Author betterdeal Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Talking of mistaken identity and Frenchmen, there's a town on the east coast of England called Hartlepool close to which a French ship, during the Napoleonic wars, wrecked. The only survivor being a monkey in a French uniform. The locals, not knowing what a Frenchman looked liked, held a trial and concluded the monkey was a French spy, and sentenced him to death. He made no appeal. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm liking the look of these new VW Beetles. I want to get one in light blue and put big white fuzzy bug antennae on it. Link to post Share on other sites

The little guy's a rum drinker IIRC, which brings up full circle to the topic at hand: booze. Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Oh God that was so bad How could they play without helmets? Speaking of Mini Coopers, would you ever buy one of those? I'm liking the look of these new VW Beetles. I want to get one in light blue and put big white fuzzy bug antennae on it. I just couldn't drive a car like that or a Beetle. It just screams chick car. This is more like my style. Hopefully I'd be able to get one of those once I start really working. Link to post Share on other sites
cerridwen Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 You'll be knee-deep in bettys in that car, SD. I really want this one but since I drive tons, it may not be wise. A girlfriend has one and it's a great vehicle. Be honest though. Too butch? Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Do girls actually care about guys cars? Or is it only cars that are above a certain range? As for the Jeep. Not really butch, more like this. Link to post Share on other sites
cerridwen Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Do girls actually care about guys cars? Or is it only cars that are above a certain range? As for the Jeep. Not really butch, more like this. Some care, some don't. I can't recall the last time a friend remarked on a date's car. They all have their own thing going on. Hmm. So, my Rubicon conjures up a militant image, huh? If I slapped a "Don't Tread On Me" bummer sticker on it, would that seal it? What if I started wearing a 3-corner hat while driving it? What if I hung up the fuzzy dice the NRA sent me with my membership? Would it blow my chances with all the tree-hugging, Prius-driving, skinny jean-wearing, soy latte-sipping, hipsters in my area?

Nice Jeep. I don't think it would blow your chances with the hipsters. Some might want to try to convert you and ask you to attend rallies. Ohh...well, I'll figure out a way to fit my boards in the Beetle. You do know the Beetle and Cooper are not man cave vehicles for those that have the man cave in the extreme garage. Those that have heat floors, fridge, big tv, tools, etc... Link to post Share on other sites

Fit you boards in the beetle.... This is basically my car. Same model and color scheme. So when I wanted to go surf, I had to put my top down, put my 8 foot board in the passenger seat and secure it. Now imagine doing that at 6 in the morning and driving to the beach with the top down. It was fun Link to post Share on other sites

You do know the Beetle and Cooper are not man cave vehicles for those that have the man cave in the extreme garage. Those that have heat floors, fridge, big tv, tools, etc... It's true the Beetle and Cooper are Man Cave lite. They do have a Beetle Turbo though; zero to 60 in 2 1/2 hours! Link to post Share on other sites

It was fun Sweet. Living in California's the best, isn't it SD? Consider surfing again and plugging into the community there. Summer's coming, my friend. Lots of young women will be trying to learn to surf. The issue is actually keeping the boards secure while I'm at work. I used to have a 2nd vehicle but I sold it. Since then, I can't go right to the beach from work or visa versa. They'll be stolen if they're strapped on. I like that Rubicon. At least it's not camouflage. Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 LOL, I forgot to mention that it was butt cold doing that. I looked like I was going on a ski trip, to the beach. Thankfully it was only a 20 minute drive. I'd like to get back into surfing eventually. Getting the boards ripped off would suck. Going to the beach after work? What are you doing surfing at 11 pm?

Crank the heat! We'd drive the PCH at night with the top down and with the heat on, it wasn't cold at all. Ha! Well, I'm reintroducing more balance into my life. Workaholism has some downsides.

ptp Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 So I ran into someone kind of interesting today, this guy who moved here from Arizona. We were talking and he starts telling me how he doesn't "feel right" without his gun. Chicago has strict gun laws and apparently he can't carry his gun with him. Then he goes on to tell me that where he is from, everybody carries a gun! People in Arizona are strapped every where they go...even when they go to the grocery store . I don't know if he was pulling my leg or what...but that seems strange to me. Nobody I know even owns a gun. The only person I know who has even fired a gun is my Dad, and that was when he was a kid when my Grandfather took him hunting. Am I the weird one or this guy from Arizona?

carhill Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Illinois has some legislation currently in process which could change the gun climate there to the more restrictive. Both handgun and assault rifle owners are up in arms about the changes. I know, here in Cali, if you're CCW and you brandish, you go to jail if caught. Don't pull it unless you're going to use it and it's probably better to kill, preferably while saying 'stop or I'll shoot'. Fortunately, I can still discharge firearms on my property. One of these days I'll get that pheasant that's eating my drip lines. Bugger. I hear the LEO across the ditch popping off rounds all the time. Wish he'd practice on that bad boy. We could have a BBQ.
