  1. that would kick ass Wasn't there also a "Preg" at some point? ssa kcik?
  2. Craigv = yubby? Can we change your title to "Se
  3. Feel the lub! Where's Bubby?
  4. So if she moves to Canada where's, she going to threaten to move if they don't ban the seal hunt?
  5. It was still butter when she was a spring chicken. Face on her like a smacked cock.
  6. I say we send all these crybabies to some place obscure and out of the way-like Cyprus or somewhere like that! As long as they don't come here.
  7. We don't want them. We have enough preachy celebrity nitwits up here already.
  8. I was looking at getting one of these (about 30 mpg): Or one of these (40-50 mpg): But it seems like the rear seat pass through won't let me put a bass and two cabs in either one. So now I am looking at one of these (26 mpg average): The Element is currently the most desireable for me. I can put a roof rack and a hitch on it and haul a metric {censored}-tonne of stuff out into the boonies. The only other ones (with better mileage) I can think of are the Mazda3: Or the Toyota Matrix: I don't like the look of the 'Toy. I haven't tried the Mazda but it looks to be a winner with a very sporty outlook and 148hp. I'm still stuck on the Element I think. That could be my Mazda3 in that pic, except we don't have vegetation like that around here. Performance-wise, the Mazda outdoes the Matrix/Vibe by a pretty wide margin and actually outperforms the RSX in everything but straight line acceleration. The hatchback has a bigger motor than the sedan version with a few more HP and considerably more torque which peaks at lower RPM. It's quite quick. I've had mine for 1.5 years and I don't have any complaints except that it's sometimes hard to keep the front wheels from breaking loose in 1st and 2nd gear. I can fit my SVT, Berg NV610, two basses and my downhill MTB in there at the same time. Loads of cargo space with the seats folded down. I get about 32-35MPG on the highway but I'm a leadfoot. I rented a Matrix the last time I was in Toronto and while the ride was nice and it has tons of space the, base motor is anemic. I really felt it lacked power for merging onto the 401 and such things. That being said, I think you won't find much problem getting your stuff into an RSX with the rear seats folded down. Fun car to drive, too. Considerably more expensive than the Mazda as well. I drove the Mazdaspeed3 a few weeks ago and man is that thing fast. Think 260-odd HP, 280 lb-ft torque in a 3000lb car....
