Aston Martin readying Toyota iQ-based city car

You pronounce it as an abbreviation? Okay.

Yes...

[2o6]

I said FWD, which means you would say "F", "W", "D", as in the letters. "F" is pronounced "ef", which starts with a vowel, and so I said "An". If I wanted to say front wheel drive I would have said "a front wheel drive". I'm not dumb.

Don't try to be a smartass.

Nice fredurian slip.

Yes...

I don't believe you.

[Cookie Monster]

Nice fredurian slip.


I don't believe you.

Where's my "fredurian" slip?

And I don't care if you don't believe me, honestly. Sometimes I say the letters "FWD" and sometimes I just say "front wheel drive".

I don't see what the big deal is. Do you say "Video Home System" instead of VHS? "Digital Versatile Disc" instead of DVD?

Ok.....whatever you say.......

I like how nowadays everyone has a stick up their ass and has to make a big deal out of nothing.

In this case, it seems to be the other way around, dude.

Actually, it seems like iffy's the one with it up the butt.

Fredurian?

Just GTFO now.

Also, do you even know what a Freudian slip is? That's not a Freudian slip.

For the record I do have a lot of Freudian slips when I'm talking for some reason.

That could be, well, inconvenient.

Good thing they aren't anything inappropriate...

Well, depending on the situation, that could come in handy.

I suffer from acute chronic Foot-In-Mouth Syndrome.  It's like Turret's, but worse.

It's OK, 2o6 suffers from Fredurian slips.

Freduran slips=mental retardation?

I kid, I kid.

Durian = Really smelly fruit.

Fre = Prefix for "free"


It means that carspynut slipped and fell on some stanky fruit.

I'm a wreck when I don't spell check.

On to another irrelevant debate. In most of the south from what I have seen 20 oz drinks are $1.00 from a machine and ~$1.42 from a store. Very few machines carry 12 oz cans anymore.

Dang that's cheap.

No shit.  Must be the weather.

[Raza]

No, I'm more talking about Coca-Cola.  A can of Coke is .50 in a pop machine.  A 12 oz. glass of Coke at your average country club is $2.

Exclusivity breeds exclusivity breeds arrogance breeds frivolous spending.  You're paying to get into a hoity toity club, and then you're paying way too much for a drink just because you can.  The price of this rinky dink car means nothing.  It's the badge.  So yeah, it's going to become a completely overpriced urban runabout.  But it's going to be completely worth it in interior materials and exclusivity alone.

So, you actually do live in 1975, don't you? 

I haven't seen a can of branded soda for fifty cents in at least ten years. 

[Raza]

That's retardedly expensive.  You can get 20 oz. bottles from the pop machine for $1-1.25 in most places.

I've seen some $1.25s, but mostly $1.50 here for bottles. 

[the Teuton]

.75 max.  Seriously, you guys have some expensive pop in your parts.

"FWD" is two more syllables than "front wheel drive".  It's a typing abbreviation, not a speaking one.  But it's really quite silly to argue over.

[Raza]

75-100 for a can of soda with a real brand on it.  Even store brand sodas are running into fifty cents nowadays, and they were only twenty-five a few years ago.

It's 0.80 cents in my area.

I've seen that one too, and it really pisses me off.  Anything bought in a vending machine should be able to be paid for with exact change using only quarters.

I'll check when I go shopping again next weekend.

And on top of that, can vending machines are getting rarer and rarer.  Everything's bottles nowadays, other than the one near my local supermarket.

Wal-Mart still has them.  Most are in bottles, though, for $1.25 or so.

See, that's something I'd miss, because I never go to Walmart. 

I might have to go to buy that $300 MSI Wind, but it depends on my morals vs. my wallet.
