No, I hate hauling. When you own a truck, you become everyone's furntiure delivery man. Every time a freind, neighbor or Family member buys something.

Bought a Dodge pickup once. The family all laughed at me. Within a week, they called asking if I could pick up furniture they couldn't fit into their car and didn't want to pay delivery for, asked me to pick up 40 folding chairs for a party, dry wall and 2x4's at Home Depot...

Mazda 3 is sweet. I had a '02 Protege that I passed on to the oldest son last year. Traded the '05 Honda Odyssey in against an '08 Mazda 3 Sport for the wife. Fun and reliable cars.

Sounds like the digital picture frame we bought the in-laws for Christmas 3 years ago. Thing was plugged in for about a week I think.

Got son no. 2 a refurb Acer Iconia A500 this past Christmas. Turning his old Viewsonic G Tab into a pic frame/internet radio for the kitchen.

Hmmm. My car is an '09 Santa Fe. I really like it. I like what Hyundai (and Kia) have done in the past 5 or so years, by totally redoing their line-up. I love the look of the Sonata and the Kia Optima. But I like being a bit higher up on the road now.

You'll enjoy your Mazda for many years I think.

We can talk about how horrible Schenn was playing with Giroux. We can talk about how the Flyers did not know about Brygalov's personality. We can talk about how useless Shelly is. Its endless!
- MBFlyerfan

For the record, I never thought Schenn was horrible with Giroux but I do feel both should be playing center.

That's excellent. Rooted with a ROM from XDA? They had the TP's here for $100 before Christmas but I wanted a 10" tab for the kid.

I should since I have a 5 year load on it it.

The sonata looks nice on the inside but it just wasn't fun to drive like the mazdas were. I didn't really like the looks of the Kia compared to the mazda and it costed a lot more so I ruled it out since I was very impressed by the mazda.

Two different types of cars for sure. The Elantra is more in line with the Mazda 3 in terms of size and price. I test drove an Elantra and it was okay, but I'd make the same decision you did anyway. The only thing about the redesigned Mazda's I didn't really care for was the smiley face front bumper. They've toned it down a bit from when it debuted.

i thought about the elantra but i thought it looked horrible i tried the sonata cause it was 198 hp and wanted to see if it was any faster than the mazda... which it was not

This is going to be a long week without hockey. Our blog turned into tech talk about tvs and stereo systems and this one turned into car talk. What will be talked about on day 6 of no hockey.
