Yep. I heard the same.

It's a mind control device. Al Gore whispering in your ear as you talk on the phone. Next thing you know, you'll be wearing Birkenstocks, eating organically grown produce and driving a Prius, rainbow sticker on the bumper and all.

The end is nigh.

Oh crap...I just stumbled upon what seems to be a good deal on a Mercedes AMG CL55, a gas-guzzling 500hp supercar.

I suppose if you don't have your foot in it, which will be hard not to do with 500 ponies on tap.

I'd like to, and might, but I have to weigh out if the price I could get it for outweighs some apparent potential for problems and consequently expensive repairs to the ABC electro-hydraulic active suspension.

I see you have been to boulder colorado.

Going out dressed up is a sweatshirt, shorts, and birkenstocks. A lot of mid age retired dead heads there too.

Actually, a pretty cool college town - VERY progressive.
