I'm itching for a new beater vehicle and my wife wants something 7-passenger to use to haul scouts around. I've had my eyes out for another XC90, but I stumbled on a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero nearby for dirt-cheap.

Except it's on craigslist. And there's no contact information for the seller. No phone number, no email, nothing through cl.

So I went to the address shown on the ad and it was there. It's pretty beat, but I'd be able to clean it up nicely. I left a post-it note on the side window asking them to call me.

I may go stalker on this damned thing.

Aren't monteros plagued by piston ring issues causing them to smokescreen constantly? My Dad had a 98 montero and it was pretty alright at the time.

I have to say, I love subaru AWD in houston rains. It just doesn't give a poo poo. With my old focus, I'd spin front tires on road paint. In my Miata, I'd have to make sure I watch the revs because vtak would try to kick in, yo. With this subie, it just goes. Awesome.

Oh, OK, yeah - I generally don't preorder stuff months in advance or whatever. This one already had good reviews, and the developer had made several games that I enjoyed already. Hell, half the time I buy used, but this one looked good enough, and I want the Mad Max franchise to benefit, basically.


I got the Ripper, but not far enough along yet to start swapping stuff. Only just got to Jeet's fortress last night. Did get an enemy car stored there, though. NOW I MUST COLLECT THEM ALL!

Bungie had such an amazing track record, it had amazing reviews.... and then they dropped a Cleveland Steamer right on everyone's collective chest. What a loving letdown.

Welp, off the wagon again and it feels loving great. I love wine so much. Wine and dubstep make a boring gently caress's life great. Looks like my talents with coordinate measurement machines, precision metrology, inspection, computer programming, and electron beam welding mean that the merger of two sister companies keeps me employed. It also means that about 45 people are going to lose their jobs :sigh: It also means my commute will quadruple to 22 miles.

e: for those of you nationwide that love cheap gas, Houston is seriously falling on it's face hard right now. The manufacturing sector is getting hammered so hard for this. We only just started paying off debts from the last downturn :(

e2: I would like a goon friend in Houston

And yet here we are in Alberta (basically, Texas North) and our gas prices just went up 16 cents per litre because gently caress you that's why. I can't wait to see what excuse the Oil Industry Speak 'n' Say comes up with this time.

Well those union pipleline assholes decided to strike and upstream means higher prices and well gently caress you because money :bahgawd: gently caress oil up the rear end with their own wireline tools.

I like how all my food got expensive in the grocery store when oil went up because it costs to transport. Now that oil is worth a squirt of piss my beef still costs $4.70 a pound for loving 80/20 (queue euro goons crying about $120/kg beef)

Are we still doing laptop chat? I have a late 2006 black macbook that's my wife's and I have a 2008 macbook pro. I dunno why these things last so long, but I have no intention of replacing either of them anytime soon.

My house is going to be torn apart on Friday and tile's gonna be put in. I have the pile-o-tile in the kitchen and everything. All the cattes are taking turns being tilepile kings.

Monday's my birthday and I get Mad Max: Fury Road!!!! WITNESS!
