I can't wait until tomorrow. My baby comes back.

Anyone know if calaveras construction is still going on? I need to get some driving out of my system before I explode.

I run up and down Calavaras on saturdays after the weekly carwash.

There were still some construction signs up, but it was always open during the day.

Heh, I was just gonna post that I wasn't going to make it Friday anyways. Good thing I read old posts

So, I might be moving out of state soon, was thinking of selling the RX-8 and going EVO IX for the AWD or getting a big ol' 4WD Chevy Tahoe that is FlexFuel or Hybrid since I'll probably be in the snow. No more Subaru for me...what do you guys think?

I'm thinking the EVO IX.

I think you should go subaru and convert to methanol bro. There's a few places to find info on how to do it.

Flex Fuel is still expensive and hard to find. It's more of an environment thing than a savings thing. I think you're gonna have to make your own stuff.

I have to take mine in Saturday.

It is minor, though.

I'm not a fan of the corn ethanol we have in this country as it's just a giant scheme to raise the cost of my cornflakes, allow some politicians to appear green, and stuff the pockets of agribusiness. I'm not against ethanol in general (I LOVE the idea of the Brazilian stuff made out of sugar cane), but ethanol in this country is an utterly sick joke.

I say wait for the new STI.

See you all next Friday (12/19) since there is no meeting in Union City. I guess I read everything correctly.

Not sure if I'll go because I have to take my car into the dealer for warranty work Saturday to have several things replaced/fixed and I don't know how long it will take. Knowing it is the dealer, probably a long time. It is frustrating, but oh well. The appointment was scheduled a week ago.

Eventually I meet with the group.

Went to court this morning. I was the second person in line. Fine is $381 and not eligible for traffic school cuz i was 31 over the speed limit. You can only be 25 mph over or lower for traffic school. I was like, FOOOOOOK THIS! so i scheduled a date with the superior judge for the first available date which is April 2nd, 2008. Im sooo pissed. At least ill have my motorcycle soon

Hybrids are ****. The planet is better equipped to deal with some CO2 more than it can deal with thousands of heavy *** Prius batteries that are just doing to get dropped in the ground starting 2015.

I agree with the Brazilian method. Finally a good use for sugar!

Or we can use that sugar and hire a bunch of kids with hard core ADHD and have them pull us in carts or something. Its a win+win situation. Kids getting exercise and no air pollution!

Childhood obesity is a growing epidemic that requires all of us to pay attention to the needs and welfare of our young populace. Even, and perhaps especially, those of us who don't have kids.
