I definitely agree there. We have a Lowe's that's directly across the street from a Home Depot in Woodbridge. There are some things the one has better price/selection on, and the other is better for other things.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Depends what you're buying and who has the better deal/sale, and which one is more convenient to where you live.Lavabe wrote:Which is better:
Lowe's or Home Depot?

I despise that Christmas Shoes song for that very reason. Worst.Christmas.Song.Ever.bjornolf wrote:My dad and I are going through all the firsts this year. First Halloween without Mom.

You are not an idiot. You loved your Mom, and loss of a beloved parent is a hard thing to deal with, no matter what age you are. Anyone who can't understand, well, they've never suffered the loss of a loved one.bjornolf wrote:My dad and I are going through all the firsts this year. First Halloween without Mom.

It's not just you, and that PAINFUL song has been a sore earworm this year because they did it on GLEE.Bostondevil wrote:I think 'Last Christmas' by Wham is the worst Christmas song ever, but that's just me.
Cool! So glad to hear it! Smile purty nowCathyCA wrote:My dental procedure went well this morning. In fact, it went $1K better than I thought it was going to go. Because the dentist didn't have to do as much tooth prep, he knocked $1K off of his estimate.
I'm supposed to be napping now, but this is more fun.
I'll nap later.

They did make a few some time back. If I remember right, they would be 2008 or '07 year models. Unlike the Civic, they actually had a little power. They still haven't solved the lack of power problems for that Civic. I only remember, or can think of, one year of them (Accords). They must have had troubles.Lavabe wrote:Just now read that Honda abandoned all plans for an Accord hybrid.
The Accord hybrid was built for power, not mileage. I test drove one. It accelerated great, about the same or a bit better than the V6, but also got the same gas mileage as the V6 for an extra $4K, so they didn't sell worth didlysquat.captmojo wrote:They did make a few some time back.

Shame they did not get it right the first time. They made it a 260+HP V-6 at way over 30K instead of a 175-180 HP I-4 at about 26-28K to compete with the Camry and Fusion.Lavabe wrote:Just now read that Honda abandoned all plans for an Accord hybrid.
They did not sell well at all. Honda went for power instead of economy. Not many folks wanted to spend well over 30K for a car that got about 30 MPG when they could spend 22K and get an I-4 Accord that got 34 MPG highway. Or, spend about 26-27k for a Camry hybrid that gets 36+ MPG.captmojo wrote:They did make a few some time back. If I remember right, they would be 2008 or '07 year models.

Honda charges $800 more for the automatic tranny. I prefer a 5 or 6 speed. Just more fun to drive.captmojo wrote:I delivered 3 Accords Monday. Two were manual transmissions and one was automatic. The automatic had stickered $4000 and $2500 less than the others, nicely option equipped and displayed 34mpg highway while the straight drives were showing 33mpg.
Note...If I'm gonna spend that much money (over $22K), I expect the car to do the work of changing gears...not me.

Thanks! The storm may end up being nothing, but I'd rather get there a day early and not have to worry about it.CathyCA wrote:Safe travels!ArkieDukie wrote:Mom called today to tell me that there's a big snow storm coming and I should drive down tomorrow.
