I don't think the cloth is that bad... Then again-I see quite a few of them around here...

That sucks blu. Trust me, I know how you feel. I'm struggling myself at the moment. It's not easy, that is for sure. I hope things get better for you.....

4 or 6?

Just a few Gateway computers..... The desktop....Yes. The labtop....not so much. And I want to build a desktop too....

That reminds me of the story my salesguy told me a few weeks ago...One of his sales was involved in a pretty big accident during a test drive, and he had just come back from the hospital (just a few bruises), sat down in his chair, and then a customer ripped him a good one for not talking to him. He told me the owner told the guy the the last customer nearly killed him, so you might want to be nicer.... At least the guy bought a truck......

QFT. I think the O.C understands me.... And I would have to agree with him.... The internet is going to play a big part in sales...no matter which way you look at it.

Hmmm..I would have had the 87 Cavalier about a year then...with about 60k on it. My first J body...

Guns and Roses

Sadly, they somehow expect that too.. It's crazy......

Sadly,I've seen that happen......

What???? What makes you think I hate Dealers? That's a low blow Carbiz..... I actually like going to the dealership...not only to buy a car, but sometimes getting it servced there. I like walking around the lots looking for the new cars. I like to test a few cars ( or even trims levels) to see what I will like. I like talking to a real person, which is important when you are making a purchase like this. The problem is that many people do not think like me...at least, not anymore. Many people (including a friend of mine) did a little research, and Bam!-bought their car online. My buddy even had all his finacing done online. To some people. it is no different than buying a pair of jeans online. Sad, but very true. The reason I say that is because it is out there, and sooner or later-it is going to happen. And not only do I know quite a bit about it, but I've already worked on one of these projects. Now if the comsumer base as a whole continues to demand many choices (and not just be told what they need), it is going to make it harder for companies to do it... Times are changing my friend. I'm hoping to be able to see the best of both worlds...

All?

Now you've got me worried there Cap. Hopefully you don't have to go....but if you do-take good care of yourself. My family will keep you in our prayers..... I simply don't understand how stupid the government is sometimes. My brother in law was in the air force, and a good friend of mine is in the Navy. And they have some interresting stories to tell.... What is your gut telling you?

Funny you say that-I was just expecting it to happen. And it almost did- I watched a guy almost back into my Balt...he just noticed it at the last minute. I think he had another inch to go or so....

BSing about cars is always fun..... Might just take you up on that..... And now that I have a kid-that whole school bus crash is really scary...it happened around here just a few months ago...good thing no one was hurt.

Glad to hear you're ok......

I wanted to say "around here"....but I think I lost my brain this weekend..... (rough weekend) Don't worry...I like when we get new people...and our "old" members back too...shakes up the views a bit. I feel for my mom when my dad retires....should be interesting.... Anyways, good to see you back man.....

Well, I guess everyone is right... After this oil change...ALL of my cars will have mobil 1 in them..... The other Cav was already getting it....I decided to just do the Balt anyways...

I've already seen 3 09s already on the road around here....

Pretty soon you will be buying a car online and picking it up on a lot...no joke. Almost all the auto companies are working on that in some shape or form... And unlike most online retailers..I don't think the comsumer will get a choice in this change either... Though I'm sure there will be some "service centers" for test driving and service.....

Very cool.

Shoot me now......
