Me too...its just that Im sick and tired of hearing about Greek Yogurt all the time. Im peeved that Greek ypgurt has achieved fad food status... Greek yogurt...its just a fad right now... Greek yogurt this and Greek yogurt that...dudes....its just yogurt that is strained longer...less water...its just....THICKER...BIG DEAL!!! I mean....I grew up on the stuff...my momma made her own yogurt to make her own tzatziki, and that is how I grew up on the stuff...its not because of the so-called health benefits...its just because that is how GREEKS eat thier yogurt and that is how Greeks make their dips...with THICK yogurt... And its not only us that eats yogurt this way...all of the bloody Middle East does so as well... OK....Im flattered that its actually called "Greek" yogurt....but it aint entirely Greek is alls Im sayin'.... Like I said....its a bloody fad... Besides..what else are they gonna call it? Lebanese yogurt? Syrian Yogurt? It just wouldnt catch on with the North American public...duh!

Two words: hand brake. Hell, even foot brake if you know how to master it.

That is truly sad. But I dont feel that bad for ya....My family has stopped being a RWD consumer since 1986....when my dad's 1979 Impala joined the great car heaven in the sky and he bought a 1986 Celebrity.... But wait...there was a time when I bought a used 1989 Pontiac Firebird. But it was the 2.8liter V6 Firebird... So...if I had to suffer all that pain....with Iron Duke FWD Celebrities and 140 HP High Value (was that engine family part of the High Value V6s? I thought this is the engine that made the others....in order...2.8 carb and multi port FI, 3.1 multi port FI, 3.1 SFI, 3.4, High Value 3.5, High Value 3.9) V6s...then you could suffer a similar fate as me...I curse you with ecoboost from Ford and all that FWD glory...dont forget the 2.3 ecoboost RWD Mustang....hey...its got more HP than that 2.8 Firebird...hell, the 1.5 ecoboost has got more HP than that 2.8....you really dont have it THAT bad!!!

Keep pumpin' that oil, buddy. We need to sell it to somebody. Somebody's gonna buy it. Our friendly neighbors to the south might have a change of heart... Until then...Sunday that is... Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday A Monday, a Monday is very very good Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday A Tuesday, a Tuesday in fact I wish you would Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday A Thursday, a Friday, and Saturday is best But never never on a Sunday A Sunday, a Sunday 'cause that's my day of rest That would be my Greek side acting up again...

Gotcha. And no...I did not think you were targeting me in any way....its just that I somehow needed to defend the Greek posts....for whatever reason... Its a car forum...not a political one, nor a forum about ethnics and/or minorities... So....I kinda felt that maybe...I may have crossed some bounds that should not have been crossed. Lets have some fun, why dont we!!! The Greek way! OPA!!!

Its stronger than I... I understand where you are coming from though. Believe me. Its just that, with what is happening in Greece...the Greek part of my Greek Canadian identity tends to over shadow the Canadian part lately. One thing us Greeks do, its we come closer when we are threatened by outside forces. Its part of our DNA. When all is good within our culture...we literally kill ourselves...but when some other culture tries to destroy us...we bond...very tightly... Persians found that out the hard way. So did the Romans, Turks, Bulgarians, Italians, Nazis. Sometimes, victory is swift with us, sometimes it might take 400 years...but we do prevail...and it aint pretty for our enemy.

EL K...you beat me to the punch with that steering wheel thing...but...I have to like it...Greek drama...it would be a ...tragedy...if I wouldnt like it... But it is a comedy with him always plugging M-B... Yes...pun intended with the red words...

So the 2 spoke wheel on the S-class is looking pretty good all of a sudden. Non one else does that. That reminds me of something...OH Yeah...Im Greek... Ancient Greek play masks! So yeah...cool! But...you said nobody does that two spoke thing... Ok....not exactly 2-spoke...but not status quo either.

I know...about the diamonds...I was trying to be funny...in a negative way towards our beautiful country. I LOVE Canada!!! Birks. taht is where I bought my wife's diamond ring. And yeah...Canadian mine. I forget which mine...but the ring came with a certificate authenticating it is indeed a Canadian diamond. Also, something about us Canadians NOT supporting blood diamonds. Whatever. (Just kidding on that) About the Hydro-Quebec stuff... True...but also...Hydro-Quebec sells it to the States at low enough prices, but sometimes, the Northern States dont use all the electricity they buy, so it gets redirected back into Quebec's pool, and when that happens..I believe, they sell it back to us at a much much higher rate than what we sell them... And I think...some Maine and Vermont consumers are peeved with Hydro-Quebec with that kind of business practice... OK...back to the GT350...

I missed this... We Canucks, we've got oil up here. And gold. Diamonds too. Well, those are in Africa that we control. Do we actually control some blood diamond mines, or did the Brits cut us out of that loop? It dont matter...we got diamonds in the souls of our shoes...always have. That is why throughout history...we ALWAYS have had HIGHER mother effin' prices that you Yanks down South on any mothereffin' product! It dont matter what product it is....Ive even heard Hydro-Mothereffin' Quebec sells our mothereffin' electricity CHEAPER to you North Eastern Americans than what we mothereffin' pay! Chill out dude! Here is a song to mellow you out!

I was thinking the same thing about a month ago. That is what happens when the supplier is the same dude for everybody and ALL the different manufacturers ask the supplier the same question: Manufacturer: "What is your cheapest steering wheel" Supplier: "This one, Sport Model #5, its our biggest seller. GM, FCA, Ford, Honda and Toyota uses it" Manufacturer: "OK...what does BMW, Mercedes and VAG use?" Supplier: " That would be the Sport Model 5b, there is an extra horn icon on the bottom of the airbag cap. The regular Sport Model 5 has two horn icons, the 5b has three for only a quarter more."

Sorry to hear about your loss, Wings. "and quickly put any past squabbles behind us and can now just hug and embrace and love, live and eat. And drink. LOL. It's sad that sometimes we wait until extreme moments to do so. Sometimes, extreme passion can swing your feelings in the wrong direction." Yup, in my family, we are experiencing the same things...but a death in our family has not happened yet so we could actually make amends...aint that a stinker? Cold mountain water....clean mountain water. Yeah...I miss Kephalonia. I miss her beaches. Greeks are many things Wings. Compassionate. Emotional. Tough. Funny. Friendly. Spiteful. And much more. And we do all these things in extreme. Its Great to Be Greek!!! Doncha think???!!!

What gives you that dumb idea? A Honda Accord is a nice car and all, but the TLX, for me at least, moves no emotional needle...in fact, it distanced me from being an Acura guy... I own a 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD, and I love everything about that car. ESPECIALLY the polarizing looks. I know those looks are not for everyone...but at least it was talked about, and you could spot one a mile away. The TLX, just like an Accord, gets lost in the crowd... The Lincoln Continental....whether you want to admit it or not...has presence. And if Lincoln gets the interior quality right, then its Acura that should fear Lincoln for Lincoln would probably surpass Acura in that all important hierarchy ladder...the Acura NSX is delayed again...and if Acura botches that launch just like Lexus did with the LFA...Acura's shining armor will get slightly tarnished...again... I know you want controversial posts....but this one is just...dumb. EDIT: I just read your post Drew on Acura....I agree with you, Acura aint going anywhere anytime soon. But if the Lincoln Continental is done right, the way we as fans want Lincoln to do it right, it could only be very good news for Lincoln.

It just hit me... A Camaro is on the verge to becoming...a "tuner" car. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously speaking though...I aint against the idea of a 350HP/350 ft.lbs torque twin turbo and intercooled 4 banger going psssssssss-psssssssss in the Camaro. Im actually excited to see the 2016 Camaro 4 cylinder's performance stats. Im actually awaiting to see what performance upgrades "tuners" will be doing to the Camaro and Mustnag' 4 cylinders turbos to see what performance gains they will garner. Especially in the Camaro where the 4 cylinder Camaro will be relatively light. And I want to see how that will stack up to cars such as the Subaru BRZ....maybe it might wake up Subaru and make the BRZ the true performance 4 cylinder car it should have been in the first place...

Yesterday you made you cry, today you make me jealous. Ive never been to Nafpaktos. I always crossed the Corinth canal to get to Patra or Kyllini to get to Zakynthos and Kephalonia. I had past friends that came from there though, and told me its a beautiful place. But then again...like you said in the Ford thread...Greece is paradise on earth... Its still August, so Im assuming European tourists are currently in full swing, Zakynthos will probably be swamped with young Italians....make sure to make a pit stop in Argassi if you want to see Daytona Beach Spring Break type partying...LOL!!! Ive never been to Samos....my mother-n-law comes from Rhodes, so Ive been there. And Santorini. Crete is where I wanna go next on the other side... Like you said yesterday...pos sto dialo kantadisame etsi? Translation: How in the hell did we end up this way? Both for us...and Greece's economy. Enjoy your vacation Wings. Do me a favor, in Zakynthos, if you can, and you are passing by the the northern tip of the island, look straight ahead at the other island that you will be seeing in the horizon (Kephalonia) and just whisper these words : "Andreas promises he will be back soon. With all of his family." Ill be toasting you with a shot of ouzo later in the day. Yia sou!

Now THAT is funny! You trying to burn an Oldsmobile down....not so much...I dont care if its a W-Body! Hell...even an Oldsmobile J-Car...one does not try to kill it with fire! Have some respect for the dead, if not for the oldest American car company and the TRUE father of the mass production automobile assembly line...automatic transmission...etc...

Great that I entertained you but not so great that I annoyed my Canuck brother... That is how he is lookin' at me right now... My Mom: "So Oldsy, how was your fist day in school today?" Oldsy: "Great! I made a new friend! We had a pushing and shoving match...but it all worked for the best in the end, mom!" Here...A W-Body...why? It replaced the G-Body!

dude...I dont care...its you that started this... Like what you like...the thing is...its kinda irrational...to be lookin at overhangs the way you do... I posted 4 G-bodies...and you had an aneurysm... and you are soooo worked up about it...that stick I mentioned...you buried it up your butt so far...it disappeared...Fabturbo fellow might have to install an intercooler after our convo... Listen man...I dont want to go further into this...you are an admin after all...the thing is...its quite unhealthy to be so hard up on a couple of inches of overhang...(no puns intended...honest... )especially concerning 1980s so called muscle cars... To boot...one particular G-Body is a very sought after muscle car...Darth Vader's ride...just to blend in with you...since both of you seem to be Comic con nerds... I aint a Comic con nerd. but I am nerdy in my own way concerning certain comic con things...Stars Wars is one thing...a mild Stars Wars fan...but Im a very WW2 geek...so... friends?

You think a G-Body is not balanced in its proportions? OK???!!! You said it best...You like what you like...and Ill like what I like...the thing is...I dont throw hissy fits over overhangs... PS: I dont want to do anything with that stick...especially when its been up your butt so deep. Yu could keep it...maybe you could share it with Fapturbo over there...looks like he needs a reason to continue fapping...the pics of the G-Bodies might have made his turbo lag...

Thanx for answering me. But...pretty strong overhangs...you know...for FWD... Less overhangs...considerably in the front...less so in the back...especially for FWD... But it does seem foolish to whine about front overhang yet accept it on your Intrepid where as compared to that Zeta car...your Intrepid still exceeds your standards by at least 6 inches...and is maybe not THAT much shorter on the G-Bodies... and the ultimate...and you cant get more ironic than this...and...you cant get more MOPAR machismo, RWD at that, then this next car... and the overhangs in this one are stupendous!!! Although I like your thoughts on overhang styling...I dont seem to be bothered by it...I actually like it and look forward to it...on some models.... As long as the overall product looks good on the overall picture is #alls Im sayin' Oh...some mid-engined exotics have whacked front overhangs too.... Oh look Porsche...modern Porsche because classic Porsche...is slightly less... it dont matter where the engine is located and what wheels are powered #is alls Im sayin'. I guess...its a bitch to be soooooo picky in life. Maybe we should start reducing the amount of times we stick a stick up our butts during the day. That way we could enjoy the birds sing more often...#justsayin' All in the name of fun...this post was. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I wanted to address his post...but I figured...a poster that either 1. doesnt have the courtesy to join our forums to engage in a discussion a) because he prefers doing the run and gun type posting b) posts once in a blue moon just to troll... 2. doesnt have the balls to actually confront, as a member, the posters he targets doesnt merit my precious time. I aint gonna waste good bandwidth on him....he aint worth all that aggravation and stupidity...

I love that 1999 Charger concept, but that I hope the Giulia platform to house a 1999 Charger concept look-a-like better be a stretched version, because the Giulia looks to be too short for that 1999 Charger...especially if FCA wants to get the right proportions to really make it resemble the 1999 concept. That 1999 concept is a long car.... And Im stoked for the return of a Barracuda. It says convertible...so Im guessing a Dodge Barracuda would be the convertible version of the next generation Challenger? Im OK with that... EDIT: http://www.autoblog.com/2015/08/26/barracuda-grand-cherokee-trackhawk-promised/ The link above states that the Barracuda will be offered in coupe and convertible form and will be smaller than the Challenger.... Im still OK with that. Im stoked with the new Charger...hopefully it will be as long or longer than the current generation and less bulky...more slender...like the concept...with the same proportions...that 1999 Charger concept is pure Americana...I miss those days when all American cars cars looked more or less like that....sleek and slender long cars with long hoods and short decks....and sometimes long hoods and somewhat short decks...but still technically longish decks...if you know what I mean... About the V8 part...I wish it would be a part of the Mopar mainstream performance card...but the way the automotive industry is going....I wont hold my breath....and if I continue living in Montreal (gas prices are high in Quebec)....I doubt Ill be a customer of a V8 car anytime soon either...

All C Class Mercedes... It has more to do with my personal group of friends than anything else. Like BMW 3 Series cars or BMW itself. Im luke warm to the W202. Hate the W203. LOATHE the W204. Im confused by the new W205. There are days where I think its the ugliest thing ever built, then there are days were Im admiring it...weird feeling.

Its a wonder why we even get along, CCAP. I hate the C Class Mercedes more than I hate your generation Mustang. I could tolerate your gen. Mustang, but that C Class is a no go for me. Like there is no way in Hades where Im gonna let up on my displeasure for the C Class. With the Mustang....at least there is the Bullitt Mustang and the Cobra R that I LOVE... Ill try to find middle ground 'cause I cherish your internet friendship and your posts. I really like me some M-B 190 E Cosworths....and the 190 in general. However, your former C Class looked good I must say...so there is that. I probably would choose your Mustang over your C Class if I had to make a decision.

Hyper....all your posts about the subject at hand about sums it up...quite nicely and elegantly I might add.
