How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon?

I saw this thread, does that answer your question? :•)

10 steps? 12 steps?

Reminds me of that hitchhiker Ben Stiller picked up in There's Something About Mary. "No, not 6 Minute Abs! SEVEN!! You can't get a good workout in 6 minutes!

OK, since most of the Goof Patrol is here, the other thing I'm doing right now besides 'GoN-Loitering is trying to figure out where I'm gonna spend the vacation days I had to put in for here at work. The days I'm looking at are Sept. 2-6, and Oct. 1-4. Of this year. Nothing too fancy. Just some place I can go to unwind, get a massage, read and possibly get lucky on one of those days.

Even though it's mostly a party town for us Gringos, I thought about Cabo. I stayed there two years ago at a nice quiet hotel at the mouth of Cabo San Lucas Marina. The other place I was thinking of was Monterey, CA. I live in LA.

Any suggestions?

I think Prpixel's life is a mirror of mine, except he's smarter than me. I look forward to driving to work. How sick is that?

A'Gon is your homepage page? Now, that's hardcore, Distortion! I think you win.

Rx8man, I been trying to get Marco in here but I think he's busy tearing his house apart. His wife and dog are temporarily living on the roof. Maybe they were influenced by the Cool Worlds theme this past weekend on the Science Channel and are trying their own Snowball Earth experiment.

Slappy, I think I'm gonna do Puerto Vallarta during Labor Day Weekend. I love Mexico and Latin women, so I gottsta go! Isn't the Rocky Mountain Oyster Fest going on this week?

Eldartford, this IS useful time! Heheh.

Bigkidz, Sean's trick is that he spends the entire day researching his notes from his post grad days, typing the answers up, then he just pasts them into the four or five threads he needs to respond to. So technically he's only in here a few minutes, but he spends 72.504% of an average day dedicated to helping us A'GoNers out of our messes.

Muzikat, speaking of deals. I can remember you and I did a transaction earlier this year. For the life of me I can't remember what it was for, but I do remember you were one cool cat.

"...to hold a stick in my right hand and row the gears.." Sounds like you're a car man Prpixel! What was the ride that made you enjoy heel-toeing and speed-shifting so much? The car I enjoy driving these days is a '99 M3. Not the fastest car out there, but plenty fun and smooth as silk. Been roaring down the shores and canyon carving since I put in the Bilsteins and Eibachs a few weeks ago.

Rx8man. I guess it's no secret what you drive, heheh. Enjoying them suicide doors? :•)

Yeah, as much time as I spend here, Ellery makes me look like a timid, non-posting lurker. How are the operas going?! I can see it now...Cecilia Bartolli singing nude in the warm night of a New Mexico desert.

Yeah, that's right, Doug...we're woooorkingg.

Prpixel, all I have to say is DAMN!!!!! 11 tickets in 5 days! A friend of mine got ticketed on vacation in near Whistler a couple weeks ago. The cop told him he could pay the ticket once he returned to the US or he could just blow it off and wait two years before returning to Canada, because by then the ticket and the warranty for his arrest would be wiped from his record.

I live in Los Angeles and have thought many times of driving up the coast so I could attend one of Skip Barber's one or two-day driving clinics at Laguna Seca. The only thing that worries me is on the drive back I may think I'm Racer X and drive my car off one those beautiful cliffs on Highway One. I almost did that in 1986. I spun out and wound up backwards in the middle of the road. Hopefully, an older and wiser[?] Green-man will realize that those driving schools will also make me a safer driver, one that will react correctly in emergency situations.

I can definitely believe the CRX was that much fun. Small and light make a VERY fun drive. The only thing I've experienced close to that was my '96 Integra GSR. I had H&R springs in that and it felt like a go-kart in comparison to my then new in '99 M3.

A lot of fine cars you've owned and driven. The only one from that list I've driven is the NSX. I love that car. It was like a 168mph Accord. Easy to drive and a great high speed cruiser. I did drive one of those 493HP SL55 AMGs last summer on a blind date. I meet the gal at a resturant and she jumps out and says she wants me to drive because she hates driving. And she owns a $150,000 car? All that power and all those creature comforts made for a very isolated and numb feeling car. Not fun.

Czapp, I can dig it. My coworkers recognize the yellow glow from my monitor that suddenly flashes to a different color when I hear approaching foot steps, heheh. Concealing an audio addiction ain't so bad, at least we're not hiding 47 jars of dried barf in our closets like some of those young gals that suffer from bulimia. Yuck!

Yeah, but if you got smothered by some dental assistant bossom, it was well worth it. "Ged dad tib ouba ma fasth!"
