your screen name and all of this as well as anything you've posted on a similar screen name on other sites will show up. You're like Hanzel & Gretel leaving a crumb trail over the internet. Stop it. Also be responsible and get an apartment or townhome somewhere else. The volatile relationship is not good for Sofia. Finally, don't accept any offers to go on a TV divorce court cuz I know what you look like from the Pictures! thread and I'll never let you live it down...plus you'd prolly regret something like that later. :AH-HA_wink:
