Summed up nicely by Theodore Roosevelt.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Luckily I am not.Originally posted by doodab View PostI have no idea what gave you that idea. Did a cosmic ray hit your braincell?Originally posted by sasguru View PostPerhaps the fact that your previous post suggested that the brand of car one bought had some bearing on something.
Face it, you're just a wannabe fraudOriginally posted by doodab View PostWell, they are both boring old fartmobiles.
FWIW I haven't owned a car for years.
We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.
