New vs. Old

[BobV]

Why I like my new model car.

1 My truck is now full of mulch waiting to be spread
2 In my truck everyone passed me.
3 35mpg(car) rather than 20mpg(truck)
4 The smell of that last skunk still lingers.
5 No static on my am radio stations.
6 CD player
7 The car is still relatively clean.
8 Babe magnet
9 Babe magnet (yes it warrants saying twice)
10 Babe magnet(well mabe not but I'd like to think so, so don't spoil it for me)

Why I sad not to be driving my tuck

1 Everyone used to watch out for me
2 I didn’t care if it’s doors got dinged in the parking lot.
3 Gun rack
4 Used cheap tires
5 Paid off
6 Less insurance
7 I was always first in a line of cars.. everyone always seemed to be lined up behind me.
8 Got to piss people off by driving very slow (goes to #7)

I don't know what kind of truck you have but my trucks are exactly opposite of what you have.

16 mpg truck....car =??? mpg (don't own one)
Tires = $600 (for cheaper set) (around $135 each)
No problems going 65+ mph (I have the speeding tickets to prove it )
Babe magnet...well this one is subjective. If you are trying to pick up women in downtown Cincinnati then "NO" the truck is not going to do it for you. However, if you live out in the country where I live, most women would rather ride around in an old raggedy beat up Chevy 4x4 than in a mustang. Besides, the mustang will get stuck on the way back to the pond and you have to carry the blanket and beer with you, where as in a truck, just toss it all in the back, full bed, cooler full of beer, remote fishing pond and a buck wild country girl...that's livin son

I can't take riding in a car, feels like my ass is dragging on the road and people can see inside when stopped at a light sometimes, that is no good.

[BobV]

yup I switched the gas milage... sorry. But seeing as my truck is a purple 95 nissan with 300k and smells like a skunk anything else is a babe magnet.

[tgpo]

My tires are $44 each.

I'm ready to get a new car. Once I'm out of school Evonne wants me to get a Mini, which is perfectly fine with me

Yea, I guess that would be true

I have a 91 Chevy 4x4 (200 K) and a 97 Chevy Tahoe (110 K) 16 mpg driving downhill with a tail wind

@TGPO - a mini? "Evonne" wants me to get a mini Hmmm, looks like you are getting a mini...you aren't married yet but you might as well learn now, what she wants, you get

[tgpo]

@TGPO - a mini? "Evonne" wants me to get a mini Hmmm, looks like you are getting a mini...you aren't married yet but you might as well learn now, what she wants, you get

It's sweet though because I already wanted a mini. With a nice british flag on top

Put me on the list for a Mini as well. BMW puts out a factory made upgraded model called "The Works" that makes it even more horsepower than the "S" model. I saw it on BBC's Top Gear show along with some other tuner companies SICK and twisted HP upgrades....and of course I DVD'd it to watch over and over again....one can dream can't they?..
I WANT one but the baby "stuff" would just ruin the experience..

Not more flag crap! someone in the army is gonna go nuts at you!

seriously, why british? i'm not arguing with you, just curious.

Bring em' on!

Because I woudn't be caught dead with an american flag on top of my car.

I dunno. The british have always had a more laid back, more commical spirit about them, at least as it seems to me.

Plus the british flag looks much cooler than our flag.

[flaninacupboard]

hahaha

amen to that!

Sounds like maybe you an evonne will be staying for a bit more than a holiday here.....

If we have it our way, maybe we will

Remind you of a film? "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Classic!

[flaninacupboard]

i haven't seen the remake, but i hope they did that line justice (i seriously doubt it)

[Cobra]

The remake is nothing like the original. It's almost a totally different film. They're still after some security trucks, and control traffic but apart from that... They also missed out that line! I was shocked!

Still, the new film is really quite good. Worth renting, at least.

Now, normally, you seem like a sensible fella but I feel I must interject at this point.

The remake of The Italian Job is shite. Yup utter shite. So bad that one of its stars, Edward Norton, refused to promote the film - even to the extent of returning a Mini he had been given as a promotional gift.

Even the sight of Charlize Theron in her underwear couldn't redeem this steaming pile of manure.

[flaninacupboard]

hmmmmm. *strokes beard*
We'll see....

[Cobra]

Ah-hah! Threadjacking Opportunity!

The remake of The Italian Job is shite.

Is not!

you seem like a sensible fella

Eh?

Cobra

[VCDHunter]

Oh Yes it is !

I did say normally

I still maintain it's shite though :P

[Cobra]

Fair play. 8)

And here I thought you had some kind of Austin Powers fantasy that you were going to bring to life...

and if Charlize Theron in her underwear came with it....I'm buying 2.

[teegee420]

I enjoyed The Italian Job quite a bit. Predictable as hell, but enjoyable. And for the record, the sight of Charlize in her underwear can redeem just about anything in my book.
