FRIDAY'S Big Brown Beaver

[jamus34]

Anyone who gets a WRX with an automatic has questionable moral fiber.

Or only one leg.

That said the CVT on an automobile is probably the worst invention since headlight washers.

Pratt :P

Are you of the body? Joy to you, friend. Peace and contentment will fill you. You will know the peace of Pratt.

2005 Chevy Colorado with a big dent in the tail-end. This IS the South after all and you got to have at least one pick-em-up truck in every family. Praise Be To The Pratt!!!

[JasonPratt]

Truth to having at least one pick-up per family here in the South!

Alas, my prophetic credentials have yet to be assigned, since I am still without a Subaru in my lifetime.  :'(  Not from a lack of trying, tho.

The gap between a GT Premium and a RAV4 Limited Hybrid is, in my case, exactly nothing, since they would have cost me the same either way. The RAV has more bling; the Stang would have more performance. I think Mom was disappointed I didn't get the Mustang, although she's the one who insisted I go try to find a Toyota since Mustangs are Fords and Toyotas are Toyotas. Lord knows I don't need much of anything behind the front seat -- all that space is wasted, and worse serves as a performance drag! 

But in the end things will work out, since I'm guaranteed to sell it eventually at the eventual local average retailer instead of trade-in value. And it shouldn't cost me as much as a Mustang to operate in the meantime. So I'll have more money later to put toward the next vehicle. Perhaps one of the first Elios, when they finally start production down in Louisiana.

Also, the roads down here are crawling with Mustangs, so getting one wouldn't be very distinctive.

Meanwhile, I have finally sent in my Turn Zero for the new GROGS IN OF CRISIS forum/Vassal game.

Next up, trying to decide if I have enough mental fortitude to stab at the Alea Jacta Est game. (Not the same timeframe.)

[Gusington]

Get an old Subaru Brat...Pratt.

[Hofstadter]

Booked my driving test for the end of august. Still. Got five lessons in my package though to figure out three hellish roundabouts right outside the vicroads office.

For games, I picked up Foxhole, it seems ok, but I don't like how there's little indication of where the action is or what is needed. Seems to rely too much on communication. I've been playing empire total war as the United provinces. Fisting the Spanish out of America. I forgot how horrific the battle ai is.

[Kushan]

My first weekend with my new PC fully up and running. Had many plans to stretch its legs a little but all I ended up playing was Command Live! Pole Positions during a stream on Friday and WoW. Spent 90% of the rest of my gaming time working on a new CMANO scenario. Spent a lot of time reading US Army field manuals and doing research on Soviet/Russian army SAM systems. Damn do Russian SAM systems proliferate faster then rabbits.

Fresh off my stupendous 'Minor Victory' over the Senones in Alea Jacta Est, I will be chasing dinosaurs in Storm of Zehir.

gg and gj!
