Personally, I don't see what's wrong with it. It's fully clothed...and it's very YOU.At any rate, that Pontiac is SWEET and very easy on the eyes. It works.

455 (as in Oldsmobile Rocket V-8 )

This part is important, too. And you need to post pictures of the dogs. Woof.

I was looking at the pictures people are posting, sometimes with family members. The question of similarities and dissimilarities was brought up. I thought this would be an interesting topic. I put down "blended - more father" because when I went to upstate NY to meet part of my family on Dad's side, they had never seen me and we met at a mall to guide me back to the house in their subdivision with a bunch of cul-de-sacs, they picked me out and said "you look just like a (Dad's family surname)." But, then, a few features look like those on my Mom's brothers who, unfortunately, I can't stand! What about you? Which parent do you resemble more/most?

Just pretend you are on a "loop coaster"!

The ripple effect on the economy will be bad, so I can't believe that some answered that they didn't change their habits much as a result of gas prices when I put out that poll. People will drive less, recreate less, frequent fewer restaurants and stores, and on and on. Things will cost more because of the cost to transport them. Yeah, some will get "fat and happy" from the increase, but most will suffer. Not good.

The trip to the post office thing has really added to the weirdness. Evidently, this person was quite disturbed and several English comp. profs spotted it through his writings and passed on the information. I think that the counseling area of VT should have taken this more seriously. I was thinking about his family, too. Assuming they did the best they could in raising him and that his anger and isolation stemmed more from his interactions with peers and society, they are probably having a bad time right now as well. They went from being unknown private people to being in the spotlight and will suffer a lifetime of abuse and/or ostracism for it, as many families of criminals have had to endure. I think we should keep them in our prayers as well. And, clearly, we should definitely pray for the victims and their families and friends....and I am saying this as someone who is far from being a "holy roller."

My after-market grille comes off on May 7th at noon!

Si, qualunque cambio sara' migliore!

Senti, hai bisogno di acquistare un "emoticon" nuovo. C'e un po' di tempo che te lo volevo dire!

Do you work well under pressure? For a class tonight, I had to turn in a paper in the 7 to 10 page range. This is a more conceptual management class, so it had no numbers. (I like the objective ones better, actually). Last night at about 11 pm, I started a scratch outline. This morning at 6 am, I had no paper in process. It was due at 5:30 pm. I kicked into overdrive at about 2 pm, and walked in at 5:35 pm. It's all adult-type working students, so it didn't matter. I made it. I always get through, but I hate it. The eating at a diner and writing and all that stress to make a deadline. I always plan out "boxes of time" in advance but don't stick to them. What about you? Do you produce more under pressure or under a laid-back timeline?

Actually, scharmer is also a level-headed guy with a good sense of who he is and a good head on his shoulders...given what I've seen him post. I'll bet that he had good parenting.

Nao esquicir: muito cuidado...ok?Response to thread: rat

No. Can't afford it.

I will say that, for the money, this is one heck of a package. You can buy one out the door for about $ 20,000 before taxes and the like. I do have a problem with some aspects of the packaging, having rented about 10 of them. The dashboard has some hard plastic at the sides that gives a "rat-tat" sound when you tap on it. It could have been clad in vinyl, at the very least, as they do with other cars. The general level of articulation on seat surfaces and door panels is kind of weak. However, the engine has an exhaust note. I don't think it sounds bad. The exhaust note in the first year of this version (2004) sounded absolutely horrible; the current one doesn't. The powertrain on the base model is proven and rock solid. Also, that same powertrain is hushed in a LaCrosse. At the end of the model run, this car has been as "perfected" as it can be; however, it could have been a little better. Still, I would be ok with owning one.

Well, they identified the perpetrator. Whenever they reveal the profiles of these people, it's not very pleasant. In addtition to the destruction he created, his family will have to live with the stigma of who their son was. In the Pacific Northwest, Ted Bundy's mom, who was from Tacoma WA, reportedly had these kinds of troubles whenever she went into a store or a service establishment and had to give her name. It's so sad that these people leave a bad legacy on so many levels.

A very flattering view! This (actually the 1976) was my first car, as a hand-me down after my Dad used it for a while...low mileage.This is one of America's most beloved cars. And for good reason. In 1976, it took a leap from its previous resemblance to its stablemates (Regal, GP, MC) to be more progressively styled and win the beauty contest....hands down. In 1977, minor changes were introduced...the passenger side of the dash lost the circular vents in favor of rectangular ones. The other thing that jumped out were the color changes in 1977....a light green interior came into being and the deep burgundy of 1976 (called Mahogany) gave way to the red you see in this car. What a find! Congratulations! What powers it....a 260, a 350 or a 403? Either way, they are all Oldsmobile Rocket V8s and should perform impeccably well... and with a sexy engine note to boot, from both inside and outside the car. (I know, I used to lower my passenger window over bridges to hear the engine). BTW, take real good care of it with the elements up there. And it was actually the 1975 Cutlass Salon coupe that was my first childhood automotive love...Persimmon metallic, white landau top, the plump bucket seats in beige cloth and color keyed rally wheels...was there anything more beautiful?

No Intrigue on the list?

Ok, ok, I was ASKING! I'm not the native of the area...I just never detected much "paak the caar" in their schpiels. Ok, so it's authentic. Still, it's authentic ON STEROIDS to ham up their effect.
