  1. I've always wanted to go to Kings Island or Cedar Point in OH. They are known for having great coasters. Some people from grad school had organized some road trips to these places but I had to pass because, IIRC, I was going somewhere else for those days.
  2. There were some late 70s/early 80s style that were just as clevagey. In fact, the whole get-up harkened to that look: Cherokee (LOL) wedge shoes, tight Jordache (LOL) jeans, v-neck t-shirts with capped sleeves...and Farrah Fawcett hair.* *I'll have to find a picture I think the level of boobage is about the same and, IF it is different, it IS because of plastic surgery, which is now consumed more and more by the rank and file. Where was this Six Flags / Great Adventure? (Six Flags recently filed for bankruptcy). I haven't gone on a loop coaster for at least a decade. Also, Great America (Santa Clara/San Jose) had a loop coaster (where your feet dangle) lock up on them while it had riders on it.
  3. Definitely. I see. They would be on the same "axle."
  4. I was thinking about the SAME question, but someone asked it. I am going to Costco tonight to rotate the tires on the '92 (260K). If they continue wearing at their slow rate, they might get me up to 285K or 290K. I'm NOT going to do the Costco $350 to push it to my intended 300K milestone. I'll start with tire stores, but I've rarely seen a matching set of 4 there.
  5. Dollar Store
  6. I told a co-worker about this. He took it and got ESTJ ... no surprise there. All of my friends over the years have been in very practical occupations and were probably ESTJs or ISTJs. The website goes on to say how the *-NFP type complements the ESTJ or ISTJ type. I don't know about this. I would see it as a headache.
  7. The general seat shape in 97-03 had flatter bolsters and was easier to get in and out of. For a medium-sized person, this was more comfortable, but the protuding bolsters of 04 and beyond annoyed me. The hollowed out-headreast was a sporty cue. I'll admit it's not comfortable, but I generally don't lean back into the headrest. It looked good, but it didn't look comfortable. The GP that just departed would have been much better and more successful if it blended: 97-03 front fascia 04-08 rear lights 97-03 seating config with filled-in headrests 04-08 dash and console design 97-03 dash and console workmanship (better, at least) 97-03 slightly taller roofline It was too polarizing.
  8. TV commercial (Oy vey, "gold for less")
  9. I think that the design of the interiors was fine (shape of the dash/console) but that the craftsmanship/materials was not. The circular vents were kind of cool. I think that the 04+ seats were not comfortable, nor were they nicely finished..the prior gen had more comfortable and more nicely upholstered seating (they took a step back in 04)
  10. as in "Neese" response to thread: France
  11. You're talking 97-03 and not 04-08, right? That was a less polarizing car and they sold a lot of them. I've talked to people who have 97-03 GPs who really like them.
  12. So, if you were in the market right now, which would you buy? (You've bought Fords before).
  13. Just took it again...hadn't done this in about 6 months. It said ISTJ. Yeah, this is more like it, moving into I at +12, instead of E at +1. All I need is an "N" and I can be an architect. LOL.
  14. Tierra del Fuego
  15. I'm barely over on both E and S. I'm almost at midpoint, so I border on IN. The TJ never changes. Then why don't I like architects?
  16. I vaguely remember those. If a car is forgotten, that's not good. Nobody forgets a 70s/80s Cutlass or Grand Prix or Camaro or Firebird. Wait. Isn't that the twin of the Mercury Zephyr at the time?
  17. How about thanking ME for the boscaiola sauce recipe? LOL.
  18. There are some pasta sauces that have bacon, but they call it pancetta (pahn-chet-tah). The sauce I refer to is boscaiola sauce. It is a tomato cream sauce with egg, onions and pancetta (and sometimes even mushrooms). I prefer any of the cream-based pasta sauces (Alfredo, carbonara, boscaiola, gorgonzola, pesto cream) over tomato marinara-type pasta sauces. Bacon is an awesome addition to any food but, man, in large quantities, it is dangerous.
  19. Sonic Burger (do you have those in Michigan and the East Coast?)
  20. I am sure it will last a long time and you probably got it for a good (reasonable) price.
  21. community
  22. ISTJs are your engineers, accountants, pharmacists, etc, etc....people involved in precise detailed stuff, but the TJ part gives them some managerial aspects.
  23. marble
