You ever been to the hotel? It's in the Poconos. It closed down a while back.

I lived about 15 mins from there about 6 years ago. I would guess it closed down because of all the other resorts that popped up in that area. They have a Great Wolf Lodge and a casino in the Pocono's now.

It's always a trap.

philisophically, you are correct, performance is not everything, but by that same logic, neither is appearance.

That said, the Juke is definitely a face only a mother could love, and even then itd probably be put up for adoption.

Juke is ugly, almost as ugly as the Cube

hah! the cube looks like a washing machine.

That wrap around window is just freakin' weird. Sorry to those who may have one, I don't mean to offend, but seriously, what the hell was Nissan thinking?

The cube is actually pretty popular in foreign markets with congested cities, where small cars with interior space, and clever storage sell well. "trendy" is what i think they were shooting for, but fell short and landed on "peculiar"

It may have sold well overseas, but, I didn't think it'd go well stateside. I do have to admit it is certainly unique, and it definitely sets it apart from all of the other toaster-ovens-on-wheels out there.

I'm probably part of X race, and I honestly had no clue that you were supposed to tip in hotels, until recently.

almost any hotel, honestly. we get some good ones at the Cookie Tree (got a $10 tip earlier tonight)


btw, the cookie tree is actually a Double Tree. we call it that because when we deliver there, we get cookies

It's rude to tip in Japan. I dunno if that's true for other Asian countries.

Although I have a feeling it's a different race you're talking about. >.>

General Ackbar would agree.

Yup, it's customary to tip at hotels. Maids, bellhops are typically a minimum wage jobs or less in certain cases. I know waiters/waitresses can make less than minimum wage due to certain laws so they typically depend on tips.

and from the posts, it sounds like y'all think i'm working in a hotel. i just deliver pizza to customers who are staying in the hotels.

also: when people order online, then argue that we brought them something they didn't order...i want to taze them in the face

I'm not sure on that, in China tip is a non-existent concept, and if you try to give tip you'll get a "I'm not allowed to accept that".

Hey @Dimman, someone on ecomodder suggested extending the stock top with cloth...cloth flying buttresses :O This should be extremely easy with some silicone glue (I am too lazy to sew the edges are you kidding me, silicone should be strong enough) assuming there exists some kind of awesome double side tape that I can plaster all over the first section of the roof. Another question is what cloth...anyone know if a tailor would carry some kind of heavy duty polyester cloth? A quick spray with rubber sealant and then spray on vinyl paint (vinyl base) should make it pretty weatherproof methinks.

So maybe these ragtops aren't all bad afterall...

I'm also making a spoiler, what material do you think I should use? I'm currently thinking balsa wood since I could just sand it down to the shape I want...

A compliment of sorts, more a crude warning.
