Yes, I did ask for a paper ballot. The lady at the poll asked me, "why paper, you are young, you should go with the new technology". I told her "I am sorry, but I am a computer programmer". She just laugh.

Grandma bought it for me for doing good in school (3.7 unweighted GPA). I always liked the look of the Lexus, but before I wanted a Supra - the insurance on this car is $6000 a year for 1 16 year old, so that was out of the question. The Lexus SC300 has the same engine as the N/A Supra, is a bit longer, is more comfortable, and has better interior. Of couse I'd rather have a Supra, but I'm very happy with my choice.

Having said that, i too will be anxiously waiting the results - moreso than when the Australian election was on last month.

Yes it would be cool if other countries could vote too, but that's life.....Having said that, if I could've voted for the Australian prime minister, I'd have voted that ***** Howard out of office.....
I blame Blair for taking us to Iraq anyway - Bush asked, and he said yes...duh
I don't fear Bush anyway - at least Dickwad Cheney never got into office....

Yeh. I didn't want my grandma spending her money on my car, she wanted to get me a new one for under $20k. I said that I'm only gonna get used because the 95s and below have OBDI

Less emission controls, easier to pass test, no extra electornics to fool sensors, etc

I got the car for $7200 w/tax. Hey, its better than getting some crappy honduh
