hahahahaha jitterjepp. He wants to be your friend! You could have some good bargaining power here!

jitterjepp iz guud minnesOta fowlk. I like to provoke him to get everyone riled up on that site. He does a good job! Billygoat, nice theory. Do you really think I would work for the "other" side? C'mon now!

It wasn't about Minnesota. Great state. Why I was in Duluth and Cass Lake last fall. But old Chaps has his knickers all bunched up. It was fun pulling them up a little tighter. I knew that!

Ya! Stop making fun of Minnesota (th e land where we KNOW how to pronunciate words!)

Chaps- (Im going to say this in a nice minnesotan way)....Lighten up!!!!!

are all pnw'ers banned from minnesotaclimbing.com?

naw, I dont really know any of them.

hahahaha! I about spewed my beer out of my nose and fell off my chair when I read this post. For more humor, please read any other post on the site. *note: this in no way reflects the majority of MN climbers

yup, that it is- toyota corolla. Names all over the engine and other various parts of its "guts". GM bought a bunch of corollas to sell under their name to get people into their showrooms. They were built along with toyota corollas at a shared factory in cali. Basically corollas were made, then the occassional car was sent down a different path to have a different back end, tires, and paint job done (all a little "cheaper" than corollas). A lot of people passed up the geos because getting features in them (ie/air, cd, power windows, etc) cost more than the corolla "packages". I think I should have paid 500 less, but I couldnt for the life of me get they guy to go down and he WOULD have sold it an hour later. Its in mint condition for a 95 - looks new like an 05,77k, black, no power windows or locks, just a tape player. I cant wait to see what kind of gas mileage I get outta it. I will let you know.

whatcha tryin to say dru? I bought a clown car? pfffttt!

well I bought it!!!! Wooohooo! I think its going to treat me well!

I know someone out there who knows the answer to the question! Dont be shy, do share! I didnt know until today. I didnt believe it and spent a good portion of my day online researching it and calling random repair shops, dealers, friends, etc. I put money down to hold the car. I will decide by friday if I want to purchase it! Woooohooo!

who really made geo prizms?

That has saved me so many times!!!!!

Its time to replace my old beater with a newer beater. Ive been researching, but curious about others opinions on certain cars. Im looking for something yr 2000 or newer with 50-70kmiles, depending on what kind of car it is. No more than $6k. I drive a lot for work so I need good mileage. I dont need lots of frills. Heck right now my car has no heat, windshield washer doesnt work, plexiglass for one of my windows, no air, just a am/fm radio, etc. What are your thoughts on cavaliers (I own an 89 right now at 127k miles)-Ive liked mine for what it is and its been reliable w/decent gass mileage. saturns - I hear either really good or really bad things about them. I like the no rust idea with the plastic vs metal. Great mileage. I dont see high mileage on them. Throw away cars? hyundai - new cars have great warranties. Cant get a new one. I havent seen many with high miles. Are they throw awya cars? Ford focus-my opinion is similar to the saturns on these cars. Tho I havent heard good or bad about them. Ive been digging hard to find a toyota or honda. I would be willing to go to an earlier year and a bit higher mileage on one of those. They still seem to be out of my price range. any other suggestions?

the weather has cleared up and its beautiful down here. finally quit drinking and started to do some climbing...well, that is until today. Climbed braille book yesterday in near perfect weather. Kurt says it was fun. Getting kicked out of camp4 tomorrow. Gonna bivyy under the boulders. more flooding possible due to warm weather, but the rock should stay dry. suckers for not coming down! k and c
