You Shall All Covet The New Addiction

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Dammit, whatever happened to that note to self to drop it?

this is clearly a honda but by our standards here its the Acura.
It is simply rebadged for u.s. sales because we care about such things.

I don't see the issue an Acura, Lexus and many more are luxury cars that generally have better quality interior and more features.

PCAD and soloist like to argue. Isn't that enough?

Hey let's not forget Toyota also makes Scion. So in some way is a Scion (xB, the box car; not the Kia with the hamsters in it tho) not just a Lexus?

Oh that's right, a Lexus doesn't have illuminated color changing cup holders.

I detect another PCAD worshiper, definition: (The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object).... Listen, the old man likes to dish it out and from what I've seen, he can take it. I'm sure your your defense, of the pink clad wonder, is heartfelt, but are you serious? .....Love, Whooosie face..

Yes, I am completely serious. I have e-mailed the pope on numerous occasions asking him questions and he has always taken the time to give me very thought out replies.

Just because you are jealous of him doesn't mean that others here can't appreciate the fact that he is just having a good time around here and realize how much of an assett he actually is to this site.

Save your Kj's for more important tasks than responding to Whoosh.

I like Pcad. He may be an idiot, but he is a helpful idiot, and he likes to buy bike schwagg. So he can't be all bad. He is wrong about this car thing, and Di2 is still stupid as well. I still like him though. Wooooshie pants, and DDF are starting to grow on me too.

I just had a detective tell my client, as he was arresting her, that he was giving her a break by charging her with two felony counts instead of one. His reasoning: now she'll be able to plead it down.

Curious.
