Learned'd VIII: Less Bewbs, Same Nonsense

I had the advantage of being a seasoned PDA owner (I had one of these babies back in 2002, in addition to multiple Palm devices and an iPaq), so I knew what I needed out of the device, so it was easy for me to know if the iPad was right for me or not.

So I rented The Hunger Games movie last night as a test of video playback on my phone (rented from Google Play). Anyway...

That movie wasn't very good. What's all the fuss about? The story is BAD. Full of deus ex machina, holes, and dirt swept under the carpet. The ending was particularly terrible. Makes me glad I didn't waste my time on the books.

The Japanese did it first, and it didn't suck quite as bad. It's also gory as hell.

Indeed. I have never been a mechanic, because I knew i'd absolutely hate it. I did work as a web designer for 3 years and enjoyed that, but I grew majorly bored with it.

I have an interesting question for you peoples..

Bart and I were discussing getting Will a car. Now, I don't mind letting him take over the Caliber or getting him a junked car and having him rebuild it, but Bart is of the opinion that we should get him some shxtty econobox from the 80s. Any suggestions?

The 80's were a long time ago (vehicularly speaking) and aren't what they were when we were younger. Those cars are 25-30 years old now.
A 90's econobox would be more suitable considering they're only about 20 years old- which is what 80's cars were when we started driving.

For example, when I was looking for a reliable winter beater that was decent on gas I was scouring Craiglist for 90's Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Toyotas, and Hondas. Hondas were always the most expensive. Toyotas rusted out, and most surprisingly, you will still find those 90's GM carbon copy shared platform cars that were 'old lady owned and only driven to church and the market.'
With a solid transmission that wasn’t abused and the bulletproof (and cheap parts a-plenty) for the gm 3.1 or 3.8, it’s a great first car.

CHECK IT OUT. ITS A '94 BUICK REGAL!

My first car was a 77 Ford LTD and then I moved to an 85 Ford LTD II after a few months. So, I can understand. But, my concern is that I'd like to teach him the value of the car.. and I know he's not going to WANT to beat the car up, but he's going to put it through the wringer. So, I don't want to get him a great car, but I guess I just want to have faith that he will understand the importance of taking care of his car?

I share your values on autos (hell, we all do, thats why we're here or at least what drew us here in the first place!) but Will may not. At least, not yet. In my opinion, if you want to teach him the value and importance of a car, his car, I suggest having him pay for at least half of the vehicle and all of the insurance and teach him proper maintenance (or at least let him pay for proper maintenance, then he'll WANT to work on his own car to save money). If he can't afford it up front because he doesn't have a job yet, make him get one first, then have him pay you back with a good chunk of cash or check payable to the Bank of Mom and Dad for his car payment and insurance. This way, he'll have ownership and his own effort, time, and money into the car. That's what my parents did to me. I also learned how to use checks and a check book (booya, another life lesson for him!)

In regards to respecting it and taking care of it like the machine it is and not the appliance most people treat them now-a-days, show him those photos on Google of cars with gummed up oil in their engines, dark transmission fluid, beat up brake rotors from not changing pads, and corded tires (hell, show him pics from my FB page for the last two) etc so he understands the reason and importance behind usual maintenance.

He doesn't need a passion for his car, but he should learn how to respect it and how to treat it from you and Bart.

Threw the XXRs I had sitting around on the Maxima finally. Meh. They fit decent for stock suspension. :/

I need new foglights and I gotta buff out my headlights. This thing is a beater lolz. And the coils I have for it are unfortunately blown so it's in truck mode right now. Kinda fun to romp over things.
