    He also mad because of the poor design of the soda machine; Water and iced tea come out of same place, and it is really easy to dispense iced tea by when trying to dispense water, and I think he got annoyed at me for accidentally dispensing maybe five cents worth of iced tea.

    Agree. I like the GMC pickup front-ends that have dual round sealed beam lights on each side:cool:images-8.jpg

    Those are unfortunately harder to find; The 1967-1972 Chevy trucks are a dime a dozen compared to their GMC counterparts :(

    There was a 2 door GMC Yukon next to me at a red light, you would have liked it.

    Going back to our discussion of the Fox Bodies, would it be easier to install a subwoofer in a convertible version of your car? I can't believe that JL Audio or one of those companies doesn't make at least one vehicle-specific sub enclosure for the 1987-1993 Mustang!

    The holiest of grails that I've ever found was a 1995 or 1996 Yukon GT 2-door with a factory 5-speed stick; Every option except the G80 locker!

    I have a 1998 Tahoe brochure and manual transmissions weren't available on 2-doors then; I think they stopped offering the stick shift version in 1997 or so...

    I don't think "hate" is the right way to describe my feelings for any of the characters on The Sopranos. Obviously, I love Tony; David Chase's genius was that he made most of America and a good chunk of the world fall in love with a murderous mob boss who also happened to be a family man; Whether or not Tony was a sociopath is something I've been asking myself for more than twelve years.

    One character I definitely did not like was Ralph "Ralphie" Cifaretto, played by Joe Pantoliano; Ralph was nasty even by mafia standards, and a total asshole, but Pantoliano's portrayal of the character was amazing. Ralph had a significant coke habit which contributed to his unpredictable nature, and he also had some bizarre sexual fetishes.

    A character I loved to hate was Phil Leotardo, played by the late Frank Vincent; Phil was most definitely a sociopath, and extremely homophobic even by mafia standards, but at the same time he had his standards and lived by a strict code of honor. Based on what I've read about Frank Vincent, it sounds like he was an amazing person, and I'm sad I never got to meet him!

    Aside from the Soprano family (Tony, Carmela, Meadow, AJ) as a whole, my favorite character without a doubt was Christopher Moltisanti, played by Michael Imperioli.
