To hide the luggage. There are way too many rental vehicles that don't allow for completely hiding belongings that it perplexes me. And for those cars that are SUPPOSED to have the cover or retractable vinyl pull, most of the time it ISN'T there. So I have to go back to the counter to get a passenger car.

"Scarface"

Paul, when the market comes back and Buick can ascertain that a coupe would be well-received, I also think a drop-dead beautiful Riviera coupe should be offered. Until then, we can only dream...

I goofed here. I was considering "hydrogen," or any non fossil fuel, to be NEW TECH.

Hey, we've seen gas prices go down and now they're going up. The seesaw has become exhausting and I welcome the day that some other non-fossil fuel type of engine is the norm. (I was happy to snag one of the last new 3800 V6s in the LaX and hope to drive it for a dozen or so years, knock on wood). I like driving around for the hell of it, especially where it's scenic. So how long do you think it will take before you wander onto the new car lot and AT LEAST 50% of the cars on sale are NOT powered by a traditional internal combustion engine? Feel free to comment as well.

LOL. It seemed that Sharon/Fairview closer to downtown was grander mansions and "older" money whereas Sharon/Fairview further from downtown, toward the belt freeeway, was newer mansions and/or homes that got a little smaller, so, therefore "newer" money. I enjoy seeing how cities are layed out and surveying the housing.

OMG :rotflmao: When I saw that you had posted, I didn't have to read it to wonder how you'd vote...and was picturing this!

I try to do this as well, but keep it brief because of the insurance / "line of demarcation" that's posted. I always let the service advisor, and possibly the tech, know that I am conversant in car matters. It has helped a lot!

No, Satty, this is a super easy question. Jiggly boobs dancing in your face (opening sequence to "Basic Instinct," sans icepick) is cool. As I drive past a Busch brewery or am in the Napa wine country, I'm thinking "with people like me, they would all be out of business" because I find alcohol to be the most useless of purchases. (Not a Mormo, but Catholic, so we can drink, so that's not it). So alcohol, to me, is not cool. Happy Mardi Gras.

Von, interesting that you would notice this. When renting VVT equipped V6s, such as in the Montes I liked, I didn't know how much difference there really was and was wondering if I could feel the VVT kicking in, or doing its thing, by punching it. I mean, I know it's there, but couldn't really tell. Fortunately, the service departments have said they have NOT seen VVT units come back in for work...and some are in taxi fleets. I guess that's very good.

Last night, after Borders, I went to the auto mall and drooled over some G8s...8 grand + 20 grand...oh well....it ain't happening, but what a kick-ass car that G8 is.

variety (all the different types of pasta are awesome)

Hilarious. I've been to Farmington Hills MI, where a chick from grad school lived. With all the brick, I thought it was the Southeast. At any rate, take good care of that car. Light metallic blue is my favorite color.
