Man room? I'm jealous.

QOTD: I drive an 04 4Runner that has given us no trouble at all since we bought it 3 years ago. My wife drives a 97 Accord that has also never given us any trouble. Once the 4Runner is paid off soon we'll be getting the wife another car, possibly a Murano or Maxima.

Someone PM'ed me asking about the man room so I'll explain a little further...

It's a pretty basic setup. I bought the cheapest TV stand I could find from Wal-Mart. It's one of those TV carts with wheels on the bottom (I didn't put the wheels on) and one shelf. I have a 19" Samsung wide screen LCD monitor that I use for my Xbox gaming. A small HDTV is in the plans but we probably won't get one until Christmas.

I have the Xbox in the shelf of that thing, all my games on the bottom. I have one of those video game rocker chairs with the speakers included that I sit in to play.

The PC is in a good sized computer armoire (sp?). The doors can close and I have it situated in a corner, so it's pretty much out of the way.

On the other end of the room, I have a really nice futon that also serves as a guest bed (folds out into a queen size bed). When it's in couch mode, I'll sit there and watch TV (when I get one).

I have two small end tables on either end of the futon. On one, I have a full sized replica Bills helmet and a small model of Ralph Wilson Stadium. On the other, I have a small plush UNC Tar Heel mascot, a replica of the 1993 National Championship Trophy, and a UNC Tar Heels bobblehead.

I'm planning on mounting a shelf on the wall above the futon and putting all of my other sports knick knacks up there (Terry Tate-Office Linebacker Bobblehead, my Super Bowl 38 Ticket Stub, various old Starting Lineup figures, etc).

That's pretty much the jist of it.

QOTD: 2004 Honda Civic EX. I am very happy with it, although I'm not happy with the dent I put in it awhile ago.

[RaychelSnr]

Yeah, It displays the date and time while your on the main menu (ie. not playing a game or in the PS Store)..Just a cool little addition IMO.

44-41! You have to be getting excited about the fact the Rangers have been playing some rather good baseball this month. If they could play another month like they did May, for July...look out! But, I am a Rangers fan so I shall not get my hopes up too far.

QOTD: Ford Explorer Sport Trac and no, the gas mileage sucks. I will probably be downconverting quite far, to a Prius or other small, gas efficient hybrid very soon.

Thats awesome, i love my man room, no idea what id do without it

[Nomah5]

UGH. an 07 bmw X5 4.8i. My 30 year old ego led me to the bigger V8 engine and the 12 miles per gallon I get.

Re: Wednesday Morning Other Stuff (7-2-08)

QOTD: I drive a 2002 Tahoe. I love it and haven't had any major problems with it. I think the mileage is around 90,000+ so I'll just drive it until it won't let me.

Yes, everyone should have their own man room. That's where I have my theater system, plasma TV, computer, and PS3.

2001 Saturn SC1

It's ok...i'm far from happy with the acceleration from a dead stop, but it's a sufficient car for now. It's got about 80k miles on it, so my plan is to just run it into the ground for at least 2 more years...I'd like a new car, but not enough to pay through the roof right now (and I'd like hybrids to get even more advanced than they are now).

Re: Wednesday Morning Other Stuff (7-2-08)

I don't understand the point of hybrids as you pay thousands of dollars more for them and that money is probably more than you would spend extra in gas on a regular car.

Nice spelling of "gauge" douche!

Im going to my Grandparents house today for a 4th of July bbq thingy with my girlfriend. Should be aight.

QOTD: 1997 Honda Civic. Um... Its been good for four years but I really want to buy a new one now, the steering wheel is starting to break apart and it seems i have to pay for something new everytime i check it up

That's why I want them to get more advanced...I'm not going to pay the premium now, but I'm hoping in 3-5 years they can bring the price down a bit, or improve performance...I do think I'll get a more economic car, hybrid or not.

For me, I have no idea where I'll be in life in 3 years, so it's tough to figure out what I'd buy anyways...

Re: Wednesday Morning Other Stuff (7-2-08)

Who knew tits would pass the censors?

If you don't want to get a hybrid at least get a car that has a good MPG rate or else you'll be suffering at the pump even more.

QOTD: not applicable to me.

The future Reggie Bush reminds of playing against this kid in 4th grade that was unstoppable. He was about like that kid.
