A Horse With No Name

Happy birthday

+1 Although I also like Pizza with lots of different cheeses. I tend to be Pizza bipolar, actually...either Chicago deep dish style or like Harley Earl said, simple and pure. Chris

Excellent and well written, Drew! Chris

Had one of my cars in for an oil change, in the next bay was a six or seven year old Toyota. After about 7 years it was so rusted that they told the owner the car was too shot to perform an alignment. I know Ohio has bad winters, but there are 1984 Cutlasss Cieras and such running around here doing just fine. The shop said that toyotas were the WORST cars on the road for rust anymore. Chris

Yes, it would...although sometimes prototypes cannot be driven upon "public" roads for liability reasons. Chris

Sorry to hear about your husband, looks like your son got a much nicer gift than the Civic you were thinking about... Chris

I like tiger, but agree GM can find a better spokesperson for Buick.

Got into an arguement (okay, spirited discussion) with an Idiot about imported cars at a Pizza resteraunt the other night that made me spit my pepperoni about half way across the room. Clueless guy wanted to argue that the Corvette was an import because Zora Arkus Duntov wasn't a natural born American... What is the dumbest thing you have ever heard in a discussion about cars? Chris

Excellent letter, thanks for sharing this PCS. I am beginning to think our biggest problem as Americans is that we no longer are all that concerned about our fellow Americans. Chris

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.
