Ha, that first paragraph made me laugh. What is with people running out to buy an SUV the second they're expecting a baby? Babies are tiny. You could fit one in a backpack and carry it around on a motorcycle if you wanted to.

And make sure you have an understanding employer!

Gotcha, that was probably what I was thinking of.

Are you sure? I could have sworn I saw something about it on my taxes this year, although it might have been a state thing.

What's the best way to find a job in another state?

I haven't tried it that egg way, but I know it's a common method. I'll have to try it sometime when I'm not trying to get in shape. :P

Deep frying is easy, and delicious! Deep fried chicken strips:

Make sure you also factor in long term costs. Maintenance costs in the long run might be higher on the hybrid, but you'll also get a nice tax deduction.

Don't forget tax breaks for buying a hybrid!

Yeah, yeah, point taken. :)

The money they're asking? They're not expensive cars. $22k for the SE model (with the nicer trim, leather seats, better stereo, etc.), that's not bad at all. I believe the base model starts at $18-20k. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Definitely not a ripoff. It's slightly more than an equivalent Korean sedan I…

It's the Korean Avalon. yawn

It's pretty much exactly what you described, just with different names. Definitely a lot of fun.

Isn't that just Manhunt? We played that at Christian Camp too, but we just called it manhunt.

Agreed. Anyone who has ridden a motorcycle regularly knows that minivans are the most dangerous vehicles on the road.

How sure are you about that?

It's not there to make it lighter, filling tires with nitrogen makes them hold a more consistent pressure (less expansion/contraction due to temperature).

Interesting. I owned one for about a year, and while the steering was tight and quick (which I really liked), the body just rolled way too much for me. For instance, I would never take it to Autocross, because it would flip.

I think were going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't know own a Camry (although I used to own an '88 Corolla), but my fiancee had a Camry until a couple of years back (she has a Corolla now). The Camry wouldn't be my first choice either, in that class I'd rather have an Optima, Accord, or Maxima. But I…

That's great!
