Look on the bright side werd, you don't have to worry about replacing it until you hit the 500,000 to 600,000Km mark.



Be well...

My wife’s PT Cruiser is in the shop for more work - again.

No more GM, Chrysler or Ford for us. Her next vehicle is going to be a nice Canadian made (assembled) Toyota or Honda. I have around 360,000 Kms on my Corolla and I want to get at least 500,000 Kms on it before I upgrade (knock-on-wood).

Check the monthly payments *including* insurance. That's how wife got a fully loaded Accord instead of a two door Civic.

Also Toyota tends to have #censored# sound systems.

Dodge has 2.5% over 7 years... cheap. You can get one of those 2010 challengers, totally loaded Hemi, with the racing stripe package. Absolutely beautiful car for about  $275.00 bi weekly. Wanted that but the wife said .......

[vegasdave]

Cool!

That car will not depreciate like a typical dodge. If its not bagged out it will have a good resale..

Back on topic...

Who has heard Renmin Park?  I own it and it is a very very good album.  You can listen to the whole thing on their site, but it's wayyyy more dynamic and organic than listening via that experience.

I just listened to the whole album on their site and I think its one of the best albums I've heard in the last few years.  "Trinity Revisited" was my favourite Junkie's album. Remnin Park is a brilliant concept as well. will wait for the CD on Jun 15 over the download tho.

I think its their best album. But I like their later albums over their earlier.

[ted_b]

Yes, great album.  I bought the download for three reasons:
1) couldn't wait 
2) its lossless FLAC (and supposedly slightly more dynamic than the pressing will be, but need to find where I read that...or dreamt it)
3) my assumption that maybe Margo and her brothers will get a slightly larger margin than via record stores...dunno really.

@ ted

Have you read the blogs on the Cowboy Junkie's website about the trip to China that  inspired the Remnin Park album? Fascinating read.

[ted_b]

Yes, They are fascinating.  The album pulls together much nicer after those readings.  The sonic landscape is really unique.
