Larry seems we have much in common

Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors
Ever read stardust or Sandman?

Im currently on bad omens myself, I heard it wasnt as good though what are your thoughts?

i live in the UK and Chryslers are pretty rare over. so no Larry i have not seen the new compact models you are talking about. i wouldnt have guessed a small car would survive in teh US market u ppl always seem to go for bigger is better ways of thinking with regards to cars.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to this thread... been a bit busy.

Diazo...

Good Omens is absolutely one of the best books I have ever read. The humor in it is classic, the timing is perfect, and the footnotes are like the icing on the cake. I've read just about everything Neil Gaiman has writen... all of his books I have first printings of ("Smoke and Mirrors," "Stardust," "Neverwhere," "American Gods," "Corallie," etc). By far though, Good Omens is my favorite.

Cheeri-o mate. You Brits should know the danger of making broad generalizations. Maybe you had a little something extra during tea time, or did you get bumped on the noggin by a hooligan at the latest football game (what us Yanks call soccer)?

Just teasing. A lot of people do like the big cars and so forth, but not all of us. I happen to drive a very sensible car, and not some big gas-guzzling land barge that needs its own postal code. I've seen quite a few of the new Chryslers, and they look so much like the ERA Turbo that I thought the first one I saw was an ERA Turbo. They're even smaller than the Honda Today.

Still, I live in a college town, so one never knows. The other day, I saw someone driving a Vespa. It was even yellow... (FLCL)

Cool well I guess I know the next book im going to read. Thanks for the info.

On a side note I know that he didnt actually write the sandman...but still it has some good stories in it.

Oh and another thing I wasnt able to access this site the majority of the day...I kept getting a forbidden error...whats up with that?

i too had that error problem yesterday, maybe the server was down or something.

in response to Larry's post, i just thought the US market doesnt have small cars. Even if its from a US company, for example here in the UK there is a very common small car called the Ford Fiesta, but when i visit the american webiste for Ford i see no such car.
Hehe it might say im from the UK in my profile but i can assure u im not ur typical Brit! ^^

Finally... I can reply to the questions asked of me. *Sigh* This is annoying.

Diazo... He did write Sandman. Every last issue of it. The other people just drew the art, but that is all 100% Neil Gaiman writing.

Keiichi-K1... We have lots of small cars made in the USA. For example, the Chevy Metro (formerly the Geo Metro). It is only a little bigger than the Honda Today. The new Chryslers are even smaller than a Today. Small cars are actually about as popular as SUVs, but the SUVs get all the attention because they're expensive, harmful to the environment, and impossible not to notice. My first car actually was a GEO Metro. Got great gas milage.

I was just playing off the stereotypical "Brit" persona to tease you and make a point that misconceptions about people in other countries are often quite wrong.

Larry

really he did write it? Well damn thats even better because I loved that book/comics...Delerium is my favorite, she is based after Tori Amos I heard...I guess the tree nympth in stardust is also based after her.

SUV's...sigh I dont understand why destroying the planet that much faster is the hip thing

SUVs dont really appeal to me either, but not becos they harm the environment (although thats a bad thing too) its mainly becos i dont find the look interesting.

the Hummer H2 is one of my fav SUV's. Much more like it when it is fully-customized inside-out. :bg:

the Hummer is an overgrown GI Joe toy! im sorry but to me it looks more like a sad excuse for somebody to get a piece of "military muscle"

*Glances down at his lap meaningfully*

I don't need an SUV.

Larry

hmm....you don't need an SUV coz it is too much expensive? :blink:

Give me a nice reliable Japanese car anyday! thing is im currently driving a Ford focus!

Nope... Don't need an SUV because... oh, nevermind...

You got a good vihecle there.Ford is the best.But the 3 best car/truck manufacturers are Ford,GM, & Honda(my opinion).The Ford f series is the best trucks.But I aint that good of a mechanic but I do try to do my own maintance.
