That's why the Japanese cars are so popular. In fact, when I search them on craigslist, there are all kinds of extra posts by people that are looking to buy these cars. I really like the idea that I'll be able to sell it whenever I like. IP: Logged |

Well, a car is the worst investment one can make. When you drive off in the car from the cardealer it already went down in price. buth i know what you mean. Be patienced and make the rigth choice. IP: Logged |

I just got a text from Amazon saying that my shoes are out for delivery today! I  technology!  Yeah, buying a car new is just indulgent. If you've got extra money to just throw away I guess it's alright. IP: Logged |

I'll cancel that new BMW order then??!!I am a fan of German myself. Have traditionally been an VW girl, but think they are starting to look old-fashioned now. How are you all? I nearly got arrested during my trip to the beach on Saturday! There had been a vicious dog attack and the police had traced my mobile phone number from my parked car registration (I wonder how, when my phone is registered to work). They called me whilst we were on the beach, and took some convincing that I had nothing to do with it. I told them they should come and see the dog I was walking with and they might understand. It was truly a bizarre experience!

I like germans car to. Well the looks of the car. They look so cool. When i am drving on the highway and a BMW, audi or mercedes passes by
my first reaction is to go after it. Strangely i never wanted to buy such a car, or put it as a goal to be able to buy such a car one day.I'm fine Esk. Thanks for asking. I like your bizarre car story. IP: Logged |

Maybe I would have been above suspicion if I'd been driving an M3!

I think it's a Honda SUV. It's pretty new. Him and I haven't had a chance to talk since we last went out. I wonder what's going on with the girlfriend. IP: Logged |

I'm already sick of looking at cars, and I've only been window shopping online. Too many options. I looked at Vespas, too. So pretty, and now they're throwing in their $377 helmet. I would have to take on a small payment to buy one. IP: Logged |

It does! It's sounds VERY me. I'm almost relieved to hear you say it. A shiny new Vespa for someone already accustomed to walking in the bad weather.This is perhaps the prettiest new one. I probably wouldn't opt for it as it's at the top end, but I love it. What can brown do for me?  IP: Logged |

Brown says understated and a shiny new Vespa is anything but. Class and prestige says a nice muted blue/silver. Nothing flashy yet stands up and says hello  ------------------

They don't offer blue. I'd consider silver. I do think brown is nice, though. Today I'm even thinking that they're ugly retro green has a certain allure.EDIT: They do offer blue, a Midnight Blue, on at least one scooter. IP: Logged |

The Vespa looks totally cool. Fun to sit on the backseat. You must be wearing sunglasses. Very Italian.Btw, go for the car. IP: Logged |

Brown is very Earthy, I can see it, and it's a bit odd really. The green is a good option for you in my opinion. You post many pictures of green leaves and grass and nature, I think of you living near trees and being happy. Happy= green! IP: Logged |

The big banner on this site is constantly making a new tab pop up, because I'm used to going to whatever page, and as soon as it starts loading I press the mouse wheel button in (to quickly scroll to the bottom). I always aim for a link-free area to click in, so I won't accidentally hit anything, but now that the big banner loads it -more often than not- ends up materializing in the space I clicked, which opens the new tab. I don't like it.IP: Logged |

I didn't tell the rest of the story with my shoes. I thought they were out for delivery yesterday, but when I got home I found two packages. One contained a new CPAP mask, which was prescribed, but which I hadn't ordered myself [strange]. The other contained a book I ordered the same day as the shoes. I was bummed that my shoes didn't make it.This morning my roommate and I went to leave, and I open the door to find another package, presumably my shoes. My roommate and I were baffled as to when they might have shown up. I got to open them tonight, and I took them for a little test drive/walk around the complex. They changed my gait instantly. It was weird to no longer take such long steps. It was great, though. I did feel like I was walking tall. I could feel the imbalance my feet were having to deal with. It's possible I may get some soreness from working these unused muscles. I am a consummate walker, though, so I expect the soreness not to be any worse than any soreness I already go through. These are the ones I got. They're almost $30 more expensive now on Amazon. Finally, a pair of black walking shoes. I've been needing these for awhile.

It's supposed to be a sofa, and those cells are supposed to be inflatable. I'm not real confident that it actually works, though. I just thought the design idea was interesting. Oh, and it's supposed to pack up into that spoon-shaped stamen. IP: Logged |

On second thought, it looks like gobs of belly fat you see on liposuction clips. Ugh.------------------
