you sound like my mom ms. pint. she is like 4ft 11 and told us that the economy seats in airplanes were too small, so she would only sit business or first class.

the Z's interior is ample big for a sports car, imo.

the fiat is a useless car. abarth is kinda cool, but still only as fast as my fit 5MT.

I'm just lazy!

Nah, that's good though. Running = awesome, unless you're like me and push too hard to where you feel like your chest is going to cave in.

hell, i was fat at one time. i literally stopped eating all the snacks, skipped lunch, etc. i lost the fat.

like how ive not had any hagdaz or m&m peanuts even though i could kill for some right now.
Yup. I know exactly what you mean. I don't worry about it when I work through lunch, cause I can usually stand to skip a meal or two. When I am eating bad and/or too much, too often, I recognize it and cut back. We used to buy and drink tons of sodas. We stopped for 2 weeks, and its been a few years since we actually bought sodas to stock our fridge. I don't drink them except with fast food or occasionally if they're provided for free somewhere. I lost 10 lbs the first week, although my wife was pissed cause she didn't lose but 3 lbs at the very end of the 2 weeks

That's pretty much all I drink is soda.

I think it's key to fast metabolism's... caffeine raises the heart rate, therefore more calories burning.

Duh, totally accurate and scientific right there. Just call me Dr. Haboob.

unfortunately the allergies has worsend in the last few days... i start coughing and sometimes sneezing the moment i step outside. even in the garage i sound like im choking to death. so im going to pass on the bike for now.

wat kind of soda do you drink, cause you can still become diabetic with too much sugar intake even if you appear you are in shape.

i only drink diet pepsi. no more hagdaz, no more icecream, no more m&m peanuts. i now dont even eat a whole charburger (i cut it in half and give it to my kids), my cheeze fries... i only eat like 10pcs. middle age sucks...

I only drink Dr. Pepper.

However, that's about all the sugar I have really. I'm not big on sweets, in fact I rarely eat candy, cake, pie, etc.

yah, the seat could use a tad more side bolsters for me too. but i only street the car and most of my streets are straight, i like the look of the base cloth seats, so im going to leave it alone for now.

i was thinking about getting some aftermarket seats since i had that popping/sliding driver seat (TSB), but i fixed that with my socket and mallet so it's been good.

lol I was just like that at your age. I drank excessive sodas (typically 3+ but as many as 5+ as day sometimes ) and did not gain weight.

that is one warped view of the metabolism right there

Yeah, I like the cloth seats, and considering price and that I DD and don't track, I'm not looking at seats any time soon. I hope to someday relegate the Z to fun car and get a different DD, so it would make sense to wait until then for mods like seats and suspension.

that's good. one xmas break like 8-9yrs ago, i was chomping down on m&m's peanuts, hagdaz icecream, and drinking colacola classic. in 2wks i gained like 10-15lbs and when i got back to work my boss was like 'wtf happened to you ken?! ' i was like

i asked my wife and she said 'yah, you do look kinda plump.'

im like why didn't you tell me?! immediately gave all the 2lbs bags of m&m's i had to the taffyapples at work, gave away all the colacola to my neighbors, and told wife not to buy icecream until im ready again...
