Would you buy an electric car if it was like the Tesla Roadster but affordable?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 18 Jul 08

I came across the Tesla website in my search for "green" vehicles. I watched some of the U-tube videos of this particular car. I would love to have such a vehicle that has a 350 km range, 125 mph top speed and 0-60 mph in 4 secs,...

How much is too much?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 3 Jun 08

How much money do you spend on fuel each month? Being retired, we can keep our vehicle usage to a minimum. Even though we have a gas-guzzling SUV, we are spending only C$75 per month so far this year. I wonder how that compares...

What do you think of the last album - Last Exit to Eden?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 3 Jun 08

I like some of what I've heard but I'm not sure about the whole album. I have and love most of the other Eagles albums from yesteryear, especially the earlier ones.

New and Improved?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 31 May 08

How does it make you feel when your favourite foodstuffs are now "new and improved" and don't taste the same? We hate this drive to give up on what's been working so well for so long to try something that inevitably don't quite...

Ridiculous, incredible response to someone doing their job

I have just heard that the judge presiding over the case of Canadian Omar Khadr being held in Guantanamo Bay has just been fired for delaying the case. What the judge did, thank his soul, was threaten to suspend proceedings if the...

Have you ever asked your local government representative (e.g., member of parliament) a question and actually received a response? if so, has the response answered your question? We have had occasion recently (within the last...

Does it make sense to try to sell lp records?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 17 May 08

I have a small collection (400+) of lp records covering everything from acid-rock to jazz and blues. Most of the lps have been played a few times, but most are in great shape. Do you think it would be worth my while to offer these...

The Message in an Enjoyable Movie

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 16 May 08

I have just finished watching the movie "Evan Almighty" in which Evan is absent from his job as congressman to build an ark. This leaves us with the message that we can change the world with one "Act of Random Kindness" at a time...

Do you think that it is fair - sales tax every time?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 14 May 08

Here in Canada, when one buys a new vehicle, one pays a sales tax of 8% plus a goods and services tax of 5% for a total of 13% of the price of the vehicle. If one decides to sell this vehicle at any time thereafter, the buyer must...

Do you play darts, either for fun casually, or in an organized league?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 3 May 08

I am interested to know if this game is as popular in your area as it is becoming in mine. I believe there is a trend towards more popularity world-wide but just thought I would try to get a better idea through myLot. Thanks.

Do you need the latest, greatest whatever?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 30 Apr 08

Are you the type of person that needs to follow trends? Do you need the latest gadget? Have you fully exploited the capabilities of the "stuff" that you already own? These are questions we could ask ourselves almost daily to...

Any Triumph motorcycle enthusiasts still around?

dartman2 @dartman2 (124) • Canada 30 Apr 08

I have owned a few Triumphs in the past and always loved the brand, the design and the feel of the motor as one accelerated the vertical twin with that beautiful sound from the pipes. The bikes I have owned at various times over...
