Re: Electric Motorcycle vs. Prius

Look both ways before you step off the curb. If you are blind, ask someone to help you.

Re: Insured?

Any idea how much he'd pay in the US / Canada? My son has been paying upwards of $4000 on his chevy cobalt (2006, new when he bought it). $1000 deductable, glass and liability. He turns 25 this month and should then be paying 1/2 to 2/3 that amount. He also pays $2500 on his motorcycle with only li...

Re: Princess Die!

Agreed Bambi's dad and Gepetto (the German with the italian name) probably get Disney father of the year honors, and neither are all that great. Wasn't pinnochio written/thought of in Florence italy? I know they were peddling all kinds of Pinnochio puppets when I was there a few years ago? I even bo...

Re: Anyone in the path of Earl?

Howdy ho and thanks for thinking/checking on me. All was fine as Earl was little more then media hype. Of course it could have been much worse and thankfully it stayed way off the coast. Glad you made it through with about the same damage we had (which was none) Guievere. Todays newspaper is complai...

Re: Hey, that's what we did...

Here in the NY/NJ area we pay enough tolls for the roads and bridges for them to pay for their upkeep ten times over. But the MTA takes 90% of the money, squanders it and then gets the state to bail them out by granting them a payroll tax on any county/municipality they serve. Then they cut the rail...

Re: A request to the membership.

I'm happy in my own skin, I don't need any more.

And I would like to log a complaint. It took me almost 3 seconds to register, can we fix that? It might not be fast enough for some people and they may not join because of it. :lol:
