I must have joined early in 05 before the LaCrosse was released late that year. I remember all the "it's a Taurus...it's not a Taurus" back and forth. Gosh darn, I now own the car, 3 years later. But the funny people have kept me around. People I don't remember (and all the "drama" surrounding them): Adam, Buickman People I vaguely remember: Ah-ah, Evok People who were bizarre: wpbharry People I miss/we all miss: Chief People I don't miss: Lord Stafford (since you guys bring him up) People I liked that no longer/rarely post: rivieraranch, razoredge, IHopeGMRulesAgain It's a world unto itself...

Here, the crowd is going wild. This vantage point shows the size of the grand liner.

Ok, the kind of crap I like. The first portion is cool as it apparently is catching a cross-wind and is "rocking" from side to side. The second portion is cool as it keeps the triple-slotted rear flaps down while on the taxiway to the gate. This second one has great photography and zooms. The new paint job (because Delta has picked up NW's fleet) is clean and elegant.

Not until now. The name threw me off. I thought it would be a "Schindler's List" type movie.

I'm very happy to hear this. I had some cognitive dissonance after the purchase, but buying my 2008 LaCrosse CX was the right thing to do, when I was edging real close to a Monte Carlo coupe. More recently, checking the dot system on Consumer Reports, the LaCrosse has been showing full red dots for all powertrain components since its 2005 release, whereas the MC has not. Good going, Buick!

Within the last couple of weeks, I saw "Slumdog Millionaire." I thought it would a comedy, when someone told me about the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" theme. It was anything but. It was probably one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen If anyone is feeling down, see this movie and you will feel better...we don't have it that bad. A co-worker has also lent me "Shawshank Redemption" and "Primal Fear." They are mid-90s movies I've never seen. Both are also really powerful....the first for all its messages about life (and an unbelievable Morgan Freeman performance) and the second one for the way the courtroom drama and forensics stuff plays out, not to mention the bizarre ending (plus Richard Gere doesn't act like Richard Gere and is actually convincing as the defense attorney). I told my co-worker to lend me more entertaining movies in the future. Seen any interesting flicks lately?

O.J. Simpson (I think that's what EVERYONE associates with that word!)

you can always offer him a ride there in your Grand Prix! Besides, don't all the documentaries show that it's the Germans, the Dutch, and the Scandinavians that like those places...
