me - 'nice mini van pops'
VB - 'it s not a mini van, it s a MPV'
me - 'MPV, WTF is an MPV'
VB - 'multi purpose vehicle'
me - 'sorry, thats a mini van son'

either way, enjoy the new car smell, it doesn t last long enough...

That thing looks pretty cool. I have never really looked at them before.

We just bought an Element. We are super stoked on it. It was the first time I ever bought something "brand new". Pretty cool feeling....

HAHA! me too! You can totally tell when one is truly a bike rider when they use 'bullit' instead of the proper 'bullet'!

Nice car...Is this the first year they've been out? You should get the Husky Liners for it...they are thick rubber mats that cove up on the sides about 2 inches or so...my carpet in my jeep is like new because of those things...I take it snowboarding and riding all the time and track a bunch of mud and snow in it, and they just rinse clean. An essential for an SUV that is used for intended purposes!

Sportworks freeride dh rack kicks ass...
I thought about the bullit vs. bullet thing when I saw it posted in the lounge...it's funny how I have made the switch in spelling 2nd hand.

I too am loving the sportworks rack and can't wait to talk to T-Blazer about my purchase :D
