i'm an adrenalin junkie so if you put me in a car a generally push it as hard as i can

i would be a very happy person as a racing driver, but i'm not all irresponsible - i'm curteous enough to drive decently when other people are in the car. its one thing to be a maniac on an empty road by myself, its another all together to do it with someone else in the car. and i never ever ever drive drunk, not even remotely - no alcohol shall pass these lips if i have car keys in my hand!

i get a thrill out of scaring the shite outta my passengers:wink:
but i never drive with alcohol in my system.

:D i love my rep here in lincoln city for driving.
makes people move when they see my coming. poor karmicpostmark and duchessof new york got a teeny little taste of my driving in portland.

Great Story, would love to get an Mp3 of your wonderful performance. :applaud: Would love even more to swipe that video :wink:

Glad you're back :yes: And could you con a pair of Ipods, so I can cancel my order? (Someone who would buy you 1 Ipod, would surely buy you two :macdevil: if you asked nice enough)

i would love to even know what i SOUNDED like! :lol: i was so scared of being up there i dont even remember what i did!

i wish i could con an iPod for you:hug: but Im pressing my luck here already. the person just happens to be my dad, lol.
i was one of those daughters who never asked for anything growing up, and now that i am i feel like every once in a while i can ask for something really good. after my bravery in getting up and singing in front of people he feels like lavishing gifts on me :shrug:
who knew it was that easy?
he bought me a really cool fedora too:D i look like i need a tommy gun and a shoulder holster
 
my sisters first car was a little escort. it was made the same year i was.
that thing was a reall piecer. not that i can talk though......
I have a hot rod in the driveway that doesnt move. I took the engine out of it and am waiting to put the new one in. i got new seats for it and lots of other stuff. someday that thing will be stylin. for now it looks like a piece of semi rusty metal that has been seriously neglected.
but i cant look any cooler than when im all bent over inside the engine, all greasy, with a socket wrench and a scowl on my face
:lol:
yeah right
my poor nova is never going to be happy
 
**Walks into the bar humming an old 'Roxette' song**

Hello there... :flirt:

I think I'll have... :hmm: ... Yeah, let me try a 'Black velvet'! :D



Saw the car on the previous page... Nice! :yes::up: It isn't a Maserati, but it'll do... :sexywink:

starsforu2 said:
I got a question... Do you all have cars, or do you have motorbikes, or do you take public transportation over there?

No car, no motorbike, no scooter - Bike... Swedish bike, actually... :reject:

**If LB hear that... :shifty:**

That's awesome. :applaud: I thought you had scammed some guy to buy you an Ipod. :no: It's sweet that your Dad is going to get it for you. If it were just some Dude, then I wouldn't mind having you con him into wasting his money on me. :wink: But since it's your Dad, don't worry about it.

Need pictures of the Fedora. Soon. :D

Hello darling! :sexywink: Are you done for the night?

>>> Rummages under the counter and finds Some Black Velvet <<<

I have a love / hate relationship with that car. In August, I drove up to Columbus, OH (Are you listening Starsgoblue?) when a sparkplug shot out of my engine. The repairs? $3500. I had to leave my car in Columbus for 10 days while I went back home. Since then, I put in an additional $400 for new breaks and I still have another repair to get done because it's running rough.

But, when it runs smooth, it corners beautifully and accelerates well. It can be a pretty fun car. I'd like to have a 350 Z though :drool:

>>> Pours a sweet shot for Merc and hands her the glass <<<

I'm going to leave the LB comment alone...

You see, that is why I'm glad I don't have a car :wink: ... To be honest though - a car is impossible to pay overhere when you're a student... and it's 100 times more easy to get around town here on a bike, than in a car...

(Leans over the desk and whispers to Tim) ... and on top of that - I don't have a drivers licence... yet... :reject: :shrug:

:eyebrow: Excuse me... do you call that a 'Black Velvet'?! Well, whatever - as long as the alcohol% is high enough... I'll drink just about anything! :sexywink:

BTW, where is LB...

**Looks around the bar**

Sorry, tired :yawn: up too early this morning.

>>> Pulls a pair of champagne flutes from above the bar <<<

I'll join you. I've been tense all day.

*Toasts* To the Octagon, fast friends and U2! Cheers! :D

No license huh, I guess I know who's driving if you came over to the states. :wink:

You're fun :hug: Great Car, have you ever sat in one? And how does someone love a car when they don't drive? I'm not trying to make fun of you at all :no: but car's are most fun when they are driven fast!!!! Then again, maybe a fast ride is fun too. I prefer being in control... of the car. Vroom!

:sigh: Unfortunately, no... but I have been very close to one once... :drool:



starsforu2 said:

The design!!! :yes:

Look at that Maserati - it's looks so cool... and there have been thought of even the smallest details in such a car! I like that...

... and then the dream of actually driving one someday... Mmm... :drool:

But no "I voted" stickers :(

LB - good luck with the apartment- I had a problem like that in the droms as well _ we move to three rooms in the space of two months:mad: no fun at all
 
Lemonboy said:

So, you voted and you got smarter. Not mutually exclusive are they :wink:

How does a Black Velvet for a Brunette Sound?

>>> Pours stout in an elegant champagne flute <<<
>>> delicately tops it off with our finest champagne <<<

Congratulations on voting for the first time! And I'm sure that you look stunning! :whispers: :shifty: I actually prefer brunettes. They make my head turn faster. While the majority of the men are running after the blondes, I find a much shorter line of men to deal with when talking to the brunettes. :yes:

Later! Won't be back till after most of you all's bedtimes.

LB, keep us informed about your accomodation problem.

Merc, it's not to say that I only like Brunettes, you gals are way :cute: too!

Were you driving (unlicensed driver) or was someone else? Do you have a weakness for dangerous men, or danger period? :hmm:

Someone else was driving... We had to get home from the other end of the country on a sunday... He drives very fast, always has, but usually he has it under contol... So we were driving on the high way... Him, me and a couple with a baby was in the car... The baby loves to play with keys, and was getting quite restless, so I said to the driver, as a joke (he knew it was a joke, 'cause we always say stupid things to eachother) "Hey, why don't you give x [the baby] your keys to play with?" And all of a sudden he takes his car keys out of the car...

I seriously saw my life passing by and was convinced that I was going to die in a car accident... :sigh:

That is one of the reasons why I don't like driving fast...

It could have gone so terribly wrong... It's a few years ago, so I don't think that much about it anymore...

... but driving fast? :no:

Yes it says domething about the US doesn't it?
I plan on ordering some take-out (soemthing that will compliment a nice white wine) and watching the news media slowly loose control - remember to switch over at 10 for the daily show - that will probably be the most informative (and by that time I hope to be at least a wee bit tipsy)

I have test driven the BMW with the ipod attachment -sooooo cool
