That can be accomplished with about 6 weeks of intense OMNIfication. Then you'll be like ICR, looking down the steps to see what's accumulating.

I'm in Southern Illinois. It's 18 degrees, windchill 6... snowing and icy roads. Remind me again why people live where it's butt freezing cold?

That's on the high side of zero. I'll bet you're really outside getting a tan and complaining just to be complaining.

What part of southern IL?

'Cause they grew up in Minnesota and are conditioned to believe that a cold butt is the way that God controls hubris???

I don't think that is butt freezing cold. I think butt freezing happens at 12. It was 8 when I got in the car this morning in BFE Utah. Now, that is butt freezing cold. Now, my question is why do people live in BFE AND where it is butt freezing cold. I know y'all think I already live in BFE but you have no idea what it is like out here.

My Audi TT does too, unfortunately it's parked at the IND airport right now.

And what's the Oasis Lounge in JFK and if it's better than the BizE, why am I not using it and slumming in T2??

This one is a 2001 TDI (diesel), turbocharged, leaves most cars behind in a cloud of smoke but still gets 48 miles per gallon.

I'm driving my aunt's TDI this week for fun. It's not a huge fan of the morning cold, but you're right about the mileage.

It's not at all like my '82 Puegot 505 diesel. It runs much more like a gasoline engine.
