we have a widespread severe thunderstorm alert.

Im not counting on it though, rain forecast keeps backing up (said it would start in 60 min, now 90 min, etc)

Over an inch of rain in San Diego in an hour, with a wind gust of 54 mph. Crazy!

Some cool looking clouds from a nearby thunderstorm this evening. Most of the action stayed south of where I was at.

Wow, hard to believe! The average rainfall for San Diego in September is just 0.15 in.

Those cars are ugly but not big. First one was a Lexus, so not so bad..... They seat 4 uncomfortably, maybe you can cram a fifth child in there.

Bigger is better.... Applies to vehicles too.... Like what I drive






Who the hell wants to drive around in a car/truck that looks like something your 4 year old plays with anyways...

Depends what you use it for. If you have a family a bigger car is fine, if you are one person I prefer something that is more efficient. Bigger isn't always better LOL.

Anyway, "gas" costs the equivalent of $10 a gallon here, so I like a car that can still get me 270 miles in 3.8 hours (as I measured it) on "cramped british roads" doing 60mpg average. So blah.

I prefer high gas mileage cars. No need for a gas guzzler for me.

Yeah our roads are bigger, and since I don't live in the city anymore, parking is not an issue.... As for gas mileage mine is a guzzler. However, I don't live more than 5 minutes from my work, and we only drive into the city a couple time a week now. So not too bad. I drove this thing all the way to Destin Florida a few years ago. I'm sure in the future, they will make big cars and trucks that will be more fuel efficient and still look good and have some balls on them too .

Actually they already do. If I could have afforded this truck I would have bought it...
