Agreed and then plead temporary insanity. Pathetic legal system.

Just cause he was looney and the area he was living in was willing to ignor him is no reason to waste tax payers money on a murder. He was sane enough to buy a bus ticket and kill someone. PUll the trigger and put him down. Fry him or shoot him up with chemical cocktail to have hime go 6 feet under. The family of the murder victim should not have to have him get away with it and wonder if some day someone will think he is able to go back into society due to budget cuts.

I replied to this on the usa today web site when they posted this yesterday, I feel this freak should be locked up for life at least and in all honesty, I feel an eye for an eye. Why waste tax payers money. Take his life as he had no respect for the one he took, cut up and ate.

Personally I would still go for the outlet store from DELL and get a nice XPS unit with an ATI 512mb or 1gb video card. They will run what you want to play very well and do it with a warranty that only requires 1 phone call and then they will come out and repair / replace the broken parts if that happens.

DF, If you can find a clean used 3.2 or 3.5 with the trans, I would go for the matched set and enjoy it as a frugal swap. This will probably give you the least amount of trouble.

QUOTE (Satty @ Mar 5 2009, 04:04 AM) The 2nd generation S-cars. When all they did was a facelift instead of keeping the cars ahead of the competition, they sealed Saturn's fate. Second place goes to the Relay, first Saturn without polymer panels. I agree with the 2nd generation Saturn S-Series. I was in the market for a new car at the time and decided to give the then newly introduced 2nd gen Saturn SL a test drive. It seemed very crude and uncompetitive compared to some of the car's competitors that I test drove the very same day. I ended up buying a competitor's product instead. GM spent billions launching this brand to counter the Asian imports, but they didn't do much after that to ensure that the brand stayed current and competitive. It was a very expensive yet ultimately halfhearted attempt by GM to regain lost market share and customers. I still think GM would have been better off by simply making drastic improvements within their existing divisional structure; they should have tried "thinking outside" of their existing box instead of creating a troublesome new box that they weren't able to maintain or sustain. Creating a new division with its own accompanying dedicated factory and dealership body isn't required to engineer/design/build class leading products and improve/overhaul customer service. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I totally agree with both these post. At this point just sell it off or close it down, GM should have just focused on their core brands instead of thinking they had to build a whole new box.

Yes I would agree with only those 2 they need a smaller model and that would be it then. Pontiac would then fill in with their couple cars for the "EXCITEMENT" crowd.

Welcome back and congrates on the up coming Baby addition. Life is really going to become a fun roller coaster for you guys. Glad your back.

AWESOME DF, Thank you for sharing. Personally I love the snow and we got 8 inches over night in the foothills and mountains of Seattle. Gonna be a great weekend skiing. I will take everyones Snow as this also adds up to snowpack, AKA available water for the lands, drinking, lakes etc. So a good winter with lots of snow makes things awesome for spring and summer. Keep it Cold, Snow a fallen and keep your skiis tuned and waxed. Rock on!

Over all it is a nice sedan, be interesting to see what the public really thinks. In regards to Buicks lineup. I thought they were going to only have a few cars as would Pontiac as these would round out the truck / suv landscape of GMC, why they want the GMCBP dealership. But I could be mistaken. I think with the current economy and hardships for companies everything is up in the air now.

Very Interesting and a solid debate issue for our group. I personally like the look but needs a few tweaks and like DF said, it should be unique to the brand not a rebadge.

Good Luck DF on the engine swap Project. Take pictures and keep us posted as to the change out and details of the work.

Found a 1987 Monte Carlo Areo SS model with T top. If the price is right this might just be my next project.

Yup Grew up in Kirkland, specifically Totem Lake, went to Juanita High School and lived only 2 miles from Chateau St. Michelle which is across from Columbia. both have been there for ever. Great place to spend a weekend. Woodinville now has 44 wineries, you can get on the wine bus and tour them all and just pay your tasting free and munch on the free food and have a great weekend. That is a frugal weekend indeed. Great way to take a date out for fun time.

Back on the first page I included the link to the test in my post. Go there and you can take it.

Actually Monica has a clothing line and purse line that is selling and she went in 2006 to England to work on her masters. She has actually become very successfull on her own. Lately she did a boat cruise and here are more current pics of her. Not bad looking but has put some weight on. Keep in mind that her mouth could suck all including the balls in one shot I am sure. Another Julie Roberts type with that toothy smile, but would anyone pass on a free offer from her? Monica Lewinsky Cruise photos

I will agree with just about all that is stated here plus here is some additional input: Gewurztraminer is sweeter usually then Riesling. Both can be either dry or wet in their finish in the mouth. These wines will be fruity, on the sweet side and for most part very pleasing especially on a sunny day. If you want even sweeter wine, then you have the Ice Wine or late harvest wines. These will have even more sugar and the Ice Wine and Late harvest will also have a higher alcohol content but due to the sweetnes you will not tast the alcohol. Wine is all about preferance and tast. I would strongly suggest you visit a winery and listen to them explain the wines, ask questions and try both red and white to see what you really like. If you have more questions fire away, [email protected]. Here is a great winery, it happens to be local to where I live in Seattle and is frugal. They do have more expensive wines, but for beginners, you do not need to spend allot of money to get an enjoyable wine. 10 - 15 dollars a bottle can get some very pleasing wines. Columbia Winery Here is a link to a collection of books on wines and how to understand them. Some great info Wine Book Selection Have fun as wine drinking and collecting can be very fun.

thanks for pointing me to it, great story and build up from rust out situation. Hope it all continues to run well for you. Updated after seeing comment above. Sorry to hear you do not have it any longer. hope you find a new project that will rock your auto dreams also.

Interesting as I remember visiting my old High school and talking about career paths in the late 80's and I mentioned about that little software company in my backyard called Microsoft. Many students laughed, made fun and even some of the people I graduated with also made remarks about my choice of career. Course then into the 90's and I finally go to one of my highschool reunions and listen to a nuch of the people talk about how great it is to work for Microsoft and yet these were the same idiots who made fun of my choice before it was cool to be a nerd. Just chalk it up to being on the bleeding edge of society. At least it has been a very interesting journey.

Like Bill Clinton, i would have taken the BJ from monica too over Hillary doing it to me. In regards to her ability to work, I do respect them as they are well educated thinkers. It does not mean they always do the right thing but IMO they have done better than Shrub did for this country.

Would you want a Fix or Repair Daily in your driveway? I borrowed a friends F250 Super Duty, what a piece, and yet they lead in selling trucks. I will never understand that.

Yup that will buff out! Is that a Roadmaster edition station wagon? Good luck, looks like you got a nice clean up done so you can get going on the rebuild portion. in regards to all the others, there is that special cream they always sell at the auto shows that buffs out anything. I am sure it can buff out the million dollar Bugatti.

Not pot heads, just a knee jerk reaction to people hearing that GM might go bankrupt and lack of incentives to buy the auto's.
