Yeah Bob, we've been friends since the beginning. I remember the first time we looked at each other. It was that "locked eyes" thing. It was my first day at my current workplace. There is a sizable age difference. He's 21. Sorry if that's not cool. I've posted about this person before, but it's been a while. Of course work issues play a big role in real or perceived boundaries. I am not his direct superior. He's a body tech. Honestly, and this may sound weird, but when Meggie was around, she softened things for me. Now it's becoming harder to deal with being lonesome for him. That's why I brought it up again.

A '73 Catalina coupe, very dark green with tan vinyl top. The car was in like new condition.

OK, sounds cool. I'll PM you for details.

It's like going to a fortune teller. They know what to say in a universal, ambiguous way so it fits. They give you one small part of yourself and you run with it. They know you are looking for a connection to what they're saying. It's like self therapy, or life coaching in a minor way. I see no harm in it unless you let it rule your existence. I don't read horoscopes, but I'm an Aries. For some funny reason, I do save my "fortunes" when I eat Chinese. Once I got one that said (paraphrasing here) "You will find treasure while travelling". The next morning I found a dollar in the wet grass while walking around the block. So that was cool.

Thanks to everyone for your care and attention. I never meant to drag stuff out of the dark. I just reached a point. Thanks for trying to understand. I have a lot to think about.

Excellent. Hope to be there next weekend myself!

You're such a buzzkill. The kid was joking!

I know, Chicken. Sorry. Dumb joke I guess.

Damn, she's gonna be HOT, balthy!

Ah, Vipes. I hear ya. I'm doing my own wandering right now. A person I've cared about since the first day I saw him has really been on my mind lately. I've known him for 3 years. I work with him. All I want to do is tell him, because I've had a feeling for the longest time that he might feel the same. This gay thing is so much bull$h!. It's not f@#king fair.

I must be a dummy. I can't get "Wedding Crashers" to play on my existing video players here on the pc. It keeps asking me to download some new player... BAH. "40-Year-Old Virgin" is really good. I thought it was heartwarming, innocent and cool. "Slutty Summer" is just a piece of fluff (not porn, CD/BP). Not really my kind of movie either.

Well if you tink, take a shower, bud. :AH-HA_wink:

OK, I went to Blockbuster and rented 3 movies because the weather sucks bollocks. "Wedding Crashers" "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" "Slutty Summer" I'm gonna watch 'em on the pc. Has anyone seen any of these? Let us know what you thought. I'll post my impressions later on.

Re: Sixty's sig... "SPOT THE CORVAIR!"

OK, good to hear.

Ew, who's the stringy-haired dude with her?

Excellent article.

I still like my truck, but agree it is time for a refresh. A new front end, interior, and the 3.7L 5 should be enough. I think Trailblazer is doing well at the expense of the Explorer. The TB has a slight exterior update this year on LT models (grille and bumpers), it's got the SS version, plus a little bit of brightwork to spark up the unfortunate interior. Even with those minor changes, it's been enough to make people choose it over the "all new" Explorer. Chevrolet needs to advertise the updated Monte Carlo, especially the SS version. Has anyone seen print ads for it? They shouldn't give up on it. Pontiac seems to be doing ok. They need a new flagship sedan, like now, and a new GTO to share in the momentum going for the Mustang, and huge response to Camaro and Challenger concepts. The G6 coupes need to be parked on the front row, they're sweet looking. There is a void at the bottom of the lineup... why not bring a "G5" out until the small RWD 4 seaters are available? They'd sell, but they need their own interior, and the 2.4L as standard.

The squared-off fenders, new bumpers with sportier graphics, new taillights and new wheels are a decent refresh for the car, imo. It's an icon as is.

She's gonna be the next Danicka Patrick. She's a cutie.

Has anyone seen Lance Armstrong's testicles lately?

Bobby, "dour" is probably close to the last word I'd choose to describe Kerouac. His stuff races through your mind at a fever pitch. His descriptions are so crystalline.

The new G-class definitely reminds me of a Jeep, especially in the roofline. It is nowhere near as distinctive as the old model, and you can almost guarantee it will not be as longlived as the outgoing version.

In that last picture up there, the convertible... the front end kinda reminds me of a Sunbird. If you get one Vipes, PLEASE don't put a huge, lopsided, lowhanging, tarnished fart cannon exhaust on it, k? It's one thing to have a nice, reasonably sized free-flow system on there, but some of the stuff that's out there is just stoopid.

Good point, Josh, which leads us to this: now that the dealership knows the car has been modified, will they honor the warranty? Yikes!
