Finally, a common sense policy. Pay by the pound! ... You and your luggage get on the scale, and then out comes the price. Slide your Visa or MasterCard and done. You want to bring 4 bags? Go for it! 1 bag? No problem! If the bean counters are running amok now... I say just go all out and do it. Charge by total poundage.

AirTran fights back: ...but at the end of the day... airlines that try to compete with Southwest only seek their own destruction. 37 consecutive years of profitability.

Buy it for 46K. Don't put a dime into it. Turn it into a rent house. And we're done.

no...yes...no...yes... tow trucks... HPD... Place seems like too much trouble, to even bother.

Ruggles. The place you see down the street, after you're done eating at Baba Yega's. "Glad I didn't go there - looks like a parking nightmare" ... 12 years in Houston... never been, still have no desire to go.

2010 may be the last Saab ever made. Good riddance to a pathetic, European car maker. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/gm-totals-saab-2009-12-18 Destruction derby GM scraps once-proud Saab Several top government officials rushed to Trollhattan, home of Saab since its inception in the 1930s, to assure factory workers, suppliers and the community at large that all is not lost, though it's far from clear to anybody right now what can be saved. Hey Sweeden! Screwballs! Why don't you buy Saab, yourselves?! Because nobody wants it. Not even anyone in Sweeden.

It's amazing how we play God with mother nature. Beaver? OK. Nutria: Kill it. Poor nutrias. All they are trying to do is make it in this world, like all of us... and here we are, trying to annihilate their entire existence. I wonder what the conversation is like around the diner table in a family of nutrias: "Boy, it sucks being us... "

Our family bought one of these new - the 1989 model. It had a 150 hp Mitsubishi (I thought, but not apparently) V-6. And it was decent. 7/70 warranty. This was the "Last Rambler." AMC bought/partnered with Renault on the design of the car, taking design ques from Volvo (headrests/body style)... and then Chrysler bought AMC... and then rebranded the "AMC Premiere" as the "Eagle Premiere" in 1987/88. It was built in Ontario at fairly advanced factory - for the day. It was the last car AMC attempted to put its name on. The car had what was called "ground switching" electronics. Most electrical systems always have the ground/neutral connected at all times - and switch the hot (on and off). In the Eagle Premiere... the hot side of the circuit was always connected... it was the ground side that switched on and off. Backwards. Needless to say, we had issues with the electrical, as well as the transmission. And one time.. at a red light the car would not move forward. I had to push it through the intersection.... and then drive it home in reverse (on side streets) for that last mile to the house. I never drove it again. I saw an ad once: "For sale. 1988 Eagle Premiere. $2000 worth of repairs. Asking $2001 OBO." Our family should have bought the Maxima. But Chrysler cut us a deal that was just too good to refuse...

Even style-wise. It's just the same old junk, different decade.

Incredible. It still has 4 wheels, 4 doors, engine up front. Like every sedan ever created.

That is where Austin excels over Houston... I thought all we were allowed were a bunch of illegal taco trucks. But according to some, it is apparently legal to have street food vendors in this city... who routinely get clean water from a taco truck commissary every 24 hrs...

BryanS Yep. I'm sure every taco truck in this city is doing that. BRYANS

I think she deserves more than that.

What kind of life? Nothing says Montrose like a "Smoothie King" ... or a Bagel shop... What a waste.
