PCS--what is that unusual roadster in your sig? Don't think I've seen it before, though the wheels look familiar.

Asstards yakking on their phone while trying to order at a a restaurant w/ a counter, while at the checkout line at the grocery, while in a restaurant, at the ATM, etc. HANG UP THE F*CKING PHONE and finish the task at hand.

Intersections with turn lanes but no turn arrows. Very short yellow lights. Traffic speed cameras.

Ice sucks. I don't really mind snow much, but ice is a whole 'nother story..

+1. I'm optimistic for a better way forward for the country as a whole. Economic recovery, better foreign policies leading to respect in the world (rather the butt of jokes and hatred worldwide), the end to two unpopular, pointless wars, etc.... it's a tall order for any President, but I'm confident in my choice.

+1.

And personally, I didn't think McCain was all that bad, better than Bush, and he's been more of a moderate in the past--- I thought he was too old now for the job and I really, really couldn't stand Palin and the far-right nutters she represents. I wouldn't have voted for McCain, but I do think he would have been a better president than Bush had he been the R's nominee and winner in '00.

I think I would have been quite dissapointed had McCain/Palin won. I can't stand the conservative BS, 20 out of the last 28 years of it was enough to ruin the country, IMHO. Their failed ideology is a large part of the cause of the mess the country is in now, IMHO. I'm optimistic for postive change now. McCain would have been the same old, same old....

I've never bought anything on Craigslist, but have surfed it a bit.

There can never be too many brands, IMHO....I'd rather have a diversity of choices as a consumer than everything be a Toyota.

Yes, I see more potential upside than downside. The alternative is a complete failure of Chrysler at this point, I'm afraid.

Heh-heh.. those crazy redstaters and their wacky ideas! They probably have their tinfoil hats on firmly now. True enough..he'd be Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage's wet dream, I think...Ann Coulter would want to have his love child. (it seems a brutal, fascist dictator is the ideal leader for many right wingers).

Years and years of focusing most of their investments on obese trucks and SUVs have caught up with GM, a big part of why they don't have money to invest in new cars these days, I think...

The right wingers are sore losers. They need to get over it. They lost. Try again next time.

Your email address is your PayPal id. I've used it for years with eBay. Very easy to use, never had any problems. I've used to pay for eBay auction wins as well as to pay for items from online merchants. Much more efficient way to move money (at least from the buyers perspective) than such 20th century artifacts as 'checks' and 'money orders', IMHO.

Wooo hooo! Yes We Can! I've tiVoed the inauguration, watch it tonite at home. Though my boss in the cube next to me is watching it on CNN streaming video, so I can hear it slightly over the wall.

I'm thinking of something like a Stutz Bearcat or a Model T speedster, something with a tiny round or multi-sided windshield on the column. No idea what was available in kit form, though.

By the way, the highs have been about 75-80 and the lows around 40 here in Phoenix lately. Decent January weather, but about 10 degrees over normal highs (darn global climate change?). Lots of interesting cars at BJ, too many to list. I didn't really pay attention to the Saturns, though.

Was a fun show this year...I stayed about 4 hrs Saturday afternoon. But I forgot to charge the battery on my camera, so didn't get that many pics. Watched a lot of the Speed coverage.

Windshield bolted to the steering column...sounds like something ancient, like from 100 years ago.

I'm all for it if it means Chrysler can survive, and the US can eventually get some Fiat and Alfa models (they have a lot of interesting cars in Europe).

Sounds like Fiat has taken a 35% stake in Chrysler, according to Reuters this AM. Reuters Article

Dogs do the darndest things.. my 3lb female Yorkie puppy tries to hump the 23 lb male Westie sometimes... and the Aussie and Silky girls try and hump each other.
