Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

GM still isn't really to market with a Hybrid SUV, are they?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They have a hybrid pickup truck. Which is kinda' lame-ass, as the way they did it produces very little fuel savings.

Yeah, I saw the Hybrid truck, it's really for a different reason, it's marketed to contractors and such. You basically get an AC generator built into your truck. Kinda handy.

Yikes. Okay. If my money situation stays as good as it's been for the past few months then I may be ready do make a move in the late fall. Was really looking at the CRD Liberty, but they can't be sold in CA due to a messed up CARB regualtion. They are super low on CO2 emissions, but can't pass the CA NOx emissions. Frustrating because they really are a clean emissions vehicle. It's also the fact that diesel in the US produces more pollutants that diesel in most third world countries.

Can you tell the high gas prices are really starting to chafe?
