Last week a kid and his dad checked my car out, seemed impressed, said they'd email back. Never did. THanks for wasting my time, guys.

Ha, you are in the wrong business if that upsets you. I used to flip cars for extra cash in high school and this is regular. If they don't offer you money on the spot they generally are not buying. Many just feel uncomfortable saying they aren't interested as they feel it might be offensive, so they are kind on their way out essentially by saying they are interested, but they usually are not.

Ha! Yeah, thankfully after this I'm done with car selling.

Now I'm getting email's saying "I'll give u 450" etc.

I'm just not ready to sell it for such a freakin low price.

Good, God! Is Mozzila seriously going out of their way to undermine their own flagship Web Browser!? I've updated to Mozzila Firefox version 6 and I've been having completely random crashes over nothing!

Chances are those are flippers. We offer a low price on a lot of cars, eventually one won't sell they call us back and say 'fine, we'll take $XXXXX'. It's a numbers game, flipping is risky though, sometimes you lose out. I did a couple times but overall I definitely made money.

Also, side note to our resident Canadian, SOUP: Sorry to hear the bad news about Jack Layton friend. Very sad news.

I think my Dick Gumshoe cosplay is pretty much finished at this point. Mostly just need to find some gel to use for the hair. In other news, my copy of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis I bought just came in the mail.

It's a really sad day in Canada today. Jack Layton died.

Not sure if you saw it but I offered my condolences good sir:

Truly a sad day for progressives.

@TaroYamada: Thanks sir.

The CBC's been full of tributes, and he's getting a state funeral on Saturday (pretty rare in Canada).
I actually met him in person a few years back when he was at a rally. The whole thing's really sad.

I've never eaten a horse:

I have eaten horse jerky. Does that count?

I have, in Japan, it was Basashii a delicacy from southern Japan, or rather raw horse neck. It was extremely delicious.

I hear it tastes like venison, and I love venison. I think eating deer is in my Minnesota blood. Wonder if Shadi eats deer...

[Autosaver]

Due to the fact I see a horse as a "friend", I think eating them is really weird.
Same with Cat/Dog meat.

I've never eaten deer, no. Sounds scary... xD

I could swear I ate dog in Bangkok. We went to an outdoor cook your own meat buffet and there were piles of mystery meat. Also 16 year old girls in skimpy clothes advertising Thai beer.
