Hey, I think it looks kinda neat. The side view has a sort of 60's kei-car-copying-an-Italian-coupe vibe with the clean lines and tall greenhouse.

Most highways (not freeways) around the US are 55-65mph anyway, so I don’t see how 60mph is slow, considering what you’d be driving. Unless you’re talking about the…

Excellent questions. I’ve thought about parts of this over the weeks, and the only thing I can come up with is that same old ‘global economy’ thing.

Because the stock market is based on emotions. Not facts.

Except that oil prices factor into far more than just what you put in your tank. Everything you buy pretty much gets influenced by oil prices...whether it’s a direct ingredient or utilized to produce/distribute the final product.

Stop getting facts get in the way of my internet comments.

The third 50% are caused by people using “Merc” to mean Mercedes when the whole universe knows “Merc” is for Mercury, and “MBZ” is for Mercedes.

I agree that people need to be more aware of their clothing in serious situations, though for the most part work is done in a more casual setting these days with less hierarchy implied. Basically we need to do better at teaching people how to dress without forcing false formality in situations that do not require it.

I’m admittedly part of the younger generation (30 now), but I really don’t see ANY benefit in a dress code.

I haven’t worn a tie—except when on stage in a wedding—since my last job interview more than six years ago. And I was the only one in that room wearing a tie.

I was stunned when a friend of mine said that she was going to trade in their 2-year old Quest to get something more fuel efficient. They were pretty set on it so I decided not to explain to them that doing that would simply cement their theoretical depreciation losses into actual losses and that losing ~$6k of…

Thank you.

There’s nothing cheaper than a car you don’t owe money on.

But with the price of gas as cheap as it is, fuel efficient cars are now even cheaper. Which means if you bought one now, and got it in tip-top mechanical condition, you’d be set for the inevitable rise in gas prices.

Two things:

Your wife sounds awesome. Is she single?

My wife jokes that every house should have birth control trickled into the water supply and you can only have your birth control turned off when you pass the parenting licensing program. :-)

Call a dealership and get the new trailer hitch per the recall. Hopefuly you can just take something with your vin and they will give you the hitch to bolt on your self, otherwise, you would have to drive the jeep there and have them do it.

Unplug the connector to the compressor too so you don’t add drag to the motor. I did that trick with my Disco until I rigged up a switch.
