Then get the Chevy SS version, or get the GMC Denali. Face it, for the people turned off by the Chevrolet brand, a Pontiac isn't going to appeal to the vast majority of them for the same reason. Pontiac, as a clone of Chevrolet, has a very, very limited appeal. To make an entire brand out of sport appearance packages for Chevrolets (which is exactly what the Torrent is) is absolutely retarded. The market is tiny, and the actual customer base is even tinier.

Oh God...I just threw up in my mouth. But seriously, that's cool. What Chapter?

Yea OC and Nick, we gotta do a meet up soonishly. I'm free after May 7th until the 14th, and might be able to spare an hour or so after the 30th (April).

Dedication to GM means you buy GM, not that you shun anyone who does not. That's just being a douche. Frankly, this cult-like mentality among many people on this site is disturbing--guys, GM doesn't make the very best product for everyone's needs in every segment. So someone who switches does not need to be ridiculed or shunned--that's just immature and rude. THANK YOU!!

He has to be, because I thought "Tourag" in less than a second. Hate to break it to you, but the Torrent isn't really any sportier than the Equinox is, or the Terrain will be. The Cayenne actually has some serious performance upgrades, especially compared to the Tourag.

If I didn't have a billion projects to get done in the next few days I'd make the drive and go. Unfortunately, I just cannot. Boo!

That's what happens when a site is populated by blind fanatics.

I don't think the Corvette will ever go retro. Just a gut feeling.

Nervous about the ginormous rear blind spots...

Pfffft even getting rid of Oldsmobile didn't get me out of GM. I just bought pre-owned, though the new Buicks and Cadillacs are uber-appealing to me.

The only one of those I may not have read is "A Walk In The Woods," but it just sounds so familiar, so maybe I have. The others I definitely have, and I love them all except "Catcher." Not a big fan of that one. "Gatsby" is my favorite literary work, though. So amazing on so many levels. Who's your favorite Gatsby character? I find Daisy to be most fascinating/interesting.

That's because the C6 was designed before the more recent design trends became the standards: stronger, flatter, more angular lines, more upright front ends, thicker pillars, smaller greenhouses, etc. The C6 does look a little 90s...but it still looks damn good.

I never said it originated from toxic goo, but that it is a synthetic chemical, used as a food additive, which it is. Glucose and fructose do occur naturally in plants, especially fruits. But when you isolate those compounds, there's processing taking place. And when you combine them into HFCS, that's even more processing taking place. Fact is that fresh and natural is ALWAYS more nutritional than processed. And with recent evidence mounting, the combination of fructose and glucose into HFCS 55 has some negative metabolic effects. They make you gain weight. Now, you might get fructose and glucose in an apple, but you aren't going to have a link between apples and weight gain because the fructose and glucose are naturally-occurring in apples and enter your body with other things, like fiber and antioxidants. ETA: In order to create HFCS there is at least one genetically-modified enzyme required.

False. HFCS has been linked to low metabolism and obesity recently. HFCS is not "man-made honey." It is man-made, but it involves quite a bit of chemistry to obtain. It is not natural, and like most synthetic food additives, they are finally starting to realize that there are unintended health issues associated with it. Now you want to talk about sugar. Tooth decay? Please. Brush your teeth and you won't have that problem. I'm not even talking about the refined white sugar. That stuff is bad, just like anything with "refined, white" in its title. Natural sugar (think: Sugar in the Raw) is a lot less unhealthy for you than HFCS or even refined white sugar. Of course, it doesn't dissolve as easily as the refined sugars do, so manufacturers don't like using it as much. But don't think for a second that HFCS is just some innocuous "man-made honey" because it is not. That's like saying partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (trans fats) is "man-made lard." Our bodies were not made to process these synthetic chemicals, and as a result they have unintended health consequences that are worse than the natural alternative in almost every case.

Because the general public are collectively stupid and have such ignorance that they know not what is best for them. Why else do so many people buy prepackaged Hostess and Little Debbie pastries? They're too stupid to know that they should actually care about what they put into themselves. HFCS is really bad, and more and more studies link it to obesity in general. Sugar is much less unhealthy compared to HFCS. But hey, this is the society where many people still think sushi is "weird" and that Taco Bell is Mexican.

Oh yea, the Dublin Dr. Pepper is sooooooo good. I ordered a couple cases of that 2 years ago...yum.

Coca-cola? No thanks. Gimme an ice cold RC Cola any day of the week...

I really like it! What I like most is the unorthodox use of chrome...none of it completely surrounds the particular design element it's highlighting. And IMO it looks good.

I got into grad school, so no life plan for me for another 2 years. I was really stressing, though.

Truth. Everyone else is just a ploy for a photo op, or so it seems. I mean, I used to identify as Republican based on the stated principles of fiscal conservatism, and moderated social stances...but then realized that when taxes are too high, so they just need to be cut...where are they cut? Not for the low-middle income Americans. That right there is just greed, and I find it repugnant. Then as I've learned about history more, no wonder every minority in America goes blue. The Republican politics of the past 50 years have been fear-mongering and hate-driven. "Us vs. them," "slippery slope" arguments, an unfounded fear and distrust of science...I just can't go along with it. It all seems so self-preservationist at all costs, like the party wishes for the "good old days" forgetting that the 1950s have long passed us by.

Hopefully we never get there. We have an oil problem...so drilling out more oil from very environmentally-sensitive areas is not the answer. We need alternative fuels. Let's leave one of the few remaining places on this planet relatively untouched...

Work or intern, go to Theta Chi National Convention, throw some parties in the family's new outdoor kitchen/patio area, work out, and see my friends from back home.

Nice! I love the Phoenix area...

There isn't anything about this car I don't love. Simply stunning, inside and out.

The trunk opening actually looks fairly wide...
