No, they are genuinely worried about the effects on their home equity as a result of this. That may be true, but the fact is that something like this has a negative effect on real estate prices for the surrounding lots, and maybe even the majority of the neighborhood. "Classy," or at the very least, "not tacky" yard features would not do this.

Couldn't disagree more.

Ground beef should be cooked well-done, i.e. no pink otherwise you are courting food-borne illness. Not worth it over a burger. For non-ground meat, I go rare. It's warm, all the surface bacteria have been killed, and with a little au jus, it's the perfect taste.

Yeah, smk, because electricity rates are completely uniform across the country and do not vary AT ALL!

DO ITTTTT!! Just seeing *ahem* certain members get their fangirl panties all in a knot makes it worth it.

Subaru: The latest KD Lang disc comes as standard equipment.

Never had LL Bean. Mine was a North Face Yavapai.

Wow, you sure got me fgured out... Fer sher.

Did you guys even look at the picture? It's the same one for the rebadged Vue.

Drive around Palos Verdes--even more so. Early morning when the sun is rising, or later evening, as the sun is setting and the marine layer is coming in are the most magical times.

In HS, I just carried everything from the locker to class and back. Backpack was generally reserved for the end of the day and maybe during lunch. Then again, I did all my homework during school the day it was due.

Not really from media, mostly from friends, and sometimes coming up with something that sounds interesting myself. Some of the slang that started out here has definitely spread a ways...kinda cool.

Oh you badass, you

And the best part for me: how do you carry a change of clothes in those? Gym shoes? There are many advantages to having a big, amorphous zippered pouch. This thing is just a laaaaaaaaame double messenger bag.

How to humiliate yourself in school: http://www.backtpack.com/ Some chiropractor in Oregon redesigned the backpack... ...doesn't she know she's f@#king over her own business here? Dumb ####.

If it's in the front/side yard, I'd hope they're respectful enough to also fence it in or use arbor vita or something to hide it from the street, out of respect for the neighbors.

I don't know if Sizzler is even still around. Indy does have a good steak place, called Peterson's, up in the Castleton area off 82nd St. and I-69.

Palos Verdes should make the cut--simply some of the most beautiful landscape in the region, even though it's mostly just suburban, residential homes. Portuguese Bend, part of the PV peninsula, is the fastest moving land in the world, a continuous slumping landslide since 1956. That portion of PV Dr. S. is undergoing near-constant roadwork. Hollywood Riviera is another good area--subdistrict of Redondo Beach, the signs call it "Riviera Village," but it's where the Hollywood elite used to have a lot of beach houses, like back in the 1920s through the 1940s. Can't forget LA's Chinatown--so famous, and the first master-planned "Chinatown" in the world. The district was originally designed by a Hollywood set designer in the late 1930s, and it shows. Too cool at night. The Valley...San Fernando Valley. Yes, it's suburbia, but you have to see Roscoe and Ventura Blvds. for yourself. Mulholland Drive snakes through the Santa Monica Mountains bordering The Valley. Griffith Observatory needs to be on the list. Huntington Beach, CA--aka Surf City USA. And Beverly Hills is the ultimate tourist destination, though I personally don't think it's all that special. I have to ask...what about Indianapolis is really worth seeing? There's maybe enough to do to occupy a weekend, but that's about it.

Can't agree. When people put a lot of money and time into their homes, they have a strong financial investment in them. If someone else starts interfering with that equity in a negative way, and there is a law on the books, they have every right to protect their long-term investment. Frankly, that's pretty tacky for a front yard/side yard display, because of the signs.

Is it in the backyard, a sideyard, or a front yard? If it's a backyard and not visible from the street, I don't see what the big deal is. If it's visible from the street, though, it would have a negative impact on real estate values, so I would have to side with the neighbors on this one.

He said it blows the Lexus out of the water--I really don't think you can ask for more than that. And I didn't think anything was intellectually dishonest--Lexus isn't all fogey cars, and Buick generally has been. Perceptions are different.

The weight and poor power delivery is unacceptable. I don't care how fancy the cabin is--when even sedate Volvo woops your ass in the sprint, you got problems.

Liability waivers? As you said, there are places that do this...GM should get in on that business.

Yes, this FWD vehicle drives poorly. Anyone surprised?
