Yep, you are right. Donnie walks away from his PC, not believing what he just wrote...

Aren't most of 'em?

Most people always think 4wd and off road are hand in hand. They are not. I drive a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe 4wd. It is not an off road vehicle. Neither is the Ford Escape. The all wheel drive is fantastic for sure footedness on wet pavement. Better handling. And living in Iowa, snow. And the fuel economy differance between the front wheel drive and 4wd drive versions is very minimal. Also your resale value is much better, as the 4x4 is more marketable. Lets see, Subaru, Audi, Porsche and many others have made All wheel drive cars for years. Hell thats what keeps Subaru in business. Where alot of the confusion comes in is the fact that once the term SUV became popular, the companies started using the term for everything AWD. I laughed when Subaru first released the Forester, and called it and SUV, then they took the Legacy wagon and called it an SUV, when they different change a thing. Oh and you have states (Iowa for one) that license Ford Expeditions and Chevy Suburbans as passenger cars, even though they really are trucks. Built on pickup truck chassis.

Sheiss! My flight for tonite has been cancelled all ready! United Airlines excuse is bad weather. Its 2:38pm here now, clear skies, and clear skies the rest of the day and night. My flight wasn't even until 7:00pm. So I am sure there wasn't enough people for the flight, so they cancelled it. Gonna try for tomorrow morning now.

From Ford's web site: Front Wheel Drive MSRP starting at $26,970** Four Wheel Drive MSRP starting at $28,595** Front wheel drive is a waste on this vehicle. By the time you add any options your gonna be pushing $30,000. Plus the Escape's roll over and crash test ratings is one of the worst for an SUV.

We expect a full report!

My understanding, and I may be wrong, but the $2000 tax deduction for hybrid vehicles was kaput after this year.

Check out the new 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid. Problem is with the majority of these cars, they are $3-5,000 more than the non-hybrid models, and you would have to keep them for 8 years or more for them to make up the differance in the price vs mpg savings.

You should be used to pretty small teasing stans! Thanks Gunny!

Congrats on 7000!

A three year study was just completed on how different nationalities treat their computer equipment. The study found the following: The Japanese are most likely to clean their keyboards after every use. The Americans are most likely to spill food on their keyboards. The Ukranians use their keyboards for spare parts for their TV's. The Germans are most likely to pound on their keyboards. The French are most likely to give their keyboards to the Germans without a struggle.

No. Lottie's sister has to have a second spinal surgery in as many months. Her husband, who has been layed off his job, has to be out of state to attend a class that he has already paid $2600 in tuition for, that is refundable, but won't be taught again for 6 months. He needs it for a license to start up his own business. They need someone there to help out for two weeks, and Lottie couldn't take that much time off from work. So I said I would come out to help. Take her to the hospital for the surgery on Monday, take her home hopefully on Tuesday or Wednesday, and just help her as much as she needs it, take care of the house and pets, etc. Geg is gonna fill in for me with the "This Day in WWII" posts. I just don't know when I will have internet access to post the "Gaming Newz" and "Hardware Newz" while I'm gone.

A Scotsman is sitting in a bar in Cuba and is minding his business when a man with a large black beard walks in. The man goes to the bar and orders a shot of whisky. The bartender serves him, the man drinks the whisky then starts walking out the door. The bartender says, "Hey aren't you going to pay for that?" The man says, "Excuse me, Castro's Army." The bartender says, "Alright then" and the man leaves. A few minutes later another man with a large black beard walks in. The man goes to the bar and orders a shot of whisky. The bartender serves him, the man drinks the whisky then starts walking out the door. The bartender says, "Hey aren't you going to pay for that?" The man says, "Excuse me, Castro's Army." The bartender says "Alright then" and the man leaves. The Scotsman gets an idea and walks up to the bar and orders a shot of whisky. He drinks the whisky then starts walking out the door. The bartender says, "Hey aren't you going to pay for that?" The Scotsman says, "Excuse me, Castro's Army." The bartender says, "Hey where is your big black beard?" The Scotsman thinks quickly. He lifts his Kilt and says, "Secret Service!"

Two men were out hunting, and having no luck at all......suddenly a strange-looking bird flew over, and one fellow quickly took aim...his friend knocked the gun away as he fired, causing him to miss, and the bird flew away. "What the hell was THAT for?" the disappointed hunter yelled....."Just because I saw it and you didn't...." "No, no, that was a FooBird....if you shoot it, it'll crap on you, very unpleasant....and if you wash it off, EVER....you'll die!" Well, the other man was still pissed, to say the least, and when he spotted another of the odd-looking birds, he fired away. The bird immediately turned over in mid-air and deposited the rankest of loads on ther hunter's head. He ran for a nearby pond, dove in, and rinsed the vile stuff off, then upon emerging onto the bank, fell over dead. The moral? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If the Foo shits, wear it.

Gunny the Border Patrol agent is on duty. He spots two Mexicans and runs them down. They show him their papers (he thinks they are phony). Gunny tells them, "O.K. ya'll I have a test for you. I want you to use the words liver and cheese in a sentence." So, the first guy says, "I made a liver and cheese sandwich for lunch." Gunny says, "That was good, you can go. What about you boy?" he asks the second guy. He says, "Liver alone cheese mine."

Better get her off the beach quick before Rommel makes a move for her!
