First, the good news.........NATO bombed the factory. Thank you NATO.

Now, the bad news.........They rebuilt it.

People not clear on the concept. If you drive something like the 2000, side airbags are among the least of your worries. The handling increases your chances of avoiding a crash. Providing you learn how to drive it.

Do you know why Yugo's had rear window defrosters?

To keep your hands warm while you pushed it to the mechanic's.

DJJSR · 07-01-2008, 09:25 PM

Doc, you're doing stand up now? Hmmmmmm...........don't quit your day job.

philiam · 07-01-2008, 10:48 PM

Doc kneads his audience.

J'sS2K · 07-01-2008, 11:01 PM

The Zap Xebra looks very similar to the Prius.

js1 · 07-02-2008, 10:13 AM

My coworker just bought a Zap Xebra. It looks just like the one on the link. I rode in it and it is like a golf cart, a very poorly made golf cart. It is cool that they don't have to pay for gas though. They also get a special rate from PG&E for the plug they had to put in to power it up.

I was answering in the form of a question, ala Jeopardy! (tibia or not tibia)

bbcricketta · 07-04-2008, 05:05 PM

wouldn't that have been, "sciatica or not sciatica, that is the question."

what is that excruciating pain that runs from your hamstring through your buttock into the middle of your spine?

my apologies to alex trebek.
