Never made it out there. Got the new job at Ernst and Young later then targeted so I didn't have much of a layoff. I may have to move down there as all of my Chem-E friends are moving down there. Losing another 2 this month to Headquarters in Houston. Enron still have a trading operation? (wink wink)
You should be fine if you are out here in June. The Chicago spring (35-55 degrees and overcast/rainy) should be over by then. June in Chicago = nice spring in Houston. Let me know if you need any ideas on where to eat or stay.
Very nice. You're going to be about 9-10 blocks south of "Boys Town" so if you are going out by yourself Friday or Saturday evening you may want to go SOUTH only.
If you do venture North at all walk up Broadway. On Broadway 3 doors south of Belmont they are having the live show "Puppetry of the Penis" (no, I am not kidding). So you and the Wife can pop in there for $44.50/head (pardon the pun) if you want to catch a show.
Unfortunately, I know this because Lisa and I hadn't gone out with two friends of ours for a couple of months and, well....let's just say that Saturday night we were reminded why we hadn't been out with them for a while. YIKES!!!!
Also, if you do venture up north make sure that you check out Taboo Taboo, The Alley, and The Pleasure Chest (stores) not to mention Spin, The Closet, and The Man Hole (bars, and yes....that last one is real).
The Fairfield is nice. You'll be just South of the river. If you like working out, rock climbing, or basketball, you can get a free pass to our gym (Lakeshore Athletic Club Illinois Center) from the concierge at the hotel. They have the largest indoor rock wall (at least 3 years ago it was the tallest), a great pool, and the basketball court is where Pippen, Grant, and Jordan used to come around during the offseason to play some pickup games back in the bad old days (sorry, die hard Pacers fan). The neighborhood where the mansion is is very nice. It's still considered Lincoln Park even though it is close to Boy's Town. After all, if you were a single female in your 20's and wanted to live in the city, where would you want to live? That's right, the safest area where you don't need to worry about any guys hitting on you (because they're not interested in you except as a friend). You're looking at about a $15 cab ride (at most) and right across the river is the Magnificent Mile and all the shops so you'll like staying at the Fairfield. You aren't going to come across any dicey areas where you are staying and where the reception is so you can relax and enjoy your stay.
Sorry if this is really an old issue: Have followed the C70 for a long time, now I think I'd like to consider ownership; found out a little late that the Coupe is no longer made. How hard WOULD it be to find a used C70 Coupe with 5 speed?
thanks for any thoughts

Glad you escaped the cab experience with your life.
I don't know which is more annoying, the fact that there are 4 C70s in this small town, or the fact that it could be a signal that I am actually a suburbanite!!!
The service light is on because the car thinks it needs to be serviced. Check with your dealer as to when the car was serviced last.
AS for top alignment, follow the advice of the dealer and the manual.

Only thing that is a pain is if your passenger seat is electronic. Then it takes some time for the seat to move up and back. If you buy one that does not have the electric passenger seat, then I say it is a no brainer to go with the Coupe.
When I looked at the C70 I put it up against the BMW 3-Series, CLK320, and S4. The reasons it beat out the S4....
Did not need 4 doors
Seats were much more comfortable
Trunk space of the C70 is tremendous
Add to that the fact that you are looking at an A4, you're gonna love the hp on the C70
In this case, I'm thinking "my plush C70"
how'd i do?

so far, there are 87 signatures. Add yours and maybe Volvo will build the car. Also join in on the Volvo S100 conversation under Future Vehicles.
Concerning the S-class, I don't think the S80 is that far off. OK, so the benz is a foot longer, but they are both the same width and height. The Volvo is a bit tighter in the backseat by just an inch or 2 in all areas, but, interestingly, the Volvo has an inch more front leg room. So I don't see where the Benz is all that bigger on the inside. Adding a foot to the outside is easy and means nothing. Its the inside that counts, and in this area, I think the S80 already competes with the S-class Benz. Maybe not for overall luxury, but, then you gotta ask yourself, how many folks would buy a $70K volvo?
Yes, I do see that the E-class and S80 are almost identical in most measurements, but that just shows how little room the S-class adds.

Oh well. Maybe the rest of the country will catch up with us eventually.
I picked the car up and sure enough, the light was on, and I noticed that the car idled strangely... It drove fine though..
The next day I drove it to work and the light was on the whole way. I even noticed some black smoke puff out when I hit the gas hard... the light stayed on for my drive home too-
The last 3 days though, the light has not come back on, and it is driving fine.. I've refueled since then and I'm starting to wonder if anyone else has had this happen--
Car seems to be totally fine now, so I don't want to pay my dealer the cost to "look" at it-... I thought maybe my dad put in lower-octane fuel or even diesel but he says he's sure he put in 91 octane...
Any ideas what might have happened?
thanks in advance-

thanks again for the reassurance :-)
You see...I don't try to be rude (as I do that rather well).
I try to be funny and that seldom works out.
Good one!
I got someone to laugh.
whew...skating free for the rest of the year. No pressure
or how about a delivery van with no windows in the storage area at all?
and what does it have to do with latest style? Try looking out the back of my '86 spider with the top up.
I don't know any convertible that has a top you can see out of very easily. Having solid canvas between the B and C pillars is commonplace.

Hurricane affecting your mood my good friend?
So Tommy, I should have asked you this earlier, but Lisa and the midget have decided that they are not going to Sweeden with me to pick up the XC90 in November. I should have dropped you a note to see if you wanted to tool around Central and Eastern Europe with me as I am going alone now but I forgot. Apologies.
btw - Midget = Aine Angelica Schuh 7lbs. 11oz 21 inches (unfortunately that is her length and not her verticle) 7/8/03 at 3:12. Tommy, I'm going to be asking you for advice as the last week of 3 hours of sleep/night doesn't seem to be working well for me.
