[00:00]<ygsjgmyr>Bill Armalost.
[00:00]<cfnllzzy>I have yet to find an american car that's nice to drive.
[00:00]<ajc_z0>The trick is to find someone who doesn't know AIX, so they'll take the job
[00:00]<cfnllzzy>AJ_Z0, hahah
[00:00]<ggjmygmgz>haha
[00:00]<ggjmygmgz>nice
[00:00]<ggjmygmgz>well, we have aix assets. we need tru64
[00:01]<ygsjgmyr>kleppari: many of them drive very well. Most of them won't last beyond 60K miles.
[00:01]<prffjuv>well, they will with warranty
[00:01]<cfnllzzy>insomnia, well, I find the concept of suspension in american cars quite wrong
[00:01]<ygsjgmyr>fallout: bah. not likely.
[00:01]<ygsjgmyr>kleppari: just cultural differences.
[00:02]<cfnllzzy>perhaps
[00:02]<prffjuv>maintenance is key
[00:02]<ygsjgmyr>many people find the stiff suspension in my Subaru to be nearly unbearable.
[00:02]<prffjuv>all of my recent cars have had >80K miles
[00:02]<cfnllzzy>insomnia, impreza?
[00:02]<cfnllzzy>now, that's a properly designed suspension system.
[00:02]<ygsjgmyr>fallout: never had an American car that could stand up to my punishment other than a 1979 Jeep CJ7.
[00:02]<cfnllzzy>doesn't make the car bounce, doesn't make it roll....
[00:02]<prffjuv>mmm
[00:02]<ygsjgmyr>kleppari: 2000 2.5RS Impreza
[00:02]<prffjuv>you should've kept it
[00:03]<ygsjgmyr>fallout: Yes. Yes I should have.
[00:03]<cfnllzzy>what? they make it 2.5 litre?
[00:03]<ygsjgmyr>kleppari: they do. It's now called the Impreza i.
[00:03]<lnnzan>most american cars are designed to float down the road at low speeds like they are boats on a river.
[00:03]<lnnzan>while offering at least 3 jumbo cup holders for every possible occupant
[00:03]<ygsjgmyr>when I bought my Impreza, the WRX and STi were illegal here. Until Bush relaxed the emissions laws.
[00:04]<cfnllzzy>heh, a friend of mine has an sti, he goes through the trouble of changing exhaust systems each time the car's checked
[00:04]<lnnzan>huh? the WRX and STi meet california standards, which are stricter than the feds.
[00:04]<ygsjgmyr>They didn't in 2000.
[00:04]<lnnzan>then subaru cleaned them up.
[00:05]<cfnllzzy>i.e. putting in a system with catalyctic converters..
[00:05]<lnnzan>because california didn't lax their standards
[00:05]<cfnllzzy>it shouldn't be clean, it's a rally car, it should kill baby seals and eat kittens.
[00:05]<lnnzan>then it shouldn't have license plates on it, it should be trailered to the track.
[00:05]<mnfnwys>*club* baby seals. club.
[00:05]<ygsjgmyr>kleppari: US expressways are not rally routes.
[00:06]<cfnllzzy>insoNMia, doesn't change the fact that the impreza is a rally car :)
[00:06]<ygsjgmyr>true.
[00:06]<kdvvd>you know how people use the heart symbol in sentences on like bumper stickers
[00:06]<ygsjgmyr>and I absolutely adore mine.
[00:06]<kdvvd>things like I <heart> insomnia
[00:06]<ygsjgmyr><3
[00:06]<ygsjgmyr>that's supposedly a heart
[00:06]<kdvvd>I want them but with other suits from the deck of cards
[00:06]<kdvvd>so I can then have
[00:07]<kdvvd>I <club> baby seals
[00:07]<ygsjgmyr>you can't <3 me. I have enough crazy admirers as it is.
[00:07]<kdvvd>:p
[00:07]<ygsjgmyr>lol
[00:07]<xyfn_>hi kitty,

[00:08]<ygsjgmyr>niiiiice.

[00:08]<kdvvd>I ! insoNMia
[00:08]<kdvvd>:p
[00:08]<ygsjgmyr>lol
[00:08]<ajc_z0>That and booby cancer, but mostly war
[00:08]<kdvvd>insoNMia: incidentally, do all your admirers have as nice breasts as me :p
[00:08]<ygsjgmyr>kitty: some of them even have three.
[00:08]<rrmnsm>Kitty, no some just have a large club
[00:08]<ajc_z0>Killing people is move fun and profitable than loving them
[00:09]<kdvvd>AJC_Z0: tell that to a hooker!
[00:09]<ygsjgmyr>I wish I could bring Lucy to work with me.
[00:09]<ygsjgmyr>she'd terrorize this whole office.
[00:09]<kdvvd>lucy ?
[00:09]<rrmnsm>you mean between power naps
[00:09]<ygsjgmyr>my cat
[00:09]<kdvvd>aaah
[00:10]<ygsjgmyr>I think she's even won Tom over. lol
[00:10]<kdvvd>lol
[00:10]<ygsjgmyr>you just have to get used to her.
[00:10]<ajc_z0>What's the warmest piece of mission critical equipment? She could block the ventilation
[00:10]<ygsjgmyr>cuz she's really really annoying at first. :)
[00:10]<ajc_z0>just like...
[00:10]<ygsjgmyr>you!
[00:11]<cfnllzzy>insoNMia, have you tried the new impreza? the one with the flappy-paddle sequential gearbox?
[00:11]<ygsjgmyr>nope
[00:11]<kdvvd>ooh, sequential gears
[00:11]<ygsjgmyr>the next Subaru I hope to buy would be a Legacy wagon.
[00:12]<kdvvd>I wish I could afford a car
[00:12]<ygsjgmyr>I really like my sedan, but I want something a teensy bit bigger & with some cargo capacity.
[00:12]<ajc_z0>for you nine children
[00:12]<lnnzan>gads, the new 2006/7 subarus look like they have asshole planted on the grill.
[00:12]<ygsjgmyr>which is essentially what the Legacy wagon is.
[00:12]<lnnzan>the 05 legacy 2.5GT seems like the perfect subaru to me :D
[00:12]<ygsjgmyr>peerce: that's a vagina. lol
[00:12]<lnnzan>nah, the edsel had a vagina on it.
[00:13]<ggjmygmgz>i want my vw golf
[00:13]<lnnzan>hah. i'm currently driving a 87 volvo 240 (refrigerator white) when I'm not riding my bike (a 96 bmw r1100rs)
[00:14]<lnnzan>cars are just cages.
[00:14]<kdvvd>peerce: nice bike!
[00:14]<lnnzan>got 80k miles on the bike, and that old volvo has about 350000 on it cuz my wife used to commute in it.
[00:15]<ygsjgmyr>Without any prompting whatsoever, my 11-year-old daughter took one look at the new Subaru B9 Tribeca and said 'ew'. And there you have it. Scooby's first-ever SUV is an irredeemably gruesome beast whose design should have been aborted a femtosecond after conception. While Subaru would like to convince us that "ugly ass" and "dynamic styling" are synonymous, even a pre-teen knows that repulsive is not, and never will be, the new cool. In the race for SUV buye
