Intrepidation

How do you know that's what the original said? I can't remember which version was mistranslated in this example, but it was changed from "In the Beginning" to "In a Beginning" (or the other way around, I forget exactly). Kind of a big difference.

It's the curse of poor management at the Big 3. They have good product and then let it rot on the market. PT Cruiser, Focus, Ranger, GMT-360s to name a few.

I'm not really a bean person.

Happy Birthday!

BBQ Baby Back Ribs. Yes I got the joke.

The front and rear end on those sketches would make an excellent MCE.

Very sorry to hear about this von. Thoughts are with you and your family.

Happy Birthday!

I never did get what the fuss about this car was about. It's not Porsche Panorama bad, but I don't like the proportions, especially in profile. It has a huge front overhang, and while it works well enough for the other Lamborghinis, it doesn't work for me on this. Plus the back looks like it was hacked off. From this angle it's ok, from the side, not so much.

I'll 3rd Ham. I like it thinly sliced and as a sandwich, not so much by itself. Something else I'll ad is any tough meat. I'm very picky about that...I like it tender and not tough and especially not chewy...or I won't eat it.

As usual, you are mistaken. As Chris said, the 300 (and Charger) are redesigns on the new LY platform (an evolution of the LX) When they debut they will have the new Phoenix V6 engines, one of the most advanced in the world, and apparently and 8-speed automatic. MB and BMW can't match that. Chrysler being a t the same level as the Germans could be done, they can beat the Germans at their own game. Remember the ME-412? They were going to build it. It was better than the SLR can was far more cost effective. That's Why Daimler killed it. What an embarrassment it would be to have the American company show up the German company. However, it takes money, time, and product to move a brand upmarket.

Salt. It's evil I tell you. Gotta wash both cars this week when temps warm.

I'm sure it's a well deserved and much needed break. What do you do if you don't mind my asking?

Laying in the warm, comfy bed with my girlfriend and our 2 cats.

In theory it could work. Decades long past, Chrysler could run with the best Cadillac had to offer. Cadillac is working it's way out of the mud and towards becoming The Standard of the World again. Who would have thought 15 years ago that Cadillac would have a BMW killer (CTS-V)? It's certainly possible, any brand can move upmarket (look at Hyundai), and it would get rid of any overlap with Dodge, but requires time, patience and investment into the product to make it happen. I'd love to say I could see it happening, but as of right now he's off his rocker.

They are quite awesome, I'd like to know the story behind the photo if there is one. I bet it would be very interesting.

Driver has to take a dump.

If you still want a Saturn, your head is in Uranus.

Well I'm going to hijack this thread for a better reason: dude what's the deal with that awesome sig?

...back on topic. I maintain that I don't like the idea of the lawsuit being allowed to go forward, for 2 reasons: the woman suing implied that her back was injured and her liver was lacerated while being pulled out of the car. I can see one, but the latter would clearly be the result of the accident. That she appears to be trying to pin it on the GS, makes it seem very fishy to me. The other reason is that it does make one hesitate to do stop and help someone, for fear they may be sued. That hesitation could have life or death consequences. And while I do now admit that perhaps the GS should have just left the woman in the car, I believe she did it with the best of intentions, and it seems like a real slap in the face to her and to anyone who actually gives a damna bout other people and is willing to actually help someone in need. The woman could have said, "No, I'm good, I'll just wait for the EMTs." Anyway, this thread has degraded to mudslinging at CA for whatever reason. It's run it's course, I'm done with it.

Oh, or how about those days you want it to go off but either forget to set it, or set it when you're so tired that it's accidentally set for PM.

Being woken up before I've had sufficient sleep. Those nights where your mind just won't shut off, keeping you awake for hours.

Someone's got a rod up their butt tonight. Obviously I'm not going to call someone out for saying Happy Holidays, and no $h! it's the best of intentions, I wouldn't give someone grief over it, I would, and have wished it back. That being said it's been hyped up pretty well, at least in New England, that Merry Christmas is somehow offensive, and thus people should only say Happy Holidays so as to not to offend someone and they get all bent out of shape about it. Nor would I if someone wished me Happy Hanukah. I suppose you could draw a parallel to myself and others mentioning on this thread that we don't care for the fact that not many people at all say Merry Christmas, but then this is 1.) A thread to post what you don't much care for and 2.) Not a rant to someone who just wished happy whatever day. And you bet I'd be puzzled by someone I know who celebrates Christmas and knows I do not say Merry Christmas. Of course New Year's isn't far apart but 1.) Christmas comes first and 2.) Christmas is probably a little more significant to someone who is religious. I myself am not, just to clarify, but the puzzlement remains. Am I not allowed to wonder? Or is that offensive? Like I said, around here the political correctness thing is pretty absurd. A couple years ago their was a, stupid debate over whether or not Boston's (I believe) annual Christmas Tree should be called "Holiday Tree" instead. A few years before that news was made about some grumpy people with rod up their own ass complaining and making a big deal about a Nativity scene on a homeowner's lawn.

It's all that political correctness horse $h!. The most shocking time was when a guy I know who is religious and Catholic, who I had not seen in a while, wished me Happy Holidays.
