I would agree with Captian on this, great options. Captain, what did you think of that SSD Computer Demo?

We'll I do not know how big you are if in tall or wide, but as a Tall person, 6'6" and 275 so a bit of width, I have always and always will enjoy my SUV's and trucks. Now with that said, you mentioned a fun bang for your buck that is NOT a Truck. New Trailblazer AWD SS. Trust me that vehicle totally rocks. Get it black, and have the polished wheels black chromed and make sure to Limo Black out the rear windows and 50% tint on the driver and passenger side front doors and you have a wicked fast ride. Course then you can go back later and add a supercharger or many other performance parts that only make it better. Course you could also go for: Denali SUV Luxury on the cheap but strong V8 for fun which can be kick ass if you add a magna charger to it. Buick Enclave can be allot of fun, add on of the turbo chargers to it to spool up and smoke. Dodge Durango RT, they are very cheap and rock with the Hemi. Jeep GC SRT8 Think mid size CUV / SUV or full size SUV and go for the custom fun factor. Personally I think you cannot get a better package than the Trail Blazer AWD SS!

Personally, we will see GM go down in one form or another here in the US, but over all a much differant GM will emerge by the end of this year. Wether or not they take advantage of being able to do real change or not will be the thing to see. IMO I think we will either see a GM that comes back much stronger and changed to survive and grow or a baster version that will limp along and die along with many other American dreams and will only be talked about in the history books as a lesson to learn of what to do and not to do in Business.

:rotflmao: Too funny that we covered this not long ago. But Times change and for that I will say that I still Feel DELL OUTLET Store is the best place to get a screaming deal on a solid desktop or laptop. Dell Outlet Store Link to Refurbished cheap systems! DELL has great deals on new computers too, but since like all retail and web based stores if they ship a product out and it is the wrong one and returned, even if the box is never opened they have to sell it as Refurbished. The outlet store has some amazing deals on computers and monitors, especially the 19 to 30" 16x9 HD type monitors. There is NO REASON for anyone not to be working on a 19, 21 or 24 inch flat panel monitor now. If you are a HOT DOG and like to build systems, then that is a fun experiance to do, If you are really looking for speed, then consider SSD drives. Expensive but worth every dollar. Check out this SamSung sponsered build up that used 24 SSD drives (SSD = Solid State Drive, NO MOVING PARTS, FAST AS LIGHT) 6TB SSD Raid SuperComputer Desktop system This bad boy was built with Dual Quad Core CPU's, Dual Video Cards, High Speed 800MHz Ram and of course the Raid set 6 terabytes of storage. Amazing Fast, I love the stress test of 53 heavy duty applications loaded in 18 sec and O'h by the way did I mention that it runs 2GB of data per second throughput? Watch the Video, very informative, you can pause at the end to get the details of the exact parts they used to build this system. This computer would last you easily 5 years and realisticly get you up to 10 years of use. Under stand that it would be an expensive computer but due to the longer life you get out of it, would pay for itself. Keep in mind that no matter which way you go, build your own or buy from a retailer or webtailer, Memory is a cheap way to have the machine performe best. You can get a slower CPU and have 4 GB of ram and still perform equal to and in some cases better than a person who bought the fastest CPU and only got 1 or 2GB of ram. Same goes for storage, best to get a bigger drive than you think you will need as everyone always ends up using up the space. Good Luck! Always fun getting a new Computer!

Saw PUSH over the weekend and that movie Rocked! Actually sat and watched all 3 High School Musicals. #1 was good, #2 was corny and #3 was passable. Wife loved them as did the daughter so over all I earned BIG Brownie points for watching them with the ladies. Watched Transporter #3 last night, really liked it. Good action flick. Watched Presidio last night also and that movie rocks. I pretty much watch at least one movie each night, a way to wind down for my wife and I after a busy day. Will post what we watched tomorrow. For those who like Shawshank, you should watch the Pelican Brief, that is another awesome movie.

DAMN How can they let them destroy so many nice muscle cars. Over all I enjoyed the first 3 and am very happy the original crew from the first one is back for this 4th installment and it is more focused on American Muscle than just Ricer cars. So damn excited for April 3rd!

My son said even at 3 hours long this movie rocked and that it was very faithful to the book. Going to watch it this weekend. Guess the Big Blue Dong is for the woman viewers!

Must be the hang over from the GOP days of yor. :rotflmao:

Nope I think you are wrong, if you go out to autoblog and look at the pic of right behind the car you will see the lights do match this, what is missing is the black trim around the lights as to why they look differant. DF, thanks for the updated post, that is great if it was saved by Mopar Performance. A dying shame if they truly crushed this car.

Personally IMO WHO CARES! I know some would love the polo, but then this site is about GM and if GM does not see a need for a car like this then we do not need it, Right?????

Defecation

Interesting, Will take a Wait and See attitude!

Damn, That is a HOT Looking Convertible, So MUCH BETTER than the Muttang. Shame, I hope someone ignores the Legal bots and stores it in a barn to be recovered years down the road and restored. Why could GM sell their only Duramax Diesel Suburban at auction and Chrysler could not? Hell GM has sold so many prototypes, I agree with many post that collectors would take full liability to buy this bad boy.

QUOTE (Dodgefan @ Mar 18 2009, 08:21 AM) The front end changes are a big improvement IMO. +2 I would agree, was never a fan of the big Chrome Helmet type look. I like the reduced chrome bumper look, the opening for the oil cooler is a much improved enhancement. I would say it would be beneficial for even current owner to buy the newer bumper and put it on their truck to increase cold air cooling. This should rock, I will be looking forward to the GMC version also. Funny on the web link page how many people talk smack about GM and that Dodge or Ford are superior and yet I have read more issues about the reliability of the Ford Powerstroke Engines and a few about the cummins. Yes there are even a few things about the Duramax, but overall, this engine is far superior in many ways including how quite the engine is compared to the competition. Love the boost to 700 Foot pounds of torque.

Yea Right, CATS, Lick themselves and then throw up all over with smelly dirty hairballs. They have been proven to be one of the dirtiest animals. I will stick with Kids and dogs. They are much better.

WOW, that is cool, but allot of work for you by May unless you have others that are going to help. Good Luck.

YES, us Germans do like those places!

SWEET That is a cool web site, Found my lovely Camero already.

No this will not happen until one of two things, Buick gets sold off to be independant or gm actually does survive and focuses on Buick to get the product line up and running even better. I suspect the independant option as of now.

I totally agree with you DF.

I got some of the shell gas with nitro and did not really notice much of a differance. The auto still ran smooth and fine.

I like this, if they have a Hybrid version in AWD then my daughter just found her new Vehicle.

Everyone needs to keep in mind that if you have been an active athlet over the years, the body remembers and jumps back into shap faster than a person who never worked out, then in their mid 30's see an over weight person and decide to go to the gym to get in shap. With that you have to accept that only time will show you the final results. like Carbiz says, a few weeks will tend to throw off some water and get a few results but it will be easy to put it back on and then some if you do not plan LONG TERM. body drops in the first 30-60 days water weight and easy burn fat cells. Days 60 to 120 the body is not sure you will stay with it so it goes into hybernation mode and trys to store everything. Say with cardio and weight lifting as after about 100 - 120 days your body as long as it continues to get proper nutrition will start to drop weight again and this is when you start to see real gains. Plan for around 1200 to 1800 calories per day as most people in the 5'4" to 5'10" range only need that many calories a day and you will drop the weight and see changes. Goal is even when you do not feel good, unless you have a fever, you should still go and do 30 min of cardio, your body doing a lighter work out is better than no workout and you will still burn calories and ton. Good luck to all who love to work out.
