Well, I told you. Up to you whether or not you want to believe me, but even if you don't, that doesn't make it less true.

We've only ever had one member leave because he got pissed and that was jdangles. You would have liked him.

And I'm pretty sure I didn't talk chit about dazes wanting to leave, I just pointed out an inconsistency in her reasoning. She's free to do whatever she wants. The last time she thought about leaving, I tried very hard to talk her out of it.

By the way, not to talk about the subject or anything Wink , but I tried to put my Prius into Neutral this morning while it was running and it wouldn't! I'll have to pull out the book to see if it is even possible. These are my only options:

Hmm. Most cars with automatic transmissions that I've driven can be slipped into neutral while cruising. That's weird that it won't let you.

I put my truck in neutral while driving when I am "hyper-miling"... I can get 20mpg if I am diligent about it Smile

I put my stick car in neutral all the time while cruising. Back when gas prices were real bad, I'd even turn it off altogether on hills and just cruise. Of course that was pretty dangerous since it cut the power steering and power brakes too.

I'm glad to see the legend lives on. It's nice to come in for the first time in a year, and see my name mentioned just two days ago! I must have made an impression. Wink

I'll be leaving now, but to clear my name, I left because of multiple unwarranted warnings from site owners. I guess some people are too sensitive. Anyways, I'll keep it soft and gentle, as to not hurt anyone's feelings, and say "hi" and "bye."

Ok...

Brantski, why are you censoring Phony on your blog?

You know... because I'm SURE that will get you an answer real quick...

What did you write that is being censored? Is it off topic, offensive, incoherent, or otherwise unsuitable for display?

I would like to encourage that you not answer phony, Brant. Just to see how irritated he gets.
