Those of us who drink lots of coffee & take diuretics for blood pressure are probably OK with more frequent stops
Cheers!

Nowadays we can make the 2.5 hour trip to the beach without stopping.
Those must be the times you leave the kids at home?!?
Very peaceful drive for me. :shades:
Happy trails in the meantime, folks!
Best wishes to your mother, Brenda. Seems to me that she is missing the island for the ocean - she is still alive, and she is recovering. There is a light at the end of her tunnel. I also understand your dad's comments; I am guilty of making similar remarks myself. Discreetly remind him that the difference between his wife and money is that if he loses the latter, he can always get it back.

Take care, like mike said. Hope it all goes well for you.
Lots of ppl with subie troubles are going to miss your sage advice.
Jim
take care ... welcome back when you're ready and able !

More precisely, I should say I saw the Pope-mobile. Looked like a Benz ML-based one-off of some sort. Of course I'm up on the 10th floor so it's hard to say for sure.
Note this is not the one he was in, this was a newer model ML, from what I could see.
The MB is the one used at the Vatican as well as a Fiat or two and VW presented B16 with a modified Phaeton limousine in 2006.

With all that's been happening lately, you can vent a bit here; it's perfectly understandable to fell bummed. One thing I learned from my folks when they were around and in the hospital - complaining means they're on the mend usually.
Hope things get better.
Wes - good luck with the job and the hours.

Every picture and video I've seen has him in a modifed ML.
As for a Ferrari, since the car typically crawls along at 10 mph it would be overkill IMHO.
IIRC, here in MA it's illegal to have anything hanging from the rearview mirror or any decals on the windshield other than your state inspection as well as it impedes your forward vision.
Garmin supplies a black metal disc that you can stick on to any flat surface. I used that for a while on our minivan. That never fell off, even on super hot days.
Still, I wanted to bring it closer to me, so I purchased a vent mount for next to nothing. It blocks the vent slightly, but it's worth it because it's very easy to reach and easiliy visible, given it's much closer that it would be up on the windshield.
I doubt that will ever fall, either.
Okay, I am home today and intend to make the Chat. However, the last few times I have tried, I have had not luck. What settings are likely to be blocking me from accessing Chat. I am using Zone Alarm on a Windows XP machine. Any great ideas?
Cheers
Graham
Looking forward to the chat!
Other problem is reliability. The Ferrari would likely break during a procession!
-mike
Yes, tested Java again just now and running beautifully. Not sure what else could be bugging it so will try when the Chat is open
Cheers

Nice to know it is just not me. I am getting the following error:

Hey Paul, the ACL was fixed yesterday and went well. Still can't convince her to switch to a snowboard though.
Or the firewall security set too high that the port which the chatroom would use is closed.
In the case of my router that has its own firewall, I would not be able to use IM if it is set at Medium or High security without further customization.

Steve: Glad to hear the surgery went well. My middle kiddo broke his pinky on his dominant hand Wednesday. Glad it wasn't during ski season, but it wrecked his spring baseball season. We see the orthopedic group this afternoon.
Cheers!

Friday morning, Mike had his audition, placement exam in Calculus, and a music theory exam. We got the audition results Wednesday and he passed, so he is now officially accepted into the SRT program. He had to play his prepared pieces (Ave Maria, a jazz version of Easter Parade, and chords and scales of various sorts.Then, the professor threw him a curve...play part of Easter Parade at a different signature and beat...he was nervous that he might have fumbled thru that, but all turned out well. The weather was very good most of the weekend,60s on Friday,
We ended up eating at the cafeteria a couple of times...the food was really good. When Michael had a piece of their chocolate cake, he said "this is were I'm going!".
We did some shopping in Nashua; I got myself some tie-dye Converse All-Stars low tops...really cool. Then on Saturday, we had time to go to the Kennedy Library...we all really enjoyed that. By the time we got home to Florida, it was 2:30 AM Sunday morning.Still a bit tired, plus I picked up a bug on the plane.
We will be back up before school starts in September; it looks like this is his #1 choice. He has orientation in June. Hopefully, we will be able to get together
.... off to prepare ....
Might be worth it, AC even works.

Don't hold your breath on me finding a reasonably priced decade old Miata though, lol.

I'd be interested in a 128i convertible if the price were reasonable, maybe euro delivery. I doubt it, though.
TMV is $7400
here's the link

Then check the gaskets and front and main seals for oil leaks, maybe add in a compression test.
If it passes all those tests and drives smoothly, go for it. My dad's 2001 OB Ltd is running like a champ.
Cheers!
Paul
We would love to do that, but the car is up in MA and we are down here in gatorland usa...Michael is willing to take a chance...how much would timing belt replacement run? Gasket replacement?

That is the catch. The guy paid $41k and it's got manual seats and no GPS.
I optioned out a 335ix coupe w/ Navi and 6mt and it was only $48k and that's got AWD.
I think I've finally got a plan for the next 6 or 7 years in terms of cars and what I can afford. Probably will get a 2010 or 2011 Legacy 3.6 or if the 3.6t comes out in spring of 2010 when my car payment ends on the Armada. Keep the Armada for towing and family haulin. By then the 05 LGT will have around 100k miles and it will become my beater/daily driver and the new Legacy will become my "good car". For a daily for the next 2 years I'll either drive the 240sx or sell it ang get a 98-01 altima.

Never ever buy a car sight unseen. Especially one over $1000.
