Intrepidation

Looking at it I would say 1,300 or so if I didn't know what you had already done to it.

Yes, pick a unit f measure and use that throughout the entire vehicle.

You certainly have a way with words that few this day and age possess, longtooth.

It's a balmy 16 out. Here's shooting for a sizzling 22.

Don't forget Linens and Things.

+2

How much did they cost?

I think we shouldn't have to raise them anymore, cars are safe enough now. We should also standardize emissions with Europe so we can get friggin' diesels.

What you do with the ape is your business dude.

Wal Mart is utter $h!. Just like their products.

can I haz it? grammer

So they're that good?

Yeah, on Circuit City's website it states their Canadian operations will remain open. They're done in the US though.

Yes he could buy something else, which is what millions have been doing for years, and is why Ford, GM, and Chrysler are in the mess they are in now. The economic meltdown was just icing on the cake, so to speak.

I do the same but just ignore it and go straight to "View New Posts" because it was so rarely updated. Of course I still do that, but that's because I already know what's on the Front Page. :wink: By the way if anyone has any news tips please shoot me a PM about it so I can post. I usually browse AB but can forget to check other sides like LeftLane News and such.

I love MXC! I haven't watched it in forever. Do they still show it on Spike?

You can thank Daimler for much of that, and yes they've turned out their share of lame ducks but so has Ford and GM. However the difference is Ford has a plan, Chrysler has a plan, and GM is second guessing itself, canceling good cars (G8 ST), introducing pieces of $h! (G3), wasting an excellent platform it spent millions to develop (Zeta), and the list goes on. Saying it can't do RWD and fuel efficient, even while others can. This is coming from what was the biggest automaker in the world, with not so long ago, the most resources and talent...but they can't do it. Then they show photos of the Spark during the Detroit autoshow, but roll out the Beat, confusing the hell out of people, and then say "whoops, well we were planning to show the Spark in Geneva all along." Yeah, that is GREAT decision making. And if you think I'm saying this just because of my username, just ask CaminoLS6 or many others about GM's decision making capabilities.

You must tell us!

My cousin and his wife worked a CC years ago. I believe they were sales managers. They both ended up wuitting because even though his wife was pregnant, they would still force her to work ungodly hours. I've heard lots of bad things about the management CC has had for years, and for a long time their customer service was terrible. It got better recently but still not great. I buy newegg. Sorry Circuit City or "Best Buy" but they just can't compete with prices, selection, and most of all, customer service. newegg has extremely high standards for ensuring their customers are happy, which is why they keep coming back. Still if there's a CC in the area I will go see what's left to offer. That all being sad I feel sorry for those 30,000 people who just lost their jobs. I wonder just how well Best Buy is doing?

Well there are methods to the madness, though I agree it has gone overboard. Stiffening and weight increases make the car safer and generally handle better. Despite the weight, the Camaro will run circles around YJ's Cutlass. I for one, what a car that handles better than the old stuff, because if I want something that doesn't, and is more simple, I can just buy said older car. So we do need to get back in touch with building simple, safe,transportation sure, but that's for the economy segment, not the segment the Camaro wishes to compete in, which is the performance coupe segment. Plus not every car back then was lighter and better, contrary to what OMG BOF V8 RWD NEW CARS SUCK BAHLZ!!!!!!!!111!!1! people would have you believe. For example, that `71 Sedan Deville I almost bought weight more than a Corolla and a Shadow combined, yet as cool as it was (and I'd still like to have one) my Intrepid is far more comfortable to be inside, front or back, is lighter, faster, over 3x more fuel efficient, handles WAY better, is and smaller on the outside but better packaged inside.

Yeah but the thing is, how is the G8 not more practical? Better seating, better interior, better looks, better handling, big trunk, and decent on gas.

Bankrupt Circuit City Stores Inc., the nation's second-biggest consumer electronics retailer, said Friday it failed to find a buyer and will liquidate its 567 U.S. stores. The closures could send another 30,000 people into the ranks of the unemployed. "This is the only possible path for our company," James A. Marcum, acting chief executive, said in a statement. "We are extremely disappointed by this outcome." The company had been seeking a buyer or a deal to refinance its debt, but the hobbled credit market and consumer worries proved insurmountable. The liquidation of Circuit City is the latest fallout from the worst holiday shopping season in four decases. People have slashed their spending since the financial meltdown in September as they worry about their job security and declining retirement funds. Other recent casualties include KB Toys, which filed for bankruptcy in December and is liquidating stores. Department store chains Goody's Family Clothing and Gottschalks Inc. both filed for bankruptcy this week -- Goody's plans to liquidate, while Gottschalks hopes to reorganize. Industry experts expect more bad news in the coming months as spending likely will deteriorate further. Circuit City said in court papers it has appointed Great American Group LLC, Hudson Capital Partners LLC, SB Capital Group LLC and Tiger Capital Group LLC as liquidators. "Regrettably for the more than 30,000 employees of Circuit City and our loyal customers, we were unable to reach an agreement with our creditors and lenders," Marcum said. Shareholders are likely to receive nothing, as is typical in bankruptcy cases. It was unclear what would happen to the company's 765 retail stores and dealer outlets in Canada. "Very, very sad," said Alan L. Wurtzel, the son of company founder Samuel S. Wurtzel, and the chief executive from 1972 to 1986, board chairman from 1986 to 1994 and vice chairman until 2001. "I feel particularly badly for the people are employed or until recently were employed." Wurtzel has previously said Circuit City didn't take the threat of rival Best Buy Co. seriously enough and, at some points, were too focused on making a profit in the short term instead of building long-term value. Circuit City filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November as vendors started to restrict the flow of merchandise ahead of the busy holiday shopping season. It had been exploring strategic alternatives since May, when it opened its books to Blockbuster Inc. The Dallas-based movie-rental chain made a takeover bid of more than $1 billion with plans to create a 9,300-store chain to sell electronic gadgets and rent movies and games. Blockbuster withdrew the bid in July because of market conditions. Circuit City, which said it had $3.4 billion in assets and $2.32 billion in liabilities as of Aug. 31, said in its initial filings that it planned to emerge from court protection in the first half of this year. Under court protection, Circuit City has broken 150 leases at locations where it no longer operates stores. The company already closed 155 stores in the U.S. in November and December. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Huennekens had given the company permission to liquidate if a buyout was not achieved. The company still needs final approval of a liquidation from the court. The liquidation is the latest big blow to the nation's malls, which have suffered from a rise in vacancies as a slew of chains from Mervyns LLC to Linens 'N Things have liquidated. But analysts say that the demise of Circuit City, whose stores range in size from 20,000 to 25,000 square feet, will hurt the fortunes of mall operators even more. http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/business/BO101672/ "It will bring to market a glut of big box spaces across the country," said John Bemis, head of Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.'s retail leasing team. "It will have one of the largest impacts on big box real estate across the country."

I'll 2nd the crappy mattress.

You're welcome

Well, I mean that is Ford's newish corporate button set, it's in ever recent vehicle they've introduced/updated.
