*nods* Yep ... my '87 MC LS is solid ... and, apparently, according to daves87rs' description of his newer Cobalt in his "when a beater gets beat" thread, more reliable than a car 20 years younger..... *shrugs* Plus ...

*raises eyebrow cautiously* Wait ... you're telling me that your Cobalt (2006? 2007?) is less reliable than my 1987 Monte Carlo LS? Heh ... interesting.

I know I'm coming into this a bit late, Paolino, but I voted to do both at the same time. However, really, this is something only you and your doctor(s) can determine. I know from experience, sadly. It doesn't matter the type of surgery ... it is _always_ risky; thus, the less times you have to "go under" ... the better (imho, anyway). Good luck.

Sadly, I'd guess that you are correct. But, that's not how it is here. We recycle every possible thing we can. THAT sometimes, gets annoying. But, what I've been annoyed more at is the fact that, at work, we DO NOT have a recycling program. I've found that almost reprehensible and have spoken about my displeasure about it numerous times. We have a new building manager, so I'm in hopes that we can get something going ... the sooner the better. I hate seeing paper just tossed into the trash and NOT recycled. LUCKILY, we DO recycle aluminum cans....so, that is good. reg ... I know what you mean. I've often found it a bit humorous that vehicle manufacturers seem to be "under the gun" for helping the earth ... more so than any other company....seemingly, anyway.

AMEN! My thoughts, exactly! Maybe it'll get better, but somehow, I doubt it.... OK ... here's my take, now that I've had some time to think about this.... My "creative mind" often formulates what an old favorite TV show might be like ... "updated" in today's world, and it always _seems_ cool. In the case of Knight Rider, perhaps my mind is more creative than I thought ... or, maybe, my expectations were too high, I'm not sure. Yes, I watched Knight Rider Sunday night. I kinda liked it...kinda didn't. Indifferent, though, is not the right word. It was exciting to see KITT revived, but not so exciting to see only SOME of the history explained. It was cool to see the old KITT in the garage (body parts and that famous license plate), but if you remember the Knight Rider 2000 movie from 1991, a direct continuation of the original series, some things just didn't "match": ...per the 1991 movie, the old KITT in the garage should've been the red one that ended that KR 2000 movie. Remember, Russell Maddock dismantled the original KITT and sold it for scrap.... ...in the original series, Devon Miles was the face of the mysterious benefactor, Wilton Knight, who, according to imdb.com, created KITT.... Devon Miles was murdered by Maddock's guys in the 1991 TV movie.... But, the new Knight Rider movie Sunday night indicated that Charles Graiman (who decided to re-instate the Foundation) was the originator of KITT.... And, notice how Charles Graiman "resembles" (somewhat anyway) the original Devon Miles.... ...in the 1991 movie, the lady Shawn McCormick has part of KITT's chip in her. And, remember, the red KITT that ended the movie was the Knight 4000 ... so, with this new TV series, we're going back a step to Knight Industries Three Thousand...? *shrugs* Course, that 1991 movie was looking into the "future" to the year 2000. After all, they were using Ch#$r%*et Berettas as cop cars, presumably to give it a more futuristic feel.... And, also to the new Knight Rider's defense, they weren't going to be able to completely explain the differences between the 2 TV series. However, imho, it would've been nice if they had given SOME mention to Devon Miles and, of course, Bonnie. Who knows ... maybe they will. He he ... come to think of it, it'd be cool to see KARR, too...! *pauses* As for the "Ford commercial" in the new Knight Rider, I don't remember the product placement being THAT obvious in the original TV series or the 1991 movie. Heh ... what Ford Edge IS faster than KITT, anyway? This new Knight Rider might not have been how I "created" it in my mind, but it was OK. Heh ... maybe I should submit concepts for some of my other favorite shows.... Speaking of ... am I the only one that thinks about what a continuation of an old favorite TV show might be like today?
