Only the Hybrids have the engine shutoff feature. If you have a manual transmission Civic Hybrid as soon as you press the clutch down the engine restarts. Automatics it is as soon as the gas is pressed. The cars use the electric motor to start moving while the engine is quickly restarting. I've driven Hybrids up and down San Francisco hills with no problems.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Am hoping to have a Buffista meetup at the Toronado which is probably my favorite place in San Francisco!

I've seen "preventative" so much, it never occurred to me as not-a-word. It makes sense that it's not, now that you say so, but real publications even use it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Where in blue bloody blazes did I get the idea that seeing a nurse practitioner was supposed to be more economical than seeing a doctor? Because it is a stupid, false idea.
And so I'm going to see an actual doctor for my $150 this time around.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
ND, curse you! Now I am drooling over the Mercedes C230s on the CarMax site! Alas, my trusty 2000 Integra has only 50K miles and my plan is to drive it into the ground. My next car, however, may just be a Mercedes. Good safety record and affordable if you buy used. I want a black one with black interior!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Forget miraculous experimental treatment and medicines
Sighhh...
Do people not realize that most drugs are produced by massive multi-national corporations?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Eos is so ridiculously awesome. Very expensive, but one of the extremely few places I've ever been where you walk away seriously feeling like every bite was worth every penny. Hec and I have only been there three or four times over the past five or six years, but the quality has been consistently spectacular each time.
ION, this artist's entire website is making me swoon. I think I want six or seven of everything, and I feel like now I have to sign up for Secret Santa or Slacker Santa this year because these in particular are so very Made For Buffistas.

I'd skip, actually. They've been downgraded a star, due to spotty service and a slight drop in kitchen quality.
Re: Slanted Door, I'd go to Charlie Phan's newest project, Heaven's Dog. That's where his (and his bar manager's) energy has been concentrated.
Also recommended:
Dosa on Fillmore - they just opened and have been getting rave reviews.
Ame (Mission & 3rd) - Euro-Japanese, and worth every penny.

Forget miraculous experimental treatment and medicines
Well, not to mention that a lot of "miraculous experimental treatments" are....not so miraculous. They're *experimental* for a reason. Yes, sometimes they're awesome and eventually become not experimental because they are figured out to work, but...sometimes after you try them for a while, it's realized that they don't do much. Or only work for a very small subset of people. Or, say, cost $50,000 to make and only give people an extra month of life. Or maybe cost $50,000 and give not even an extra month to live, but just an extra month of whatever--seeing better? And yes, in that article they make the point that maybe that sort of thing might be rationed under socialized medicine. And that IS hard to hear....but do you SERIOUSLY THINK YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY NOW ISNT" MAKING THOSE DECISIONS????
