casual or as some Cubans I knew growing up would always say: "Ees casual, man...."

Isn't this all too predictable. Definitely by next summer's vacation season.

That's awesome. These can go on and on. Yesterday, on the morning train to work, a black male in his 20s is sitting in front of me. He had a hooded sweatshirt/jacket on, pulled up over his head. It was full of slogans: - Keep a low profile in DA hood - Keep dog close (probably a pit bull) - Don't go into the wrong section And all this other crap about DA HOOD....like a high school yearbook that had been filled up. He was listening to music on his ipod/MP3/whatever through his earphones, shaking his head up and down rhythmically and making these goofy hand motions. Poor lady who had to sit next to him. It was a combination of entertaining and sad.

QUOTE (FUTURE_OF_GM @ Oct 23 2008, 09:12 PM) got the "your cars just compensate for your small penis" speech from an uber hippie idiot (architecture seems to have a lot of these people) Ain't that the truth? It's amazing how one could like, or be competent, at architecture and hate architects. It really attracts some weird ones, including its share of granolas. Yes, this neighboring lady said that about a guy with the largest of the Ford trucks, with huge tires and Texas plates. I think he works in some type of construction endeavor 1/2 the time and is at the gym the other 1/2 of the time. Comments for BOTH of my cars: Others: Gee, it's a Buick, it must consume a lot of gas. Me: Not really, it has a 6 cylinder engine. Others: So, what do you get, about 17 to 20 miles per gallon? Me: No, about 27 to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. Others (eyes open wide): Reeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy????

Most bizarre artists bat for both teams. Is this big news?

In SoCal, while taking a community college class in between summers, a black chick was quite pissed that the machine swallowed her change to no avail. She yells out, with her hand on her hip: " 'Ama let this machine take my money or 'ama act a fool?" The things we don't forget.

Very tough call...can't think of many EXCEPT the Impala. Flagship Cadillacs don't seem to wax and wane too much in terms of sales...there will always be rich retirees in Palm Springs and Palm Beach. I was just at the bookstore /cafe having COFFEE. I was in the auto section and saw the pictorial "GM - 100 years," an awesome coffee table book. I was both fascinated and depressed. I was going through the 70s pages. Everybody wanted a new Cutlass, Monte Carlo, or Seville in their driveways...all of their new cars had something distinctive about them and most up them held up well mechanically. Was it the 80s when the "bottom fell out" on quality? (Some of them were ok). In 20 years, the domestic automakers either did something (or DIDN'T DO something) to alienate a lot of customers. The domestic automakers are paying for their perceived, or actual faux pas of the '80s, and, combined with the struggling economy, it appears to be a "perfect storm."

Which is sad because the GTO wasn't bad and the G8 is a real good-looking car.

Malibu - nice driving car, got great accolades out of the gate, staying power is kind of questionable, has styling that is too "thick" and not timeless Grand Prix - I see them every day, and think what a GREAT car that could have been with some "nip and tuck"....this could have stolen a lot of sales from its non-GM competitors, as this is a segment that many people want and need in their driveways.
