moderator_kh Ha! you sent it all down our way.
mouse409 I guess so
moderator_kh It's been raining here for days on end.
moderator_kh and cold.
moderator_kh Blech.
mouse409 we sure had our share
mouse409 ya know what you mean
moderator_kh I know... rain AND snow for you though.
moderator_kh Not fantastic cruising weather.
mouse409 oh no... that word a four letter word at that
moderator_kh he he.
moderator_kh When it's a reasonable temperature, I like to cruise around with the windows down.
mouse409 good for the grass.. nice and green
dana hey Mouse?
dana did you go to Limerock?
mouse409 yes... had a ball
dana did you get your Edmunds goodies?
moderator_kh Dana, they regaled me with tales of fun and frolic last week. I was envious.
mouse409 yes Thank you very much
dana I am envious!!!
dana I wish I could've gone ::sob::
dana how many people showed?
mouse409 bout 14 or so depended on the time moderator_kh except it RAINED on them for a good while.
dana ohhhhhhhh
mouse409 it was a great time despite the rain
moderator_kh Rain, just what mouse needs more of
dana I bet you all had a ball
moderator_kh Do you know if lefty has uploaded the pictures yet?
mouse409 not sure
dana well I wanted to pop in and say hi
moderator_kh OK dana, thanks for stopping in
dana tell everyone hi for me ok??

dana they will be in a folder each week in your Owner's Club okie doke? moderator_kh Mouse, they'll now be posting transcripts of our chats for those who don't make it to the chats... pretty cool, and may tempt others to join us.
mouse409 ya, saw it on the posts
moderator_kh Especially once they see how low-stress the chat is, and that you don't have to be a Cougar expert to participate.
mouse409 and that you dont need to nowe good english or how to spel dana heh hope so!
dana talk to you guys later! moderator_kh sure!
dana bye
moderator_kh typing, spelling, knowledge... all out the window in here.
moderator_kh I mean, lefty makes up a brand new word every week.
mouse409 thank goodness!!!
mouse409 there are usually a couple of them
moderator_kh I'm OK with the typing & spelling (usually), but I think I'm the only non-cat driver who stops in.
mouse409 thats ok
mouse409 keeps us in line
mouse409 I'm alone!!! yikes
mouse409 maybe I need a bath ?
moderator_kh has joined the chat.
moderator_kh sorry about that. I got knocked out of here by my browser.
mouse409 oh!
moderator_kh Trying to do too many things at once... I was trying to see if the pictures from Limerock had made it up yet.
mouse409 I dont think Lefty had a chance yet
moderator_kh That's a shame. I was hoping to have a look this week.
mouse409 they should be good
moderator_kh Speaking of lefty, I wonder where our comrades are this evening?
mouse409 my camera was all screwed up
moderator_kh Really? Did your photos not turn out at all?
mouse409 ya, where is everbody ?
mouse409 I got a couple is all
moderator_kh That's a shame.
mouse409 turned out to be operator problems
moderator_kh Off the subject of Cougar, but have you seen the new Ford Thunderbird?
mouse409 yes, kinda neet
mouse409 but pricey
moderator_kh Yeah, I didn't know what I'd think of it, given all the "novelty" cars that are being made recently...
moderator_kh PT Cruiser, return of the VW Beetle.
moderator_kh Of the retro cars, I think the new T-Bird has the most potential.
mouse409 Ford also has one coming called the 49'er
mouse409 looks like a 49 ford
mouse409 next year i guess
moderator_kh What's that like? Did they put a "real" engine in it?
mouse409 I dont know
mouse409 probley a rubber band
moderator_kh Oh. I think that's the problem with some of these fun-shaped cars-- fun to look at, but a pain to drive.
mouse409 many of these things dont even work
moderator_kh We rented (not by choice) the PT Cruiser last weekend, and it was no fun to drive.
moderator_kh Uphill was pretty much a nightmare.
mouse409 really ? I was thinkin I like one of thoes
moderator_kh mouse, it handles like... well, like it looks like it would handle, and it's got absolutely no power.
mouse409 no power huh ?
moderator_kh And the interior, well... things are in inconvenient places.
mouse409 nice to look at but impractible
moderator_kh For example, the rear window power switches are in the middle of the back, on the floor.
mouse409 handy
moderator_kh If you have 3 in the back, the person in the middle can easily roll down the windows... with his or her FEET.
moderator_kh I did it inadvertently all the time.
mouse409 I guess I dont want one any more
moderator_kh Did you just like them because of the exterior look?
mouse409 sounds like a fun car, van, truck or whatever it is
mouse409 ya I like the old cars
moderator_kh ha ha... yeah, what class of car is it anyway?
moderator_kh I like old cars too, but *real* old cars. Those that are kept in good shape look really great.
mouse409 dont know, looks like a mini van
mouse409 me too, got rid of a 51 Chevy to get our Porsche and now thats gone
moderator_kh I see they are coming out with some new colors for the 2001 Cougar.
moderator_kh Oh man! I love the old Chevys.
mouse409 it was a hardtop also
mouse409 with a 350 v8
moderator_kh I had a friend in school who had a red & white '57 Chevy. Of course parts of it were held together with duct tape, but it still ran and the exterior was great.
mouse409 but i did not touch the exterior
mouse409 57's are kool
mouse409 had a 56 when I was younger
moderator_kh Does it look much like the '57?
mouse409 pretty much, actually I like them better, but then Im strange
moderator_kh Well, I only really know the '57 because it was such a classic. mouse409 where's Lefty
moderator_kh I don't know. I was wondering how Badulah's new job is going.
mouse409 Hes hopeing it will lead into something better
moderator_kh Hey, was it you who was interested in the Mini Cooper?
mouse409 no but there neat
mouse409 had a friend with one
moderator_kh Yeah, I was reading about them earlier this evening. They look pretty cool, especially if you don't have back seat passengers very often.
mouse409 two's a crowd with one of those
moderator_kh Yeah, but they could be a great car for those who don't take long trips, who mostly just want to zip around from here to there.
mouse409 parking is great also
mouse409 gas is good too
mouse409 they also handle pretty good
moderator_kh Yeah, i was just thinking what a great time it is for BMW to roll them out, with gas prices getting high.
mouse409 why not
moderator_kh Low to the road. I'll be they are great little runaround cars.
mouse409 sounds like a good idea
mouse409 be interesting on the freeway
moderator_kh They are only planning on a 20,000 car shipment to the US in the first year. I wonder if there will be a craze like there was when the new Beetle came out.
moderator_kh I heard people were ordering them.
mouse409 now is the time with gas the way it is
moderator_kh Hm... I am not sure I would want to climb into that tiny car on the freeway. I'd always feel I was about to be run over.
mouse409 its bad enough with a larger car today
moderator_kh Geez, I know. I am always looking at my gas mileage these days, whereas it didn't used to bother me.
moderator_kh That's what we're talking about in News & Views tonight as well... Gas prices.
moderator_kh It just didn't used to be an issue!
mouse409 we get about 26 in the city with the cougar
mouse409 so were not crying too much
moderator_kh No, that's not bad at all.
mouse409 got 31 up to Lime Rock with it
mouse409 course Im an old man
moderator_kh My Jetta is averaging about 25, which is OK, but hard after having my Protege that got 30+ mpg all the time.
moderator_kh Do you have the V6?
mouse409 oh ya v6 MTX
moderator_kh That's really good mileage then. Maybe I am just driving too fast
mouse409 I dont really drive that slow
moderator_kh Then my car just eats too much gas. Do you use premium gas? mouse409 no.. found out it wasent worth it
moderator_kh Yeah, I wondered about that. The handbooks always say you should use premium fuel, but I didn't notice a difference in gas mileage, and no knocking.
mouse409 kept track of it with different grades and no difference
mouse409 if the book says premium then thats what you should use
mouse409 the book is a good guide
moderator_kh Well, it actually says use fuel with a minimum anti-knock of 87, which is just regular.
moderator_kh But for best performance, they recommend higher.
mouse409 Owners Manual - I mean
moderator_kh One thing I really liked to see in my manual was that it doesn't need an oil change but about every 10K miles.
moderator_kh So long, Jiffy Lube.
mouse409 keep track of it with different grades and see what happens
moderator_kh Yeah, I will try the premium fuel when gas goes down about 10 cents/gallon! I'm a cheapskate.
mouse409 I hear ya
mouse409 me too
moderator_kh I guess I just got used to those prices under $1 and now it seems painful.
mouse409 its tough to take
mouse409 I can remember 4 gals for a dollar
mouse409 can you believe that
moderator_kh wowza! The lowest I remember is about 65 cents.
mouse409 stop and get a bucks worth of gas and drive around for a couple of days
moderator_kh Yeah, but back then V8s were in vogue, so you still had to fill up more.
mouse409 paid 29.9 super hi test for my 64 409 Chevy
mouse409 got 5 mpg ... lol
moderator_kh Ha ha! That seems like a dream now... except for the 5 mpg.
mouse409 425 hp
mouse409 ah to be a kid again
mouse409 no thanks
moderator_kh My parents never had cool cars when I was growing up.
mouse409 lol
mouse409 I think you said you had a 54 merc
moderator_kh they did have a Jeep once... it used to be a mail truck. Steering on the wrong side.
moderator_kh Nope, no 54 Merc here.
mouse409 musta been somone else
mouse409 memory fadin
mouse409 alzimhers ???
moderator_kh Come back, mouse... don't slip away!
mouse409 not a chance
moderator_kh What year is your Cougar again?
mouse409 too many good times left, I hope
mouse409 a 99
moderator_kh What made you buy it?
mouse409 my wife lol
moderator_kh Ha! But now you drive it most of the time?
mouse409 Chrysler did not offer a 5 speed
mouse409 yes
moderator_kh Oh, and she wanted a manual.
mouse409 now we need another one, (car)
mouse409 no I had to have the standard
moderator_kh Ah... so the fun of shopping begins.
mouse409 she picked the car
mouse409 I hate shopping for cars
moderator_kh Ugh, me too. Especially when I don't quite know what I want.
mouse409 ya she has decided and I have not
moderator_kh What does she want now
mouse409 she wants a Subaru
mouse409 I want an Impreza
mouse409 Sal wants the outback
moderator_kh Oh. Well, I looked at an Outback, and they DO look nice.
mouse409 She will win, I know but Ill get the 5 speed
moderator_kh But I don't know much about the Impreza, so no basis for comparison.
mouse409 she says its too small
moderator_kh Well, as long as you both get SOMETHING you want
mouse409 have to carry Flowers you Know
moderator_kh
mouse409 Oh ya cause we keep a car a long time
moderator_kh OK, mouse, I gotta close up shop here this evening.
mouse409 oh well.. it time to go
moderator_kh Feel free to join us in News & Views where we're discussing gas prices.
mouse409 g'nite now
moderator_kh Otherwise, we'll see ya next week!
mouse409 it was fun
moderator_kh Cheers.

stageleft:   has joined the chat.
 
moderator_kh:   well hola, hola. You're here early
 
badulah:   Hey Lefty!
 
moderator_kh:   and lefty too!
 
moderator_kh:   We missed ya last week, but mouse & I carried on.
 
badulah:   Lefty is once again having technical problems
 
badulah:   I saw the transcript
 
moderator_kh:   Did you know the chats are being logged now? We plan on posting transcripts each week.
 
moderator_kh:   Oh cool. I didn't know if it was up yet.
 
badulah:   Thats what I saw
 
moderator_kh:   Hopefully some of the "maybe" folks will see how low stress we are and will elect to join us.
 
badulah:   The summer months are rough for stuff like this
 
mouse409:   has joined the chat.
 
moderator_kh:   I figure some people think you have to know a lot about cars in general/Cougars specifically to join in, but heck, if you look at the Mazda Protege transcript (i think), they are talking about everything under the sun.
 
badulah:   Mouse!!
 
moderator_kh:   hiya mouse!
 
badulah:   check out the following link:
 
moderator_kh:   Ok, shoot.
 
badulah:   http:www.cougarsupportgroup.com/photoalbum.htm
 
moderator_kh:   Is that the link to your pictures from a few weeks ago?
 
badulah:   No, its from Lake Placid. The Lime Rock pics will be up soon. As soon as we receive all of them from the attending members
 
mouse409:   hi people
 
moderator_kh:   I was looking for them last week, but I don't think they were up yet.
 
stageleft:   has joined the chat.
 
stageleft:   Hey everybody
 
stageleft:   !
 
moderator_kh:   Let me have a look at the pics that ARE up.
 
moderator_kh:   My poor computer is sooooo slow, but hopefully they'll load OK.
 
mouse409:   I broke my camera 5 min after we got tot lime rock
 
badulah:   Does that link work?
 
moderator_kh:   Yeah, it's loading now.
 
stageleft:   Really? Is that why you weren't taking pictures?
 
badulah:   http:www.cougarsupportgroup.com/photoalbum.htm
 
moderator_kh:   Lefty, what's with the lag time loading the pics from lime rock?
 
mouse409:   yes, stupidity, operator problems
 
badulah:   Like I said, we haven’t gotten all of them back from the people who attended the event
 
stageleft:   Too many pics on the page.
 
stageleft:   They should be small compared to the first time they were posted.
 
mouse409:   got 2 pics of the car in the lot, thats it.
 
badulah:   I designed the page, and lefty modified some of the files for faster loading. I will try and do a better job with the Lime Rock Pics
 
moderator_kh:   The Lake Placid pics downloaded pretty quickly, so you did fine on that set.
 
moderator_kh:   badulah looks like the mystery man in lp069.jpg.
 
badulah:   did you first say they were downloading slowly?
 
moderator_kh:   No, I was just worried that it would be slow because of my slow PC/connection.
 
badulah:   has joined the chat.
 
moderator_kh:   Don't leave mad, badulah.
 
stageleft:   Cool. Just checking.
 
mouse409:   ploop
 
badulah:   What pic is that one?
 
stageleft:   Fizz
 
badulah:   What does the caption say under it?
 
moderator_kh:   fastback2, badulah, and stageleft, left to right.
 
badulah:   I look fat in that pic
 
moderator_kh:   atop white face mountain.
 
stageleft:   LOL!
 
badulah:   The wind puffed up my shirt
 
moderator_kh:   You look like you're a fugitive.
 
mouse409:   ya
 
stageleft:   We felt like it.
 
mouse409:   i got that problem also
 
badulah:   Combat action Badulah: Battle Action Cougar Sold Separately
 
moderator_kh:   mouse, are there any pictures of you/your car on the 'net?
 
badulah:   Mouse was there
 
mouse409:   don’t know
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, you're killing me. I'm trying to eat pizza here!
 
badulah:  
 
mouse409:   mine it the top of the page
 
stageleft:   unga bunga
 
moderator_kh:   I'm going to scroll through and see if mouse is in any of them. You're the only person I haven't seen yet!
 
mouse409:   your not missin anything
 
badulah:   First page last pic. THERE IS MOUSE!!!
 
mouse409:   kool
 
stageleft:   What, where, Mouse who?
 
moderator_kh:   OK, i just hit the "page two" link... gotta hit back.
 
mouse409:   how do you guys see the pics
 
badulah:   Page 2 has individual pics of us with our cats
 
moderator_kh:   first page last pic is just a bunch of cats.
 
badulah:   did you get the link mouse?
 
moderator_kh:   I found one that says "mouse409 and his cat", so we'll see what that holds.
 
mouse409:   screwed it up, i think
 
badulah:   www.cougarsupportgroup.com/photoalbum.htm
 
mouse409:   screwed it up i think
 
moderator_kh:   Mouse looks great, but the cat is in the dark!
 
badulah:   What size monitor do you have KH? And what is your res set to?
 
stageleft:   There's a link from the regular CSG site
 
moderator_kh:   Um... um... um... badulah, the questions are just too hard.
 
moderator_kh:   Little monitor here... 15 inches, i reckon.
 
stageleft:   How big are your icons?
 
stageleft:   Don't take that wrong.
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, that's sooooo personal. But I trust you: 800x600
 
stageleft:   CSG thinktank mouth
 
badulah:   I use 1024x768
 
stageleft:   I think the page is designed for `024x768
 
badulah:   LOL!!!!
 
moderator_kh:   Yeah, at work I can do that well, but I've got a 19 or 21 inch monitor too.
 
badulah:   I will have to rethink the design when I do the Lime Rock Page
 
mouse409:   I’m lost, don’t know what I got
 
badulah:   I have a 19 here at home
 
stageleft:   17"
 
badulah:   Did you find the link mouse?
 
mouse409:   17"
 
moderator_kh:   Well, keep in mind that very few people are as low-tech as me at home. We're upgrading soon.
 
mouse409:   ya , now what do I do with it?
 
stageleft:   Currently I'm using a 9.7" because the big computer is on the satellite
 
stageleft:   That's satellite, and did I mention the keyboard is smaller?
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, is that a laptop?
 
badulah:   cut and paste it in to a explorer browser window and hit enter. That will take you to the page
 
stageleft:   Yeah.
 
moderator_kh:   Otherwise, you got ripped off for the monitor, big time.
 
badulah:   Its from an Apple IIC from 1985
 
stageleft:   I guess really, it's a "sub-notebook"
 
stageleft:   It's really tiny.
 
badulah:   He was supposed to use a new window
 
mouse409:   has joined the chat.
 
moderator_kh:   mouse is having the same problem I used to have.
 
stageleft:   And I have really large hands.
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, I'd be surprised if you didn't... you look rather above average height in the pictures.
 
badulah:   their so big that the drag on the ground behind him when he walks
 
moderator_kh:   unless badulah is about 5'2"
 
mouse409:   got it but I loose u guys
 
stageleft:   Yeah, I could stand taller than two cougars stacked up
 
badulah:   Open a separate window
 
moderator_kh:   mouse, you gotta open up a new window first.
 
mouse409:   I need a stepladder to talk to lefty
 
badulah:   Mouse: Are you using Internet explorer?
 
moderator_kh:   mouse, you and I both!
 
mouse409:   I got computer props, only 1 window at a time
 
stageleft:   Oh, thanks KH, for getting the chat transcripts on the CSG forum.
 
badulah:   yeah thanks!
 
mouse409:   2 programs and we crash
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, that was dana's idea... I am doing some editing, but she is the initiator of the idea.
 
moderator_kh:   It's a great idea, though.
 
badulah:   Mouse: I guess you will have to wait until after the session. How old is your PC?
 
stageleft:   Well then, thank Dana - if she doesn't show up tonight.
 
mouse409:   2.5 years
 
mouse409:   Ill try it later
 
badulah:   I wonder why you can't open 2 windows at once?
 
moderator_kh:   younger than mine, mouse. Mine is 3.5 yrs old. I think it's a 166 mHz, and when I got it i thought it was super fast.
 
mouse409:   Sals got too much junk on this one
 
badulah:   c: format
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, that's interesting.
 
mouse409:   I like livin too much lol
 
badulah:   that would take care os Sal's stuff
 
moderator_kh:   ah....
 
moderator_kh:   but all the other stuff as well, right?
 
stageleft:   Sure would!
 
badulah:   True true
 
stageleft:   Sure would!
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, you look like you are in hiding in every one of these pictures.
 
mouse409:   did that at work by mistake, years ago
 
badulah:   I'm hoping to have the Lime Rock stuff up by next week.
 
badulah:   I just need Lefty's pics and Fastback's pics
 
moderator_kh:   Were you incognito there as well?
 
badulah:   Actually I hate being in pics.
 
stageleft:   When you're behind the camera all the time, like Badulah ...
 
mouse409:   I’m there guarding the beer
 
stageleft:   The big show is this Friday!!!
 
moderator_kh:   he he... there are a few of you in there, mouse.
 
badulah:   You and Kate
 
moderator_kh:   What's up this friday?
 
stageleft:   Speedvision at 8pm, Friday.
 
badulah:   actually Kate was stealing the beer
 
badulah:   This Friday!?
 
stageleft:   The race where we get to be on TV!!!
 
stageleft:   Yes!!!
 
stageleft:   I'm taping it .
 
moderator_kh:   Is that a channel, or the name of the show?
 
badulah:   I WISH I HAD SPEEDVISION!!! YA GOTTA TAPE IT LEFTY!!
 
stageleft:   Speedvision is the channel.
 
mouse409:   this friday GOT to watch that if I get it
 
stageleft:   The show is the GT and Touring car challenge
 
badulah:   I should drive down so we can watch it together
 
stageleft:   We could laugh, and cry, in remembrance
 
moderator_kh:   I don't think I get that channel. I get 150 channels, and wouldn't you know that that's not one of them.
 
badulah:   Same here KH
 
mouse409:   cry in our beer LOL
 
stageleft:   It rained hard. That's all I'm saying.
 
moderator_kh:   It would be like "Terms of Endearment" all over again.
 
stageleft:   Or Officer and a Gentleman
 
stageleft:   Or Waiting to Exhale
 
mouse409:   Did it Rain that weekend????
 
badulah:   Didn't see either of them
 
stageleft:   Or Mystic Pizza
 
moderator_kh:   Me neither, badulah. Chick flicks:)
 
badulah:   you seem like the chick flick type
 
stageleft:   This is what I'm subjected to by Marriage ....
 
moderator_kh:   Hey! Watch what you're saying.
 
stageleft:   <---cringes mouse409:   get more TV's
 
badulah:   Thank GOD I am still single
 
moderator_kh:   Actually, we watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the first time last night....
 
badulah:   Single and unemployed. I have nothing to worry about
 
stageleft:   How did you like it?
 
stageleft:   No good?
 
mouse409:   Retired....my dream
 
moderator_kh:   If that had beaten Gladiator for Best Picture, it would have been a crime.
 
mouse409:   Bad ... your there
 
stageleft:   Ii still haven't seen Gladiator.
 
stageleft:   Yikes, right?
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, GREAT guy film.
 
badulah:   (Badulah's lips are moving, but not to the rhythm of the words you hear) MMMMMMM, so you want to fight? Fight me!!!!
 
mouse409:   I just saw Titanic
 
stageleft:   I bet.
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, have you been dubbed?
 
stageleft:   Not knighted.
 
stageleft:   Earl of Sandwich
 
badulah:   I HATED Titanic with an undying passion
 
moderator_kh:   no. dubbed, meaning he needs subtitles:)
 
moderator_kh:   <--never saw Titanic. badulah:   Earl of unemployment
 
stageleft:   Play on words (something I do, sorry)
 
mouse409:   Last movie I saw in the theater
 
moderator_kh:   I have seen MOST bad movies (on DVD), but not that one.
 
stageleft:   Duke of Earl of Unemployment?
 
badulah:   You called Lefty?
 
mouse409:   I like to call it working for the state
 
moderator_kh:   Name the worst movie you've seen, EVER.
 
stageleft:   I had to leave a message.
 
badulah:   Twin Peaks: Come Fire Walk With Me
 
stageleft:   Probably some B-rated thing that went terribly wrong.
 
badulah:   TOTAL CRAP!!!!!!
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, that's not even an enticing title.
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, I mean a "real" movie, one that attempts to be serious.
 
stageleft:   Oh. Let me think ...
 
badulah:   My friend's girlfriend talked us in to going to see it. It made NO sense from start to finish. We got so bored we actually go up, laid down in the isle and rolled down the center of the theater.
 
moderator_kh:   It is a toss-up for me -- I don't know whether to count "Primary Colors" since I turned it off 1/2 way through. If so, that's it. Otherwise, it could be "Pushing Tin."
 
mouse409:   sounds KOOL!!!
 
badulah:   It was
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, was that more fun, or just less sleep-inducing?
 
badulah:   both of us got yelled at by her.
 
badulah:   It was fun
 
mouse409:   You shoulda had your horn
 
badulah:   LOL!!!
 
badulah:   That would have woken everyone up
 
badulah:   I love that thing
 
mouse409:   oh ya
 
stageleft:   So, I want to test my theory, but I may be going over my head: My friend's sister just got a new BMW 330i, and I want to see if I can keep up.
 
badulah:   Scares the crap out of my neighbors all the time
 
moderator_kh:   keep up how, lefty?
 
stageleft:   Scared you when it blew up in your hand.
 
badulah:   Should be an interesting race. What is your theory?
 
stageleft:   In the Cougar
 
mouse409:   gotta get me one of those
 
stageleft:   I'm thinking I could keep up until the BMW pulled all the way out in front until I couldn't see it anymore.
 
badulah:   They have them at the automotive stores, like PEP boys
 
stageleft:   Then I'd have a coffee and a donut and see if it came back.
 
badulah:   Lefty: Huh?
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, so like the first 1.3 seconds you'd be OK?
 
stageleft:   Yup.
 
stageleft:   Then it would be all BMW
 
badulah:   you could keep up with a 325 and maybe a 325, but a 330?
 
stageleft:   Sad, except for I could keep up in the corners.
 
stageleft:   I'd try.
 
badulah:   thats a 323 and a 325
 
stageleft:   I knew what you meant.
 
badulah:   I have raced a few 323s on the highway
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, maybe a little sabotage would help.
 
stageleft:   They're too easy.
 
badulah:   I love the surprised look I always get from the driver
 
stageleft:   I love the looks on their faces as you pass though.
 
mouse409:   maybe u could borrow Leo's
 
stageleft:   THAT would be sweeeeet.
 
badulah:   I would LOVE to drive Leos for a few laps
 
stageleft:   Or a large stick in the spokes, eh KH?
 
moderator_kh:   Well, most people are probably surprised considering the other models that Mercury are known for.
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, it looks comparable in, erm... shininess, to a BMW.
 
mouse409:   you will loose when you think, you win when you KNOW you can win
 
moderator_kh:   I think you could take it in a "shiny" competition.
 
moderator_kh:   mouse, our pub philosopher.
 
stageleft:   It's better looking than the German utilitarian design!!
 
mouse409:   think POSITIVE
 
stageleft:   I just caught a fly in my chopsticks.
 
mouse409:   just an old drag racer
 
badulah:   Wise man once say: Never drive shiny cougar through the yellow snow
 
mouse409:   so i don’t drive in any snow
 
stageleft:   And never buy Cougar from brother Shecky ...
 
moderator_kh:   ...and never leave Crayons in back window on hot sunny day.
 
stageleft:   Yikes!!! You win, call it off!
 
badulah:   I take it you did that once KH
 
mouse409:   $233 for my new wheel
 
stageleft:   That's harsh. Crayons are bd.
 
stageleft:   You got one, then?
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, I'd say several times.
 
mouse409:   coming
 
mouse409:   Sal had to have it
 
stageleft:   Cool.
 
stageleft:   LOL!
 
moderator_kh:   mouse, a steering wheel?
 
mouse409:   Im gonna make a planter out of the old one
 
badulah:   You got it already Mouse?
 
badulah:   $233 is steep for a 15" wheel.
 
mouse409:   oh ya
 
stageleft:   I use an old spare wheel to hold the music stand down.
 
mouse409:   I know
 
moderator_kh:   <--driving a mazda 626 this week. stageleft:   Just checking.
 
stageleft:   Why?
 
moderator_kh:   My car still has not been fixed by the dealership. They said they had it ready on friday, and they had done almost nothing in a week's time.
 
badulah:   How do you like the Mazda?
 
moderator_kh:   But what they did do was return it to me with the floormats soaking wet, soap still in them. So that's cool.
 
stageleft:   Shoulda bought a Cougar ... I'm sorry to hear that all dealer service departments are the same.
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, I think it is OK. I had a mazda before, and they are incredibly reliable. But I like *my* car much better.
 
stageleft:   Oh, yay! (rolls his eyes)
 
moderator_kh:   Yeah, and they put some shiny stuff on the tires.
 
stageleft:   I love having the grease all around the hood area when getting it back from an oil change.
 
badulah:   I noticed that Edmunds is making an owners club for Kia owners. These people actually want to be identified?
 
mouse409:   I got that here
 
stageleft:   LOL LOL
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, you are a harsh man.
 
mouse409:   LOL
 
moderator_kh:   maybe they need "support."
 
stageleft:   Hey now ...
 
badulah:   I speak the truth. Most people can't handle the truth (In his best Jack Nickelson voice)
 
stageleft:   That sounded horrible.
 
mouse409:   LOL
 
badulah:   The loaner I had should have come with a disguise
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, so you've actually driven one. I thought you were bashing without experience.
 
badulah:   Yeah I know. Dog chow, chop liver
 
badulah:   Nope I had a Purple Kia Sephia loner.
 
mouse409:   What color?
 
moderator_kh:   purple, a VERY manly color.
 
stageleft:   With no tint to hide your shame.
 
mouse409:   PLurple
 
badulah:   The Grape Ape Mobile
 
moderator_kh:   Speaking of bashing... tomorrow night we are having an SUV-related chat...
 
stageleft:   A color generally referring to Purple, but not quite in the same gender category: Plurple
 
badulah:   Do you expect a lot of bashing to occur?
 
stageleft:   It's the CSG word of the week.
 
mouse409:   OCCURE
 
stageleft:   ?
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, yup. The name of it is "I don't like SUVs... why do you?
 
stageleft:   Because they're cool, if you're a "truck person"
 
moderator_kh:   occur, yeah!! Finally someone has invented a word this week.
 
stageleft:   Mouse> did we have trouble with the cat and the keyboard?
 
moderator_kh:   There are a load of us working that chat because it could be crazy, but fun I'm sure.
 
moderator_kh:   You always get a few nutters in there.
 
mouse409:   always
 
stageleft:   Bounce 'em
 
badulah:   I don't like SUVs
 
mouse409:   bad man said that
 
mouse409:   do get me started
 
mouse409:   That was DONT
 
stageleft:   Oh, I see ... Captain Fingers = the Badman
 
badulah:   If I didn't have to work, I would consider joining the chat
 
stageleft:   However, I think I'd speculate by saying "a different colored KIA for each day of the week.
 
mouse409:   Hello
 
stageleft:   LOL!
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, there's a job you could aim for.
 
badulah:   (If you would like to make a call, please........)
 
moderator_kh:   lefty, is that YOUR answer, or badulah's answer?
 
stageleft:   Captain sarcasm.
 
stageleft:   Badulah's answer!
 
stageleft:   You know it's true.
 
moderator_kh:   captain irony to the rescue.
 
badulah:   I need to buy an ice cream truck and sell ice cream for the summer.
 
mouse409:   The Weakest link
 
badulah:   goodbye!
 
badulah:   Hello?
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, you could probably get ahold of an ambulance seeing as you're working the 911 center. Just remember to slow down, or you'll never sell any ice cream.
 
stageleft:   But the morgue truck has the cooler.
 
badulah:   I could advertise for Edmunds and the CSG on the truck
 
stageleft:   Wear your safety belts.
 
mouse409:   how could u take that music all the time?
 
stageleft:   Mozart had a good thing going.
 
badulah:   I would play my own music. My business, my music
 
moderator_kh:   mouse, the insanity of the job would get to you before the music.
 
mouse409:   Mister Softee
 
badulah:   I would play the gran turismo II Sound track all day long "Move aside and let the man go through, let the man go through"
 
stageleft:   LOL!
 
badulah:   I downloaded the soundtrack and burned it on to CD. I crank it in my car all the time
 
stageleft:   That must sound pretty good.
 
moderator_kh:   badulah, nothing like scaring your customers.
 
badulah:   I could play some Marlyn Manson for the kitties
 
stageleft:   You could always sell rides in your Cougar.
 
stageleft:   And Snoop for the Doggies?
 
mouse409:   there will be dancing in the streets
 
badulah:   "Sit down, buckle up, and shut up!!"
 
moderator_kh:   free ice cream for Cougar drivers?
 
stageleft:   Rolling what?
 
badulah:   and cute chickas
 
badulah:   I'll be like Joey from friends when he works in the coffee shop
