Forget the Mustang. Was watching the news and the Chrysler 300 c was

It's an interesting looking car, sort of...looks aggressive in a
modernistic, retro kind of way. The Mustang, which also seems a pretty
cool car, apparently is Number One on the Gay Guy Shopping List.



Well, I am not gay, but I considered one until I read the write-up in
Henning's. Interestingly, I also considered the 300C. But ....

My tooling around car here in Florida is a Gen II (2004) Durango with the
"yes, it's a hemi". It is ok, has some pep and rides better than the old
Durangos. I drove it up to MA and back and then decided to take my wife's
BMW X5 that I had not driven for a while for a spin.

American cars still have a long way to go. The BMW is far superior in every
way, yet is in the same price range as the Durango. Even with a smaller 6
cylinder engine, the little Beemer rockets along. The automatic transmission
shift points are clean and crisp, unlike most American cars that slide from
gear to gear.

So, now I am kinda drooling over a BMW 545i with the sports package.

Well, that's fair since you weren't one of those complaining about all
the factory jobs lost by Bush.

Women, oil, natural gas or hockey players playing for American teams?

Hard
to think of anything else coming from Can-duh that is worth anything.


Well , you just can't help yourself. You said you weren't going to insult
anyone anymore...and then you go and insult 30 million Canadians.
You forgot hydro electricity, various minerals, lumber, foods including
seafood from here, comedians etc...etc.
In 2002 we sold $ 382.5 billion of something to the US. So unless you're
buying our clean air...there must be something up here that the US likes or
needs.

As long as you keep the insults directed at me, you will get them once and a
while from me. If you care to stop I am more than happy to also.

Minerals, oil, wheat, oats, seafood, and cheap medicine to name a few.
There are many, many more. For one thing, an awful lot of parts of your
American made car probably came from Canada. But, you are good at
showing everyone here how tight those blinders of yours are.

Why not ask your daddy to help you save up for a personal computer so we can
see your drivel during non working hours also.

What do you find about the above to be drivel? Prove it wrong. Now, for
your edification, I'm self employed. I have three computers. I rarely
turn them on during weekends, prefering to spend my time with
recreation. I have a life which is much more fun than being an asshole
in a newsgroup 24/7, which is what you do.

I guess being an asshole in a NG 8/5 is good enough for you?

Let me get this straight. You are self employed. You start work at 8 a.m.
every day and immediately start posting to the NG. The posting stops at 5
p.m. and we do not hear from you again until 8 a.m. the following day,
unless of course it is a weekend and in that case you log in here on Monday
morning.

You are spending time in this NG exclusively during your business hours.
Are you billing your clients for this time or is business just slow?
