$400 a month is $100 a week, which is $2.50 an hour before taxes. I hope your parents make more than that.

Number 1, there are 365 days in a year. Number 2, It used to be the WWF, F = federation. And the WCW? I watched wrestling when I was like 6-9 years old. And even then I couldn't get over how scripted everything comes across as. I've seen these guys get brained over the head with a chair, and get up and walk away with no blood, no nothing. Yeah, reality right there. And this crap with Vince McMahon just proves it. Apparently it's "entertaining" to watch people get blown up and possibly be dead.

Why not. If you can solve this, I'd love you forever. (My dad and I, and the local Jeep dealership, and the Jeep Forums don't have a clue). I have a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee (4.0 I6, AT) It hesitates sometimes. You will hit the gas and it will go, but not above 25 MPH. It sounds like it's missing sometimes, but not always. Now, we replaced the transmission filter, no debris. We put new plugs, wires, O2 sensor, exhaust (cat & muffler) and the Power Train Control Module (PCM) has been reset twice. We found a TSB from Chrysler on an issue like mine that requested the PCM be reset. So I took it to the dealer and had it done. Then there was a recall on it, so I had it done again. I got a little better after the first one. After the 2nd it was about the same as original. Then it didn't do it very much, now it's doing it a lot again.

The Chinese are trying to become the next Superpower in the world. By sheer population they have a good start. They are the big reason that oil prices are so high. They are buying a lot of it up. Not to mention an ass load of construction supplies. Anyway, I don't understand why the big boys haven't sued yet. Is it because they are only really solid in China? (BTW, I'd put ANY American made truck against a Japanese or European one.)

Mine always has been and always will be the Cheetah. It's fast as hell, great handling, and the beautiful Testorassa lines.

Holy crap! A giant radar!

I don't think Ford selling Aston Martin is a mistake for either party. AM wasn't making Ford any money in the states (per the news articles I read about the sale) and Jag really isn't either. I would assume Land Rover isn't either, but I really don't know. I think there must be something wrong with Land Rover. BMW & Ford have sold them off in the past what, 10 years?

I heard that Vince showed up at Raw last night to dedicate the tribute to Chris Benoit. Is that true? And the reason I won't watch wrestling is because I think it's dumb. Boxers and UFC guys actually fight, these guys just pretend. And they act like it's real, that's what pisses me off, and then there are some people who think it is. I just cannot get into it.

I haven't seen the video. I refuse to watch wrestling. But think about it, no one is reporting it, period, no CNN, Fox News, nobody. No police investigations have been opened, no nothing. As far as proof that the video was edited, why do you think you can find any? These guys are pros, they do it for a living. It's like asking to prove a movie scene wasn't shot all at once. The editing these people can do is amazing. And unless you were behind the camera you'll never know. Think about it, they could have two cameras side by side. Intersting enough, a Wal Mart employee stopped me Friday night to talk to me about this. Don't know why, he was just talking about it while walking and looking right at me.

Read this topic first: Click Me As most of you probably know, all three (General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and the Chrysler Corp) are in trouble. Daimler is selling Chrysler, so who knows what will happen there. What do you all think the American car companies will do, or should do to right themselves. Or do you think it's pointless? There was speculation that Ford and Toyota would merge months ago, but both companies said it was crap. But maybe the market is headed that way. Ford-Toyota? GM-Honda? The American car companies are finally realizing it's better to build a few cars really well (which also lowers overhead) then build a lot of so-so cars. Ford: They already have Land Rover and Jaguar up for sale after recently selling off Aston Martin. Ford hopes they can hold on to Volvo, since it's the only one of their foriegn based companies that is making money. I think you will see Mercury getting cut soon too. Mercury is supposed to be mid range cars. (Between Lincoln & Ford). Recently they have been more "sporty". Problem is, they are just rebadged Fords. Why not just buy a more expensive model of Ford, or just go for a Lincoln? Ford should cut Mercury and work more to make a Lincoln a Lincoln, instead of a Ford with extra crap. Most people buy Lincoln for the name or status, not for the craftsmanship like our Grandfather's and Great-Grandfather's Lincolns. Ford also needs to get Volvo's engineers (especially the safety guys) into the Ford-Lincoln fold. under my ideas Ford would be left with Ford, Lincoln & Volvo GM: In my opinion, GM needs to get rid of (defunct) Buick and Saturn for sure. Saturn has never made money (they just suck) and Buick is the same as Mercury in my mind. Except old people buy them. But really, if you can afford a Buick, you can probably afford a Cadillac, or at least a nicer Chevy. GMC needs to go too. GMC's are just trucks, and they are the same as Chevy. What the hell is the point of that? I've never understood that part. Pontiac I don't know what to say about. GM could make Pontiac for cars only and carve out a niche of the market. under my ideas GM would be left with Chevrolet, Cadillac, Pontiac, Hummer, Daewoo, Holden, Opel, Saab & Vauxhall Chrysler: Has been making good strides. The 300-Charger are sweet cars. Jeep has more models than ever, and as long as they don't change the Wrangler too much (leave it with solid axels) they won't completley alienate their most hardcore fans, the offroaders. These guys weren't happy when the Liberty replaced the Cherokee, and when the Grand Cherokee kept getting softer. But they still have the Wrangler. With the upcoming sale of Chyrsler, Dodge, and Jeep by Daimler, we will have to see what is in store for these guys.

Aston Martin was recently sold by Ford (which you show, kinda) and sold to a group of investors.

I've actually been thinking about this, and I cannot think of any phobia I have. I used to be afraid of being lost, but I taught myself to keep calm and to get my way out of it. I don't like being stuck. Being in tight places doesn't bother me, but when I feel stuck I start getting worried. But a phobia? A phobia is an intense, unrealistic fear, which can interfere with the ability to socialize, work, or go about everyday life, that is brought on by an object, event or situation. No, I don't have anything like that.

Seriously those questions don't make sense. As someone else said asking "will it help or hurt" Yes doesn't work. Yes it will help them or yes it will hurt them? And asking what grade someone got in school? What are you 10? If you are stop cussing like that, does your mom know you talk that way? Why do half the threads on this forum turn into these ridiculous pissing matches? Some of you really need to put down the controller and go outside and interact with people. If you act this way outside the internet I really feel sorry for you.

I didn't know if anyone caught this around here or not. I didn't notice until I read an article in this month's Playboy. In 1967 San Franciso had the "Summer of Love" in the Haight-Ashbury district. There were a lot of drugs, hippies, naked people, sex and the like all around. Of course in San Fierro there is a district called "Hashbury" a play on words of Ashbury, and Hash being a slang term for marijuana.

If the girl has actually said "I like you" or is acting in that way it may be good to tell her you aren't interested (nicely). But if she hasn't actually said it then you might embarass yourself and her. What if she has no feelings for you? What if she goes around telling everyone that you're a jerk because all she was trying to do is be nice and you said "not interested"? In the same vein I had an interesting conversation a while ago. A girl I asked to a dance in the 9tb or 10th grade (1999), who turned me down by the way, saw a picture of my wife and I, with friends of ours at an amusement park on the friends desk. She told my friend that she and I dated in highschool. This was news to me. I laughed and said I never dated her. I asked her out once (mainly because I knew she was going and I felt sorry for her, and I didn't have a date). I mean of all the things to lie about, why that? She knows this girl is my friend, and will probably tell me she said that, and yet... I saw her at Wal-Mart yesterday (she works there) and it was the first time I ever saw her look at me. It's so freaking bizzare. But hey too bad, I'm married and nothing's going to change that.

Rudy. When they carry him off the field. Pearl Harbor got me choked up when they guys on the Arizona were reaching out the holes dying, begging for help. It wasn't the scene so much as knowing that actually happened.

The only mission I consider like terrorism in the GTA world is in Liberty City Stories when you blow up half of Staunton Island. Granted the point wasn't to kill people (as terrorism is, killing for the sake of killing) but I didn't like that mission. It kind of turned me off to that whole game (which isn't all that good anyway).

Need Help on a certain part of GTA SA
draftermatt replied to ThE_fallen's topic in GTASA Gameplay & Help
How are you stuck? Are you having trouble doing the flying missions, or are you lost on how to get to where he is talking about? -
Since it's been three days and no one has said I'm right or wrong, I'll assume I'm right. What kind of gun does Sonny carry into the Vercetti estate after Lance is killed?

Fernando?

If you were talking to me then it would mean that I wanted pancakes. Lol. But, it sounds as if he's trying to see you alone, so he invited himself over for breakfast. No offense but he sounds like a douche bag. If he was smart he would have invited you over for breakfast then actually cooked. Who asks anyone to cook them something? I don't even ask my wife to do that. I have arms and can cook for myself.

What exactly would anyone be trying to "win" in that situation? If all you want is the person to say what they did, that's the point of the argument. You stick to that point and don't stray. You don't bring up something the other person did, (especially if it has no bearing) or bring up families, that type of thing. Stick to the topic.

I prefer Coke when it comes out a fountain, like at a Restaurant. But in a can or bottle, I prefer Pepsi. I like Pepsi in fountain drinks too, but I like Coke more.
