Replying to: jrosasmc (Feb 27, 2007 8:50 pm) Searchlight is about 50 miles south of Vegas off the Needles highway, and is a wide spot in the road, not too wide. One motel, one store, etc. Harry (whom I know very well, but don't get along with very well anymore) was called Pinky when he was young in Searchlight. He likes to use his humble beginnings to show how in touch with the common man he is - but he's worth zillions now and not much of that, if any, has gone home to Searchlight from what we can see. Or, frankly, back to Nevada anymore. I think he's forgotten us. BUT, I digress..... For the record, Mrs. Senator Harry Reid drives a Town Car, and Harry drives a complimentary Chevy when he comes into town, provided by one of the local auto groups - again, to show how humble he is. If you need reservations to stay in Searchlight, call the Searchlight Nugget - but they always have "a room".....trust me....

Replying to: nvbanker (Feb 28, 2007 5:12 pm) I'm going to be headed for Vegas, this June. My wifes cousin is getting married there. I figured we could meet up and you could give me a VIP tour around Groom Lake.  Rocky P.S. How did Harry Reid get rich ? I'm not a huge fan of his because he comes across to passive but he does have some good idea's once in a while.

Replying to: rockylee (Mar 09, 2007 11:15 pm) Harry Reid got rich (extremely rich) from his political career, and the land deals it enabled him to transact with inside information. He's been clipped for a few of them, but very few indeed. Land speculation here, for those who can afford to, is a sure thing. He's hoping to get a call to be VP in 08 to whomever gets the nomination.

Replying to: nvbanker (Mar 13, 2007 3:38 pm) Well I'd love to do just that.  Harry, doesn't have the clout to get picked as a running mate by any of the contenders. Obama, Edwards, are most likely to get those slots IMHO. Harry, has way to many skeletons in his closet for the right to hammer him on and is often looked at as a flip flopper. Rocky |

A reporter with a national news magazine is hoping to talk to consumers who drove to Woodstock. If you drove in a VW Microbus with a psychedelic paint job, that would be great too. The reporter will speak to anyone who drove to Woodstock. Please reply to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Wednesday, March 21, 2007 with your daytime contact info.

1992 Mustang-Got it from aunt as my first car. Was part of trade in deal for Mazda 626(see below.) 1998 Mazda 626 LX 4 cyl-nice gas mileadge, interior and nice cloth seats. Was sad to see car go at the time! Was a leased car. 2002 Acura CL(base) Nice car and have had it for 5 1/2 years with 57,600 miles on it. Just got the rear brakes and rotors done and oil is changed every 3,000 miles. Next car: probably back to Mazda or maybe a Mitsu(they seem to have their act back together) although I can keep the Acura for a 3-5 more years. |
