2. .
You madam are treading dangerously close to the madinmaryland/creekdog/symarip category of PITA...
BTW did I tell you I nicknamed Sophie CreekKitty cause of how much of a PITA she is?

4. Actually, no.
As part of the Tommy_Carcetti-TZ Armistice of April 13, 2009, I agreed to adopt the Nationals as my fourth favorite team in exchange for TZ supporting my Chuggo Week posts. So the Nationals sucking only depresses me more.

Thanks for the thought, though.

5. You know...
I think you should try to figure out a way to work in Chuggo and "ileagles". Seems so right, no?

6. *sigh*
I'm soooooooo out of the loop, with regard to the Chuggo stuff. I have no idea who Chuggo is.

Maybe I should start a thread.

11. I'll do it right fucking now.
But then I have to leave for about an hour, to run errands. I'll come back to observe the carnage as soon as I can.

12. True.
And with Chuggo week co-inciding with the pirate crisis, the event takes on a more momentous occassion.

10. Don't know if this helps, but -
Edited on Tue Apr-14-09 02:57 PM by old mark
I once had a Fiat Spyder that cost over $600 for a tune up - in the 1980's!!!
Of course, it ran great afterwards - till my ex totaled it.

15. A tune up on the avg Ferrari runs around $5000.00
So you see, it could be worse.

16. Unless you total it first.....
in which case a tune-up is not needed, and you save yourself the $5000.

22. If you have a car payment, that sucks.
If you don't, think of it as your car payment. That's what I do. I have to put about $1200 into my little '92 Chevy S10 every six months to keep it running. Sweet little purple truck, gets me noticed. And I trust my mechanic, which is always good.

23. Thankfully, it's paid off.
I don't care much for this car (04 Corolla), but because it's paid off, I live with it.

28. I know!
And that was AFTER a mechanic charged us $300 to not be able to fix it, and sent us off to the dealership, which always has such reasonable prices. :eyes:

30. In the last 5 months, I've paid $1200 in repair bills to keep driving a car that's worth 75 dollars.
You wanna hear something GOOD? You aren't ME.

Congratulations on that.
