Re: 2008 F1 Podium Picker Challenge: French Grand Prix (Rd 8)

Ferrari should worry about fixing their "exhaust pipes" first before the next time their engine goes KABLAMO! Why should they even worry a bout it? I'm sure the FIA and Goose Steppin Max would just give them a free engine change pass anyway. :cry: Sad but true Aaron. I guess the "tif...

Re: Stock Market

My favorite stock, DWSN is getting jumped in the prison shower these past weeks. ROTLMAO!!! I guess this is a good time for me to rollover my 401(k) into an T-IRA. I've never seen the DJIA this low since I started following the market last year. So, we ordered the 335i Coupe today. ZPP/ZSP car. Whi...

Re: 2008 F1 Podium Picker Challenge: French Grand Prix (Rd 8)

Well said Aaron. Trulli is a nice driver and he never complains about the car. you put him in a BMW, Ferrari or Mercedes and he'd be on the podium more often. He reminds me of Valentino Rossi (MotoGP) when he was giving his interviews on the podium. And with their founder passing away (Ovie Andersen...

Cold Package, Sports Package, Gas Guzzler Tax, and some other "mods" but no dealer markup. This was off of the sticker tag. Also it was a convertible.
