I just can't keep up on the Web 2.0 netiquette. I just wanted to say: you will never in a million years hear a New Orleanian say "you guys". We say "y'all". Only yankees say "you guys". Besides, how is "guys" any better than "ladies"? It's still gender-specific.Jezebellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642774106656681478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-34119266337456181082009-04-04T00:12:00.000+04:302009-04-04T00:12:00.000+04:30I can't help you with this particular subject, but...I can't help you with this particular subject, but I love your blog.

I have to say I think the new line of Fords is excellent. I ended up buying a 2008 Taurus after driving my 2001 Focus into the ground, and Mr. K bought a 2008 Focus at the end of last year. We have been very, very happy with our Fords since we started buying them in 2000, and a highly recommend them.Krupskayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665763126281611998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-72806077653470653822009-03-29T01:09:00.000+04:302009-03-29T01:09:00.000+04:30We got a civic hybrid with a manual transmission. ...We got a civic hybrid with a manual transmission. I think when we bought the car they recommended getting the automatic because its shifting mechanism improves mileage. But we were used to a manual transmission and sorta like it. <BR/><BR/>Also, the civic hybrid does not look weird. They aren't making them anymore, but obviously they're still available used.

And I, too, really don't much like their looks. I wish I did.<BR/><BR/>My other complaint about the Prius is that the transmission is automatic, and I've always driven (and much prefer) a manual.

But it was $7K cheaper than the Prius, which we also considered, and frankly we just don't drive that much so the great gas mileage wasn't enough to sway us $7K for a car w/ considerably less space. <BR/><BR/>Hey, have you considered asking the Car Guys, or at least seeing what their web page says?E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10023959769203103393noreply@blogger.com
