Job~ma for Matt.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

I feel like I'm choosing between the hot chick and the quirky geek girl. Maybe I'm making the wrong decision.go for the geek girl! They are always the better choice! Um. That means the Prius, yes? Seriously, if you will be driving a lot, you will save gas, and that will offset the price in the long run. As Pix mentioned, brakes last forever! I have a 2002 with original brakes, and going strong. And the newer version brakes slightly different than my 1st gen version, and the brakes last even longer.
However, if you will only be driving a little bit, occasionally, the Mazda might be a better choice (I can't believe I tapped that. I feel like such a traitor!)
ION, last night I heard the Tornado alert siren. As far as siren's go, it's rather lame, and not all that loud. Thankfully no twisties in my neck of the woods.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, have you checked Kelly Blue Book [link] or one of the other pricing sites? KBB offers quotes from dealers, but more importantly, you can negotiate knowing the real invoice price and dealer incentives. With the current truck, I offered the invoice price and while they were whining "You're killing us," I told them I knew they were getting a $1,000 kickback from Nissan. I love the internet.
Yeah, I'll check that out. Hm, it looks like he's already offering below invoice. Although, not if you include the cashback rebates. So he has about $900 more to go, I think.

Heh. Every now and then on weekends, I drive a lot, and I'd like a car I can road trip in, but on a regular basis, I don't drive too much, I don't think.

Hey omnis, if you and the Mazda need some privacy...

Hey omnis, if you and the Mazda need some privacy...I think I'll need the privacy with my Prius, to sweet talk it, and let her know she is my one and only car, and that I'm not oogling at other cars.

Polter's car-shopping is amusing to watch. For me, car criteria is "Can I afford it? Does it run? Will it pass inspection next year without breaking me?" Coolness and color are not valid critera in my world.

I always figured if I were to buy a car from a dealership, I'd ask the saleperson to show me the ugliest cars on the lot, as I don't much care to spend money on cosmetics.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My main criteria for a car seems to be, "Is it weird? Will it confuse people?"
I did get a guy to exclaim, "WTF is that?!?" while driving my Lincoln, so I guess it meets my criteria....

Hee to tommyrot!
I sometimes wish I had hung onto the baby-blue 1973 Ford LTD I had the summer between freshman and sophomore year of college, but there was no place to keep it on campus, and the engine was in such bad shape it wouldn't have lasted through the Milwaukee winter, anyway. But it was an awesome car to behold--I called it The Big Blue Boat.
