If a 5-10 hour surgery comes off without a hitch, you might want to consider thanking Jesus that it did.

Without the surgeon there wouldn't even be a chance of the person living at all. If your only choice left was for a surgery or laying in bed praising for Jesus what would you choose? Exactly.

You can't act like everything that happens after the surgery table is Jesus's work.

Anyways, i'm not trying to step on anybody's toes here and im sorry if i offended anybody

Not offended at all... just pointing out that it's hardly uncommon for surgeons and docs to screw up - happens all the time. In one case I was involved in, the ob/gyn left part of the placenta inside the woman after she gave birth. She went back complaining of complications once a week for six weeks and he didn't bother to examine her. She finally went to a different hospital and doc and the 2nd doc discovered it... about 24-48 hours before she would have died. She required an immediate complete hysterectomy to save her life... right in the middle of her child bearing years.

OT, I know, but numerous studies show that - whether God is real or not - faith in God is beneficial to people. It could be a placebo, but if it helps, then why knock it?

My argument is just giving credit to where credit is due, that is all.

I've owned two cobras. It would never be a regular mustang. I actually pretty much set the last one up to open track and my buddies still give me a hard time about selling it.

End of the day it came down to the fact that it is a HORRIBLE daily driver and completely impractical.

The FRS will get a supercharger eventually, rims and brakes and some lightweight goodies. The car will continue to get good gas mileage and be livable and comfortable on the street, which the cobra was not. It was just better suited for how much I drive.

Purchased a 350z and now am a proud owner of an fr-s most fun I've ever had driving.

I have not shut up about the BRZ for the last month and a half. Everyone at work hears me talk about it and none of them are car guys except for one of my best friends on line, he is an older guy in his 40's He loves american muscle, he thinks Miatas are Girl cars. but he is not dumb, and he knows the BRZ is better for the type of driving I want to do.

I even have my Subaru Brz song that I sing many times a day because I work on an assembly line and am ADHD as hell.

"I want a Subaru B-R-Z.
It is the bestest car you See.
A turn of the key fills you with glee,
but the girls won't play with your pee pee"

So My team leader says when I mention I want a BRZ. "YOU ARE SO LAME FOR THAT!!! SOOO LAME!!! WHY DONT YOU LIKE THE GENESIS? GET A WRX ITS AWD AND AWD IS BETTAH "

Why caps? he was pretty much yelling. He has no concept of an inside voice.

And of course everyone thinks Mustangs and camaros and chargers are the end all be all ...

I havent even bought the car yet and people are already telling me what I should buy.

My friend brought his new Fiat Abarth over, he said every toyobaru owner is jealous of the exhaust sound. And it is a nice sound, it's all fizzy and a nice sound, the car is great too, nice roomy interior, and I could lean the seat all the way back and it was still a comfortable passenger riding position. It was so fast, I wasn't expecting the turbo bubble and when it hit that car was a rocket! Plush suspension handled potholes, great city car.

Yeah the sound on the abarth is great all the time, just sounds fizzy, barking, and a little drunk and loud, but it doesn't have any of the top end scream of our NA toyobaru.

And the shifter in our BRZ/FR-S is so much better than the Fiat's - it was plush feeling, but too soft and vague, shifting 1st - 2nd felt like it was a mile away.

My first car was a 90' Plymouth Laser 2.0 NA. I thought that car was the fucking tits even though it was a total piece. pop-up headlights ftw
