GM's thread about nothing (43 Viewers)

[shuke]

asked the wife if she had heard of these books. she said no. told her apparently it's driving the ladies wild around america.. maybe she should check it out.she said "sounds like some kinda bull#### to me"

 

[shuke]

Since we're speaking freely, I have a question for the manscapers - How do you know where to stop? I've kinda got a Chewbacca thing going, so I feel like I need to just go until I'm bald from head to toe.Also, I may have been drinking margaritas on the back porch this evening.

Just don't shave your balls clean. You will regret for the rest of your life.

 

[Marvin]

are we really to believe that this book turns housewives into porn stars over night?

really??

wives who have sex quarterly are suddenly offering up quickies at church?

It's for real. Trust us.

Well I figured out the problem...I'll let the Bad Luck Brian meme explain it to you

 

[shuke]

I am so pissed. We had a neighborhood party tonight, and I came back at one point to refill the cooler. Tried to do a video of me shotgunning, but the first two takes got screwed up, I wasn't in the frame. So my thrid try was pretty epic, lots of good shtick thrown in about 50 shades of grey, session beers, an F-off to Furley, and some other stuff. Then I failed miserablly trying to shotgun that third beer and couldn't finish it. Went to upload but it must have been too large of a file. Sorry.

Shuke should make a video about the greatness of the video.

[Osaurus]

I don't live in a church. The tiled alcove is the smaller (~ 3x4) of the two we have in our house. This one is in the hallway at the entrance to the Master. The other alcove is ginormous and I have no idea what to do with it yet, but something will be done at some point. This was basically a test. First time tiling vertically for me.

i'd like to hear from some of the ladies of the FFA who have read thisi'm not a chick so clearly i don't understand the effect.. how can women, who have presumably read their fair shares of romance lit in the past (or why would this be on the radar?) and not been stripping their clothes off randomly, suddenly be willing to pull out all the stops after reading about some 60 year old guy beating up a teenager?

i know girls like their guy to be a bit rough around the edges and like to be treated like girls even if they say they don't.. but... reading about rape and physical abuse is universally winding clocks?

Haven't read it; don't intend to.

It would be an insult to your intelligence for sure.

[cosjobs]

I'm looking for a car for the wife. Probably just a basic sedan: Altima, Camry, Mazda 6, Hyundai Optima. We test drove them all today. Am I crazy or is the Hyundai actually the best of the lot? I have never done anything but turn my nose up at Hyundais and certainly never test drove one. Its 2-3K more than the Mazda and 4-6K less than the Camry and Altima. I really want to say under 19K and the Mazda is the only one that does that.

On the other hand, I am looking at a used Genesis coupe or Mustang convertible. Something about fast, rear wheel drives that excites me.

I am kind of overwhelmed with all the new models and pricing and stuff. I've only bought trucks and SUVs for the last decade.

Anyone familiar with any of the aforementioned?

 

[kevzilla]

I drove most of those cars before buying the Nissan Altima. It was the most comfortable, hands-down. And I get 27.5 MPG, mostly in commutes. The Mazda will drive circles around it, but it is considerably smaller inside. Probably not a problem for normal humans. The Kia Optima (identical mechanically to the Hyundai Sonata) is more stylish, and the turbo version will give you all the scream-sports you can handle.

The best overall is probably the Sonata. Rode in one recently, and it was nice.

 

[Samuel L Bronkowitz]

My parents have now been married for 45 years and 1 day. The running joke that my dad always said was that whoever filed for divorce first got stuck with the kids (4 of us)so they stayed together. Now they love when we all come back to the house for an afternoon of food, beer and conversation (normally every summer Sunday)

It was unseasonably warm in Milwaukee today so we had some homemade brats and cooked out on the deck. My dad commented on how great it is that us kids are all happy and successful in our own ways. We enjoyed some 30 year old bourbon and reminisced about some very good times growing up.

You can't buy this kind of contentedness.

Did you drive the Kia Optima or the Hyundai Sonata? I have the Sonata and love it, great car. Love the warranty on it as well.

That's pretty ####### cool.I'm sure my parents wish they could have special evenings like that. There are also four of us. The only thing that really stands between the bentleys and those moments is the fact that my three sisters haven't all been out of the house at the same time ever. Except for a few months when the youngest one was in the joint.

We looked at the Mazda 6, Kia Optima, and Hyundai Sonata to replace my wife's Altima coupe since we needed a four door. The Altima coupe was a fantastic car, but just too small. I loved the gearless transmission and acceleration. We definitely would have kept it otherwise.The Optima was junky to me. Maybe other trims are better, but the four sedan felt cheap and had no spirit to it. I hated the suspension about as much as the lack of acceleration.The Hyundai is a very nice car. It rides smooth, but it felt underpowered to me. I like a car in this range to have some torque, and I felt like this lacked it. It's a very comfortable ride, and the value is off the charts. Hyundai shouldn't be looked at as a notch below any longer. They are right there with these guys, or better.I loved the 6 the moment we left the lot. Lots of pep and excellent handling. It felt a lot like the Altima coupe. We've had it over a year now and no issues. Gets great mileage and is a lot of fun to drive.My advice would be either the Sonata or 6. The 6 is a sportier ride and the Sonata a little more comfy. You can't go wrong with either. If I had driven the Altima sedan, I'm sure that would be in the mix too. The coupe is excellent for sure.

 

[Tecumseh]

I've got an older Sonata, with 160k miles, and it still runs perfectly. I drive approx 35k miles per year, and the only things I've had to do are normal maintenance.

The only thing about the new Sonatas that bothers me is the lack of a V6 option.

Tell me more about these bentley sisters. They sound like trouble.

I have a meeting this afternoon with a financial adviser... well, really, an agent from a life insurance company.

Anyone have any experience here? I've been putting money into a 401(k) through my company, but they don't match or anything, so there's no incentive for me to keep funding that account over something else.

oh yeah, he's calling it "cash surrender value life insurance" and it's a form of "permanent life insurance"i'm just naturally distrustful of sales guys like this that are pretty pushy, but a couple other people at work have used this guy/their service and have been happy with him.i just know next to nothing about this stuff
