Assume for a moment that C&G threads could be catalogued into "sex / sexual / relationships," "car problems," "current events," "(name of specific car) reviews and opinions" and yada-yada, the thread on "sex / sexual / relationships" would almost always be the best attended on this board. And you can always count on the fact that the posts and certain posters will be opinionated, divided, caustic and heated.

My Dad passed away in April 1998...so about 8 years ago. It was sort of a foggy feeling for a short while thereafter, even though we knew it was inevitable since his CHF was advancing. It's always difficult to say good-bye to a loved one, so I understand. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey, AR05, I'm STILL diggin' those houses! That's not snow, that's a dusting!

Yep, like TYD or one of you Maple Leaf types pointed out, Canada alone is a good reason for General Motors NOT to drop the Pontiac line!

Those with walk-in closets come out of the closet on a daily basis. Razor, I'm with you, I don't like the use of that word either. "Gay" as read in stories in grammar school meant happy. How the word got derailed into meaning homosexuality is beyond me.

You're funny! You've joined the ranks of the many who proclaim "I love L.A." (raunchy but funny song by Randy Newman) and you cited one of the very best reasons to love it. LA: where you GO TO THE SNOW... because it doesn't come to you.

I was following 2 of them (not deliberately) on the freeway today during lunch time. They are kind of cool...and certainly WAY better looking and better proportioned than the PT Cruiser.

Well, I'm a broken record...so here goes: I am wrapping up a night time Masters in May 2007, so I don't want nor need a new car to dash like a madman on the freeway and in the parking structure looking for a space between my 48 hours at the office and my 2 classes at night. Then, I'll go to Europe for most of June and July, so the 2008s will be here when I return. Hence: Choice 1 2008 Buick La Crosse CX with some options (alloys, conv. package), 3800 V6 (the Intrigue of the new millenium, right?) Choice 2 2008 Monte Carlo LT 3.5 VVT V6 Choice 3 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix base 3800 V6 Unless something else comes around by GM or someone can convince me otherwise, these are the choices.

No. Thankfully not. They are on the thin side....European style. No big shoulders and calves to be seen...at least, not as many as you would see in a city in the heartland. In this regard, Montreal is a lot more like Europe than America....NO FAT CHICKS.

It took a while, but then I got it... Response to thread: Key Lime

1. those Romanesque limestone rowhouses are cool, but I like newer construction...I would be depressed living in something that musty and frumpy 2. Look at those cool buildings and the copper dome...I swear, Montreal looks especially good under gray skies...I don't know why 3. The Travelodge...AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH....not THIS time! Don't tell me you didn't have a GREAT time!

1. The Cathedral is weak on the outside but gorgeous on the inside. Celine can get married in the main church, the rest of the world has to get married in one of the small chapels in the back. 2. I love that overpass that looks at the Convention Center with the freeway (Autoroute Ville Marie) buzzing underneath 3. The leaves look pretty green. I will be there in about 1 week. Great pix. What a KICK-ASS city. If I was more resistant to cold weather, I think I would enjoy living there...after all, my friends call me the "welcome wagon" for foreigners....and there are lots of them in Montreal, right?

Busting a gut laughing, razor!

Montreal (that's where he's originally from)

I had to let that sink in...yeah, funny. Congrats, ohsnap...somewhere in the Washington DC suburbs...glad to see someone is reproducing the human race....I wish you lots of happiness with your newborn.

U of I - as in "Cham-bana?" - My "second" alma mater - a lot of work and not much of a fun time, right down to an ulcer! I usually remember things to great detail, but that is a place I want to forget and couldn't even tell you most of the street names anymore since I've purged that experience from my brain.
