#1976 of 2033 Great pictures, andeet... by iluvmysephia1 Oct 06, 2008 (7:22 pm)
and I am so sorry about your Mom. I lost my Dad in 2004 and still can't believe he's gone. My best friend in the world, gone. Our parents shape us in so many ways. Dad loved his pickup trucks, their '73 Plymouth Gold Duster, and his baby blue '66 VW Fastback(great car, I learned how to drive stick in that car with the patient help of my Dad).   I love my '08 Lancer GTS. Mitsu found a great maker of body kits for that car. That is a big part of why I love my '08 Lancer GTS, the bodykit. The car offers a lot more than that, though. Leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift(the steering wheel felt so nifty in my hands this morning), the titanium paddle shifters are cool just behind the steering wheel, the boomin' 650-watt stereo, the foglights, sunroof, spoiler, etc. The Lancer GTS offers so much for the money and the car drives and handles well, you can push it in to turns and it locks on to a circular spot and asks you to push it some more. Mitsubishi makes a mean driving machine. The more I learn about them the more I respect them as carbuilders.   Your Scion tC looks great in that picture.   BTW, my bro-in-law, a Chicago cop, owns a vacation house on Fox Lake, in northern Illinois, that shouldn't be that far from your neck-o-the-woods, huh? Heard of Fox Lake before? And you're from the land of 'That 70's Show', too! What a celebrity!   Keep us up-to-date with what cha'all doin' over yonda, all right?

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Oct 06, 2008 7:22 pm) Of course, I heard of Fox Lake! I was originally born in Northern Illinois. My Dad was born in Chicago while my Mom was born in Indianapolis. I drive to Waukegan for work. So I put least 72 miles a day just for work. I think I received my driving foot from my Mom's side of the family. "Indy Leadfooter" lol   "That 70's Show" is actually supposed to be Pleasant Prairie not Point Place. It's small town close to statelines but is mostly industrial & commerical area. My employer is in the process building 30,000 sq ft corprate building and 1,000,000 sq ft corprate warehouse along near Interstate 94. I won't have to drive the 72 miles starting December of 2009. We already have 600,000 sq foot warehouse there which I did work at until last May. Stupid building manager had to be dumb "butt" towards me and I asked to transfer back to Waukegan Corp branch since we didn't get along after that....lol

thanks for the northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin edumacation!   Yeah, my wife and son went to that vacation house in late June-early July '08 to recreate. I guess you can go to this sandspit in the center of the lake to go to the bar and to listen to rock bands, etc. Bro-in-law has a volleyball net set up and a boat docked there on their property to play in.   Yeah, isn't work fun when somebody decides they want to be obstinate about something or other? Workplaces can be such a pain in the butt anyway, but when you get somebody that decides to ravelrouse with you it really can be a pain. Part of the problem is that those types start to feel like they "own" the place after they achieve some sort of milestone or they have successfully "brown-nosed" their way to a certain position. Power can be such a energy-sapping phenomenon to other worker-bees at a workplace!   I liked this little town called Geneva west of Chicago that we rode bikes at. Always a fair-type atmosphere going on, even if one of their many "celebrations" isn't going on. Nice place to walk around on the streets and hob-knob.
#1980 of 2033 Sorry Peeps! I kind of went WAY off the edge on the deleted post. by andeet Oct 23, 2008 (3:33 am)
It's just a pain. I enjoyed operating equipment. Now I can't...   Anyway, I may get new friend down the road.         '05 RS 1.0, 5-Speed, 38k, interior in good shape, no major or minor scratches, wheels haven't been scratched, underbody looks quite well, and brand new Toyo tires. "Sexy Red" or "S.R. (For short)" is the name I thought of when "I love at first sight." She could be Bullitt's older girlfriend LOL   Bullitt and I can easily have her for $14,9xx. Which is the highest price tag on a 2nd car loan I can go.   So......I decided if Sexy Red is still at Kenosha Carmax around Christmas. I'll use my big fancy bonus' for a down payment. I can afford both tCs including insurance. I just can't go anywhere except for work until March. Which I feel would be a good way to stop my driving habits.   If I have "IT MOVES (MVS) ME" on my current tC's plate. What will I get? How about this?     (What Moves You?) LOL

I sure like the Scion tC. I test drove a 2005 Scion tC RS 1.0 in Absolutely Red in Idaho Falls, ID, in late 2006. I was there to test drive a 2006 Scion xA in Polar White and iPod connectivity, foglights and 5-speed manual. Ended up not getting either car but I liked how both drove, actually. Just wasn't the right time to buy.   Glad I waited for my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. You're really gonna spring for another Scion tC? Wow! Replies to this message: andeet (Nov 05, 2008 3:04 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Nov 04, 2008 8:44 am) Well, I have good news and bad news.   Good news...I'm back to operating equipment but I'm still wanted to work as warehouse clerk. So there's 80% chance I'm getting raise since there's more important duties. Should raise me to $19.00s.   Bad news...Carmax sold the RS tC within the first week. Sooo, I'm going to save the extra green and see if I can buy something base, if denied I'm using the $10k to payoff some other debts like student loans! In 2010, I could easily only have my car payment and insurance. That's if I play my cards correctly.   All depends on how soon will I grow up? lol
#1983 of 2033 That would be nice... by iluvmysephia1 Nov 15, 2008 (3:52 pm)
to only have those two payments. Knowing Murphy's Law or just life in general who knows if such a thing is really possible. One can hope, though.   Movin' on up at your job is cool, though, at any rate!
