She feels some pride because she has attempted to import a very witty saying on the board, but she mangled it in the process. It is up to us to call her on it.

Yes, I am a tribute sock and I may be going beyond my raison d'etre by taking on ABBA. But you are looking for entertainment, no? And ABBA can be entertaining if we get her ticked enough. Ty is willing to help.

Oh, no, Ms. Einstein, you don't run things by stupid people like me or engage in flame wars with the Robust One. Instead you engage in a flame war with the Robust One's little puppy whom you think is so stupid? Who's up to whose standards here?

Actually, I did have a car, once, for 7 years and it wasn't worth shit on trade in - they never are. Once it's out of warranty, it's history.

hmmm, two years already on the current TF-Mobile and still smells new. My rainy-day car is 8 years old and still smells nice (but not new). Have your car detailed once a week, don't eat or drink in it (or allow anyone else to) and it will stay nice for years after it is paid for. You are correct, trade in can be tough. But you can always find someone who will pay a couple grand for a decent running car. Or donate it and take the tax write-off.

Much like TITS!!!!!, I brought the commonly used phrase "Bitch please" to this board. Did I originate the phrase? No -- I never claimed to. Did I use it first on this board? I think so.

If you want to type "bitch, please," go ahead. However, you are offensively incorrect when you say that "bitch please" is incorrect. It is much more than correct. It is supercorrect. Says who? Says me, the Genius Known as ABBAKiss.

You got a problem with that, take it to Gene Simmons.

Post 9/11, with the new car interest rates hovering around 0%, I don't know why anyone would lease rather than buy. I got a $40k car at 0.9%, will pay less than $1,000 interest over 4 years and have something of value at the end that I can drive for another 5+ years for "free" and still be able to make a few grand in resale or trade-in.
Congratulations --- heck of a deal. This has been Timmied to death on the Gadgets board, but I'll put in a pitch for leasing (about which I'm ambivalent, because it depends on the role your car plays in your life, which varies by person).

The 0.9% purchase financing you obtained stands in place of a dealer rebate that you could successfully negotiate into the purchase price under a lease and obtain the same benefit, assuming you're getting a competitive money factor by shopping for leases (e.g., looking to credit unions you're eligible to join). If you can recapture the hidden dealer rebate into a lease, you might choose to lease anyway if you can negotiate the best possible a purchase price at the front end of the lease (including the rebate), and the highest possible depreciated value at the back end, that has the bank bearing the risk that the actual depreciation winds up being greater than the parties anticipated at inception. You're then putting the bank on a market risk that, as an owner, you'd be bearing. But you have to be smart about it.

Sure, you're riding the steepest depreciation curve by financing only the first two, three, or four years' worth of depreciation, but you're also bearing that depreciation if you buy and buy again in the same timeframe. Which some of us (not me) do, because our car needs change that quickly. I have a GA friend leasing an M3 which he'll be able to dump when he gets married this fall --- not perfect timing, but close --- and gets something more practical as he settles into married life. Leasing lets you drive the topless roadster for the brief window of life before you start thinking, "Hey, that Honda Odyssey isn't so bad . . . ."

Leasing can be a better financing option for people who drive less than 15,000 miles a year, who keep their cars in good shape, and who tend to get a new car every two or three years anyway, if you can get the bank to bear the risk of steeper-than-anticipated depreciation.

But I suspect when you say you "never understood car leasing," you really meant you don't fall into the above description.

Kreuz Market in (I think) Longhart is better.

Not a particularly interesting story, but since you asked. There was one time when and ex and I were, um, between acts if you will, and things were just beginning to heat up for another round when the phone rang. I, naturally, encouraged her to ignore it and continue with the festivities. She, knowing it was her mother, insisted on answering. So much for additional rounds.

The worst part was that she felt bad about it later. So women apparently just don't have their priorities straight.

Well, using only "Friends" the TV show as reference material, the answer to your question is yes.

Otherwise, there's no really cool term to describe it.

2. Bahamas, a few years ago. Workman who is fixing air conditioning duct in ceiling outside our room uses doorknob to balance. Doorknob turns. Man literally falls into room where Mr. Kiss is performing vacationlinguous on me. Man so stunned he doesn't move. Finally stands up, apologizes, and leaves with Mr. Kiss screaming at him and me screaming in general. Can't tell man apart from other workers in uniform becasue never focused on his face. All workers seemingly snicker at us for remainder of vacation.

Even JRUSS, with his sorry, redundant, paigow's-saggy-breast flames were more imaginative.

Chef with polls. It's like y2k or something.

This one time I was right in the middle of having sex with this guy and unbeknownst to us, his stoner roommate walks in the room and sits down in the corner and starts watching us. I guess he liked what he saw and planned to stay for a while so he decided to roll a joint, or he had one on him or something like that. Anyway, I heard this voice, but I ignored it. Then I heard it again "want some?", but I ignored it again. Then his roommate is standing over us saying "I SAID, DID YOU WANT SOME??" in a really loud voice. (I think the roommate did not realize that the show was going to be over if he disclosed his presence and offered us some of his stash).

So that is how we were interrupted. And of course I wanted some. It was kind of him to ask.

I have one ex-law-school-roommate who now knows that "Take a message!" does not actually mean "bring me the phone at this very moment without knocking." I think he was blinded for several days by the pasty whiteness of Mr. (pre-wedding) Lex's backside. If you are reading this right now and know who you are - you can't say you weren't warned.

Reminds me of another time actually. This time, is in college with a party going on in the house I lived in with some friends. After a few previous flirtatious encounters, this chick and I are going to head to my room to listen to the Beatles (how lame and college-like, eh?), just the two of us.

So, a few minutes later we are on the bed, she beginning the process of going down on me, the door opens (no lock). Its her ex-boyfriend. And my housemate.

Thankfully he closed the door again and we got back to business.

There are valid reasons for people to lease. For example my mom lives somewhere that she needs a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Anything less is not an option. And she doesn't have the money to buy one and keep replacing it every 3-4 years. So her choice is to own a old, decripit car that will require loads of repair expense or lease a new one every 3 years. I'm very happy she chose to lease. I no longer have to worry about her breaking down in a 10 year old piece of shit Jeep in the middle of winter. And I wasn't counting on the vehicle value as part of my inheritance anyway.

That said, I own my car. And it's paid off. Hate car payments.
