my god. I would kill myself in that car in a week. Now if we got a Volvo with that much horsepower....

well, wait, I'd still get myself killed in it with that many horses...I'd just give me a month instead of a week ;)

oh yum! yep, i'd take that over the viper, backseats come in handy.

I don't like that it doesnt have standard though. Course, I'd never be able to afford this beast anyway, so who cares lol

Parents sometimes know best... :wink:

Why on earth would you want a dog? Sure they're good companions but you have to walk them every day; twice a day if they don't have a dog run. You have to work them into every detail of your social life. No spontaneous "sleepovers" and that sort of thing. You'll never go out for drinks with the gang after work because you have to go home and walk the dog. How do you take off to 'Vegas for a weekend? Going camping? You like picking up warm squishy things with Safeway bags that might have holes in them?

Don't get me wrong. I love dogs. Dogs love me. Always have. I just can't imagine having to plan our lives around the dog. Two of our good friends have dogs. That's plenty for me...

Listen to your parents dear. Once you have a family, start thinking about a dog.

I've had dogs my whole life, our last one was pretty much my dog. We had a dog run I still ended up taking her out a couple times a day....she slept with me and she would not settle unless she got her midnight run...which worked good for me cause it got my ass in shape! As far as spontanious sleepovers and random trips to vegas...well, its not like I do much of that anyway. And random camping trips? dog comes with! ;)

To be honest, come on, I don't have that great a social life, why do you think I insist on so many "volvo club" gatherings?

I completely miss the companionship of having a dog, and the security as well. Hate to say it but bein a chick livin alone keeps gettin scarier and scarier in this town, and face it, people are less likely to mess with a chick with a fair-sized dog (even if the dog is a total sook!)

heres a pic of my dog, she is a pain in the neck sometimes but i still like having her around. taking care of a dog by yourself is not an easy task especially a larger dog. if you are in an apartment its cruel to have a big dog since they dont have enough space to run around freely Image

aww what a sweetheart. And i'm moving to a bigger place....two bedroom basement suite...so...basement of a house...basement of a bungalow, its actually pretty spacious....and i get full run of the backyard, just have to gate it off.

I would never even dream of having a dog in this place to keep for any extended period of time. I mean, I had Misha (my friend's dog, shep x) for the weekend once...she was alright but I wouldn't want to have her for longer than that!

And I am aware of the responsibilities involved in having a bigger dog. I'll have to post up pictures of Lexi, my last dog. Yes, I still lived at home when I had primary care of her, but still. She was essentially my dog. I would be the one walking her, training her, grooming her (and she shed like a mofo!) feeding her, etc.

Either way. I'm one of those silly people who is not complete unless she has a dog in her life.

And for those who think I should "start my family" before I get a dog...pssht. no. I don't see me "starting a family" anytime soon. I confess, I'm a bit of a pain in the ass. I can't see some poor bastard puttin up with me on that level anytime soon. Dogs ARE family, if that makes any sense.

Either way, i cant remember hwo to post pics again...so oops. I've got pics of her on my facebook, and on my myspace as well i believe.... www.myspace.com/pro_star

Here's the true owner of my car...she loves to hang out in the garage (never while welding of course) and if I'm working on her car, she snoozes in the back. My wife refers to this behaviour as "supervising"
