Sounds EXACTLY like my dad. Finally when I was about 19 my mom wanted to buy a car and WE bought one, without my father. I did my research and found a cheap Corolla. It was the best car my parents had ever owned to up until then.

This is what I was thinking too. I’ve only owned 2 Celicas, 1 Del Sol and currently a Miata. I’ve never had a crazy repair on ANY of them. Sure I’ve replaced clutches and expensive things but it was pretty clear everything I’ve replaced just plain WORE out (my latest car had the least miles on it of all of them when I…

Love it! I ended up getting a SYM HD200 when my Vino died. Riding 40 miles a day on LA streets I had to get something with more power and bigger wheels. I would have loved to get a Honda or a Yamaha but all their larger CC scooters start getting REALLY ugly. I don’t like the elongated cruiser look. I thought about a…

After googling it, they can be either apparently. I consider them cookies always.

The Barnum’s animals are superior to all other animal crackers, unless we start talking about FROSTED ones, then it’s a whole ‘nother game.

This could very likely be the problem, well my extra lazy “attempts” at swype and assuming it should just KNOW what I’m trying to spell by not trying at all.

I tried several 3 party keyboards but it seemed the longer I used them the less accurate they got. I quit using Swiftkey because it just wouldn’t spell anything right after awhile. I found google keyboard to be faster.

In LA? Really? I work in automotive/advertising/photography, seems to be plenty.

Did you just move here? Lol

I’m with you. I grew up in a small town in the Midwest, you couldn’t PAY me to move back to the midwest, ever.

Um, it’s the end of July and nearly August. From now through September is when it actually gets hot here. I don’t think it’s that unusual.

True the drought is pretty bad but other than not watering your lawn (which I don’t have) there has been no water rationing other than voluntary which I don’t have a problem with no matter where I live. Massive heat waves? Not in LA...sure it gets hot here but that’s to be expected and I can usually count the number…

I ride two wheels so traffic is a non-issue. I do agree if I had to drive a car my quality of life would definitely diminish.

No snow, no humidity and no mosquitos.

Yeah had a head found in Griffith Park in LA by someone’s dog on a walk. Then they had to find the body. Ugh. Your DOG FINDS IT.

I did a focus group on them before they came here and that was one of the selling points they mentioned. I’ve yet to see one parked like that in the US.

Totally. It just made no sense in any way.

And Lolita WASN’T SEXY in the book.

It felt like an adult male lesbian fantasy to me the whole time. I honestly couldn’t believe a movie could be that bad.

I second that. TurboScan is great.
