I need to know....

Anything!

I need to know....

Postby Footy Chick » Fri Sep 03, 2010 9:19 am

This has been bugging me for weeks now - so I thought I'd put it out to the masses.

Have been driving to work along West Terrace lateley and been noticing all the car dealerships now have double/triple story buildings with the cars all displayed on the highest stories ( a-la CMI Toyota and the BMW dealership)

My question: How the hell do they get the cars in and out? :shock: I've been looking for something that resembles a car lift or something but can't make one out.

Also -If you need to know something - here's the place to ask! :D

There are several things that have been bothering me for a long time so here goes:

1. Those little packets of silicone you get in boxes of taco shells. 'Do Not Eat', they say. Why is such a warning necessary? And, now that they've put the idea in my head, why can't I eat them?

2. Why don't schools teach kids to f***ing spell?

3. Does anyone know where I can find episodes of 'Twins of Destiny', a rather violent animated children's story that screened on ABC in 1995?

4. Where can I buy collard greens in South Australia?

5. Can you use Yojimbo's Zanmato attack to defeat Penance in Final Fantasy X? (I'd rather do that than fight it for two hours.)

Adelaide Motors BMW have a car lift in it, I've riden up in it!

Next time you go past BMW, look in the showroom on the Northern side and look at the big "silver eye balls" on the wall. Nice product they are.... ;)

I blame computers and spell check (not the person) for lack of spelling and grammar, on the computer there is no excuse, use spell check!

I'd say the allowances made for education in the state and federal budgets. Seeing class numbers up near or over 30 kids in a class, no wonder teachers don't have the time to spend quality one on one time with each child.

I've driven several BMW models at different times, and I've never bought one.
BMWs are not bad, but steady rather than exciting in handling - very like most Mercedes Benz models and the A-series Audis really.
The top end cars from all three makers are more interesting, but I have no doubt that if I were spending big money on a car now I go for the Audi R8.
The right Porsche model would be the only other consideration.
[I've never quite understood people who pay so much for cars with ordinary handling and performance for the name on the badge.]
