      Hey Mustafa, this is getting ridiculous... I grew up in a Ford family and have always preferred Fords. Although since Ford wasn't too common in Israel when we moved here ('85), we ended up buying a Peugeot. Since then we've had a series of Peugeots or Citroens (same company). If I was in the States though, I'd probably buy a Ford.

        Picked up my sister and her friend Jaynee (honestly, who calls their daughter that?) from the airport coming back from San Francisco. This is Jaynee's first time out of California. It gets annoying as hell talking to her after saying "hello". I feel sorry for my mom and dad because she's staying with them for the next 2 weeks :doh:

            I think it is because moon and tune rhyme. I still call it a sun roof.

                    I believe that Pontiac had a "sun and fun" package that was similar on their cars. Might have been Chrysler. I can't remember because we shopped too many dealers when we were looking for our current cars:)

                          Mine's more entertaining! For instance, just last week this guy got onto the train painted solid gold... Skin, clothes, everything... The costume looked kind of like the Johnny Depp version of Willy Wonka (But again, all painted gold)... Just got on the train with all of us rush hour commuters, didn't make a sound, didn't perform or anything... Rest of us are exchanging glances... He got off a few stops later... I was the first one to speak... "Only in New York..."

                              You guys don't have books in Jordan? :) I kid, I kid... It's online anyway... Can get it as a PDF if you don't want to deal with shipping... Not quite the same as having a physical copy, of course.

                                  They do, but the selection is no where near what I'd like it to be. More's the pity because I splurge on books.

                                  amazon, no matter what they say, ship to Jordan with an insane mark up. I don't buy from them anymore.

                                    amazon, no matter what they say, ship to Jordan with an insane mark up. I don't buy from them anymore.

                                    The link in my sig has links to Amazon, B&N, and to my publisher. It really is an amazing feeling, holding the first printed copy in your hands... One of two truly happy memories I have now... I'm sure there were more good memories at one point, but if I've forgotten them, they couldn't have been that great. The nice thing is that nowadays, you don't have to sell your soul (Metaphorically speaking) to a huge corporation to get published anymore... Can go the print-on-demand route, invest a bit, and keep control. Oh, and if you have a major bookstore near you, can probably get them to special order it... There are online retailers in the UK, India, China, and Australia (That I know of) listing it, so I know it's accessible. Just need the ISBN on my site (978-1-60145-801-8). Now I just need to make as much money as I can from wall street, retire early, and start writing full-time... After a full day at the office, I can rarely manage more than 2-3 pages... Was writing 10-15 a day when I got laid off last year.

                                        My wife and I were strictly foreign car buyers, with her driving only Subaru and me with Nissan and Toyota. About 18 months ago we decided to give our American car manufacturers another chance. I purchased a Chevrolet Malibu. A couple months later she purchased a new Ford Fusion. I must say we have been pleasantly surprised. Both of cars drive really nicely and neither one has had a single issue. My wife, really likes the look of her Fusion with the spoiler. And she loves the moon roof (she got the moon and tune package). I bought the Malibu mostly because of the cool LED lights in the cabin that make interior look neat at night. Anyway, both cars have been great to own and we're both very satisfied despite our initial reservations about buy American cars. I have no idea why I'm sharing this on code project.

                                        Those are Canadian and Mexican cars. Toyota makes American cars, though.

                                          When exactly did a "sun roof" become a "moon roof"? Honestly, what's the point of that kind of name change? "Sun roof" just rolls off the tongue so nicely...

                                          Because everyone knows letting the sun in during the summer will turn your car into an oven. The moon isn't hot and doesn't have that problem. :rolleyes:
