Doug, Dr. Mitten operated on Jen's wrist also, small world.
When she told me her doctor's name was doctor Mitten I thought she was joking
Wow, small world is right
When I go in on the 7th I be sure to mention all these contacts
How funny, when I heard his name I too got a good chuckle

My dad really wanted a CTS-V but my mom really didn't. They ended up with a CTS-4 I tried my best to convince my mom she would have more fun with 500+ horsepower, but she wasn't buying it.
Wow.
Congrats!
Honestly, I was having a conversation about this kind of thing yesterday with John
I totally respect the people who can come to the party with an open mind, as clearly your parents have
All too many brands have seemingly lost their way, and all sorts of other brands seem to be rising to the top
And, ironically enough Chris, my conversation with John was based upon Honda versus Ford, and how the CR-Z is a failure, the Focusis a total win, and if the Fiesta gets the EcoBoost, it will be mine, I will be walking away from Honda
Thanks for sharing, great looking ride

That Dr. Mitten sure gets around doesn't he. Must have a stellar reputation so should be in good scalpel hands.
I'm happy, very happy with how this is turning out...

Its funny to think that if 10-15 years ago someone told my mom, "You are going to give up your 7-series for a Cadillac" I think she would have laughed, or maybe cried
Sort of like when I said to Mom, no, really, you have to go check out the Hyundai and the Kia...

BTW- she just loves her Sorento

Start posting boys and get a jump on Aashish while he's in meetings today
It takes two to have a conversation though...

I was watching Motor Trend on HD Theater last night, and they were doing a showdown of the so-called "small" SUVs (they tried calling them crossovers, and I abhor that word - but I'll get into that some other time).

IIRC, the Kia Sorento was #3, the Dodge Journey(!) was #2, and the Chevy Equinox was #1.

The CR-V and the RAV4 didn't even make the top 4...

So has anyone been watching Jeopardy the last two days? They're doing a competition between two human opponents and IBM's latest supercomputer - and the supercomputer is absolutely stomping them.

I, for one, welcome our new trivia king overlords.

Watson thinks Toronto is a US city.
It has a kajillion terabytes of trivia, but it got confused on the simplest thing.
Weird.
