Well, it is rather nice to know that I'm NOT alone, after all ... because it feels increasingly more like I am the only one who feels this way..... *shrugs* And, yeah, I admit ... I get a bit jealous over those of ya getting new cars. As I noted, I'd love to have a new car, but since nothing out there really grabs my attention, I'm not willing to put down any money for something I'm going to end up disliking or even hating. Been there, done that ... twice, in fact. Heh ... and, yet, even a LITTLE bit part of me misses those 2 cars.... But, then again, I get attached to cars a bit too easily . he he he Cort:34swm."Mr Monte Carlo.Mr Road Trip".pig valve.pacemaker WRMNshowcase.lego.HO.model.MCs.RT.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "I've had enough" ...

Hey GMTruckGuy, That sounds like an awesome experience all the way around (of course, with the exception of the commute/driving...heh). I can't remember where I heard/saw it, but I know last year I heard/saw that they do a "test run" of the ball drop before "just in case". I've never quite understood what that "just in case" was all about, but whatever. Very cool, though ... too bad you didn't get the camera out sooner. And, I second the query for the pics of the Pontiac....

Wow....it's starting to really feel like RWD people are not welcomed here at all..... Interesting query/thoughts, indeedy. Given the hatred for RWD, I'm guessing the FWD/AWD Intrepid/Concorde would have done much better in comparison to the Charger/300 duo. But, not for me. And a class-leading FWD/AWD Celebrity/Lumina/impala wouldn't make me want to buy it either.... Hmmm...which reminds me. Given the automakers and the general public's obvious hatred for RWD, why on earth is the Dodge Charger considered a competitor to the likes of the Ch#$r%*et Celebrity/Lumina/impala and Toyota Camry/Avalon? I mean ... I know WHY (size, etc.), but when it comes to the RWD/FWD/AWD discussion, it makes NO sense to compare them, since people are so pro-FWD/AWD and anti-RWD. *shrugs* Cort:34swm."Mr Monte Carlo.Mr Road Trip".pig valve.pacemaker WRMNshowcase.lego.HO.model.MCs.RT.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "I'm not the only person with these things in mind" ...

Ironically, some people tend to think that the modern gidgets DO fix inattention and carelessness. But, too many times, I've seen collisions to prove otherwise..... Keep us informed, Sly.

Heh ... well, this certainly wasn't supposed to be a "downer" topic ... sorry 2007 was so bad for so many people . It wasn't that bad for me.... While cars help set up the "timeline of life" as much as music does [which is why I love doing the radio shows ... to return in January ... more later], I somehow forgot to note some TV shows in that mix. I had thought about it while typing the original post, but forgot to include them. So, a bit late: 1977 TV shows included ... ABC's "Laverne & Shirley"; ABC's "Happy Days"; ABC's "Charlie's Angels"; CBS' "All In The Family"; NBC's "Little House On The Prairie"; and CBS' "Alice". 1982 TV shows included ... CBS' "Dallas"; CBS' "Magnum PI"; ABC's "The Love Boat"; and CBS' "The Jeffersons". 1987 TV shows included ... NBC's "The Cosby Show"; NBC's "Cheers"; NBC's "The Golden Girls"; ABC's "Growing Pains"; ABC's "Who's The Boss?"; CBS' "Murder, She Wrote"; NBC's "ALF"; ABC's "The Wonder Years"; ABC's "Moonlighting"; and NBC's "LA Law". 1992 TV shows included ... ABC's "Home Improvement"; CBS' "Murphy Brown"; CBS' "Murder, She Wrote"; NBC's "Cheers"; and CBS' "Northern Exposure". 1997 TV shows included ... CBS' "Cybill"; NBC's "Friends"; ABC's "Spin City"; CBS' "Touched By An Angel"; CBS' "Early Edition"; and ABC's "Home Improvement". 2002 TV shows included ... WB's "Smallville"; NBC's "Will & Grace"; FOX's "Boston Public"; ABC's "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter"; CBS' "CSI"; and ABC's "NYPD Blue".

...And they'd get one step closer with that FWD car if they renamed it something else, instead of doing like they've done since the mid-1980s with the Toyota Nova and slapping classic Ch#$r%*et names on cars that don't have that magic ... which drives some enthusiasts (woops, wait, sorry, ONLY me) absolutely crazy.
