I was just curious. No need for warpaint. Unless you go for that sort of thing.

I'm not sure who won. We won both matches on the 'cube. They won two of three on the xbox. In sheer numbers, we won. But, if you consider the fifth (and final) match the decider, they won.

So... that's one win each, right? Guess that goes into the books as a draw.

I wasn't aware that we needed to keep people updated on it. Maybe we should have taken it more seriously. Next time, face paint. (You boys are on notice.)

So, suppose you don't like a candidate for office (let's call him James R.). Or, you don't think he exists. In any case, you go to his campaign website and you notice an... oversight on the website. It's easily fixed, but slightly embarrassing. Would it be in bad taste to, say, not inform his campaign staff of the error and just make fun of it? Or, having dabbled in web design and desiring the same treatment in future cases of your own oversight, would it be better to take the high road and let them know?

Ah, let's do both. Here's the slightly embarrassing bit. I'll email them in the morning.

yeah aerio SX. in a lot of ways the Mazda 3 is probably a better (engineered) car, but the SX comes with lots of goodies (including a pretty solid soundsystem, all things considering how much it'll cost) that plus Automatic Mazda 3s have been sold out for like 6 months.
the aerio's it's not a super hot whip, but it's plenty more car than a basic Civic. and in the least it's made in japan

No worries Al, so which one did you get? I assumed you got the type S cause you were talking about it so adamantly, but my bad. As for the WRX, oh hell yeah I'd get my ass kicked so I wouldn't even try. Sure, I could have gotten a WRX, but then I'd have to invest in a hotplate and sleeping bag so I'd be able to live out of my car, and same goes for the beamer! Could have got a civic, but then I'd just be another typical asian guy driving his civic around (though in Medicine Hat I'd probably be the only asian guy driving a civic around...) and the civic had better be able to beat an altima in a corner, it is a smaller car after all. Regardless, like you said be happy with what you drive eh? you choose a car that suits your style, personality, and what you need. When I get a chance to come back up to Edmonton, I'd defintely like to take a look at your ride.

As a "family sedan" the Altima can still take on it's share of sports cars from 0-60, but that's not what I bought it for
MX-5: 7.0 seconds
Civic Si: 7.2 seconds
Infinity G35: 5.6 seconds

Oh and for the most part I do have a sports suspension, it's not super tight but it's pretty up there. At first it was kinda annoying but I got used to it quite quickly. and eric, is that the Swift you're looking at?

For real, real? Well it is a good everyday, just need to drive it car. You don't have a family to cart around, and you aren't using it to try to get some of your youth back by going fast. It's a very good car that stacks up pretty evenly with the cars in its class, Civic, Mazda 3, Corolla whatever. Only thing bad to say about it is that most people don't personally prefer it because it is a Suzuki. However as far as I'm concerned automobile companies are only concerned about making money off of us chumps. They don't really care what you want or have to have in a car, they just want you to buy a car, preferablly a new one. All auto companies are pretty much the same when it comes to reliability.
