Yes. Yes, you do have to watch out for those snakes. They can be quite mischevious...

You and T&T should either leave or get your own fucking identies. You're both annoying and neither one of you has said anything of value yet.

There are valid reasons for people to lease. For example my mom lives somewhere that she needs a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Anything less is not an option. And she doesn't have the money to buy one and keep replacing it every 3-4 years. So her choice is to own a old, decripit car that will require loads of repair expense or lease a new one every 3 years. I'm very happy she chose to lease. I no longer have to worry about her breaking down in a 10 year old piece of shit Jeep in the middle of winter. And I wasn't counting on the vehicle value as part of my inheritance anyway.

That said, I own my car. And it's paid off. Hate car payments.

So let me get this straight -- you are saying that leasing is good for the poor mothers of fancy lawyer-ladies who purport to worry about mom breaking down on the highway but would rather fritter their money away on online poker than buy mumsie a new reliable car?

And here I thought you were one of those nicey-nice posters.

Agreed, there are some valid reasons. Actually, any reason is valid to the person using it. If a person just has to have a new car every two years because, well, he must, that is valid to him. The car junkie shouldn't complain about debt though.

Atticus and his amazing analysis on leases.

Yes. That's it. I have never had a car at the end of a lease be worth more than what the "pay-off" value was. They calculate with intricate detail what the car's market value will be in 2, 3 or 4 years. Plus the money factor, until recently, has been amazing.

And who eats in a brand new car Thasher?
Plus, I do my own detailing. Have wax and microfiber cloth - no one does it as good as me - and I'll leave it at that.

There was one time when and ex and I were, um, between acts if you will, and things were just beginning to heat up for another round when the phone rang. I, naturally, encouraged her to ignore it and continue with the festivities. She, knowing it was her mother, insisted on answering. So much for additional rounds.

The worst part was that she felt bad about it later. So women apparently just don't have their priorities straight.

First time the Mrs. and I had sex, a friend of mine called after round 1. She asked if I was busy, and I said, "Not any more." But that didn't stop us from engaging in round 2.

The Mrs. has engaged in that same felt-bad-about-not-having-sex later activity. There are few things that make me more angry than hearing, "Yes, we should have had sex" or "I was horny, but . . . ."

Applies to guys and chicks. Don't you watch Friends?

How about "letting the kitty sit in an open window"?

But more important is the question of whether you do engage in such activities, and, if so, how often.

Who eats in any car? WTF, I say. You can't wait to get home or to a restaurant? I glance around when I drive or ride in a car and there are just way too many people filling their faces in cars today. Besides the obvious issues which I won't mention, it should be considered as dangerous as other driving distractions like cell phones and screaming kids. Oh, and people who put their dogs in the bed of their pick-up or let them practically hang out of the window unrestrained should be run over repeatedly and left on the side of the road as a warning to other idiots -- if you value your dog's life that little why not just have it put down. Sheesh.

I only wished that worked. I can't count the number of times (even 2 weeks ago) when the sign was on the door and that sign serves as no deterrent at all.

The second lock (you know the hookey thing), however, is a great tool.

Now would be an appropriate time for all of you to weigh in with stories of your own examples of coitus interruptus, or almost coitus interruptus.

Random hookup in undergrad. We were in my car parked in front of the women's dorm. The thumbs up I received from a curious fraternity brother who just happened to be walking by were not disturbing, and the gesture was returned. It was disturbing several minutes later when campus police knocked on the window with a flashlight. Hookup girl ran nekkid into the dorm, leaving me searching frantically for my underwear.

Somehow, I knew where the girl's room was, and rejoined her after the campus cops were through with me. I remember seeing the sun start to come up as we continued our sweet random hookup lovemaking.

I awoke to the screams of "Get in the closet." I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 8:30. I ran to the closet and was standing in the dark nekkid when I heard her DAD come in the room. They yelled back and forth at each other for what seems like hours but was probably more like 5 minutes. He finally left, and she opened the closet door and threw in my underwear. I weaved my way through the dorm hallway back to my car, avoiding eye contact with the early rising coeds, halfhard under my boxers.

And I don't know if this counts as coitus, but it looks like fb cut off someone's head.

No. Too much baseball/hockey/football/racing/FoxNews on -- and I don't TIVO.

Good god, no. They told her to look female, not lesbian.

Sheesh.

don't forget the ones who drive with their dog in their lap. good idea. Not. I'd hate to see what happens when the air bag explodes. Or even if it doesn't explode, the impact with the steering wheel has got to be just as bad. And doesn't it affect your ability to steer?
