      is that all? I just traded my civic for a hilander hybrid for my wife, and I inherited her camry. just wait until she graduates from GF to spouse, the value goes up. ;P lets see... then there is the house, landscaping... new rock walls... 52" high speed high color big screen LCD, blu-ray/hd-dvd combo (when the war was still going -- which now comes in handy, we're picking up the junked hd-dvd disks for a fraction of DVD costs even!)

          Computers generally don't get curious and seek older/newer models out. You can upgrade computers much faster than girlfriends without risking retro-virus attacks from the previous model(s). Upgrades to new models should be done carefully, and cautiously.

              Yeah :) I get about 450km on 65 liters, mostly just town driving. It has a very fine engine, 160kw and tonnes of torque. It's huge too, we actually fit the TV on the back seat ;P (had to remove the box in the end, was ever so slightly too big, and no fold down seats).

              Whoa! :omg: I wouldn't like to have that here with the way things are at the moment (sky rocketing expenses and seemingly decreasing income :(( ) My Mom has the E200, same year. They're brilliant cars. Sadly, I can't afford one... yet ;)

                    42" LCD some local brand (apparently uses LG parts), but it carries a 5 year guarantee compared to any thing else thats 1 year standard. Picture quality was no different to the other brands. That said the tires were almost the same price :(

                    I'm quite interested in that. Local brand you say, and 5 year warranty. Do they do HD as well, 'cos I'd rather buy a smaller screen, but go for HD for when DSTV goes HD.
