The Mercedes 3 Series are nice. Problem is, the Princess has her son here and I am not too keen on kids (teenagers) climbing in and out of my vehicle. I do like a few of the new "muscle" cars. I am a horsepower fan. Maybe I will go that route? |

probably not, since the distances are different, north americans drive further and have less public transport options, so probably spend more on gas. being more car reliant and spending so much time in the car makes the requirements different.

come to calgary, our drivers are worse, and we have lots of snow. I found driving in vegas decent, the best place I have driven was southern california. havent driven in most states, but that one is good. montana is nice, hard to judge the drivers though, you can go an hour at 95 mph and not see a car in either direction

Just a quick drop-in to say that I am sorry to have not had the annual countdown with all of you but wish one and all a very Merry New Year! <===Haaaa! Eddie Murphy, "Trading Places!" Gotta love it.
Off to ride a big boat to grab that tequila with Sammy on Monday where I'll certainly have no internet as I am a cheapskate! Hey, Sammy shows up I gotta buy the round, right?! I believe that is the rule.
Much metal love and all the best for 2009, my friends. |

I think we should vote. It's Birmingham Walk of Stars. The first one being honoured was Ozzy Osbourne, and Tony Iommi has his star too (among others of course).

You never left the hearts of the Metal Family!
LOL I'm 44 years old and still sit at the "kids table" during big family gatherings. Still alot of older folk than me about and besides, I'm pretty sure the kids are giving me better conversation about music and concerts and college life. At least I don't have to hear the recounts of the lastest bout of stomach flu or something even more mundane. LOL
