Intrepidation

Thing is, V6 are getting to the point where they make power of V8's. For example: the 3.6 DI in the CTS makes more power than the V8 in the Lucerne as I recall. Some of Ford's EconBoost models are claimed to make like 400 horsepower.

ebay?

Transformer FTW

Oh man, I don't miss interior colors like that though. Plood on green?

So wait, then wouldn't McCain's cuts for the rich be socialism too? Or is that another double standard?

How are tax cuts for the middle class and taxes increases for the rich (who have been enjoying tax breaks for 8 years) socialism?

Cool, now it's time to go to college!

Rednecks indeed. It's people like that that cause other countries to look down upon us.

At one point McCain said he proposed a freeze on nearly all spending, but as Obama pointed out, you're using a hatchet where you need a surgical knife, or something to that effect. Obama also stated that we do have to control government spending, especially on petty things, but some things need funding/more funding, like our pathetic education system, outdated energy infrastructure, and investments in alternative energy. He also said he was not opposed to Nuclear Reprocessing. So no, I don't think Obama blew it.

Got a link? I'd love to read it. This is exactly why I can't wait for the debate and why it will be effing hilarious.

What has always made the Viper so special is that it gives you the tools but makes the driver do the work without 20 computers doing the work for you. Not many cars these days are like that. Besides, it's a weekend warrior anyway, the creature comforts can be saved for the family car.

Indeed, they had nothing but good things to say abut it.

Hey blu, I enjoy your writeups, you should do one of the Caliber, or better yet, an `09 Patriot if you can find one.

Go Viper!

I wonder if that A/C fiasco refers to the gen 1 or gen 2 LH cars. I wouldn't at all be surprised if it was the gen 2 cars, since so many of them seem to have non-working A/C units (mine included).

I can't wait for the VP debate, it's going to be hilarious.

I noticed this too. McCain seemed rather condescending towards Obama. Nt only did he not ever make direct eye contact when debating, but I saw him snicker at some things Obama said in the foreign policy part of the debate, and at least a dozen times claim that Obama "doesn't understand" something or other. To me McCain didn't treat Obama as his equal in the debate, which was irritating and a major mark against him in my book. Other things I noticed and has been mentioned: McCain tended to ramble on (like an old man), and especially at the beginning seemed to reword Obama's answers but in a more vague manner. He sounded like a typical politician. Obama was very clear, especially on the economic part of the debate, what he would do, using "1, 2, 3" structures in his answers. I thought Obama handled himself more professionally, and kept his cool each time McCain tried to get under his skin (referring especially to the "you don't understand" bits. I will say McCain made a much stronger case for himself in regards to foreign policy than his did economics, to me Obama was clearly superior in the economics part of the debate.

I've got popcorn for tonight!

To me a religion is more than just a believe in a god or not. It involves rituals and rules, codes and ceremonies as well as some sotrt of "government" system. Atheism as far as I know is none of that, so I don't consider a religion. Otherwise we could call anything we believe in a religion. I believes that Times New Roman sucks and prefer to use Verdena on my websites. Is that a religion now? I think not.

Typical South

Gotta love double standards.

GM's inability to manage its brands since the early 70's is what is dragging GM down IMHO. If GM knew how to manage the brands before it was cash-strapped, they could all have their place without competing with each other.

Oh and the P-63 Kingcobra
