Car Update. (Oct 27 2003 16:59 GMT) - I have to state, once more, that State Farm has really impressed me. I picked up my rental car this morning (I could have picked it up Saturday, if I wanted to find a place open past noon), and they're paying enough a day to get a mid-size four door, wh |

Pre-Season (Oct 27 2003 16:57 GMT) - Seriously not much going on.

Earthquake weather. For the next round. |
