Ok, it's official!

[steveo777]

I don't have many maintenance costs. If a car so much as needs tires I trade it in.

Think I'm kidding?

I help run a dealership so that helps! LOL

[Melissa]

I find people don't keep track accurately of everything they put into cars. Brakes, tires....you generally don't need to worry about if you lease or trade it in after 2-3 years and I tried driving used and indeed did spend in that range. Yeah, I had an intake gasket, head gasket...those kind of things over the years so maybe I'm unlucky. But even in my last car I needed a wiper motor, water pump and CD player (Honda CRV) once the warranty kicked...and at that point I decided to stop driving cars after 2-3 years. Also, its easy to knock off up to 40% off sticker if you're willing to aggressively haggle, which I actually love to do.

Well like I said to each their own, and yeah maybe there's a luck thing there, sorry, lol. I have 2 Toyotas that haven't had one of the problems you listed aside from brakes and tires on one, and those aren't problems, that's normal wear and tear on any car. I've been driving that used one for 8 years and have spent less than $1k on those tires and brakes. So no, not all used cars cost $2-$3K a year in maintenance or repairs, no way, lol. Oh I had bad luck with one once, a Dodge, and it was just a gigantic piece of garbage on wheels. But then had another Chrysler product, a Cherokee, that I drove for over 10 years with not ONE major problem at all until that 10 year mark. So just depends I guess. We are raising two kids, we can't just buy a new car every 2-3 years, and I don't think there's a financial advisor on the planet that would say "Oh yeah, that's a great idea!", lol. I've lived most of my adult life without car payments than with, and it's quite nice. I've also never heard of anyone getting 40% off sticker price... does this "aggressive haggle" involve a firearm?

Great, now I'm ripping my hair out waiting for this beauty to come out. Andrew's review is even satisfying in itself but yet, feels like a major cock tease, or worse, a cock block. I'll be ready for this one, waiting like Chuck Norris.

BTW: Got my lawn seats for the PA show. Anyone going August 27th?

Yes Travis! Melissa and I will be flying up for that show. We opted for seats, but towards the back, so we can visit you on the lawn maybe!

Woohoo! Now we have to have a tailgate before the show!

I'm going up to Quaker Steak and Lube tonight, Stu. Get your ass over there.

OMG! I LOVE that place!! Great wings and even GREATER fried pickles!!! The good spear kind!!!! Im jealous!! I WILL be hitting that place when I go there in August!!

We have to do something... I noticed there isn't much around that venue! Even hotels are far away. I'm guessing it's kind of like the venue in Cleveland?

Hey, there's that dealership here not far from us that GIVES you a firearm when you buy a car from their dealership.....

So THAT'S the place we're supposed to go to, ok! It's neat that one of the only weekends that works for both of us is near where you grew up so I can finally see these places you've told me about!

That's only one of the several I want you to go to! But I will take you there for pickles!!! We can do the one in Pitt for that!! I want you to try some Italian up there too. And if we're hungry enough, some Polish food would be good too..... and sponge candy.... I think we'll need to diet after!!

I just got back to my hotel. I plowed through 20 wings ... 10 Buckeye Barbecue, 10 Supercharged and five 22 oz Coors Lights. I was rooting for Butler against Pitt ... and that wasn't a really good idea. Lucky I got out of there in one piece.

you are lucky you survived! I went on all you can eat wing night once, just to get to try the different kinds. I don't think I could handle those supercharged ones! And I only had 2 22oz Coors light. 5 and I'd probably pass out.

[S2M]

That's the Big LEast for ya. Great in the regular season, folding like a cheap suit in the tourney. Pitt, WVa., Louisville, Georgetown, St. Johns, Villanova...SEE ya later! 6 out of 11 teams ousted in the first THREE days....so much for the supposedly best conference.

Maybe? Uh, maybe? If you don't find me, I find you. It looks like we got a great group going to this one. We got around 9 or so people in my party alone so it's going to be rockin'. Stu mentioned something about tailgating before-hand but I'm already 3 steps ahead! We plan on getting there early and tailgating ALL DAY LONG so by the time I see you guys, I'll be R-I-P-P-E-D! Glad S2M's making the trip! I'll have his own Terrible Towel for him ready to go.

Where's that cocksmack Matt? Is he going? Would love rock out.

:lol: ok, so we will, of course! And speaking of terrible towels..... I am still in need! I'll have no excuse to leave there without one!

[Saint John]

I'm in as well. Sounds like fun. Lynn, there are a few Quaker Steaks in the Pittsburgh area. Perhaps we can hit one up the night before.

That'll be great!!! Except I'm not sharing my pickles!!

[Saint John]

Except I'm not sharing my pickles!!

Well, you've seen the way I eat wings. I ain't sharing either!

I'll be sure to have my camera ready again then!

I hope Andrew is not setting me and the rest of the fans up for a major disappointment. The bigger the hype, the bigger the disappointment.

I remember the hype of Revelation and while the CD was not bad, I have to admit, it was forgettable. I may have not given it enough listens, but had little desire. Hate to say it, but the ballads were the best part of the CD.

Hype..what hype?

No one should be surprised....

Andrew made some bold statements about Eclipse and if he were wrong they could effect his reputation as a connoisseur of fine rock and roll.
I have a suspicion he's got this one right.

[Magwheels]

Possibly..but my comment had to do with other reason for the hype.

I never say anything I don't mena or 100% believe. There will always be someone to tell me I'm full of shit, be that's part of the job.

What other reason?

[Magwheels]

That should have said "reasons"..although one is enough. I'll leave it at that.

[slucero]

I wanna hear Bob Dylan sing Journey's Greatest Hits.... that would be the funniest train wreck ever...

[Andrew]

Dude, just spit/shit it out already.
