I saw a silver Bentley Continental Flying Spur today. It's attractive, but it doesn't quite have the presence of an Arnage.

I like the Alcantara material for the seats. Not a bad way to spruce up a fading car.

Dan Neil of the L.A. Times drives the Chevy Aveo and gives it a surprisingly positive review. An excerpt: That said, there's something quite agreeable about the Aveo. It's comfortable, solidly constructed, and surprisingly eager to please. The little dual-cam motor will happily pull its guts out to get up to speed. The ride quality is reasonably composed for a short-wheelbase (97.6 inches) commuter car, and the interior noise levels more than respectable. The exterior paint quality and panel gap consistency are excellent. And, let me just say, hand-cranked windows? What a clever idea. The biggest surprise in the Aveo is the interior's quality. The subject of a major push by GM, the interior is full of over-achieving fabrics, like the dark nail-head upholstery in the door gussets and seats, as well as respectable faux alloy trim on the dash and door pulls, and dense dash vinyl. The switchgear is attractive and well placed; the silver-ringed, black-faced instruments are cleanly legible and well executed. I actually enjoyed my week in the glamour-deprived Aveo. It could be just my contrarian streak, but I felt a warm glow of moral satisfaction in this car, which clearly announced my disdain for L.A.'s automotive posturing. Remember, Mr. Valet Man, park it out front. Full Article

It's an honest looking minivan. I think this will put DCX back to the top of the class for minivans. Good feature set.

I don't normally do resolutions, but this year I'm going to do something different: take a real vacation. I have so much vacation leave built up that I plan to take a couple months off this summer. I plan to visit Toronto for a few days, and I may go visit my birthplace, Sweet Home Alabama. I think the rest of the free time will drive me crazy.

This thing is growing on me. The rear is my favorite part, because it's a modern interpretation of the classic Mark rear. The emblem just needs to be downsized. The grille in front could be made smaller too.

One of these years, "Word Association" will end up on the Cheers or Jeers Hall of Fame.I have a couple other things to acknowledge in the past year. This was my personal favorite concept, though I know most people probably don't share the sentiment: Also, I didn't want to be dropping member names left and right, but I really enjoy the posts by VenSeattle, moltar, trinacriabob, and sometimes regfootball. They all have a maturity or a worldliness about them. And turbo200's posts are well thought-out and his perceptions are usually right on the money.

It's been really bad today with the errors.
