i think the next jewerly wise thing she will be a ring.... not right at at the moment but pry not too far off.

i am thinking about getting her just a gift card. might be a visa one she can spend anywhere. she has alot she needs and i dont buy clothes. i dont like messing with sizes. that seems to be what she wants the most.

Just my opinion.....
Packers are gonna fall apart now that they lost to the chief's Seriously tho the NFL needs to do something about the officiating. There have been some terrible calls this season. There are a lot of missed calls you can see when the show a replay. I understand it's a lot harder in real time but they are supposed to be the best.

Hey chris, as zach said fuel filter maybe. Definetly check the air filter, mine was a gas hog when i first got it until i changed it. I'm getting 18-20mpg city with the 3.1 Maybe a new set of plugs might help, throttle body cleaning might aslo help mine was a mess.

Thanks, for what it's worth, I'm not too concerned, but I drove it with a half tank of gas about 25 miles and the gauge was pretty low! I know the gauge is pretty goofy in it also, maybe if the weather isn't to bad I'll do some tune-up work on it! That's a Big Maybe...... It wouldn't be a bad investment though....

Of all things check the air filter, if its clogged/dirty and you get a new one you'll see a nice change. And thats like a 5 minute job

When i didn't fill my car the gas gauge played games with me, now it usually doesn't. i'm so annoyied that an L67 can get 30+ mpg highway when i get 25. and lou funny you mention pandora bracelets, the girls i was with tonight were going from jewlery store to store looking at em.

where is the fuel filter, can I access it without dropping the tank? It's kinda funny when you read so many posts and then you actually need something fixed and all of a sudden you can't remember the fix for it.....
