Participant[quote=temeculaguy]Buying a repo, even a two year old one, can be trying at times. How do people break multiple light switches (actually crack the rocker) in such a short time? I think “The Hulk” lived there.[/quote]
Do you have kids?
“You’re going to sleep! NOW!” CLICK!
Congratulations.

ParticipantI’m sure that as soon as she told anyone that she was from San Diego, she was immediately overwhelmed with Northern Californians telling her how horrible SoCal is, and how they would never consider living someplace so boring and evil.
As an LA/OC guy who was at Berkeley, I constantly had to hear about how bad the traffic was in LA (really? seemed worse in the Bay Area to me), how LA stole all of its water from Northern California to water its lawns and fill its swimming pools (really? the Owens Valley thing is indeed a travesty, but at least we didn’t dam up a canyon in Yosemite for our water, and hey, my city actually used the local aquifer), how culturally superior SF is (really? where’s the better art scene? which city has better museums?) .
Maybe some of this stuck, or maybe this is about her finding a place that she can call her own for the first time in her life. I think “boring” is in the eye of the beholder, but I would argue that the Bay Area is generally a lot more interesting than Southern California, and San Diego in particular. I love them both, for different reasons. Rather than having hurt feelings, I would be glad that my daughter has fallen in love with a place that is, as you pointed out, a short jaunt away.

ParticipantForget that, breeze. I’m buying a Canyonero:
She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She’s a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!People might be surprised at the mileage some cars get. My 2005 Accord (4 cyl) gets 20-22 mpg in the city. Now, we’re a one car family and only put about 6K miles on it per year, but that has been pretty disappointing.
The SUVs, when driven by people under the illusion that they are safer or offer prestige, irk me because of their size and general unwieldiness more than the environmental aspect. I’d like to get a bunch of bumper stickers that say “U.S.S. Lardass” and stick them on the ones driven by people who can’t manage to get them into a parking space at the grocery store.
