are you ever scared you'll run out of gundam games to buy?

Yep. I'm getting close!

Would you let your wife wear a gundum suit and assault you with a strap on?

Now that I have GPS super powers, I will try to go to this south center place without hopefully getting raped in Renton. Hopefully magic GPS powers also means I will never get lost in Seattle and end up on Beacon Hill, which I don't think I had ever heard of before and I never want to hear of it again.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #7 on:** July 17, 2008, 02:10:44 PM »

Southcenter is in Tukwila, not Renton, so no raping.

You might get shot in the food court, though.

i smell an entry for Seattle's next homemade porn fest...

Since I work for a school district and I'd like to keep my job, I'm not allowed to take part in an entry for Hump!

When I briefly looked it up on the map, it seemed like it was right next to Renton. That's where I'm getting that from.

Wear a mask in it. It's cool and hip. Get a Clockwork Orange mask.

I was kinda hoping for a yes here, that would have made things super exciting/weird.

now there is a fine purchase. Patch up to the latest version (1.3) and go here:

Basic strategy, advanced strategy, then pick portugal or spain (and follow the strategy guides) and start having some fun to get the hang of the game. You don't have to finish your first game, but it'll get you used to paradox interactive gaming conventions.

i still haven't beaten my first game of that.

i love it

but it requires a severe chunk of my attention and thought, which i find hard to free up when i'm not at work

HEATED SEATS

Eric P · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2008, 07:51:19 PM »

i was just looking at that car

i am intrigued by the sync

perhaps if i find a job which i don't hate so much i'm afraid i'll just quit when i reach critical exasperation with it i will start to consider the purchasing of a new car.

Had to go forward with the plan a little earlier than expected, eh?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2008, 07:52:41 PM »

Sync is awesome, if you have a bluetooth phone you can dial up people by voice, and there's a hang up pick up button on the steering wheel. Voice also works for mp3 players I guess?

The interior lighting is lol, but it was in the one I wanted to go. I swear I have a 6CD changer but maybe not, cant find the feature listed on the site. I saw 6 discs on the digital readout tho.

Well, congrats. You win the buy war this week! I figured I had it in the bag with the GPS.

I don't get a new car until my 1992 Ford Escort POS blows up.

Yeah fuk ford haters, my first focus was a workhorse, all things considered.

Akala · « **Reply #30 on:** July 17, 2008, 11:10:33 PM »

Grats on the car MAF!

I'm actually in the market bad for a new car. My wife's died and we've been sharing one for the past few weeks. It's horrible. I was looking at the Foci, or Cobalts, or 3's. All I want is a work car that is under warranty, but every time I go I always gravitate towards 18k...which is really more than I need to be spending right now.

On the other hand, a dealership up the road has an '05 Audi TT Quattro for 12k, and I bet I could talk him down to 10 or so. My wife just really wants a 4-door 'baby ready' car for now, and I can get 'something fun' when I eventually upgrade. (LIES)

Car shopping sucks.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #31 on:** July 17, 2008, 11:14:30 PM »

Whats a good car alarm system. My car is the nicest one in my section of the parking lot. PARANOIA.

Truth be told they'd have to steal the whole thing as all the frills are built into the car.

The built in Sirius Radio = jawesome

Akala · « **Reply #32 on:** July 18, 2008, 12:07:55 AM »

No idea. There are a lot more than in the old days when there was just the commando and the viper lol.

I think everyone I know with an alarm is factory installed. Check prices from the place you got the car from.

Another route would be to do what an old friend of mine did. Get an LED strip and stick it on your dash as a deterrent.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #33 on:** July 18, 2008, 12:10:08 AM »

Yeah my 2000 focus had a useless blinking light lol

It should be ok long as I keep it empty, no one would try to rip the entire dash up lol
