So anymore anal bleaching input?

'94 Geo Metro 3cyl hatchback, #1 piston is bad. I bet its fast! '88 Lincoln stretch job VCR!

So the people of Alaska wanted hundreds of millions of federal dollars for a bridge, got it, then didn't want the bridge anymore. Do you think the people of Alaska are that flakey?

Today, after class: Me (to a classmate): You just made a date rape joke in front of a room full of college girls, I'm amazed you're alive. People are freaking dumb.

What ever happened to the Colorado getting the V8. Have they hit lots yet? Is it going to be available RWD, or is it going to be 4wd only?

Depending on where your power source is, dual plugs could have come in handy. And it bears a vague resemblance to the Civic at some angles, but I do like the headlights/fog lights.

So the community organizer is out of touch with people while the guy whose wife if worth $100,000,000 knows what the average American is going through. Which is it? Is Obama a community organizer with no government experience, unfit to lead because he's done nothing more than work with a few South Siders who have lost their jobs, or is he the uppity, rich politician who cannot comprehend the problems of the average person? Those seem mutually exclusive to me. Do you really think either of these guys has to take a chunk out of their Wednesday evening to set the budget to make sure the mortgage payment doesn't drain the checking account so the utility payment doesn't bounce?

Hey, what about McCain's $50,000/plate fundraiser? Is he out of touch?

I wonder if Bush is going to attack someone (Iran? Syria? Guatemala? Haiti? Denmark?) between election day and inauguration day.

Co-Worker: Hey, what are you doing right now? Me: Contemplating the meaning of life. Co-worker: How's that going? Me: Pretty well, I think I'm close.

Just about every poll I've seen has either been a blowout for one candidate or the other, or a statistical tie. It doesn't matter if McCain wins Texas by 500 votes or 5,000,000 because he'll get the same number of electoral votes. National polls are inherently flawed, I dont put much stock into them.

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different." * Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story. * If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. * Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick. * Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable. * Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded. * If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience. * If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive. * If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising two daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian. * If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian. * If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society. * If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible. * If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's. * If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

John McCain invented the Blackberry!

A toughie, FDR would get my vote for best president. My favorite politician is another story. Richard J Daley, the Democratic mayor of Chicago for 21+ years. I'm not going to defend his racial policies, god knows he held the Equal Rights movement back, but he did a lot of good in other areas. Building up downtown, specifically. Also, the man knew how to rig an election using every dirty trick possible, he played a part in JFK getting elected.

I saw that earlier...HILARIOUS! Some of Rove's comments during this election season have been interesting, he's evil, but he obviously knows how to win an election.

1979 Mail Jeep Oh my god, I want it.

An aftermarket nav system would be an invitation to break in, thats an easy grab. Factory nav would be a pain in the ass to remove and would be pretty much worthless outside of the car because it wont install easily into any other car.

I have a feeling most dealerships are going to stock nav models, because they'll be able to get more out of customers who dont want to wait for them to get a Sport w/o nav.

:rotflmao:

We got hit with what was left of Ike last night. It decided to swing up this way, we got some hellacious winds and rain. It actually woke me up. Didn't wake anyone else in the house up, which is weird because I'm usually the heavy sleeper. My cable went out sometime this morning, I was actually online when it happened, but I dont remember when it actually was, the whole 3-5am timeframe is a blur to me. There were some pretty good sized trees that fell, and some roads in lower areas are flooded, but overall it wasn't too bad. We didn't even lose power, and my power goes out all the time for no reason.

+1

I think GM's recent suckfest is why political talk has taken over. Sema starts on election day, so we'll have wacky car stuff to talk about. The L.A. show is in late November, so we'll have car stuff to take us up through the holidays, then Detroit and Chicago to distract everyone during the inauguration and first 100 days (when stuff supposedly gets done) then I'm sure GM will f@#k something up early in the spring and we'll be back into the no good auto news problem.

The thing about McCain is, do you know where he stands now, where he stood in 2000 or where he'll stand 1/20/09? Is he just saying the Bush tax cuts are good to appeal to the base, or did he actually change his mind after voting against them?

An interesting Washingto Post article about Palin's experience as mayor. Again, she's barely more qualified than I am.

Hell, show up with some slanted sources that refute anything Olds (or anyone else) has put out there for debate.
