The hot new trend in Columbus these days is to buy Hondas and talk about buying Hondas as better for Ohio/America than buying from Big Three automakers because Honda has car manufacturing plants in Ohio.  I respond that Honda is a foreign automaker and they reply that Honda has invested in Ohio so it makes more sense to buy Honda in Ohio.  Does anyone have an opinion on this?

Is that true?  Probably is.  Seems reasonable enough.  Lexuses (is that right?) are nice cars.  Overpriced, but very nice.  I am a BMW man myself (aka I'm an asshole).

It's true. Lexuses are nice. They are toyotas with fancy leather/materials/technology, and if I had 1 word to describe Toyota's it'd be "solid" I find them boring as hell, but what can you do.

As a BMW man I only consider you an asshole if you drive like one. BMWs are amazing machines, but you didn't buy the road too. My first week I had my permit I was cut off by 7 different BMWs in 7 days... I'm a VW/Audi/Porsche fan myself (what does that make me?) and Jeep enthusiast

I love profiling:

VW: hippy

Audi: refined, yet full of yourself

Porsche: easy going rich man who doesn't mind blowing money on maintenance

I love my G8 GXP.  I can look lovingly at it as it sits there in its carport and I stand at the bus stop.  Stupid 4.27 a gal premium.  

My wife rolls a GTO so I'm at least ahead of her in fuel effieciency.  

/I think we may need to bite the bullet and lease a Cruze or something

Thanks!  The wedding survival is premature though.  We're married for citizenship purposes right now.  When she goes out on the job market she'll go as an American citizen, not someone who needs a HS1B visa  The ceremony in Korea will be the third week of May so I need to make through that.

- Have you heard, Dantonio's been recruting a lot in the Jackson area lately

- I heard he's trying to get the nick named the Warden

- I heard numbers on the MSU jersey's are four or five digits long

- I heard that they like to take the team photo from both the front and the side

- I heard in an attempt to keep MSU hip, Dantonio has decided to have Nike create an orange jumpsuit (combat leisure unis) since that is what the kids seem to be wearing these days

- Can anyone verify if true, or know of any others?
