Northie, although I may have missed the point initially by suggesting a Trailblazer Super Sport, I think our boy Camino is doing this so he can save for a new Camaro when they come out. He needs something much cheaper, yet reliable, to sustain him until he can fulfill his goal.

You're a very nice boy, mute. I like you.

So are the headlice! I swear, it's a reincarnation, front and rear. OK for offshore markets, but it wouldn't play in Peoria.

Colin Farrell Boyshorts?

I fell off the tuna boat in 1994 (NO OFFENSE TO OUR AWESOME FEMALE READERS AND THE MEN WHO LOVE THEM THAT WAY). Yeah, I never talk about women in a "straight guy" way to anyone. I stay quiet. That silence should be deafening. Shock?

Montgomery County is one of the higher cost of living counties in the USA, also one of the richest, income-wise. I won't even try to account for all the money I've spent on buying vehicles. I try to never be "upside down" on a car loan... right now, I am upside down by about $300 on the truck... first time ever (based on a recent trade-in bid). I am able to save money, but not as much as I'd like. I have a mortgage, utilities, taxes, food, vehicle, and insurance bills monthly. I made $46k last year, and I feel it's not enough, even with a modest mortgage of $760/month. Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is to save money, but you have to do it if you want a better life.

That "father" wouldn't be worth a $h!. Nos, when you tell him, do you want me to be there to punch his ass out? I'll bring Viper, he can kick him in the shins a few times. Then maybe he'll settle down and give you a hug and things will get back to normal. Yes, I am in contact with my dad. He lives 10 minutes from me. I have a good relationship with him, not as close as it could be, but that could be my fault as much as it is his. It's that retardation thing. I wouldn't want any ugliness to occur between me or either of my parents. I hold them at arm's length now because of this. That should be another indicator to them, after all, I live so close now.

The snow is removing some buttockses here in Lancaster right now. Have fun out there, Camino!

Hmmm... a late-model Cherokee is hard to beat... bulletproof 4.0L inline six, straight-axle suspension that's easy to lift, plentiful parts and aftermarket support...

Damn, the sun was halfway out this morning, so I said "F**k it!" and headed east on 30. I was going to call you, B&BL, from the road, to see if you and Camino still wanted to meet up. I stopped at Applebee's and had a disgusting lunch (burnt chicken breast, 2 week old pico, cheesecake served on a plate with dried green stuff stuck to it), then, when I left the restaurant, it was snowing its buttocks off, so I put my tail between my legs and turned back toward home.

Thanks stace, you're right, I know this. It's just putting everything out there that's tripping me up, because I don't want to be "in your face" about things, ya know? I just want to be matter-of-fact, with no fanfare. Oh... he's very ambiguous. It's maddening, and it keeps me hangin' on.

A local used car dealer has a nice light blue over dark blue 2 door Yukon. I've been thinking of checking it out.

Agreed, z. That was a perfect place for the GM logo. Buckling a seatbelt is a gesture of safety. It's an excellent way to convey a feeling of security. You're in a GM vehicle, you're safely buckled in. GM takes care of you, not only with passive safety, but from start to finish. Ownership. That's a very strong image.

On Fridays, I usually go to lunch with some guys at work (including the person I recently posted about in another thread). Yesterday, there were five of us. We had a hot young waitress. As usual, "my" person was the only one to make sexist comments about her ("she's hot", "I'll give her a piece of chicken", etc.) When she brought out a second round of drinks, one of the guys blurted out to her (about "my" guy) "He's gay, ya know!" Everyone laughed, I smiled, and she shut us all down with this: "What's wrong with being gay? I'm gay! There's nothing wrong with it!" She just stood there, blonde, beautiful, and watched them all squirm and stammer... "Yeah, I didn't say there was anything wrong with it..." I'm just sitting there taking it all in.

No, and like I said, it's really retarded.

Very cool. I just noticed earlier this morning, the upper air intake above the grille on the Camaro is similar in execution to the one on the current Z06... so it fits. Nice.

Oh, how exciting...

I usually go to my mom's on Thursdays for dinner. This week, the conversation turned to this: mom: "Did you see the movie Brokeback Mountain?" "Yes" "Did it have a lot of pretty scenery in it? "Yes it did." "I heard it was a good story. What did you do when they had their little love scene?" "Sat there with the rest of the audience." "Did you see a lot of gay birds there? You're not"/ (I cut her off mid-sentence) "Most of the people there were ladies your age."/ on to a different subject chosen by her. Sorry to blog up the lounge with yet another angsty thread on this kind of thing, it's just hard to take that leap into the unknown. I wish I had some semblance of guts, ya know? It's really retarded.

Rod Goodhead (admins, can I get a name change? KIDDING!)

haha HAAAA... Nos! You're a funny boy.

A lightly-optioned Trailblazer SS might do it.
