- As long as they never lose, they'll be fine. - David Jan 26, 17:50 2
  - i know, and they were kind of going for it too.....nm - x Jan 26, 17:52 1

So the Juke is out, the Rogue is still possible, and a story: - Reagen Jan 26, 17:41 19
- I knew the Juke wouldn't work for a family. There's basically no back seat. Did you try driving it anyway? -- nm - Dano Jan 26, 17:54 1
  - there was no point. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 17:56
- I don't get how they seem to think people will just waltz in and say, "oh I don't know, how about the blue one." -- nm - Max Jan 26, 17:53
- I think there are about four points where I would've just walked out and written the rogue off (or at least the dealership). I'm petty like that. -- nm - mafic Jan 26, 17:52 1
  - and that's certainly a possibility, to ditch that dealer - Reagen Jan 26, 17:57
- poor Buddy, living in the pre-internet dark days. - b. Jan 26, 17:50 3
  - And why is the first question always "what color do you want?" And the guy who thought the on-board first aid kit was a huge selling point :) -- nm - Meg Jan 26, 17:54 1
    - exactly re: color! if they pull that, it's my entree to "please stop" etc. -- nm - b. Jan 26, 18:05
  - (edmonds = edmunds.) -- nm - b. Jan 26, 17:51
- as someone also with two kids: get a van. They have friends and they all need to go places. We got a Rav when they were young and - Beaker Jan 26, 17:50 2

  - negatory on that, Ghost Rider. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 17:51

- This is exactly why we negotiate through email and texts. -- nm - David Jan 26, 17:46 3
  - But you have to test drive first. Took me a year to even find a car to test drive...I wanted 4-wheel drive and nobody had one. - Meg Jan 26, 17:50
  - and really I'd like to as well, but there's always the "do I actually fit" factor I have to think about. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 17:50 1
    - My point is that once you've found some acceptable cars, that's the way you should talk shop. -- nm - David Jan 26, 17:52

Because Poland isn't scared of cold or snow, Lot Polish Airlines just landed a flight at JFK. The problem... - ty97 Jan 26, 17:35 2
- remind me. is JFK or Laguardia the airport whose runway ends in the river? -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 26, 17:42 1
  - if it gets cold enough, longer runway! -- nm - mafic Jan 26, 17:44

I don't want to click at work (or maybe ever), but "new carl's jr super bowl ad may be their most risque ever" -- so, what, almost actual nudity?-- nm - b. Jan 26, 17:20 3
- I just can't bring myself to eat there any more...and I loved their Santa Fe Chicken sandwich :( - Meg Jan 26, 17:27

    - the same thing we do every night Pinky. Go to each War memorial, and pay our respects. -- nm - the Brain Jan 26, 17:10
Wow, they're going to show the title match and the Rumble. - Tim Jan 26, 16:32 10
- So to the stupid people who paid 50 or 60 bucks...here's a freebie. - Will Hunting Jan 26, 17:07 1
  - PPV's are still getting in the realm of 50-150k buys...people is dumb. -- nm - Tim Jan 26, 17:10
- Something called the El Rey Network will be showing their Lucha Underground show tonight too. - Tim Jan 26, 16:41 3
  - I'm really enjoying Ring of Honor in syndication. - David Jan 26, 16:42 2
    - Good to know. - Tim Jan 26, 16:46 1
      - I will say that I liked the swerve at the end of the Zayn match. - David Jan 26, 16:56

  - 2. They have a great happy hour and it's one of the oldest LA restaurants -- nm - con_carne Jan 26, 16:37 1
    - Woot! Roger More in LA has to happen some day. -- nm - Roger More Jan 26, 16:44
- LYC obligatory: 10/26 - con_carne Jan 26, 16:28 5
  - I'm surprised Trader Vics was not on the list -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 26, 16:29 4
    - The real Trader Vic's is gone. The one at the Beverly Hilton now doesn't have the fun tiki room atmosphere. -- nm - jnine Jan 26, 17:14
    - Miceli's -- nm - con_carne Jan 26, 16:41 1
      - yup. good food. I went there a few times -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 26, 16:43

WWE is actually really lucky there won't be a live show tonight. -- nm - Tim Jan 26, 16:07 46
- yep. Next week is Denver -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:12 27
  - They should give Bryan the belt at a house show between now and then. -- nm - David Jan 26, 16:13 26
    - Like Lesnar is at house shows. - Will Hunting Jan 26, 16:17 24
      - DId you hear that Jericho is back but only doing house shows? - Tim Jan 26, 16:20 1
        
        yeah. He had an opening in his schedule. But didn't want a lame story to be involved with on tv. -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:21
      - My suspicion is that he has a CM Punk clause. - David Jan 26, 16:17 21
        
        I think it's clear he holds it until WrestleMania. - Tim Jan 26, 16:21 9
        
        As of this moment... - David Jan 26, 16:22 8
        
        Hopefully they listened to the focus group last night and saw the twitter trends... - Remlik Jan 26, 16:25 3
        
        So it's a carbon copy of last year. - Tim Jan 26, 16:26 2
        
        well....I'm sure that's what Vince thought with Bryan...."fans had it once, no need to do it again." -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:28 1
        
        Once they're sure he won't break again, he needs to be all "I was never beaten." -- nm - Tim Jan 26, 16:29
        
        They need to shoehorn Rollins or Bryan into it somehow. - Tim Jan 26, 16:25 3
        
        They pushed Rollins too much. It hasn't worked. -- nm - David Jan 26, 16:32 2
        
        He's the best heel they have (that's intentionally a heel, not like Roman Reigns). -- nm - Tim Jan 26, 16:36 1
        
        It comes so much more naturally to Bray Wyatt and Rusev. - David Jan 26, 16:37
        
        His deal is up at Wrestlemania; so that's it... But now that's squandered for a guy who clearly ain't ready. - Will Hunting Jan 26, 16:20 10
        
        It's wrestling. If they find the hostility is too great they can always find a way to change it. Triple threat, loses a match for his title shot, - pmb Jan 26, 16:24
        
        They're negotiating with Lesnar so who knows...but Reigns (and I feel bad for him) isn't ready at all. He lost all heat he had when he got injured - Remlik Jan 26, 16:22 8
        
        It is amazing how Reigns lost all that heat in such a short period of time. But agreed, he's not ready. -- nm - pmb Jan 26, 16:26 3
        
        When The Shield turned face, he was awesome. But when they broke up, he got horribly exposed as just three moves with no promo ability. - Tim Jan 26, 16:40 2
        
        So, the same number as Cena? - David Jan 26, 16:42 1
        
        I love the screencaps of Reigns with the Rock and the Rock's face is all - Tim Jan 26, 16:48
        
        IMO, their only decent bet after Bryan is Dean Ambrose as a Stone Cold tweener. - David Jan 26, 16:23 3
        
        They got plenty of talent; just no concept how to use it. - Will Hunting Jan 26, 16:26 1
        
        yeah Bray and Rusev (who I think they are using right) are not quite ready for the title yet. Put Bray in the hunt for it after WM sure...but not now -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:27
        
        yeah he'd be a solid choice. He'd be fun -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:24
    - something.... -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:14
- I just said this to Kelly. Fifteen thousand snow trapped angry people. - Will Hunting Jan 26, 16:09 2

- Was it going to be in Philly? -- nm - David Jan 26, 16:09 14
  - Hartford (and tomorrow's cancelled Smackdown taping was in Boston. They get around quickly.) -- nm - Tim Jan 26, 16:10 7
    - (I always say that if you look past the fact that it's wrestling, their logistics are ridiculously impressive.) -- nm - Tim Jan 26, 16:16 2
      - Their production value is what has allowed them to win over the past 20 years.. -- nm - David Jan 26, 16:17 1
        
        Yup, their production team is also second to none. -- nm - Tim Jan 26, 16:18
    - So, is it going to be a call-in show now or what? -- nm - David Jan 26, 16:11 3
      - They're calling it a studio show from WWE headquarters in Stamford. No idea what they're going to do or who will be on. - Tim Jan 26, 16:13 1
        
        Go for the gusto...replay only the rumble match and Brock beating Undertaker last year. Let's see how committed - Will Hunting Jan 26, 16:22
      - not sure. preshow starts in a few -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:13
  - Connecticut. But no ones happy. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 26, 16:10 5
    - I want to link every single post I see about what a stupid decision this was and how upset people are. They were going to announce the Network sub #'s - Tim Jan 26, 16:14 4
      - We canceled this morning. - David Jan 26, 16:15 3
        
        you're gonna sign up for the WM? for one month? -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:29 2
        
        Probably not. I don't love WM the way that you guys do. -- nm - David Jan 26, 16:32 1
        
        fair enough -- nm - Remlik Jan 26, 16:34
Three months still to my next trip...I'm getting cabin fever.... - Meg Jan 26, 16:06
Besides, the Hawks have a natural advantage over all other NBA teams. - David Jan 26, 16:06 1
- Just remember, even though they didn't win anything, woolen like the 2007 Suns a lot more - Will Hunting Jan 26, 16:13
Schools closed. Professional sports canceled. Broadway shows canceled. Driving prohibited. Public transit shut down. Wall Street: OPEN Tuesday -- nm - ty97 Jan 26, 16:03 5

- money never sleeps -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 26, 16:11
- it's not like they expect full everything/everyone, though. this has good trivia - the last time the nyse was closed for a full day due to snow? -- (link) - b. Jan 26, 16:08
- Look at the bright side. A well-located disaster could improve society immensely. -- nm - David Jan 26, 16:05

  - Oops, I just saw your post. That sucks. They always had the obscure stuff. -- nm - jnine Jan 26, 17:16 1
    - I saw Gregory Hines there once browsing for movies -- nm - con_carne Jan 26, 17:47
- Cool, thanks -- nm - con_carne Jan 26, 16:12 1
