I was watching TV and saw a commercial for a new battery driven vacuum cleaner. It was named the G2. I'm sure both Joe and Jason would love to have a vacuum named after them.

They would probably soup it up and turn it into a ride on vacuum cleaner.....

I guess it's the only way you could ever say, "The G2 really sucks!" and get away with it!

Well, G2 is good at cleaning up Galactor... why not my home? I don't know if Joe would prefer this, or the brightly-colored sports drink that also bears his code...

I think I might go grab Joshie to comment on this one .... Stupid idea on my part that was ... now he's on the puter making sure I know all about it. Sighhhhh Yes, it is a vacuum he's familiar with -- in fact it is one he has asked me for in the past.. I don't know how I didn't remember that. My only excuse I guess is that there are so many vacuum requests these days that they've all melded into the one machine to me.. So our Condor has: Sports Drinks Ipod Vacuums Security Companies ... And even a real McCoy G2 vehicle.... (Pontiac has a G2 doncha know -- ugly little thing) The Condor's Designation really is quite popular ...

Springie, that's hysterical! I forgot about the little car - we used to call cars that small in Germany (like the Smart Car) coffins - you crash in one and they bury you in it.

The Pontiac G-6 and G-8's are much cooler looking. I almost bought a G6 when I was car hunting a few years back - just for the name. Apple also had, years back, a PowerMac G2 computer.

Heh heh .. well. Being a Ford girl through and through I say all Pontiacs are ugly horrible lawn-mower-engine pieces of crap.... As are Hondas. Of course Honda Drivers proabaly have everything to do with my loathe of those little hunks of crap ... They always fail to understand that a big hulking F-150 will come out of top if you challenge it... Been there, done it ... F-150 won that battle quite spectacularly $1300 damage to the Civic, only a kiss on the butt for the Ford... In fact we barely even felt it ... I believe it came to a look between Flash and I that said "Did the truck just jerk on us, or did we just get hit?" But I digress .... Now ... Jason sould get himself a Lincoln MKZ or an F150 Raptor ... two cars with some serious balls, and some serious good looks ... There are plenty of cellphones with the G2 thing attached to it ... There's even a movie called G2 Important people gather for the G2 summit even .. wouldn't that be an interesting meeting to attend? Heh heh... more appropriate for a Condor ... a G2 axle and gear assembly ...

Had a Ford, spent more time in the shop than not. Have never had a problem with our Dodges or Hondas... Although I would have killed to have my old 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo SS in Germany. Would have had to have the 140 mph engine shut down turned off.

That was the problem I had with my Ford as well. Wrote a letter to the company and told them I would never buy a Ford again. They sent me back a nice letter more or less saying .... we will miss you. Now when people ask for my opinion on a car, Ford is at the bottom of my list. It's a good thing not many people ask ....

Got that right! I'm rather partial to Toyotas myself (says she whose dull-but-hardy 1992 Camry has 194,000 miles on it and is still running fine *fingers crossed*).

Same opinion here!!! And, hearing most of you talking against Ford, and the problems incurred because of it, I'm now very relieved that my DH has opted for another type instead of the Ford he wished, even if it's a second hand Citroen! Speaking for myself, I'm still very happy with my 12-year-old Seat Cordoba ... the only problem I have had with it was the long period of time I was left without parts when someone had driven into it and brought it almost to total loss! They took more than a whole year to repair it! I had even written a letter to the mother company to complain about such long delays ... an action which our local representatives didn't appreciate that much! Even if after that episode I kind of started looking at it in another way, I very well realise that it has not been her fault, poor thing!

saw my first car with the 'Spectra" insignia on the back, today, up till today I'd only heard about them, it was olive green

I know GG wanted to buy a Kia Spectra in purple. I don't think she ever did, though...

Isn't that a Matiz?
