I was in that situation at O'Hare once also. The flight kept getting delayed because of thunderstorms. I had a hunch it would keep getting delayed until midnight and then be cancelled. I was right. Fortunately, I had already decided to rent a car and drive the rest of the way.

Sooooo AI since I'm having a baby soon should I get rid of my '06 s2000 and about $20k for a base '07 911? Gotta think practical you know. Baby seats n such.

Is the back of the 911 really big enough for baby seats? Aren't they pretty big now-a-days, especially with the rear facing ones?

Yes. There is a factory accessory seat offered which is basically a recognized commercial brand seat (forget which one) with a different base that fits properly in the rear seats of the car. It fit just fine in my 944 as well when I had kids small enough to need one.

Then, we know what must be done.

I hate it when I realize mid-elevator ride to the garage that I need my car keys. Oops.

That's cool, supposedly USDM lights usually aim more toward the right, I figured JDM would be opposite? That's what a lot of people say, on other forums at least...we know how good those are though. If that's the case though I would bet a European model would be good.

So the place I'm at ordered 15 expensive rear end cameras that use CAT7 from Germany. They spent 2 weeks on the docks in Boston before getting here. Each camera has 2 LED boards for wide angle light and spot light. All of the LED boards are are in the wrong position. In every camera. All I've done today is drill and tap all the I beams they are getting mounted to. Work is dragging. Which is why I assume my boss wanted to get Chinese food for lunch.

I've always used the terms "guys and girls" and "chicks and dudes".
CAT7? I might be out of the loop but I thought the only thing that uses CAT7 is 10Gig, which can be run on 6A too.

I put my cat to sleep on the summer solstice, and I live right where they do the festival including the parade. I could hear it going by outside but all I wanted to do was sleep. :smith: Loss sucks.

Oh man, I'm considering doing something really really stupid. As you may know, I drive a perfectly nice, reliable, well-kept and surprisingly fun 2000 2.2 Peugeot 406 with ~165,000km on it.

But now I'm looking at a 1997 2.3 Turbo Volvo 940 wagon with ~230,000km on it.

I paid 55,000dkk ($9200) for my 406 two years ago, the 940 is offered at 35,000dkk ($5850) right now. I know Danish car prices are wacky, but for comparison there they are.

Actually, I'm quite telling the truth when I say "940 wagon". What I should say is "what may be the single best-kept 940 wagon in existence":









It's gorgeous, and I am this close to calling the seller.

Turbo manual RWD wagon, with manual windows! What's not to love?
It's beautiful. I will have a Volvo wagon again some day, and this makes me jealous.

I dunno, I heard the new Forza sucks?

I haven't played it since January but it's still a fun game. It doesn't have many cars compared to 4 and has less tracks but what it does have is pretty fun. They've added the Nurburgring back in and added Road America and Long Beach. If you already have a One and the price is good I'd say it's a good buy.

Burger Chat addendum: if you have a Habit Burger near you and haven't eaten one yet, get thine there asap. I always ate there when I was in Santa Barbara and they finally opened one near me and it's bad for my health.

I used to love the teriyaki char, but that was more than a decade ago. :( Freebird's has also been expanding pretty rapidly, although interestingly that doesn't include the Freebird's in Isla Vista. I guess there was a Freebirds in Texas that had separate ownership and now it's franchising everywhere. They were owned by friends or something so it's not like it's just a coincidence of names.

I've put honest, serious hours of thought into moving to Alaska over the course of my life and I'm starting to think that it might just be time to do that one of thse days.

I really want to visit Alaska some day. There's something appealing to me about being isolated in a survivalist sort of fashion, but I would end up getting way too lonely. Off course that applies to Canadian wilderness too. But can an American just move to Canada?

edit: I'm also eligible for citizenship in an E.U. country, I need to take advantage of that.
