  1. This has actually happened to two of my friends...their parents have backed into their cars...talk about a nightmare...
  2. definitely 9/11... I was in homeroom in 8th grade and we just stayed there watching it on the news until they closed the schools... The fall of the Berlin Wall, and the collapse of the Soviet Union are other big ones, but I wasn't old enough to personally remember them...
  3. I guess I don't understand what the big deal is...I'm Hispanic, but that shouldn't be an issue...the point is that if they are here illegally then something needs to be done. I don't necessarily think that this bill is the best way, but at least it's something...
  4. Looks great! I bet this would do way better than the Volt internationally...
  5. I usually don't notice seats until it's a long drive, so I'd have to say my mom's 03 Impala...my ass and back were so sore after 6 hours, I didn't want to drive back a week later...
  6. Well, I know I'll probably be going to Pittsburgh quite a bit, because I have some friends at UPitt. I'm hoping that there might be some good outdoor recreation that doesn't require going all the way to Presque Isle (sp?). I was kind of guessing that it might be similar to the little towns in Wyoming, like I where I grew up...I guess I'm not looking for anyting too specific...the only places I've ever lived have been fairly small, except for Kansas City
  7. Hey guys, I know that at least some of you are from PA, and was hoping you could help me out. I am supposed to be moving to Grove City in about a month, and was hoping someone could tell me what the area is like. All I know is that it's a small town about half way between Pittsburgh and Erie. So what kind of recreation is there, is it a nice area, etc?
  8. I thought Encore was being thrown around for the CUV...
  9. Yup...ha ha...only the LaCrosse will be around after next year...
  10. The only Fusion I've driven was a V6, but I've rented Malibu's with the EcoTech, and I think it is a very competent engine for normal day to day driving. I think it really depends on styling, although both are hard to beat in the segment as far as that goes...
  11. I think it might be partly that, but I also think that if another automaker offered something in the class I'd consider it. I already know the front runner for replacing my Grand Cherokee is the 2011 Grand Cherokee, possibly a Toureg, or Pathfinder but those are more unlikely. If GM offered a midsize SUV (or even a CUV that has some real offroad prowess) I'd definitely consider it...
  12. I think the Yeti is cool, but at the same time, I wonder how many Americans really want to decide between multiple diesels and gasoline engines. I think that even fewer would choose a manual transmission. I would like the options and I'm sure alot of other people here would, but we aren't typical consumers, and in reality it could end up being a waste of development money...
  13. I agree, I used to do deliveries and trades for the local Nissan/Honda dealership here and we would drive to Denver, Salt Lake, and lots of places in between all the time. Denver is only about 130 miles, but Salt Lake is almost 400 It's just a shame that you've had so many problems, especially since it is for someone else...
  14. Congrats! I still think that the Envoy is one of the most handsome SUV's out there...it has aged much better than most of GM's designs from the same time frame

    Buick Ad

    Saw an ad today for the Buick LaCrosse while reading my Hispanic Business magazine and noticed something that made me laugh. The ad shows the LaCrosse CXS and ES 350 side by side and has a list of features and awards, but the very last line says "Desaceleracion del vehiculo robado" It basically translates to "stolen vehicle slow down." It then says "no disponable" (not available) under the ES and "OnStar/ 1 ano estandar" (one year standard) under the Buick. I know GM has been advertising this for a while now, but it made me think of the ES's acceleration issue... Made me wonder if it was meant to be a slap in the face...
  16. I voted for a coupe, because I definitely think they are a more emotional vehicle, but I think a good wagon or hatch can be sexy too...and of course I love my Jeep, so the SUV can't be counted out for me
  17. I have always liked the current Avalanche...congrats!
  18. I don't think most people realize that "Mexican food" and "Chinese food" are extremely Americanized in 95% of restaraunts. Then again, to me real mexican food involves mostly beans, rice, potatoes, and meat. It's the way my grandparents/parents raised all of us kids. There is alot of unique foods that people don't see though. I especially love Cuban and Brazilian food too.
  19. With you on that one. Also: chocolate/chocolate flavored stuff raw onions breads/cookies with nuts in them...bleh Can't forget Taco Bell either...haven't eaten it in years, and don't plan to ever again. Otherwise, if it's edible I'll probably eat it
  20. I agree with Olds on this one...if he found a buyer and was going to repay the loan, the bank had ABSOLUTELY no right to foreclose on him. Trying to make a (bigger) profit off of him instead of just taking what they originally had agreed to is bull$h!.
  21. That would seem to be what I was missing...thanks
  22. While the prospect of a Regal wagon (and coupe too) excite me, all I can see that has Buick badges in those pictures are the sedans in the first pic. The rear shot is hard to see the badge, and on the front shot of the wagons, I can see a horizontal grille, not vertical...am I missing something here?
  23. I voted for the GMC, but mostly because I like the interior design better. (I also think it's a very handsome SUV that has aged well.) The lower miles on the Buick and the fact that it's a Buick make it a good decision as well.
  24. I liked the first and third one...
