pesty shytty Kadri... He doesnt deserve, no human deserves the racist shyte and death threats he and his family got from so called fans. If you could even call these folks as fans. But he does need someone to fix his little red wagon as was said once upon a time ago. A couple of his hits were actually accidental and part of a legit hockey play. But a couple of others, not so much.

Oldshurst to CCAP: "Maybe you could join the IRL like most of your hockey team... " CCAP reacts:

Cant argue there. I mean, like how you and Robert have stated. The...physical part of growing old and all that comes with ageing. The eventual physical and mental deterioration kind of stuff. But...what keeps ME alive and reminds ME of being young is NOT having to drive around in clunky, boxy, crappy SUVs... because MY body is still vibrant and youthful. Oh...and my mind still thinks like Im a 15 year old. Sometimes like Im 21. Sometimes like Im 31 or 41. Ask my wife. She will even tell you I sometimes behave like a 2 year old!!!

It was over before it even began. And if you were delusional about the Bruins actually beating the 'Canes, it was over when Domi scored in the 1st. Bruins never had a chance. I was wrong about the Bruins losing 4 straight or in 5. But I knew the Bruins didnt have that 2nd line center to make a deep play off run. They ran into the 'Canes round 1, they didnt have a chance to get past round 1. That much I knew. Therefore, I was happy that the Bruins actually made it to a game 7. Now Im sad because I dont know what Bergeron will do. Lace it up for another year or retire. I wont be sad if he decides to retire, because he gave hos body and soul to the team, Ill be sad to never see him play again... I dont think he'll sign elsewhere. I think he will call it quits.

There was once upon a time when shooting it up about cars surfin' the webs was an actual thing. Eons ago, many posters were posting and chatting up fun little thread games. I done a lot of soul searching during these little thread games and learnt a lot about what kind of cars I truly liked and disliked. I also learned a lot about cars I didnt know existed and other times, simply had forgotten other cars that did exist. Many different points of views were shared. It truly was a blast. Anyway, I was just thinking about wagons the other day, and I posted this exact post in an attempt to resurrect a thread. The post went through but didnt make it. Long story short, I copy/pasted it here with an edit for an explanation. Anyway... I have learnt that I am not much of a wagon guy, but over the course of 120 years or so of the history of the automobile, there have been some wagons that I wouldnt mind owning to chauffeur my wife and kids around lugging our family's crap around. I dont remember all the wagons I chose in those threads but these 5 wagons I know I truly liked then and I still like in 2022 and I know I will always like. 1 2 3 4 5

I was waaaaay off. Bruins survived and onward to game 7. Whowoodathunk that? Many 'experts' thought that apparently. They would STILL be wrong tho...

There was once upon a time when shooting it up about cars surfin' the webs was an actual thing. Many interesting things I learned during this time. I have come across a topic like this one about wagons several times. I have learnt that I am not much of a wagon guy, but over the course of 120 years or so of the history of the automobile, there have been some wagons that I wouldnt mind owning to chauffeur my wife and kids around lugging our family's crap around. I have done that soul searching research eons ago when many posters were posting on fun little game threads what seems like a different time...and possibly a different place. Not really, as fun little thread games happened here too... I dont remember all the wagons I chose in those threads but these 5 wagons I know I truly liked then and I still like in 2022 and I know I will always like. 1 2 3 4 5

I like the TourX. I prefer the Regal. But, I prefer the previous gen by a looong shot, even though the previous gen was smaller and stubbier looking. I truly truly liked this gen. I still prefer the Impala of this era over both

Common David... Stop trying to sell. Nobody is buying it. 1. Germans are NOT tiny people. And German OEMs do actually engineer their cars for their home market first. 2. At 6'6" tall and a body builder, a serious and pure body builder at that, you are definitely amongst the BIGGEST and LARGEST of us humans. A human with less muscle mass and less vertical height than yourself does NOT constitute tiny. 3. What Im trying to say is that, YOU do NOT represent the average human height and build regardless if you are of German decent. Germanic folk are amongst the biggest of humans and you tower your fellow Germanic folk. Therefore you reserve no right to stipulate that certain German cars (Porsches) are built specifically for tiny people. Its not that people smaller than yourself are tiny. Its just that YOU are HUGE. I, at 5 foot 6 and half inches tall...cant even bee considered tiny. Im tiny to YOU, but Im just slightly smaller than average human height. But to ALL humans ALL across this planet, YOU are a beast of a man. Its all perspective, sure. But YOUR perspective of certain German cars (Porsches) are built specifically for tiny people is SERIOUSLY flawed. To put it mildly...

He seems so cramped and UNcomfortable trying to LOOK comfortable, the whole scenario looks like it could be a Charlie Chaplin comedic act

Yeah, ugly. But, you could get in and out of it with ease...

Isnt that the Avista of half a decade ago? Yeah, sure. I LOVE it even. But it was just a styling exercise. On CUVs. The sedan that had that Avista face was bought out by a French conglomerate when GM got rid of Buick's German mother, Opel.

Yet Acura still produces this sedan without slowing down. And Acura continues to fine tune it for enthusiasts. And funny enough, Acura re-introduced a fan favorite. I am not saying if it is any good or a worthy successor to its legendary ancestor. Just that Acura is more in tune to give an enthusiast a car an enthusiast craves as compared to Chevrolet. Chevrolet is more in tune to produce what the general market is leaning towards. Acura is (and even Honda) is geared more to the enthusiast regardless what you WANT to see at a Honda/Acura dealership... Thee ILX is just replaced by the Integra. And let us not forget that Acura also sells this: And Honda has concepted these 2 little EV guys 2 years ago. Both NOT CUVs but actual cars. Coupes even... Yet Chevrolet is STRONGLY hinting that the Camaro will BECOME an EV CUV. I woudnt have the idea that Acura builds mundane pods if I were you... They maybe ugly, but they ARE geared for the enthusiast. To boot, they produce enthusiast vehicles that some of us actually could call them cars and NOT utility vehicles...

Can I call these the Boston Bruins edition Mustangs instead of the Hertz Editions? Dont care, these are the Boston Bruins Mustangs from now on! Perfection Perfection Line

Seems like the Traiblazer SS could handle evasive maneuvers just fine. But the (tried and true, simple) tech involved: There are stiffer springs, shocks, and bars, not to mention firmer bushings all around and a 9.5-inch rear axle with limited slip, plus thicker front rotors and Corvette pads. Around the C/D handling loop, the SS proved flat, stable, able. All the stock TrailBlazer's squirming body motions have been erased, ditto the squirmy steering. makes the Trailblazer SS for a very rough ride as a daily driver: The suspension doesn't transmit small displacement jitters, but if the front wheels catch a frost heave at the same moment, prepare to be snapped to attention. The condition of your local roads may well determine whether you can live with an SS. Im sure @David will tell us that he has no problems with his Trailblazer SS. And I will believe him. The thing is, I wouldnt be able to live with the Trailblazer SS as a daily... Why? Well, I doubt Seattle, where David lives, has the pothole, crappy street problem that Montreal has... Its OK if he thinks in his own mind, that I would enjoy such a stiff suspension ride, he dont live in Montreal. I do though... As far as the Chevrolet SS goes vis-a-vis the Trailblazer SS. David prefers his Trailblazer SS over the 4 door sedan equivalent. And for me its vice versa. Still though, a ride height higher, ground clearance that is higher and weighs 500 pounds more...the sportier ride GOES to the Chevy SS. To boot, the Chevy SS has magnetic shocks that could make the sedan drive like its on air as compared to the jolting ride the Trailblazer SS ONLY offers... If I lived in an area with much much less snow, and I wouldnt have to sell a lung each time I had to fill up the big V8 up front, the Chevy SS would get my money EACH and EVERY⌚ Yes, David. Enjoy your SUV. But that statement is sooooo phoquing wrong... Now...in the North American market, pure sedans like these are gonna be expensive, but CUVs are slowly going in the reverse direction, in that EV CUVs are slowly becoming more sedan like again in the EV world... And Im sure Acura, or another auto enthusiast maker will introduce pure sedans and coupes for the sane people out there that dont wah wah wah about getting in and out of cars. (sorry @ccap41, I need to needle him somehow...)

you didnt see the video, didnt you. These are speeds that some cars orr SUVs fail at 40 MPH. enjoy your SUV, that is fine, just dont try to sell me the idea that a heavier, taller, higher center of gravity vehicle, especially one that does NOT benefit from ANY stability control devices such as your now ancient Trailblazer, is somehow not a roll over candidate. Especially compared to a vehicle that is a sports sedan WITH modern stability control wizardry...

Dont laugh... Weight is also an issue. A Trailblazer SS weighs 4500 lbs without any modern stability controls to prevent understeer and oversteer cycles and ultimately a roll over as opposed to the Chevy SS and its magnetic shocks and stability control software that only weighs 4000 lbs. 500 lbs is massive. Couple that with height and higher ground clearance. The pendulum effect on your Trailblazer SS should be incredible. Its a good thing that it IS an SS and not the ordinary Trailblazer. At least the SS is hunkered down with stiffer roll bars up front and possibly in the back too benefiting it for evasive maneuvers.

14 inches makes a world of a difference whether you want to admit it or not. LOL. Actually, .6 inches makes a huge difference let alone 14, so Ill have to say 14.6 inches... And so even on the ground clearance, the Trailblazer SS is at a huuuuge disadvantage at being 7.8 inches off the ground being .6 inches farther away from the ground that the sedan SS. That is why the Zeta Camaro is lower to the ground and slightly lower over all than the original. and the Alpha Camaro is lower still in both ground clearance and in profile than the Zeta Camaro. And yeah, even in day to day daily driving...
