    Profanity in different languages on the trading floor

    Worked with a Ukranian guy. His english wasn't that great, but he knew every english curse word I ever heard....and more.

    OK, I will take the dog for sure. What kind of watch? :)RS

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Flexible. I know this is a vague answer (still more specific than any answer you ever gave on a personal issue), but since I lease cars, the actual cost of a car becomes, pretty much irrelevant. Example....when I got my Saab, the list price of the Saab (as equipped) was identical to the...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Dotslash, this is probably the most logical post you have ever made (IMHO) :) What you say makes a lot of sense. Or at least it is logical. Knowing how car manufacturers think is another thing that may come into play. But giving them the benefit of the doubt, then yes, a car like the Camaro...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    I literally bumbed into him in a ski shop in Aspen. It was the late 70's. Maybe he has shrunk (most of us do by that age), but at the time he seemed very tall to me. And I am a bit over 6 feet. Vulture,,,,you getting ready for our FFL draft? Scouting out the summer camps? Peace, :)RS

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    I KNEW you and I thought alike...(except for politics). Great Idea. I should get a pick up truck just to annoy my neighbors (but the covenants won't permit it). Maybe a Pinto or even better, an AMC Gremlin just for the "parking effect". There are so many Porsches in my development, even...

    Your broadband speed?

    1118/89 what kind of connections are you guys using with such high upload speeds? My download speed varies depending on time of day, but this seems about average for me. But I never get big numbers on my uploads (don't know how important that is for me). Using Adelphia cable. Peace...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Well, I never would have been going that fast in an SUV...so the accident probably never would have occured. Great post though. I will definitely check out some of those used C-4s Thanks, :)RS

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Yeah, they probably had me in mind when they designed it. But they also probably thought a guy my age would be finished supporting 3 kids:( The Corvettes I had were a used '70 that was just not a smart purchase for me at the time...impulsive. It had been driven too hard. The new one I had was...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Vulture... This is a more complicated issue than you seem to present it to be. First of all, dealerships almost always make more money on a used car than on a new car. With a used car, you have no real assurance of what is or is not wrong with the car. An extended warrantee is a very...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Nice... would your wife let you drive it?? :) Totally disagree with this....A nice car is just that. Maybe someone that buys an expensive car to get noticed is trying to "prop up their self esteem", but someone who just wants a car because it is fun to drive, and/or a quality vehicle...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Mid engine cars are few and far between. The MR2 is one, but from what I hear very underpowered. And very small. (I need a LOT more leg room than Paul Newman or Dudley Moore...if Clint Eastwood drove a Mini, he must have sat in the back seat and had the front seat removed...I met him...he is...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Thought they stopped making Camaros and Firebirds. Or are about to. Besides, for that kind of car, at least the Mustang is constantly updated. The Camaro/Firebird has not changed in about 300 years. (Or it seems like it...but really, not since the 60's). But they always have looked nice...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Been around for years Nitro. Just not the H2...gotta go with the Big Boy. If you are gonna get a Hummer, why get a "compact" version? You already have your BMW 3 series....time to go BIG!!! Isn't it you that says "Gotta do size!!!"? Peace, :)RS

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    I also live in S. Florida. And yes, I have thought about the Fx45, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for me. First off, it comes standard with (and you pay for) AWD, which is not a necessesity in Florida. The FX35 does come with 2WD, (and a less powerful engine) and seems to make a bit...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    Great Car...Dealerships don't seem to have any in stock to even test drive. I have driven my friends G35 sedan, and it is really nice. But I do prefer a coupe. I don't see how you can compare the 3000 GT to the G35. To me they are very dissimilar. Except for the VR4, the 3000GT is a front...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    :confused: OK Surf, I guess you must just be busting my balls.I said I just turned in a Saab and a Lexus wagon. And up both cars come on your "wouldn't be caught dead in" and "most hated cars lists". I thought the Saab was a lot of fun to drive, and I thought the Lexus was the best made car...

    Help me buy a new car (and what about cars and gender?)

    I have had two Corvettes. Nothing but problems with them. On paper, a lot of car for the money, but not if you take reliability and quality into consideration. They both rattled from day one (which I could understand in the convertible, but not the coupe). I didn't keep either one of them very...

    Apparently you are writing this from a far off land and being helped by a translator. Come to America and find out how far from the truth this statement is. Peace, RS
