What about HUMMER? Or are they no longer a GM brand? :P

Northie deleted one of the articles NINETY-EIGHT posted because it was a repeat posting of something Northie had posted earlier that day.

Do you really think the Bush administration will do jack sh!t about this? C'mon...let's dream some more realistic dreams here, like GM dominating product segments with competitive vehicles for the rest of the decade.

I got people I didn't like banned from a mall once. That was fun being close with the head of security.

Remember when NINETY EIGHT freaked at Northstar? That was...um...awkward. :adsd thread:

Sorry Petra, but we all did. Right up until you posted pix of yourself.

I just wanna know the demographics of C&G in this regard...

I want to know the demographics of C&G in this regard...

Here's something to consider...especially given the "stuck-in" look of the airbag light. Maybe the display unit is changing or some other minor change is occurring in that area so GM just put in a random part so there wasn't a big gaping hole there? It's happened before... And I think the AURA will get the piano black center stack upon intro...right? I'd wait until a later auto show to see the final production version. The new steering wheel is a plus, though.

Decent review, though I don't know why he didn't pick apart the interior. It really is substandard for its class...

HAHA!!! Stace, I think you're giving him too much credit with that. I think "Paper, or plastic" is much more appropriate. Plus there's no way to strike back at a consumer in that position!

Again I must ask...how ol are you? Because right now I am guessing about 17, and that's only due to work experience. You're acting more like 12. From what you have told us, you are a crook of the worst kind, and I personally hope I never eat in your restaurant because at this point I am afraid your customers will get their food spat on or worse just if you think they are giving you any lip whatsoever.

Very cheap-looking. What a tarnish on the Acura brand!

Uhhh...how old are you, again?

I'd like to see an ad showing an H2 bulldozing a bunch of lawn gnomes and pink flamingos in a suburban neighborhood with a blonde bombshell in juicy couture stepping out of it in some glitterati aviator sunglasses with the caption "Shiela: Suburban Warrior Princess." It would be funny as all hell.

Heh when I worked at Qdoba this summer we all gave ourselves huge discounts whenever we felt like it. The best was when we had to go into the walk-in to restock the coolers and we'd eat cookie dough just chillin in the boxes. Or when we'd make ourselves our own burritos and forget to charge ourselves for the queso and guac as well as all the extra salsa. Oh, yea...drinks were always free unless they were the Nantucket Nectars...management watched those VERY closely.

I think he's referring to the discontinued Shortstar V6

I'm getting my estimates from the fact that the San Andreas fault is "stuck" right now and that its big events are spaced on average 152 years apart, though it never happens on the average. The shortest interval on record was 57 years and the longest 250 years. The window for the next big one has been open for a while. All of this is from a geology class I've been in. This weekend we went on a little camping field trip and visited Palmdale and the fault among a lot of other places.

Hollywood is trashy. You will see a prostitute every 30 seconds. If not more frequently. Good people watching, but very trashy people watching.

Heh, O.C....I was thinking the same thing.

Because it is tastefully done.

Good article.

I do not understand why you and many, many other conservatives lump gay marriage in with pedophilia and bestiality. Heterosexual marriage is (except in one or two states) strictly limited to being between two consenting adults. I, and almost every other person in the country is fine with that for the obvious reason that marriage is an adult decision and should be made by adults. Gay marriage would also be strictly limited to being between two consenting adults. Animals cannot consent, and no matter how much think Fido wants it, no court of law will allow it. Animals cannot consent. Children also cannot consent. There are already age of consent laws in this country that are not in danger of being overturned any time soon. In most states, the age of consent laws say that children between 16 and 18 can have a sexual relationship with someone under 21, but not older than 21, because when kids date, stuff happens. Once that child turns 18, though...well we know what happens then. There won't be any more marriage of minors than there currently is today if gay marriage becomes a reality. One has no outcome on the other; they are two very separate issues, and child sex has a lot of psychological data for barring it. NO ONE who is not a pedophile would be "for" child sex and therefore child marriage. As for polygamy? There is less of a cogent argument against it, though one can argue that outlawing it has to do with the cutting down the spread of genetic diseases. Many Arab countries have genetic "epidemics" due to multiple wives and inbreeding. It all has to do with the separation of church and state. It isn't so much that it is Christianity being shown in public, it is if it is on government property or at a government sponsored event. Government cannot be endorsing one religion over another. When the government does this, people can, will, and in my opinion, should sue. It is all about equal opportunities for others. I am a Christian, but I know how awkward it would be walking around in an Islamic nation and having it thrown into my face constantly. I agree with Sandra-Day O'Connor on this one...government displays including religious iconography are only permisable if they are surrounded by other secular icons as well as other icons from different faiths and that a concerted effort to include every religious belief is made. Of course I would support all of those! What a silly question. I agree that it SHOULD have little to do with her support, but in Bush's eyes it had everything to do with it. Conservatives balked at her lack of experience and he tried to assuage them by explaining, "but she's an evangelical Christian!" That is what I find appalling. That the President thinks that her religion would and should be a factor in her decision-making, NOT her jurisprudence, is what scares me. As I said in my previous post, nominating Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court because she is an evangelical Christian is NOT something supported by me. However, I would have few qualms with her being nominated for her vast experience and legal expertise without regard to religion...but sadly that was not the case. I don't think that that is scary...it just means that our President is not doing a very good job representing the will of the American people. His presidency has swung American politics too far to the right, and in 2008 there will be a paradigm shift. Politics will hopefully go to the center, but may overcorrect and go slightly left. I hope it stays in the center; I don't like extremes, especially since most Americans are somewhere in the middle than either extreme. No problem.

That too. We are due for the "big one" any day now until it happens. Likely it will be closer to 2017, though it could be as far away as 2130. The geological window has been open, and one day it will happen. Hopefully not a 8.0+ earthquake either...

Love it!!
