For some odd reason driving with a fuel tank pressing into my lower back just doesn't sound to safe or happy to me...but I guess on the bright side...it your car blows up you know you will get incinerated quickly. wink

I don't know what's so intimidating about me! I just know that people tell me I'm intimidating ALL THE TIME. What the hell? I don't look that much like a vampire...

Bright clear sun, warm(er) temps, and maybe it is just me but the world seemed a better place around here today. To top it off I was working outside most of the day rather then cramped up in my dank shop... Soooo HAPPPPY! I swear the sun recharges my batteries! Where I...

Whoot!

So.. I STILL don't have a new ride.

BUT, Fri. or Sat. I am going on a venture of pure ignorance to St. Louis to visit a HUGE classic car lot. The guy has more well priced bizzare old crap then even I can imagine.

Nothing say adventure like making a 5 hour trip in a classic automobile of questionable condition that you just...

I love it when things like that happen! It's good to know that people are still honest, trustworthy, and respectful when you return the favor to them.

What book are those names from? I have seen or heard them before but it isn't popping into my head. And I am totally a geek on that level as well...I name all my pets after characters in Shakespearean plays.

Yes I do know the hate the game not the playa joke, and I promise it truly is the game I hate. wink

The reason why I want an SUV is because I do go camping quite a bit (I would go more if I had a vechile in which to go), I enjoy driving bigger trucks, vans and SUVs, and I like to have the ability to pack up most of my stuff at once and go if I so desire. That being said...I'm looking for a newly used I think...somewhere in the 2000s. I still have a lot of looking to do and I have to talk to my parents about loans and all that jazz.

I hate vehicle shopping. Dealers are evil, private sellers are ignorant.

*sigh* The worst part of it is I bring it upon myself.... Can I just go out and buy a late model vehicle in good shape? Of course not!! Noooooo not me, I need personality, I need "style," I need patina.

Of course IMHO these things only come in 10-30 year old relics in...

IT totally did me in when it comes to clowns...I never really liked them before then but that was the icing on the cake...
