  1. oh it does. people are young, hook up, have babies, get married, then they split up and go through their second teenage phase. i see all sorts of that with the people who are my contemps. its like they are trying to relive the whole dating / bar / hookup phase. everyone needs a second chance to try to be happy i guess.....
  2. whitey restaurants on the lake often have good brunches with omelettes too. if its on a lake, and there's lot of white folk with logos on their clothes there, the omelettes shall be good. you won't find biscuits and gravy and grits on THAT buffet.
  3. yeah but isn't the R/T AWD?
  4. just read this on a website about the CRV equinox still has the crawling recreational vehicle PWNED in the mpg department.
  5. its not so much about how the omelette turned out as much as its about who you are making the omelette for and how the prceeding last few hours treated ya........ hotel brunches typically have the best omelettes i have found. always the dude with the chefs hat. he might just be a weekend student but the dude sure knows his craft.
  6. not directly saying that this constitutes 'asking for it', but as i had my kids at the mall to play again the other day (something you do when you are long unemployed) and seeing just how slutty and promiscuous girls even as young as 10-12 dress these days, i can't help but think these girls need a serious education on the messages they are sending and a serious education on understanding that its not neccessary to be fashionable and succumb to peer pressure all the time. i am not suggesting we need to be a nation of prudes but honestly if you put out the vibe (which may or may not be the case, in this case) in the way you live, people can in face make inferences on whether you would be more than willing to put themselves in and to give in in a situation like this. it is true about women wanting both sides of the fence. its exactly as you say. how many women want to have the job, but then really want their men to make 3x money so they can stay home if they want.
  7. 4 valves became prevalent because it helped the engine breathe better i do not see how going back to 2 valves is a good thing.
  8. i like dried fruit.
  9. neighbor has an SSR. love that truck. he got his in yellow. i thought if i got an HHR ss it would be a fun photo op, to take pictures of the two together.
  10. switched it up. clif bar for bfast, burger and salad bar for lunch. PB sand for supper. Jif creamy with Omega 3. that is good PB.
  11. i picked up some of the dark choc and white choc PB at walmart tonight. will try them and report back.
  12. tomorrw will be peanut butter sandwich for bfast.
  13. lol pertinent thread. i just got back from walmart and bought a $h!load of snacks in small sizes for the kid for snacks at school. speaking of fruit snacks, make sure it actually is fruit and not HFCS.
  14. c/d fusion 0-60 was around 8 seconds. 230/180=1.27, invert that = .783 * 8.0 = 6.26 seconds 0-60. i will round down to 6.2 seconds. fast enough for me! for a daily commuter. which would be faster than the/my original sho and damn close to a 3.6 equipped epsilon / auto. i will bet that it will actually show up with more than 230/240. the v6 came in with more power than originally communicated. i will guess 25/35 on mpg figures if equipped with a manual trans.
  15. accord coupe, now there is a coupe with bad proportions.
  16. my gosh, i show some love for a nice looking white g6 coupe and it degenerates into this........
  17. most pontiacs look great in white, and this particular one looked really good all clean and new. the coupe shape looked really good for some reason all new and white.
  18. and they do not make a fusion coupe.
  19. i am talking coupes here. just so turned out that i had never seen a g 6 coupe in white. much less with the new 09.5 nose which actually when seen from low and straight on is an improvement with the bumper shaping. the caras a whole from all angles looks pretty bitchen and i for one like the proportions. at least it doesnt have the gaping overhang in the front lke the accord coupe. the accord coupe is nearly as hideous as the zdx and crosstour.
  20. hey i have always liked the g6 coupe too. dodgefan likes to talk like he is ex pert in all the this an that of shaping cars but the g6 stands up pretty well especially to crap like the altima coupe, and the ugly honda accord coupe. g6 coupe is pretty nice and basically dodgefan needs to keep the piehole shut in this case. i'd invite him to give me an example of a competing coupe to the g6 coupe that looks significantly better.
  21. a brand new 2009.5 white G6 couple snuck up behind me today on the road and passed me, and then i followed it for a few miles. WOW. hot car! honestly, i had never seen the G6 coupe in white before. and the new beak? i had never seen on the road yet either. Stunning to look at, with the new beak, and in white. it had a tan interior i believe. i had never been stunned by a g6 that way before. tell me again why Pontiac is being killed? did anyone ever know the G6 coupe existed? should the G6 and g8 at least been given a reprieve and the g6 given a proper interior and NVH refinements? time to go white g6 coupe hunting..............
  22. if the ford ecoboost was in say, a mustang, with a 6 speed manual. i think we would see about a 4.2-4.3 0-60 if you interpolate the weigght between 4400 pounds and 3600 pounds. i also think that mks that is rated 17/25 and gets 22 in hard driving would prob see 20/30 in the mustang with consistent 25 mpg. for a tire shredder, that is not bad. i read yesterday that the 4 cyl 2.0 eco boost will FINALLY be out next year with rating of 240/240 or something like that. seeing as how max torque on the six is available at 1500 rpm, i figure on the ECOBOOST 4 it should make the 230-240 torque at about 2000 rpm. this engine is going in the edge and explorer of all things too so ford is confident in its pulling capacity. i see it going into the fusion and i bet we see 6.0 0-60 with the ecoboost 4 and manual, since the fusion is a pretty light car. that car will be the spiritual successor to the SHO in my book. and it will prob see EPA ratings of 25/35 with real world mileage consistently around 30. hows about an ecoboost next gen focus?
  23. just read road and tracks update on their long term MKS ecoboost. this car is 4400 pounds. 0-60 5.0 seconds. almost 22 mpg is their current mileage to date. it's like 21.7 or something. this is with them hammering on the throttle. all wheel drive. now, back to that 13 miles per gallon on the g8 GXP......... GM will need to start squeezing equivalent hp/litre out of the small block to keep it current in the marketing eye.
  24. i've been really down on salad lately. i think maybe its the winter instinct coming, the need to eat hot comfort food. oatmeal is a pretty good bang for your buck as far as comfort food goes. i've been kind of jiggy with a lot of the 'bob's red mill' cereal mixes lately too. oatmeal is cheap too, maybe that has something to do with it lately as well. breakfast for pennies on the dollar.
