I guess you could say conservative in their lifestyle and politically. I'm super liberal (at least I would like to think) so I don't necessarily agree with everything they do, but it's not like I scorn them for it. They scorn me for it, and that's irritating.

And yes, they are SUPER nice people and they mean well. But they almost have this "brainwashed" quality about them that kind of freaks me out...

I'm a mix. Liberal conservative/liberal - more liberal though. Gary Johnson got my vote!

I'll just stick to being a naturalist when it comes to my food and cooking, bargain hunter like mad but staying with the times and enjoying life, and not having a religion in my life but having good morals.

Exactly. I get the brainwashed zombie thing from them a lot. Mormonism is a weird, ass-backwards religion. It does condone positive connotations, though, which I appreciate a lot. My ex sister-in-law is Mormon (which is ironic, considering only 4 years ago she was drinking, smoking pot constantly, partying, and getting done in the butt by a 6"5' British dude named Xavier. No exaggeration).
Most of them have lived their entire lives in religious seclusion, and aren't aware/socially conscious of other people, so their naivety is what hinders their social interaction, I think.

I have a mild political opinion. There are things I agree with, and things I don't. I represent a neutral standing more than anything. I do tend to lean more liberal than anything, but I'm definitely not liberal 100% haha.
I agree on the religious aspect. It freaks people out when they find out I'm atheist, so I try not to bring it up...

I wouldn't say I'm full blown atheist. I was raised Apostolic Christian, very simliar to the Amish. When my grandfather, who is a minister of the AC religion came to me in 6th grade telling me that I need to get baptized and give myself to the Lord, I was like, "OK, sure". He then said I had to drop softball and swim team.

I tooked at him and I s*** you not, "Pawpaw, God doesn't ask me anywhere in the Bible to give up my extracuricular activities to please Him." He was stunned and smiled, knowing I was right. He told me do what I feel is right. I cried to him, told him I'm sorry, and dropped the church...never stepped foot into that church again.

All I know that in this life, if I make good choices, don't kill or hurt anyone, and take care of my life and anyone associated with mine, good things will happen. I dont' worry about when I die, b/c there's no evidence of what happens after death, so why waste time when I can be enjoying life?

That's essentially dead-on to my thinking. I just don't believe there is a deity in the sky, or in the ground, or an afterlife.

I've had a wonderful morning after my starter took a dump on me. How are you all doing today?

keep a hammer and a socket extension in your car

I should, but now its in the shop and its gonna be about 230$ for parts and labor.

f**k that. Buy one for half that with a lifetime warranty at O'Reillys and install it yourself.

 

[TokyoSkies]

f*** that. Buy one for half that with a lifetime warranty at O'Reillys and install it yourself.

Bingo. If I paid for the labor I've put into my car, it'd be more than the car is worth...

This is the first time I let a shop do work on my car in a long ass time.

Seriously!! When I did my swap AND my bottom end rebuild.... The only labor I paid for was the crank micropolish and rod machine and that was 50 bucks...

Pricey to maintain and piles of s**t. Gorgeous and I want a slew of them badly. Buy only the newer ones and with warranty.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Oh and that's what all my audi friends say too. If I had the credit to get the rate I want on one I'd ditch acura and buy audi in a heartbeat.
