It's the ones that are packaged that I can't stand, whether as described above and even some readily identifiable sub-groups in So Cal such as surfers, entertainment wannabees, etc., but since we are talking about our assessment of the top gay cars, I couldn't help but take a hit at the Jetta and the Subaru and the annoying people around Seattle that drove them.

Funny that I was able to deduce these stereotypes from living in Seattle and NOT in California where people can't be quantified and categorized as easily.So true about the Jetta. Now, mind you, the current Jetta isn't as entry level, but the last two generations of Jetta say "metrosexual" (and that's the benefit of the doubt) UW student flitting around in his Jetta between the U-District, Capitol Hill and Queen Anne with all of the accoutrements Ocn describes save the sunglasses because you don't need them there. Then there's the Subaru. Dour and frumpy scholarly carpet muncher who either works or teaches at the UW, living in her ugly-ass frame bungalow with an equally ugly partner, cats and curio shop garbage somewhere in Wallingford (other side of the freeway from the U-District), driving this stupid utilitarian car around with an equally frumpy expression and all you can see is their short grayish hair, glasses and earrings they bought someplace "spiritual" like Sedona AZ or Santa Fe NM. Arrgghhhh! Why are people so damn "PACKAGED"?

I know there are a lot of smart people on the board so I am enlisting your help. My Regal, 1992, with the above transaxle (no electronic control ... that came the following year). Under a cruise type of throttle, it will exhibit a shudder between 3rd gear and overdrive at a speed of about 50 mph....when it tends to hunt betwen 3rd and 4th anyway. OK, the car does have 222,000 original miles. The trans has been serviced every 20,000 miles and it is mostly freeway driving. Shifts from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 are virtually flawless and so are most 3-4 shifts when under moderate acceleration. When it does do this little act (it's been going on for a couple of months), pressing down on the accelerator a little more deliberately clears it. Questions: Do you know what it might be? Are there solenoids that help determine the shift points on the non-electronic transmissions? Your input is appreciated.

Pardon my low-tech ignorance, but what does "myspace" mean?

Admittedly, the dude has some issues...but the "real" Harry isn't even on the site anymore. I'm sure that, with an MBA, he has to be reasonably smart, but certain "substances" evidently create the lack of coherence in some of his posts. Probably time to let it go...what do you think?

Nice job...I like the log in feature on the home page as well as the calendar...those always come in handy.

Walk on, child !!!

These voracious posters have either slowed down in posting or aren't posting at all. 98 Regency lurks in the shadows now and then, signed it, but not posting much. So much ridiculous drama. Any word on these people?

Sorry, Croc, brain fart on my behalf. You DID list "Office Space." It's SOOO stupid, that it's insanely funny.

Vanishing Point - two words.Another two words: "pointy" titties. See Vanishing Point and you will know what I mean. I've only seen it once but that's all I remember: the car (Mopar garbage) and what I wrote above.

I thought Office Space would be on the list. I've seen it once...hysterically funny...especially the Middle Eastern guy...and I need to see it a few more times.

UNBELIEVABLE....makes you want to strangle Michael Keaton. SO FUNNY. Remember the poem that Lupe, the Puerto Rican prostitute, recited to them at the Christmas party in the morgue: You take us off the city streets And give us nicer men to meets We have dresses furs and nice things to wear And even go to Vidal Sassoon's to fix up our hair We moved into nice apartment houses Instead of living with the "ratones" and the mouses Tonight, because of you, are joy is jumping Because we are at this party instead of humping Yes, I've seen that a handful of times as well.

Isn't it, though? Slinky, deceptive and intelligent. Wow. The first time you will miss some of the subleties...the second time you will make all the connections. The cast was great and so was the acting. The jazz score was ultra-sexy and top notch - wouldn't expect anything less from the guy who scores the music for 007 films. Great line from Oscar, the black chief of police in the town: "You brought this upon yo'self, man, people hear you be out there bangin' the widow, it tends to call attention to you."

We all have those movies we've seen several times over. Here's my list: James Bond movies Diamonds Are Forever - 11x On Her Majesty's Secret Service - about 7x Live and Let Die - about 7 x Moonraker - about 7 x For Your Eyes Only - about 7 x View To a Kill - about 4 x The World is Not Enough - approx 4 x Eddie Murphy Beverly Hills Cop - the original - 5 x (opening chase scene only - forward and reverse - about 20x) Trading Places - about 5 x Other Body Heat - 9x - I had to see it a second time to unravel the intricacy of the plot...and then I got hooked. Don't leave the room/theater in the last 15 minutes for the "yearbook scene." Which movies qualify you as an OCD freak?
