Foolin' around on amazon.com again...

[seldomawake]

So it occurs to me that all the money I'm thinking of spending on cars would be so much better spent at amazon.com...

Twenty minutes of perusing, and I've already got $87 worth of a wishlist.

Where in Virginia?

Williamsburg, VA...near y'all?

[plastictao]

Williamsburg is about 2, maybe 2 and a half hours away from us, by our estimation. Not a terrible distance, especially when you consider we're all used to GA driving distances! (everyone around here thinks driving 45 minutes to an hour to get to somebody else's house to hang out is excessive)

hahaha

this is why you fail.

Ass-nugget :)

I write pre-ANSI C for work. I'm allowed to dabble in C# if I want.

Every second of every day spent playing video games is not worth ten minutes in a Porsche Boxster S. So nyah.

Re: hahaha

[threv]

what kind of silly logic is that?
the hell do you get from a porsche boxster s that is so much better than a game?

oh boy i get to waste asstons of money to use a car that immediately shows what a flaming douche i am. bonus - i also get to not go nearly as fast as the car could go due to my living in the fucking city!

brilliant analysis, khaaaaaaan

You're right. I'd much rather go out and waste my life in front of a TV pressing buttons. I digs me some flashing lights, man. Hours and hours, spent hunched in front of a TV, pretending I'm saving the world from aliens or rescuing princesses from castles. mmm.

I suppose that does make sense. I mean, after all, the alternative is only going out, driving in the sun to an autocross course, practicing your driving until you get _really_ good at it, getting discounts on your insurance, meeting new people at the track, hanging out with friends... you're right. Mario is a better bet. How could I not see that?

I'm going to go buy an Xbox right now! And then, spend more money on games, and then spend lots of time playing those games, in my little house, so I can waste away those long, tedious hours! Who needs all that time, anyway?

Yeah. Video games. That's where it's at, man.
