  0 0 Well, it didn't break because I crashed or anything; it just kinda snapped one day on the road. But since it's a clean break I'm hoping it can be repaired without turning into a Frankenstein project, but I don't know anything about welding. Mr_Friendly commented 8 months ago

  Songs about the Pacific Northwest?

  0 0 Young Fresh Fellows - Aurora Bridge. Not much of a gorgeous landscape song, and some of the references won't make sense to someone who wasn't here in the 80's, but it's still very fitting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e79psW4eF6o Mr_Friendly answered in Music/Bands/Venues 10 months ago Answer, comment & read 12 more answers »

  How good an idea is a Prius/hybred car these days?

  0 0 The Prius is extremely reliable. There's not a lot of issues with them, and even the hybrid batteries will probably last the life of the car. Generally you're better off having a Toyota dealership do the service, but the need for service is so infrequent it's really a non-issue. I'd feel very confident buying a used Prius with 50K-100K miles on it, but you might want to be cautious with the 1st gen models (2001-2003) if they've got a lot of miles and still have the original battery. And the type of commute you describe is ideal for the Prius. Once you learn how to use the pulse and glide driving technique you'll probably average well above the EPA standards. I get about 50 MPG in my 2008 Prius, and most of my driving is short trips around town. I always get better mileage on the highway.

  Can you review that SIFF film you just saw in 100 words or less?

  0 0 Treatment You got your bromance in my mumblecore. No, you got your mumblecore in my bromance. Treatment is a comedy that examines the dysfunctional relationship between bros who have big dreams of fame, but lack the common sense to make them happen. Joshua Leonard (Humpday) plays the rebel without a clue filmmaker who wants to make an important film for the new millennium, but gets derailed while courting talent in a posh rehab clinic. Sean Nelson (My Effortless Brilliance) plays the begrudging patron of the arts who bankrolls his dreams to avoid getting a job of his own.
