    Me too...I want to see my Apple shares go up...
  2. Yes, but Hondas have higher resale than anything, right?
  3. I did a quick check around the office parking lot today at lunch... 5 '07 Camrys (2 hybrids), 10 previous gen, 1/2 dozen of the gen before that, 1/2 dozen of the gen before that (Taurus style from the mid '90s), 2 early '90s ones.. as far as other cars, 6 Priuses, 1 BMW 6-series convertible (CEO?), 3 Minis (including a Works S), a black Z06, a few Mustangs (from '65 to '07), a sharp black 4th gen Camaro SS, and countless SUVs of every type... Again, being in the tech industry, most of the Camry drivers are likely in their 20s and 30s (at least all the Camry owners I know are that age). Speaking of how certain cars appeal across generations, maybe I'm getting old (I do turn 37 on Thurs) but lately I've been lusting after Town Cars... esp. loaded Signature Limiteds w/ sunroof, NAV, THX sound, etc...seems like it would be a great commuter car (and get better mileage than my Grand Cherokee).

    I'm an Apple fan and owner (MacBook Pro, 30gb iPod) but the iPhone doesn't really interest me.. it's cool and all, but I'm not much for PDAs/Blackberrys, etc... I like a phone strictly for calling, and the smaller the better. I had a company Treo with my last job, and it was too big yet the keys too small to be practical for emails, IMHO... I'll stick w/ my KRAZR for now...and use the MacBook and wireless to surf on the go...
  5. All the Camry owners that I personally know are in their 20s and 30s..they seem extremely popular amongst men and women in my demographic (well educated computer industry professionals, usually those w/ kids...a popular configuration seems to be a Camry or Accord for the guy and a Sienna or Odessey or Pilot for the wife).. all moved here from other states or countries.. They are a popular car around here (metro/suburban Denver), seem to attract men and women of various age groups..I certainly see more of them around day to day than the equivalent Big 3 models.
  6. For a non-lethal but effective weapon, they really need to work on the brown noise machine...
  7. I see maybe 8-10 new Tundras a week..saw a turd-brown extended cab one today..
  8. Pretty close for me... my birthday is 6/28/70, my father's 49th birthday was 10/29/69..
  9. Even more striking in the article was the fact that in May, Chrysler had the highest incentive of more than $6,000 on its Dodge Ram... they are stuck trying to move these obese dinosaurs in a world of $3.50 gas..
  10. Interesting..I see SixtyEight is quoted in the article on the kotv website..cool. KOTV article (w/ video)
  11. Mmmm...Camaro SS TDi...sweet. A turbodiesel Camaro would be a great, torquey, high-mileage commuter car..
  12. Interesting.. sharp car. I thought it was silver w/ custom wheels (the pic you had in your sig a while back..
  13. Haven't heard that one... funny. In a similar vein, I used to work with a guy that had a Chevette and always referred to it as 'the 'Vette'...
  14. I can't recall the last time I saw ANY Renault..
  15. Sometimes I miss my first car... my '84 Ford Escort diesel. 5drs, 5spd, 52 screaming horsepower.. I still have my first new car, my '87 Mustang GT, though.
  16. I'm practicing a lot of willpower now as far as cars... I just don't want a car payment, but I've got the new car itch.. maybe in 6-12 months. I'm also in the process of leaving a job that I've been at almost 5 years, leaving a stable, good salaried job for a contract that looks to be more fun (and pay more also).
  17. If such a weapon did exist, it would be amusing to use against the insurgents in Iraq..those Muslim guys are more homophobic than evangelical Christians..
  18. Just hope this '57 Plymouth has a benevolent spirit and isn't 'Christine'..
  19. I wonder when Chevy will have competing models...maybe bring back the Geo brand to go head-to-head with Scion..
  20. Speaking of older Corollas, anyone remember the Corolla FX hatchback in the '80s? I worked with a guy about 10 years ago that had a white one...I saw one this morning that was almost identical to his..in nice shape..
  21. I tend to squint my eyes, furrow my brow...maybe roll my tongue around inside my mouth. Another thing is I always tend to do things with my hands in meetings...play with coins, fiddle w/ my cell phone, take my watch on and off, play with a pen, etc..
  22. Ah, the folly of Sixty8s plan has come undone.. if he had taken a Camry or Prius instead, the trip would have gone smoothly and with no problems.. Remember--- Toyota-- Moving Forward <tm>
  23. Though we started the war on questionable pretenses, and took out Saddam, it's not our war anymore..it's a civil war within Iraq...the &#036;h&#33;es are fighting the Sunnis....let them fight amongst themselves... it's not worth the lives of our soldiers to try and settle disputes amongst a bunch of Muslim nutjobs that have been fighting amongst themselves for centuries.... The idea of trying to start a democracy in Iraq is noble, but futile...these are people that for generations have only known monarchies and dictatorships...again, NOT OUR PROBLEM.
