  1. Also, if you want to get really depressed, go to the Copart Website and look at all of the vehicles marked "flood damage" near places like Houston...especially those in the section marked "Classics" https://www.copart.com/lot/40000757 https://www.copart.com/lot/39001317 https://www.copart.com/lot/41370017
  2. Slacker...I put 700 mile tanks on my TDI Jetta. My R line Beetle, less so...but since it ahs the GTI power train...I am enjoying actual power and the DSG a bit. Glad you are ok...good luck with whatever you decide. It may indeed be a Total. My daughter works in insurance claims and it is amazing how little it takes to total a modern car.
  3. Quoted for absolute ungodly truth of the statement. I despise Ford and Lincoln, but even I will have to admit they ahve a winner on their hands with the new Navi.
  4. ...or something to that effect. Were i to buy any GM car at this stage of my life with my own money, Bolt would rank really high on the list. I just wish my wife ah liked the Buick lineup more when I showed them to her.
  5. I actually like Canadians better than Americans (as a general rule), and Greeks are some of my favorite people on the planet. One of the debaters on the debate team I coach is just fantastic...she is Greek...i think of you every time we go to a tournament. There is a form of debate called performance debate where you mix an artistic performance with debating in a college debate round. Pammy wants to incorporate traditional Greek dance into a form that can be utilized during a college debate. You are twice blessed...
  6. A vehicle like the Bolt would be perfect for me given that I frequently haul things.
  7. I am the biggest VW fan here but VW and anything electrical go together like ethics and congress. My vote for an electric would be Bolt.
  8. Impressively, a few years alter they have made this thing even uglier.
  9. Apparently you enjoy your Hitachi very well.... ...and in a few more years Chryco will build everything sparingly.
  10. Probably circling Columbus Ohio on I-270 because they are built in nearby Marysville. Seriously though....this was a lame era of Civic.
  11. What an absolutely gorgeous truck! We live in such an age of automotive abundance...like I said before...what an amazing time to be alive and be an enthusiast.
  12. Surprising, I thought Seattle would be fairly warm this time of year.
  13. 1. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.....> 2. Atheism is a non-prophet organization. 3. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? 4. The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the best cookies are. 5. What if there were no hypothetical questions? 6. If a deaf person swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? 7. If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation? 8. Is there another word for synonym? 9. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all?" 10. What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? 11. If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? 12. Would a fly without wings be called a walk? 13. Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? 14. If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked? 15. Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? 16. If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? 17. Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines? 19. How do they get deer to cross the road only at those yellow road signs? 20. One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people. 24. Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra?
  14. An old drover walks into a barber shop in Black Stump Crossing, Northern Territory, for a shave and a haircut. He tells the barber he can't get all his whiskers off because his cheeks are wrinkled from age. The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and tells the old drover to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin. When he's finished, the old drover tells the barber that was the cleanest shave he'd had in years, but he wanted to know what would have happened if he had accidentally swallowed that little ball. The barber replied, "Just bring it back in a couple of days like everyone else does.”

A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde. Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'" asked the lawyer. Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into the..." "I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer the question? Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'? Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road...." The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question." By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie". Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting, real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun in hand, looked at me, and said "How are you feeling?" "Now what the hell would you say?"
  16. Last Friday I had an appointment to see the urologist for a prostate exam. Of course, I was a bit on edge because all my friends have either gone under the knife or had those pellets implanted. The waiting room was filled with patients. As I approached the receptionist's desk, I noticed that she was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler. I gave her my name, and in a very loud voice, she said, “YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE. YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?” All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at me, a now very embarrassed man. But I recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied: “NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS.” The room erupted in applause. DON'T MESS WITH OLD RETIRED GUYS The Goldberg Brothers - The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner Here's a little fact for automotive buffs, or just to dazzle your friends. The four Goldberg brothers,Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Maxwell, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946 , the temperature in Detroit was 97 F degrees. The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter. Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 F degrees inside, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off almost immediately. The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent. The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed. There was no way that Old man Ford was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords. They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown. And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show -- Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max -- on the controls.
