    Romantic cars?

    Bah, a Diablo, a Countache..... a DeLorean.... OK, maybe that's more "sexy" than "romantic", but them is some really HOT wheels, no pun intended.

    The most you would spend on a new car

    I think it would depend on the car, in truth.... I refuse to own a Maserati, as an example, and would adore an old Diablo. I'd rather a castle to live in and drive a beater, though. :)

    Spot bots

    Spot bots are little spot-cleaning carpet cleaners, and I LOVE mine for doing the carpets in the car and the van. I don't pay to take my van to a detail place anymore, me and the kids make some of it in the front yard instead.

    Favorite Drink?

    Hmmm, ,a type of mocktail that involves cranberry juice, tonic water, and sliced lemons.... It's actually really really good. It need to be let to "meld" in the fridge for a bit though.

    Do you cook?

    You bet your sweet bippy, and I've a rep for being damned good at it, too. If you've never tried it, grilling salmon on a cedar plank is a MUST TRY.... yummers! And I have enough different salad recipes to serve a different one every night for an entire month.

    Where do you draw the line with drinking and driving?

    Like Donald, I was horribly irresponsible as a 20-something when it came to booze and driving.... but understand, that's also 25 years ago now, and the laws and such were far different than they are today (and I lived in a very rural setting). My cousin was killed by a drunk driver, 3 days...

    Car Thieves - new methods

    BAIT CARS are making a huge difference where I live. They are cars that have hidden cameras and a 'kill switch' in them. The thief is able to steal the car, sure, but a few minutes later, the engine dies and the care locks itself.... and the cops show up to ask you a few questions...

    NHL apathy?

    It's almost a rite of passage, in Canada.... we've made backyard rinks for our kids for generations (yes, I know how!!), the boys all played hockey (and some still do, past 60). That entire town was hockey fans. Get a debate going about the Leafs and the Habs and it could bet really colorful!

    NHL apathy?

    It's playoff time, and unless there's a team from your hometown, it seems few are paying attention to the Cup Playoffs. Is it just me, or are fans hockeyed-out?

    Is your child in a booster?

    There's a law where I live, boosters til age 9 or a height of 4'9", whichever comes first. When the kid is 8, 70 lbs, and 4'7".... it's a tight fit!

    Classics?

    Oh, classic fanatic here.... love some of the muscle stuff from the 50's and 60's when I was growing up, although I doubt I could afford to run a Hemi today.

    My poor friend

    O good grief, that's funny and yet it's not....! At least the inside of the radiator is clean as a whistle? I'm sure there's an associated smell to remind.... and well, that one won't happen again??

    Gas prices in Canada

    Gas prices in Canada have increased almost 50% in the last 3 years.... and that's bulls**t.

    Gas prices in Canada

    Using that math, it would cost over $100.00 to fill my van. Like I said, I think I need to find my bicycle helmet. As it is, I'm already "combining" errands and such to try and cut down on the amount of driving that I do.

    Vacuuming the car @ home?

    Between the house vaccuum & a cordless dust-buster, I've never found the need for such a thing.... I also don't know where I'd store it between uses.

    Gas prices in Canada

    I just got an email from a friend of mine up the Vancouver way in Canada, and she included a picture with it: the sign at a gas station. Are ya ready for this? $1.41.2 per liter, or $ 5.64 per U.S. gallon. Excuse me, I think I need to find my bicycle helmet. :shocked:

    Osama bin Laden killed in shootout, Obama says

    With the technological advances today, I can't say I believe a lot of any of the news about Osama Bin Laden's death. I guess I watched a certain Dustin Hoffman movie once too often.... if you haven't seen WAG THE DOG, watch it, and THEN tell me what you think of the U.S. Presidents'...

    Sport cars?

    It would really depend on the car, because if I can carry my little family and a suitcase in it.... ROAD TRIP!

    Deliberate Damage

    Grrrr.... My only hope in such cases is that the perpetrator(s) be in receipt of a similar incident and thus know how it feels to be so victimized, and what JERKS they were in the first place.

    Waving Does NOT Make you Immune!

    Bring back the crossing guards, and put a camera up over the crosswalks: pics of the ones that do it WRONG get put on a loop-feed on television. Bet that'd stop folks from stepping out when they shouldn't ! HAHAHHA
