Don't listen to him Adder. Drink up. And then find those exchange students. And tell one of them you need help with your texting. They'll think it's so cute an old guy is trying to text.

I did not. I, like many other drunks with insufficient knowledge of the terrain, headed for the biggest, shiniest gin mill we could find.

On vacation, hooked up to his computer, with nothing better to do than talk with his imaginary friends. At least with Adder, we know it's his iphone. But Hank's too old and his fingers are too pudgy to use one of those.

But, yes, Hank, that is a glorious sight. I wish you thunder and lightning. What are you drinking?

I was going to say about it I'd rather die than drive something like that a mid range Ford, but whatever. I was trying to be nice. We had an R and it looked like a rollerskate on wheels but had a 3rd row. very delicate car. not a suspension like a truck. The gl is nicer. I hate the M. we had an M loaner and felt sardined and it SUCKED GAS hard. wtf? more than GL and less cylinders.

Re: cars. the bluetooth with the HTC EVO: the evo can act as a hotspot for wifi....for a laptop while driving

and then the satellite radio.

I have no use for DVD had that in the R total waste of space and time.

I really want an Audi Q7 or Q5. they are quite pretty. That and saw an ugly old chick on my bus in a Cayenne. wtf? that's a trophy wife car. and the X6 is also fugly looks like an aztec.

Name a minivan that meets your aesthetic and/or sexual standards, O Wise One. Or am I right in thinking your way of transporting four kids would be two of them in a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser and the other two in a navy blue E32 7 Series?

Doesn't the land cruiser have a 3d row?

Anyway, I assume the way Seb would transport 4 kids is to tell the other parents how much he's been drinking. And then let them figure out how to get the 4 kids to chuck e cheese or wherever.

Wrong. The guy who rags on you all.night. about how much money you wasted paying $X for a new car, when his buddy could have gotten you [car that's $X+25k new, but that you wouldn't want to drive] for $X-10k, is more douchey still.

edit--my curiosity got the best of me and I discovered something car-price related that's even douchier.

It's douchey to talk about what your car cost or how much depreciation you avoided with Certified Pre Owned, which you do avoid.

But I still think it is douche-y-ier still to be house poor with a jumbo mortgage and clunker -tied together with a shoe string, or cheap cars. Everyone wants a decent house but at a certain income level it doesn't have to be "either" "or"

it should be both. nice house. nice cars. equilibrium and commensurate.

The Honda Odyssey. I have traveled from Philly to the beach many times in a fully loaded one of these and found it one of the most comfortable, smooth riding and roomy vehicles in which I've had the pleasure to ride.

You can mix the most complex of drinks in the back with no fear of a pothole putting the cocktail all over your trousers. If it had electric outlets and a Foreman grill, I could probably whip up a decent steak in the thing.

I fully admit it. I sneer down my nose at the concept of acquiring new. It's fucking madness unless you're leasing.*

That I'm live and let live doesn't rob me of the right to insult.

*I insulted my father about it just yesterday. His reaction was similar to what I imagine yours to be: Politely, "Fuck off."

Dissent. He claims the texting problems aren't caused by drunkenness. If the troubles stem from having fingers too fat to type - the kind that resemble Swedish mini-sausages connected by undersized joints - the lasses will recoil in horror when he asks for an assist.

While my wife would go for the 2xMini concept in a heartbeat, we will need a car that can transport our many kids (think almost as many as the Atticus brood) and friends/etc. in a carpooling arrangement. Oh, and we don't want a minivan or a SUV. Or a bus. And my kids can't ride Vespas yet.

Models with the DVD player have an outlet in the third row for video game consoles, etc. Does the Foreman grill need more than 115v?

We love our Odyssey. And as of this week, it's paid for. Wahoo!

I loved mine. Great handling. Not a ton of get-up-and-go, but how much street racing are you planning on doing? They're inexpensive, fairly well-built. Currently no-cost maintenance for 3 years.

You're buying a go-kart designed by BMW. What could go wrong?

If you drive off the lot. turned around back in and said "I change-d my mind"

they'd knock of 5K. wait a week, 10K I'm exaggerating but pls.

Certified pre owned for any luxury to mid luxury vehicle makes sense. Merc has a 50 point inspection and you get the cars for close to 20K min less. I keep looking at Volvo but it is very meh. I would not pay new for one. at all.

and I feel like the guy that shilled the development in South amboy lol

But I am a huge devotee to CPO. you get the balance of the warranty and then the cpo warranty kicks in.

As for kids parties, Space Odessy is far better in Englewood.

kid's kingdom sucks

or the one in the Pallisades Mall. the more high end ones.

anyone that says "they aren't that into cars" or are Indifferent...sorry there is a huge diff between the interior of a plasticky Ford and a Merc. the ride is diff
