Name an ethnic cuisine you tend to crave A LOT.
Wow... I've never heard of a Cuban, Equadorian or Ethiopian restaurant. I thought Ethiopians were starving and ate whatever they could find??? For me it's Japanese. I tend to have sushi at least once a week. Thai I like too, but that's a much rarer thing.

What Are You Listening To?
Correction... Done! The whole thing! WOOT! listening: Radiohead - Lucky. Unlike most Radiohead fans, I've always liked OK Computer better than The Bends. Can't believe OK Computer is over 10 years old now.

What Are You Listening To?
The first six minutes of "Free Bird" - over and over again. Trying to pass it on Guitar Hero on Expert, its the only song left and it's going to kill me. The intro lulls you into submission and then the insane solo comes and shoves the stars and bars up... there.

The head of the line
Try not to be too hard on yourself. The best thing you can do is to take it as a lesson but try not to dwell on "what could have been".

Which GM vehicle would you take in a contest?
Hmmm... I still have to pay for gas and insurance? Maybe a Solstice, if insurance didn't rape me? I think that's about it. I really have no desire for anything larger than a 4-cyl.

Pet peeves that people do while driving
This pretty much sums up my list too. Now, on the flip side, things I am guilty of that piss other people on this board off: - Cell while driving - Loud music while driving - Coffee while driving - Eating while driving (sushi probably being the most bizarre) I am always extra cautious / nervous when I know I'm distracting myself with one of the above. When it comes down to something important happening on the road and I'm doing something else, the "something else" gets dropped. Literally. I've thrown my cell across my car and retrieved it later. I've spilled food on myself, pull over and clean that up later. I just prioritize and pay attention to the road at that point.

SPY SHOTS! Volkswagen Passat 4-Door Coupe
"4-door coupe". The explanation that makes about as much sense as "one-piece bikini".

SPY SHOTS! Dodge Crew!
I think somebody spent to much time in an '82 Cherokee before designing the interior.

BMW 135i Cabriolet
So... you can get a 4-cyl gasoline 3-series, but not a 4-cyl gasoline 1-series? That's beyond retarded.

Do People Ask You for Directions?
I've developed this vaguely Russian-sounding phrase that I say every time some angry-looking homeless people approach me. Works every time!

The Underworked American
Well... I know a guy who just started at Union Gas who's getting 7 days/year. Also knew a girl working at a competing software company in Toronto where they got two weeks... but essentially if you didn't earn all that with unpaid overtime, they'd find a reason to fire you.

Dog Days - August
Saw an Audi R8 today. Dealer plates. Was going over a rough set of railroad tracks right next to it - the thing rattled A LOT, I could hear it from inside my car with the window up. Is this just because of the carbon fibre? Because of a taught sport suspension? What gives?

The Underworked American
Yes, my company (and most like it) start you with 2 weeks (10 days), earning an extra day per year with the company up to 4 weeks total (after 10 years).

Back to the Future - The Ride
I found the screen very hard to see (as did the people with me), and therefore the plot was almost completely lost. All that was left was getting violently bumped around and thrown into the people you're sitting with in something vaguely resembling a DeLorean.

Back to the Future - The Ride
I went on the one in Orlando. It sucked. I like the movie even, and I still thought the ride sucked.
