- Dec 07 06 12:22Saw it in an advertisement, but thats about it PC. Ill mention it to the missy and possibly go for a boo. I will admit though, Im partial to toyotas.
LOL on the gas mileage, I agree that its murder on a bigger vehicle. I rebuilt the 5.7L in my GMC when gas was cheap, and cause I use it for towing my ski boat and car trailer, I built it for performance. So.. now gas is high, and on a 120 Litre tank I get around 300 km to a tank. But heres the hard to understand part, on the freeway when Im towing something, I get around 650 to a tank???

- Dec 06 06 11:50Have you had a look at the Matrix, Russ? It too is wicked on gas, packs around almost as much as my truck, full back seat, if you need it, or fold flat if you don't. I LOVE this car. I think it's the most functional vehicle I've ever had. (well, except for the Explorer, which was murder on gas, and road like a tinny old truck)

- Dec 06 06 10:13Really? My best friend, his wife, and their little rugrat with a stoller fit in theirs? Its a 2003/4 Echo.

- Dec 06 06 10:07The Yaris is an Echo? No way. Didn't realized that. I like the Echo. Small and compact, seats high but not very pratical for a family that needs to dump a stroller in the back.

We'll see...
What kinda car is she looking for? I personally want that Lexus model that parellel parks itself since I suck at parallel parking. WE are talking about a Toyota Yaris (new name for an echo). I have a few friends with them and they are wicked on gas, reliable, and seat four with a decent trunk. She wants a small car thats an auto.

Diamonds? Ooh. Nope. No way. Do me a favour. Google "diamonds Sierra Leone" before you have anyone buy you a diamond.

- Dec 06 06 09:44Lol, and a diamond Ring... I hope my gf doesnt sign up here, you will be a bad influence on her.
We are starting to talk about a car for her. She doesnt like any of the two vehicles I have. Ones too big for her and on the other its far too tall and its stick.

- Dec 06 06 09:40 Except for a brief six-month period in a small house, Trollina and I have always had two separate bathrooms and two bedrooms as well. Hers is always the larger one, and functions as the "togetherness place", and mine functions as the place where I keep my clothing and other things.

- Dec 06 06 09:38I think that traditionally, and especially in asian cultures, women were taught and told to hold the money and finances. My mom told me about "governing" his money. I for sure disagree. I think that whoever is good with finances, ie. paying the bills, then that person (be it the wife/husband) can go online and pay the bills. In my relationship, that will most likely be me as my guy dislikes paperwork and can't remember all when bills comes due. I would only give him troubles if he freely spent "our" money. If he went and brought this $700 game thingee machine and I know that finances are tight, then he would be in great trouble. Other than that, I think that it comes down to trust. We have trust in oneanother that we won't go splurging and that we communicate with each other what we plan to buy, either for ourselves, for each other, or for the kids. I think this works.

- Dec 06 06 09:06 House account - all things to live jointly. House, cars, food, insurance...........etc
His account - to spend without justification, guilt or explanation.
Her account - to spend without justification, guilt or explanation. [FONT size=2](and shoes) [/FONT]
[/DIV]
Yup, that's what will be happenning.
My b/f and I will be opening up a joint account early next year so that we could start saving for our wedding and honeymoon. Yeah, it sucks when it's us adults who have to fork out the money and our parents can't/won't help us. I'm not relying on my mom for sure. Oh well, time to save.
Hmmm, I wonder if that banking philosophy works in the bedroom.
HIS bedroom - to have his own toilet in there, to do what he pleases without guilt
HER bedroom - to have and do whatever she pleases without guilt or justification, where secrets could be kept and no one could ever find them
OUR bedroom - you know, to share everything: body, mind and souls.
HA HA HA!
And of course, you guys know that I'm kidding right? [FONT size=1]well, maybe not...[/FONT]
