Agreed. It seems to be getting better, though. I only listen to "Indie" stations so as to avoid Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears on a daily basis. ETA: Throw Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and others of that ilk on my list to avoid as well. ETA(A): To clarify, I'm referring to Top 40. There's some great stuff out there outside the mainstream...but mainstream music has blown chunks for a while...

QFT.

Hey! 80s music can't be all that bad since most of the new stuff clearly references the synths and electronics. Not to mention the past few years have been a rehash of some 80s trends...and frankly, I think the girls look hotter these days than they did in the 90s.

See, I think that Toyota Trucks should be shot, buried and forgotten because they are far less capable than the GM offerings, offer nothing more in terms of interior comfort/convenience, and yet they get worse mileage than the HUMMER vehicles.

Yes, and pocket-sized.

I'm in the states; my uncle found one for me and gave it to me. I honestly don't know where to find it; I suspect it will be more difficult since that's the dealer wholesale value book. They have a vested interest in keeping that on the hush hush...and they'll deny they know what it is if you bring it with you to the negotiations.

+!

My 01 Aurora (build date: Nov 99) was 7500, and it's a V6, no onstar, no traction control, no spoiler, no sunroof, but I do believe everything else. Since you're looking at the Pontiac, I'd try for 7k + tax. I mean, it doesn't even have a CD player. What you might want to do...go look at the Red Book--it's the guide dealerships use when they want to unload a car wholesale because it isn't selling on the lot.

Pre-Ordered.

Well, no matter what you're driving, if you hit a concrete wall at just less than 90mph you're pretty much f@#ked.

...who the f@#k is this "Borger" character?? I must've missed some drama during my sabbatical. Congrats Chris.

Reading the youtube comments, this is part of a video showing crash results at various speeds, and someone who's seen the video says this was the 140km/hr crash (~87mph).

Then get another one.

QFT Guys seriously--just give the man some space. If he wanted to post, he would. He clearly doesn't, and since myspace is the god of all knowledge, he's feeling pretty triumphant about it all.

That logo is going to have to change.

NOS, where do you find this $h!? And how much free time do you have?

Thing is, life happens. When you get a job and/or classes that are demanding you just don't have time to post; you're mind is just elsewhere. As a result, you don't think about it much if at all--hence no "Oops, I haven't posted at C&G for a while, I need to log on for five minutes and let them know I didn't fall into the toilet or anything." Posts like that just aren't that high of a priority. I guarantee you when I took some time off it wasn't like I was going through each day trying my hardest to enforce the self-imposed break on myself; I just got busy and didn't have the time. Plus, there's a little bit to be said for post quality instead of quantity--maybe Fly is preoccupied with life at the moment that he's out of the loop and just doesn't have anything insightful to say. Maybe when he has something insightful to say he will post. And to the guy who googled his name and got nothing: guess what? That means he's OK because if anything bad happened there'd be an obituary hit on his name. So you guys now know he's OK, just not posting, and can carry on.

Thank you.

With all due respect, I think what regal97 is saying is that sometimes things in life come up that take precedence over posting on C&G. He's not coming on here and posting that the site's worthless, but rather pointing out how ridiculous it is for people to mount a phone campaign to harass Flybrian and determine his exact whereabouts. Is the guy not allowed to take a vacation? Is he obligated to tell everyone here every time he won't be posting for a few weeks? Maybe his computer imploded--is he mandated to go to the nearest internet cafe to inform us of the situation ASAP? Gimme a break...people come and go from time to time, life happens, sometimes things happen that make a person feel the need to take a little personal time. But trying to track down his phone number and stalk his house is just ridiculous and frankly invasive. Just my $0.02

All at once, no question.

Why is everyone wanting his number to call him? It's pretty damn obvious to me that if he wanted to post on C&G he would. He hasn't, so maybe he has more important things going on in his life right now.

The hybrids are crazy quiet in parking lots, though. During idle/low speed conditions, there's no tire noise. I've almost walked out in front of one of my brothers' Prius before because I couldn't hear him coming out of the driveway (there's a tall hedge blocking the view from the sidewalk).

Because it was used/flown by members of the KKK and other people who fervently tried to halt the progress of civil rights?

Supermarket delis, though? I've yet to see it, and driving to Canter's just for some sliced corned beef is a little ridiculous.
