a sincere "thank you" from women everywhere. those guys were hanging around looking for trouble by the sound of things, and four men starting off harassing one woman can only go in one direction - worse. I truly hope she made you feel appreciated for what you did. Think of it this way - if it was your wife or daughter in the exact same situation, wouldn't you want someone to offer help? I think you did the right thing.

Well Guys, let me tell ya....... I'm probably the only Mom whose going to answer this one. However, not only am I a Mom, but I've got one too. My Mom used to drive me nuts, offering her opinion, asking personal questions, I honestly don't know how many times a day I answer the phone and hear "just me!" and its my Mom. Last year, my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. The thought of never hearing her unsolicited opinions, her asking personal questions, or all the phone calls I might miss just about did me in. I suddenly realized, here I was with two daughters of my own, but I wasn't quite ready to let go of my own mother. So I listen to all of her unsolicited opinions. If I think they're crazy, I laugh, and most times she does too. If she asks me a personal question, I more likely than not answer it. If I'm old enough for whatever behaviour, I'm old enough to own it. The phone calls? Nice little breaks in my day. There's not another "just me" that I'd rather hear from, except of course, my own daughters! Cut your mothers some slack boys! They had you, raised you, love you and want to stay connected. They may never understand you, but they'll do their damnest to try, and if they can't they'll love you anyway.

I read this post diferently - I thought it was a discreet way for Blu to tell us he met somebody....

My deepest sympathies for you and your loved ones during this difficult time.

I know my next purchase, for summer driving next year i've already ordered an 07 Solstice GXP. I ordered it in emerald green - only problem is that in Ontario right now, production is on hold, being built by manual allocation dealer to dealer. I'm hoping to have it by May/June (and that's if I'm damn lucky).

I'm in the 70-90 category - a little closer to the 70 than the 90 (and yes, its in Cdn)

Trina, my secretary opens my mail all the time. Its a HUGE timesaver, and I get it in piles, urgent, sometime, and file under G. Anything that comes here that I DON"T want open, I ask be addressed "personal and confidential". It works for us - maybe would work for you?

Actually, Canada won't deny a US warranty once the vehicle has been registered for 6 mos in Canada or has 12, 000 km on the odometer. For example, you could buy and register an '06 with 5000 km on it, you would be denied warranty until it has 12,000 km on it (or had been registered in Cda for 6 months). Part of our hassle is changing the instrument cluster, I don't know if that's because our dealership is reselling the vehicle, or part of the cross border requirement, but I would check that out too. BTW, other car makers may be different, this is GM specific.

Working in a dealership, I haven't had to wash my cars for quite a while, however, I do occasionally wash customers' cars if need be.... Its not an unusual sight to see me back there, skirt, heels, sleeves rolled up helping/nagging/pressuring our detail team.

congratulations! daughters are excellent!

au contraire, reg, LOVE the stuff. It is my fave food to eat on long drives, gives me something to do.... LOL

oh, didn't mean your behaviour, au contraire, just meant there's a perfect lesson in being patient, not jumping to conclusions and doing the right thing. You were all of the above, and although i've no doubt of huge stress, it all worked out in the end....

While I am very happy for the weight that's been lifted off your shoulders - there's a lesson in all this mess - don't lose the lesson!!!! Glad to hear everything worked out for you! <whew>

You guys are so sweet, but considering I've two daughters now in highschool, I am turning 30 this year.........

I am going to try to act surprised when my friends throw me the surprise birthday party they don't think I know about. I'm trying to think of some "reverse" surprise for THEM, but so far, short of just not showing up, (which is not even an option) I haven't come up with anything. Anyway, will be a great time and I appreciate their hard work!

I think the Pontiac Buick GMC dealerships are a stroke of genius. Its incredibley easy to walk a customer through each vehicle brand for each stage of their life, and extremely convenient to have these three brands in the same store. Am I misreading your thread in that you'd like Pontiac and Chevrolet paired up? That to me makes no sense.

I told this story at lunch today - oh yeah - i made people gag.... just one thing - MUST SEE VIDEO

Welcome! I have been on and off this board for a few years now (at least!) and these guys have a collective bark that's worse than their bite! LOL You'll find something to like about everyone (with some - more things than others! LOL) but all in all these guys keep me educated, informed and in the loop. You'll enjoy it here!

Poor Dart - you must be soooo stressed! You could always call and tell her you would like a DNA test, and that if the baby is determined to be yours you will be starting court proceedings to gain custody and will raise the child here. You'd just be bringing the child - not her. That bluff may bring out a little more info, or cause her to back off completely if she's scamming you. The important part is to not admit anything, not to send money, nothing that might come back to implicate you later. Good Luck - keep us posted!

But Bri, that wasn't the question. Cadillac's can't be serviced at all GM dealers either.....

absolutely - warranty work included.

Hi Guys: I wouldn't drive a car WITHOUT a sunroof - i've never had one leak and like Blu said, most leaks are due to lack of customer maintenance rather than factory defect. I am driving a G6 Gt with the panoramic roof, and I love it even more than the convertible. It tends to be a little more wind noise than the regular sunroof, but not enough to make it inconvenient...

Congratulations Satty! Parenthood is undoubtedly one of the toughest jobs you'll take on, but with the most fulfilling rewards! The first few weeks are a whirlwind of learning, visitors, and tons of attention, but it'll all calm down and you'll have time to enjoy! Glad to hear Dawn's doing well, all the best to both of you! Stacey

Am I just slow today? I don't see what's so akward about that first pic. I thought scrolling down that maybe they'd have the same outfit, or something, but I must be blondeing out, cause I don't get it....

"a couple of times" and that's the end of the story LOL
