wesayso,
Front seat will not work in CA up to a certain age or lbs, so it'll a long way for the kid to wait. Well, maybe he will not like the loundness at all. Thanks for the pic.
berettafan,
Actually, I have a friend, very closed friend who doesn't have particular "hobby". He used to call me crazy about cars. He never have to spend the "non-sense" money into any of his car the way I had too. At some points, I "wish" I was borned the way he was so I can save some car's money and a lot of time. But if I switch now, my life will be borring as hell. I tried it before by having only an automatic, so that I couldn't do anything with it. But I was wrong. Soon after several months, I started to add exhaust, filter, chip, suspension, etc. At the end of the day, it drank gas like beer and still drived like an automatic.
Thanks god, now I still can have my hobby but a little limited compare to before. In the future, who knows.
ChrisBennet,
So far, I don't have to choose, yet. We are still doing ok. We talk about problems and solutions on almost anything. I try to lead my family this way since the begining because I believe if I want other to respect me, I have to respect the other party first. Sometimes I won't be successed but if I start the other way, of course I won't get the respectation for sure. I don't want to be a stubborn type of husband, who close his ears to make decision. I can't tell about my future but so far, my wife and I have not have to beg the other on anything. And hope that I can keep it that way.
SLO-BOB,
haha. At first, I didn't know what "putting the ball in a jar" means, I only have a sense base on the topic from many people. After read several responses, I knew. In our culture, yes. Back there, the man is still the "owner" in many families. Many people who know a little bit of the way american guys treat their women admire them. They think that is the better way to treat their women, not always, but likely. Most guys like us here in the US, the newer generataion, are not the "king" in the family anymore. To me, I think we both need to respect each other and consider each other opinion. Consider doesn't mean "do it". The decision is still on me, most of the times, but it need to be right and agreed by most. I don't want to be the stubborn type of husband even if I can. And for sure I don't want to marry a girl who can't speak up her opinions (the right meaning) either because she's affraid at her husband or she doesn't know anything to say. I am supprise after reading many responses on this thread.
I agree with you about "old car bad, new car good". Most women don't know about cars and they don't care. They tend to think old car means break down and new car is always better no mater what it is. And I also agree with you on the "danger" of Lexus. It's not just Lexus but also camry, MB, and all other quite/smooth automatic cars. There are several incidents that I have to drive them alone on a long distant (work), I was never be able to stay awake the whole trip.
1 question, you said 964 is trouble free? I know it's smoother and more modern (better Ac, smoother shifting, etc) than 911 but I have heard they have more trouble than 911 and cost lot more on maintenance and repair.
Wayne,
