A Horse With No Name

...assuming it would work out that way...yes. But a lot of chryco customers might go somehwere elese other than GM. Chris

Hmmm....+1 on the Olds version... Chris

WOW! Wish I could buy a small diesel car like that now. MINI sells a diesel in europe that gets that kind of fuel economy, IIRC. Chris

Great Quote! Chris

I don't like the VW six, actually. It just doesn't feel "right" somehow to me. And the Passat seems to lack the handling of some of the smaller VW products. Passats seemed to be the worst for reliability amoung the VW's. It will be interesting to see how American Labor changes or improves the reliability thing. I do know the cars built in Brazil and Mexico have had their fair share of problems. Chris

Glad to see it running. this has been a very bad day, and seeing the wagon up and under its own power is a nice way to end things. Chris

...and as an Off topic aside, local Pontiac dealer has a Solstice GXP with black leather and a tan top, car is white. Nice combo! Just wish I felt better about the economy/my job. Chris

Kappa's are WAY under rated. There is a reason I want a Sky/Solstice in my garage! Chris

Sadly, I think your right. What bother me is that when I look back at say the 1960's Chrysler had some great engeneering. Chris

Coming with Manual Trannies is not a bad thing. My 12 year old wants a beetle when she turns 16. I told her she would have to get a manual because VW's autotrajics are so bad. Chris

+1 Chris

Just glad to see that your voting. And I hope we are all still friends after the election. GM4Life and I may disagree about McCain...but we both love GM cars. GM FTW! Chris

Like 'Camino said, I have a BAD feeling about this. Chris

QUOTE (Chevy Nick @ Oct 29 2008, 05:33 PM) I'm always amazed when people ask me if my Corvette is new. Sorry, it's 9 years old. It is still a nice looking car! Chris

+1 Chris

Whoever wins, I want a Pontiac in the garage. But I want it to be a Solstice. Chris

+1 Chris

In some ways your right it is the lesser of two evils. However, even if Obama is terrible, I still feel like he is a step in the right direction. We need to start working on- 1. Environment 2. Deficiet/debt reduction 3. Alternative energy 4. Dplomacy, esp. in the middle east 5. Education 6. Health care 7. Equal rights fro minorities 8. Rights for gay people 9. Support for the working class All of which have been a part of the democratic way of thinking for a long time. Even if all we do is get the discussion started on these, it is a step in the right direction, IMHO. Chris

You are quite right, sir. Chris

+1 Chris. I actually really liked him in 2000. What is interesting is that I am reading some political books right now that were written 3-7 years ago, mostly from a liberal point of view. A lot of liberals back then really liked McCain. It would indeed be interesting if the McCain of 2000 was running now. Chris

FWIW- I don't like how negative his campaign is, I don't like him from a policy point of view, don't trust him on the war (I have a son who is almost draft age) don't trust his ethics, don't hear any real ideas from the man. I'd be open to voting for a Republican... but I've been following this thing for months and McCain just hasn't given me any real reason from a policy or leadership point of view to vote for him. Chris

Ford was a very good president, and Noxon had some very good policies. Ike was a wonderful president, and I would be proud to vote for a Republican president with the right kind of values. This whole reagan/Bush neocon mentality has GOT to go, though. Chris

This cost McCain about 6 or 7 votes amoung friends of mine. I'd love to know how many it cost him nationwide. Not that I mind, mind you...but... Chris

Agreed 100%. Given the Court and the 2000 election, I don't want any more republican choices appointed to Supreme Court Justice. Chris

Nothing wrong with being optimistic. Being visionary and believing in the future is part of being liberal/progressive. Being reactionary and fearing the future is part of being Neocon. Chris
