Big Klu Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think my lovely Batmobile has finally given up the ghost.... Yar, I be on the lookout for something in the 7-8k range type thing. I was maybe thinking of a Honda Civic, and I've heard good things about Saturn Ions. Toyotas seem iffy. And America...I laugh at your Ford Focusususes.

IGG Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think my lovely Batmobile has finally given up the ghost.... Yar, I be on the lookout for something in the 7-8k range type thing. I was maybe thinking of a Honda Civic, and I've heard good things about Saturn Ions. Toyotas seem iffy. And America...I laugh at your Ford Focusususes. I drove a focus for a rental car while mine was in the body shop, and it was a pathetic excuse for an automobile. I had a 1981 Honda Accord, which I bought used in 1985 that I finally sold off in 1999...still running strong, blowing ice cold air, you name it. That car never left me stranded. If it wasn't for company vehicles, I'd probably still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyRaven Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I was just going to recomend the same kind of car. I have one and I paid only $200.00 for it, although it has a busted windsheild and the power windows don't always work and it's gold.

Footsteps of Dawn Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I was going to say a Civic. I have a 2003. It gets really great gas mileage, and it's pretty darn roomy...you'll be surprised how much stuff you can cram in the trunk. It's weird, those new Honda Fits are teeny weeny compared to a Civic, and yet the gas mileage on the Fits is not too much better than a Civic's.

Lake of Shadows Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I got a used 2001 Chevy Lumina in 2004 and I've been pretty happy with it. It had high miles when I bought it and I've put 65,000 or so miles on it in the 3 years I've had it. It isn't world class, but it gets me where I'm going AND it has air conditioning (unlike the Ford Festiva I drove for 12 years). Oh yeah... I paid $5000 for the Lumina. I did try a different Lumina before the one I got and that first one was pretty... meh. Slight Tangent... aren't car names getting pretty silly? Who in hell wants to say "I drive a Probe"? It sounds like a medical test. Why drive an Ion when you might be able to get an entire Molecule? Caddylack now has the Emasculade... what's next?

I don't know if you said "emasculade" on purpose or not. My friend has an Escalade, it's a pretty nice car.

My friend has an Escalade, it's a pretty nice car. It was on purpose. Yes, I know CADILLAC makes the Escalade. I said CADDYLACK made the Emasculade. Think about it. FWIW, I don't have a problem with Cadillac. I was making fun of car NAMES. I would think the rest of that paragraph would've made it obvious. I guess not.

Electrophile Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Uhhh, I added the sentence about my friend owning an Escalade. I'd hardly call that quickly changing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake of Shadows Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 But did you get the joke? I don't think I've ever ridden in an Escalade. I've been on plenty of escalators though. I don't think I'd want to go down in an Escalade though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Obviously not. Was it some kind of Caddyshack reference? I don't really watch comedic movies anymore, they're too stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really watch comedic movies anymore, they're too stupid. No... not a Caddyshack reference, or any kind of movie reference. Hint: Ahnuld might say something like "...Only guhlie-men would drive an Emasculade..." Buit, if that doesn't clarify it enough... here ya go... from the American Heritage Dictionary: e·mas·cu·late (¹-m²s“ky…-l³t”) tr.v. e·mas·cu·lat·ed, e·mas·cu·lat·ing, e·mas·cu·lates. 1. To castrate. 2. To deprive of strength or vigor; weaken. --e·mas·cu·late (-l¹t) adj. Deprived of virility, strength, or vigor. [Latin ¶mascul³re, ¶mascul³t- : ¶-, ex-, ex- + masculus, male, diminutive of m³s, male, man.] -- Escalade - emasculate- Emasculade. You're welcome.

Electrophile Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) Ummm, I know what emasculate means. So I don't need to thank you for that. How was I supposed to know you were referencing the governor of California? I don't pay attention to anything he does or says.
