A Horse With No Name

Here is a very glowing/positive report of Acuras AWD system... http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drive...topanel..1.*#20 Comments? Any thoughts on the G8's place in the sport sedan hierarchy, or of what sport sedan you would buy if you weren't going to buy GM? Chris

...in this world of bland, FWD jellybeans, it is a rebel. It's also more of a traditional "hot rod" in the way it feels as a car, and in a lot of ways it reminds me of the great 4 door Bonnevilles, Electras, and Impalas of the late 60's. Chris

It's not a bad car, but it is a larger car than I personally like, and it is FWD. And even though it is not badly styled, I still think it (Accord) is kinda bland. Chris

Certainly there will be a whole lot less working people, so we will all become poor together, unless we work for Citigroup or AIG or something. Chris

One final toyota note...during the last SCCA autocross of the year, my son Joel was riding with a female driver in a Toyota MR2. Everytime she got up on the wheel to go around a corner, she screamed "turn, BITCH, Turn" at her car. Maybe it's just me, but a female race car driver calling her car a bitch and telling it to scream strikes me as funny. Chris

Gm is coming out with a whole new roadster in 2012, supposedly. I want to see what they do with a follow up... Chris

Thomas Jefferson understood the danger of putting the power to control the currency of a nation in the hands of a few individuals in the form of a monopolistic central bank. This is why he opposed Alexander Hamilton's scheme to establish the First Bank of the United States. Let me repeat what he said in 1791:"If the American people ever allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied." Quoted for truth. The whole thing seems to just love wealth from the working classes to the wealthy. Chris

Exactly. GM needs to find the people behind the MINI ad campaign and hire them... Chris

Going to North Carolina to see my parents, taking two of my children. Chris

Actually the Fit is the only Honda I find remotely appealing right now... Chris

BTW, tieing it into "change" and Obama is a brilliant idea in one sense, if you could do it without alienating the Republican base that buys GM. But yeah,a campaign for "change" might not be a bad idea. Chris

IMHO, Grey G6 FTW, BTW.

Why not invade France...it's warmer, and you won't have to worry about them defending themselves. Chris

Then if your reading this thread, your in the right place... Chris

I would hate to think of what is in that freezer. One thing for sure, if I ever meet Satty and he offers me a beer from that freezer...I ain't gonna drink it. Chris

Have you considered thearapy, dude? Chris

Given the way things are going right now...the three of us left working in the lower 48 can carpool in the Astra to Wendy's...only to find out we've lost our job to illegal aliens. Chris

Not any more awkward than the discussions we have here at C and G. Chris

An Astra 5 door would make a good, boring family car...and it would be a better 'family" car than a Cobalt methinks. i also think given how badly the Astra has tanked you should be able to buy one in about two years with very low miles for about the price of a good pair of roller skates. Chris/66

Actually, Satty, you do just fine at killing a boner. Because sometimes when I read your stuff I think the human race ought to stop reproducing... (just kidding, bro!) Chris

Only if you don't have a cow... Chris

We need to have another thread about sex, so we can have a thread about getting strange, which would be strange, but not strange by cheers and gears standards. And then we could Polka with Dot, but only if we smelled it first... And then if we smelled it...we would want to go fishing...because everytime I smell fish, I want to go fishing. I'm fishing for strange, by the way, but strangely I'm not fishing for the strange I was talking about when I started this thread. Where were we, then? Chris
