[GadgetGav]

Winding Road is very well produced. It looks like a professional print mag, but it's a free pdf.

When Ian finally joins the iPod generation, he doesn't mess around! It probably helps that he gets an occasional mention every now and then, too.

I hate these stupid chain emails, but this one brought me a few chuckles.

Amen to all of those, NoNo...we must be able to come up with some more!

Sounds like bunk to me. It was 60º on December 16th! I don't believe the hype.

[NoNo]

I like the one about doing 80 and getting passed. I don't understand the one about the jumper cables, though. Why wouldn't a woman know how to use those?

[blalor]

You're not like most women. Actually, I'd say that goes for most of the women in the MINI community.

[NoNo]

Is that a good thing?

[blalor]

Yep, especially if you like a woman who knows the difference between a carburetor and a clutch!

Laurie really did change my tires for me (once). She knows how to do oil changes too.

My favorite was in college, when I had my Integra, three of my guy friends were in the car and I got a flat. The three of them stood there and watched me change the tire. Chivalry is dead.

It's not dead, you're just not looking in the right places. That and you need to find some new friends!
