get yourself a Hemi

I'd get the Hemi.... The only problem is there is not a single "modern" Hemi vehicle with a Manual Transmission. I'm not wanting an auto-stick type transmission and prefer a good ole' fashioned clutch pedal.

I guess that's an age thing, when you hit a certain age you realize that having to shift all the time is a real pain.

one of the guys in my car club races his 300M he hooked a laptop up to his car, to see what the optimum shift points are,,, when you put it in autostick, the computer will actually shift at the critical point if you don't to prevent tranny damage..the computer is so precise that you can't manually shift better than the computer does in automatic

the other awesome thing about the Modern Hemis is the multi displacement engines, nothing like shutting off cylinders at highway cruising speed to conserve gas

or grey for the guys, hot pink for the wenches...umm I mean princesses

If you really want the shirts to be noticeable put the graphic on the *back* too! This was really useful for our family marathon weekend shirts!

I guess that's an age thing, when you hit a certain age you realize that having to shift all the time is a real pain.

Part of it may be age.... but a large part of it is boredom. As in, I discovered years ago that when I drive a stick I tend to be MUCH more alert when driving and aware of not only my surroundings, but how fast I'm going, the road, the car, etc..

With an automatic it's too easy to fall into a routine where you zone out, where with a manual it's not really possible.

And as someone who can have a lead foot (Honestly, PA roads have done more to slow my *** down than anything else in my life. Between the 2 lane interstates w/ blind ramps onto the highway and no merge lane, and the general crappy road conditions, It's just not safe to drive fast), it's much too easy to get up to fast speeds in an auto without realizing it. With A manual you always have an idea how fast you are going thanks to knowing exactly which gear you are in.

....and there is just something nice about the tactile feedback in a actual stick instead of an autostick or paddle setup.


But........ admittedly... I don't deal with a lot of stop and go traffic on my daily commute. While I don't mind stop and go traffic much with a stick (I'm from Atlanta afterall... so I'm used to it), I will admit that an automatic can be a HUGE advantage in that kind of traffic.

There are other cars with the variable displacement tech. Who knows... if I get an M3, I think they have the same thing.


dammit.... now I want a new(er) car now. I don't want to have to wait....


you know... I wonder if I'm just an addict. Now that my Disney trip has passed, I'm not eager to spend money on it anymore.... so I'm finding myself wanting to spend the money on another big ticket item. maybe as I get closer to my next Florida trip this urge will go back to the Disney target.

get yourself a Hemi

why not let people pick their own color shirt, they'll all have the same graphic

or grey for the guys, hot pink for the wenches...umm I mean princesses

I think pink for girls and grey for guys sounds good! And I'll go for the tank top, too. Way more comfortable in the heat and faster drying for those afternoon rainshowers.

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Ok bright pink shirt would definitely get you noticed..

Yeah, red and green are complementary colors so they stand out really well. Purple and yellow or blue and orange would work, too.

why stand in line.. a refillable mug and a water fountain work just fine

tell me about it, I started out planning on repainting my hood and getting new graphics for it, one email fro Alsa Paints, and I switched to painting the entire car with chameleon paint...

I just designed the logo, and will supply it to anyone interested, they can do their shirts however they want, if I do one it will be on the back of a white dress shirt..LOL

1. It seems greedy to move down to Florida so you can be closer. So therefor it can't be greedy to only plan 2 trips in 6 weeks.
2. If it does seem greedy, so what? What's the point in being an adult if you can't occasionally be greedy and have some fun?
and it takes a LOT for me to get tired of someone. I doubt you could manage it in the span of a couple Disney trips.
I've been waiting closer to 3 months for the pictures/vids since their existance was first revealed.

I like the way you think. Very persuasive... And I'm pretty sure we'll be fine. You'll probably find my particular brand of crazy more entertaining than anything else.

Geez, now you're just getting lazy...

 

[MICKEY88]

Geez, now you're just getting lazy...

I respectfully disagree, lazy would be waiting for mother nature or a water ride, to do the job,

whereas I am being pro-active, and making sure that the shirts receive the proper water testing.

 

[MICKEY88]

true, but they don't have Hemis..

 

[DCTooTall]

Would that be a mug from this year, or previous years? Can you really use a mug from previous years?

tell me about it, I started out planning on repainting my hood and getting new graphics for it, one email fro Alsa Paints, and I switched to painting the entire car with chameleon paint...

But then how will anybody ever see your car? Wouldn't you be worried about people not being able to see the car in traffic or parked and accidently hitting it?

Would it be a Puffy white shirt?

I'm all for convincing people to get more Disney time.

:

oc course you can use the mug, you just can't get it refilled

I drive so fast that people can't hit me if they try,, just think, it would be great if the cops woulcn't see your car

ummm no puffy shirts for this Pyrate, unless a Beautiful wench is wearing them

Hey all!

Just popping in to say hello. I had a great weekend. I found lots of time to relax on Saturday. Sunday I went down to Captiva. Normally after a beach day I go home, eat, and crash. This time was different, I went home and decided it was time to start organizing and getting some projects done. I finished the wall border in my kitchen, did the vinyl lettering above the plasma in the living room, and I repaired the couch.

Yesterday, I got home from work, took the new puppy to PetSmart and Petco to pick out a harness and taste test the treats and finished the evening with a family dinner out at a favorite restaurant.

Life certainly isn't perfect, but it's not so bad all of the time, either.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Hello all! I've been waiting for three days now for these booty shaking pictures and I'm still waiting!!



That could work, if they got wet enough.



Friends, as in friendly drunken companions!! Not the kind of friend who'll tell me when I've had too much! JR's with carousing and raucous singing sounds good!

Well dear, you know you can count on me. I will be sure to have plenty of non-motherly types hanging with us. Lol
