Intrepidation

Reg, you might like this. At the LH meet someone brought home made cupcakes. Very nontraditional cupcakes. He said the cupcake has dark amber maple syrup and bacon bits, vanilla cream cheese topping, and bits of bacon on top. Sounds odd but it was delicious.

Happy Birthday!

It is quite good for yo so long as you go for the PB that doesn't use hydrogenated oils and HF corn syrup, and go for jelly/jam/preserves/etc. that uses natral sweeteners and/or sugar.

Badge snobbery?

I like Reeses and Peter Pan Chunky sometimes but as a whole I prefer Smuckers Natural peanut butter with honey or Smuckers natural chunky peanut butter.

I actually do quite like it.

I would have gone to the guy with $3,000 cash and seen what happens. Cash talks.

I put Z's writing in my post since his was better.

Pontiac G8 to be Sold in Australia In what is surely to result in hordes of Pontiac enthusiasts jumping on the next Airbus A380 to Australia, Holden has announced that it will sell a limited run of Pontiac G8s in Holden dealerships. In what amounts to clearing the Pontiac noses, badges, and wheel center caps off the shelves in Elizabeth, the G8 package can be had on any Commodore sedan, Ute, and Sportwagon. One can't help but wonder, though, what would've been the problem with sending the last few here instead? Follow the jump to discuss. http://www.cheersandgears.com/index.php?sh...t=0#entry531101

I saw that and read it as "fapper" too.

Agreed, I'm not sure how that would worke either. This isn't a forum abut a few cars, it's about every GM car and then some. I think technical information comes along at a need to know basis via the tech section. However maybe articles about various powertrains would be neat.

If it were possible to do, it would be a heck of a lot of fun I think.

Neat!

One of the things I would like to see is if we could find a way to get more info on GM stuff, like plant tours, GM gatherings and reveals and stuff. Of course I have no idea how such a thing would be made possible.

If we do this is the first I've heard of it. I only know such things exist because of the Super Cub forum I sometimes go to.

I personally wouldn't go over 3k for it just on a gut feeling. I decided to check edmunds out, and the price for a private listing for one of these in "outstanding" condition with all the options but the moonroof is $2,864.

I just feel the need to single this out. While I would love to spend my days test driving cars, unless GM decides to start providing us with cars to drive it would cost quite a chunk of change to go rent cars and test drive them regularly. Otherwise it will be like it is now. People will review cars they happen to rent or test drive should they be so inclined. There are indeed some very good ideas, but some realism is required here, both in terms of cost, resources and general feasibility. I like the idea of a heritage section, since older cars are not my forte and I would like to know more about all of the various models. I also like the idea of a section for meets, though I wonder just how many people there are in each region. On that note, it might be cool to have one of those threads where you can pin yourself on the map sort of thing. Ideas are always welcome even if we can't do them all. -- One last thing. If you don't like a member, ignore them. There's no need to drag it through various threads.

Nice, but I'm more of an Aston Martin kinda guy.

You left out a key bit: what's this thing cost?

That poor Dakota...my favorite generation. It makes a great point. Those of us who actually get off of our fat asses and get parts ourselves to keep our cars running / upgrade them have that many less donor vehicles, and it hurts the business of salvage yards. A sad fate for any car indeed.

I just wonder what the fallout will be like when this program inevitably ends.
