I don't think any good drink or food item is one that I have to "get used to" I've tried a few types, I dunno how they rank on the beer scale, but they each tastes like crap to me.

The Official MPG Thread
You should know from experience that the LH cars are a whole different car compare d to the Camrys and Accords. They handle very well, drive very well, and handle speed very well (we cruised 80-100 mph all the way to Tulsa and back). They are also special cars due to their revolutionary design, and while they may be FWD, the engine placement is of the correct direction. The 300M wasn't just about power, it was about luxury and all around handling. Besides, the next generation became RWD. Meanwhile the historic Impala nameplate soldiers on as a FWD car on an outdated platform. Get back to me when GM ever makes it RWD. I also take more than a little offense that you imply that just because I love my FWD car, and that it isn't some massive, 5 ton, gas sucking, poor handling aircraft carrier that I'm not an enthusiast, or less of an enthusiast. There's different kinds of enthusiasts, we don't all have to adhere to one person's idea of what makes a car enthusiast.

I'm thinking the entire operation fleet of yours, mine, and XP's.

GM Europe decides to downsize future Saabs
I 2nd that idea. That thread would be like 50 pages long though.

GM Europe decides to downsize future Saabs
You're comparing the Camry's top engine, thus you should compare the 9-3's tope ngine. Not that this is apples to apples anyway, since they don't even compete with each other, but then none of your comparisons are fair or well thought out.

Does this mean the EpII Buick is "LaCrosse"?
I hope it won't be called LaCrosse.

Chrysler to cut 1,000 salaried jobs
The 90's actually was a good time for Chrysler. They revolutionized the staid pickup segment with the 2nd gen Ram, the introduced Cab Forward Design, they continued to innovate with their minivans, they had the not too big not too small Dakota and Durango, and so on. And of course their was the Viper.

In Tusla there was a Long John Silver's/A&W. I think in Salem, NH there's a DeAngelo's/A&W.

Nit when Coke tastes as good as it does. One thing I'd like to know is what happened to Gott soda...I loved their soda but haven't seen it in years.

Major Camaro Announcement
I think the G37 is sharp, and I have always loved the G35 coupe. Wouldn't mind owning either down the road. That being said the first 2 new cars I purchase will be a Camaro and a Challenger. Not sure what model/transmission on the Camaro yet though.

Wrong again. The 9-3 XWD makes 280 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.

Chrysler to cut 1,000 salaried jobs
Hardly, the Stealth was cool but a rebadged 3000GT, a cool car but heavy and didn't handle as well as the styling suggested. It was also cramped. The Prowler. The Vision lived on as the 300M, along with the other LH cars. The LX replaced them with great success. LH and LX are large cars, the amrket is shifting to smaller cars. What Chrysler needs are vastly improved midsizers, the compacts, and a real replacement for the Neon. But yes, the late 90's were good times for Chrysler.

I can't remember if I ever dried Braums when I was in KS, although there was one. One thing that is cool about down there is they have frozen custard places, I've never seen any shops in New England.

The Official MPG Thread
I actually didn't mind the rear, it was the front of the 300M (and Concorde and LHS) that bothered me slightly. Couldn't ever put my finger on it, something to do with theheadlights shape and small grill. I still like them though. The 300M did have 250 horsepower at one point, it was also the sportiest of all of the LH cars and was considered to give some of the Euro luxury marque's cars and the Japanese luxury marques a run for their money.

It has horrible proportions, and a B-pillar. No V16? Pulease. Next!

I'm liking that idea. However you're not thinking big enough. We should somehow get our entire fleets together for one massive photo op. It would be EPIC!

I perfer the look of the Intrepid, plus if you know e well, I hang on to my cars for eva! muhahaha Besides, if I go the 3.2 route the engine is only $800. Probably a little more to get the extras I'd need for a swap. A used Concorde LXi/LHS/300M would easily cost over $5,000. I like the idea of upgrading my Intrepid as I go. Ideally I'd like to find a wrecked LHS or 300M with a black interior and and put those ultra comfy leather seats in mine, as well as the automatic climate control module. Anyway, the 2.7 is still going strong, and problem free since I replaced that crankshaft sensor. Once I do the timing chains she should be good for quite some time, hopefully. I'm interested to see how far it'll go, and maybe set some record for most miles on a 2.7L. On Dodgetalk there's a guy who did just that, and the results are sexy. Chrysler luxury with Dodge sporty styling. I love my car too much to ever get rid of it.

Coke is the perfect soda, any variation of it is messing with perfection. Who wants some Tab? I have a case of that stuff and don't want it.

So is this who I ask when I decide to put a 3.5 in my Intrepid? I bet it would be easy for this guy, since besides the exhuast pipe that needs to be bent to fit, it's all plug `n play.

There's one at the mall in Nashua, NH. I tried it once, and the very next time I walked past it to Arby's.

Burgess: Lucerne Super, same as it ever was
Mk, from a quick search: Buick Lucerene Super 0-60 in 6.2 sec Chrysler 300C 0-60 in 5.6 sec (although I just saw MT reports it as 5.8 sec) Anyway, I like the interior colors scheme of the Super, it looks quite rich, and more upscale than the lower models.
