It's a 2 year lease. They're gonna dump it at a loss first minute the lease expires. It had what she wanted for the price and in the end a 'we settled for it' vehicle.

As I stated in my other thread Ford treats all their cars like golden calfs. It's annoying.

500/mo for a decently equipped (leather, sync..) Taurus. And I thought Camaros were bad.

I already have a friend of mine here in NY drinking for me too while he and his girlfriend are at a bar watching the Yankees get there a**es kicked by Texas...they are losing 5-0 at the bottom of the 4th inning...

I'm actually flipping back and forth between the NASCAR Nationwide Series race and the Yankees game...
Lets go Rangers! I hate the Yankees. Way too many band-wagon fans. Pick a team, (preferably the home team) and stick with 'em.

I have always been a National League fan too...a lifelong Mets fan, thanks to my parents...

See, that's yet another thing we have in common, sweetie!!!...

The only reason I was flipping back and forth between the race and the game was because of my friend Charlie...we were texting back and forth, and he was 'yelling at me' because I didn't have the game on...lol...

But, I do cheer for any NY team when MY team isn't in contention, regardless of the sport...but usually I dislike the Yankees...thanks for supporting me when you believed I was their fan...
Ok good because I really didn't want to root for them.

Agreed. I follow the Indians off and on due to the 'lets not spend money to win something worthwhile' mindset of the owners. Never anything else.

Browns I just lost total interest after they got sold to Baltimore. The current team I don't see as anything but an attempt at making a buck.

The Cavs.. well sorta the same; but at least they can perform and have the financial backing to play. Unfortunately, James was just a whore.. even though for a while I had hoped otherwise.

After your parents talked about how they didn't want a small car, they went out and got a Milan? LOLWUT?

I'm a Cincinatti Reds and Bengals fan. I follow the Colts as well since Peyton is from UT due to my step-mom being from Tenn. I hate the NBA so I have no team to root for there.

Yeah. Imagine my surprise when I opened the garage door to that. I love their excuse too..

"The bare bones Taurus wasn't as good a deal as the Milan"

..Yet you said you didn't want a car and wanted a 2011 Explorer. Then said you wanted a Taurus and nothing small like a Fusion.

Now you have a Milan. Not even 24 hours in and she's already complaining about the lack of passing power in the Milan just as she did with the Edge.

I wouldn't say this to their face but damn near insulated the following at dinner: "Congratulations.. You're both idiots."

I know the commandment 'Honor thy mother and thy father' but seriously, there has to be a loophole somewhere for this..

Waiting for the 'These seats suck.' quip to come out in a week..

I have always liked the Cincinnati Reds, all the way back to the days of Johnny Bench...( a hundred yrs ago...lol...)
My Dad once took me to a Jets game vs the Cincinatti Bengals and the Jets won...it was probably before you were born, Nick...
Not much into basketball either...hockey's ok...like the Islanders...
Racing is MY SPORT, because of my Dad...he took us to local short tracks all the time when we were kids and he always followed NASCAR and INDY Racing...
Now, because of the Camaro's return to racing, I love the Grand-Am Racing Series too...

My dad got me into the Reds cause he was a fan back when they were the Big Red Machine with Bench, Perez and Rose. I don't like hockey at all and can't get into NASCAR. There is nothing exciting to me in watching cars make left turns for 3+ hours. I'll usually tune into the last 5-10 laps and see what's going on if it's at Dover, Indy or Talladega.

YES it is very cold, and very windy here in the NE...we had a huge Nor'easter yesterday which brought in a cold front and heavy winds today...it's only 50 for the daytime high, and in the 40s at night... :(

Those were the days when I followed the Reds...with the Big Red Machine...that is when I was really into baseball too...I remember when the Mets won the 1969 (before you were born ) World Series...most of the games were in the daytime back then and we were allowed to bring our transistor radios to school to listen to the game...it was sooooo exciting...The Miracle Mets...how exciting that was...I actually found my old 1969 Mets poster in my dad's attic when we were cleaning out his house this summer...

I still love NASCAR, even though my own sons don't even like it...that's because of my Dad, you know...

We didn't get the AC's out yet so the 30 something air outside is sneaking in....

I could use about 10 more blankets, a snow suit, some thermal undies and a space heater....
