A reminder to everyone - I am playing Birth of America II. I understand that both versions are excellent games, though.

OK my view of underpowered is skewed. When I got to drive it it was from a guy whose previous cars, included a 5.0 mustang and a highly modified 91 MR2 w/ absolutely no options (a/c, power steering, roof, spoiler) and 300hp/ft-lbs. This was a bit of a change. Anyways, it's kinda zippy for the engine it has, yes. But it doesn't have the beef to tow much and when loaded down, you can really tell. Still, fitting two full sized mountain bikes in the back with only turning the seats up is pretty cool.
And while the sylings of the Element are consitant throughout and it presents itself well for what it is, I still maintain it is ugly in my eye. Scion's just hit a whole other realm of ugly associated with the teenage modifiaction-obsessed crowd.

Yeah, I wish I had noticed earlier. Blame Certis for not paying more attention to me.

Top Gear would disagree with you I think.
Is the call in number from Canada or the USA?

I don't think there is any shame in owning a mini-van, it's practical and versatile. Where the shame comes if is if you try, in vain, to hold onto your vanished youth by trying to look cool in it. It's impossible, like an 80 year old grandmother holding onto her youth by dressing in a mini-skirt.
Don't fight that your life is over, own it and die with grace.

I believe the area code is for Minnesota.
Doesn't everyone have free long distance in North America on their home phones? I thought that was just standard now a days.

I'm glad we're moving back to minivans. This trend of boxy minivans labeled "SUVs" needed to stop.
Words... are a big deal.

I know I have free long distance in the USA, not quite sure about north and south of the border though.

Why is it so shocking that I didn't like LBP? I found the controls nonintuitive. Why does your sockboy/girl always automatically face forward? What's with the jumping backwards instead of just turning around and walking back? Things just felt really mushy and imprecise.
Also there was the problem that I always have when Shawn wants to play something co-op which is that he charges off without waiting, ever, and I feel like the younger brother in A Christmas Story, dragged along everywhere and never heeded. I can't make that jump that fast! I don't know how to make this wheel turn! I can't put my arms down!
I'm actually right there with you. That's part of the reason I ended up not liking LBP all that much. And if you aren't into the platforming, and aren't into the Level Creator ... well, that's why I traded my copy away.
I know I just committed eighteen crimes of heresy, but there you go.

My fiance had Halo (and consequently, Microsoft's consoles for some unknown reason) ruined for her for that same reason. Except, she wasn't playing w/ Shawn, or me. It was one of her college friends before we met and he dropped her into the campaign on Legendary, having never played any FPS'es. So actually, her experience was probably a bit more of an extreme outcome.
Thankfully, Timesplitters has gotten her to reconsider her hatred of the FPS genre. But that's only because of the Ninja Monkey. She likes monkeys... And really likes Ninjas.

Dam I just bought a minivan too 2 weeks ago. And in Minneapolis of all places. It has a spoiler though.
