How do you brand yourself?
I consider myself Socially Progressive/Liberal and Fiscally Conservative, so I guess that doesn't put me firmly in either category but I identify with Goldwater Conservatism because NeoCons Suck. Goldwater's "Different Strokes for Different Folks" approach to social policy in the US appeals to me. I hate what Reagan, and the Bushes did to the GOP turning it to a Morality Issues party. Goldwater was great but I yearn for moderates in the mantle of Ford and Nixon as well. Better keep dreaming because nothing's happening anytime soon that might realize this.

Odds n' Ends
It's a problem whichever switch is used... I appreciate your explanation, I always like to get a good explanation before I take it to the dealer as I don't have full confidence in their diagnostic procedure lately.

Odds n' Ends
Some problems on our cars I thought I'd ask about... The first is on my Granddad's 2007 Impala LS (Optioned out just like ours except it's black). (as he describes it to me) When the car is warmed up and has been running for a bit, and the air conditioner is off, there is a a Rotten Egg smell coming through the vents with the air. When the air conditioner is on (recirc) or when the fan is off, the smell isn't there. The next few are on my G5: -When the car is off for a bit the gauges have a tendency to move up and down all by themselves for a while every once in a while. The best way to describe it is that the gauges are having siezures. -The car makes a buzzy, vibrating scrubbing noise sometimes during deceleration and coasting could my brakes be worn out/out of alignment, or is it the tires? I know I need tires soon. -The LR window occasionally stops working and I have to hold the button down and slam the door to make it work, and then it'll work for a while and then jam/stop rolling down. -A couple of times the RR window will roll down by itself if the window lock isn't on Any ideas on this guys?

McCain's trend
True Social Conservatives (ie Goldwater era Conservatives) are all about not getting in others way as long as they aren't hurting anybody (Goldwater himself was pro Homosexuals in the Military, pro choice etc, and said once that Jerry Falwell aught to be kicked in the ass...) Religious zealots who hijacked the Republican party and the term "Social Conservative". In my world Religious special interest groups won't be allowed to dictate the platform of a party.

Blast from the Past
The Irony in this is the MSRP of an Uplander similarly equipped as our 1999 Venture LS goes for 34.400$CDN...

Police Cars
Yeah, i think the RCMP in Nova Scotia used Volvos for a while in the 80s. (Up until 1999 Volvo had a plant in Halifax, NS). Nova Scotians must support what they build because NS per capita is one of their best North American Markets.

Ironically still more manly than their parking enforcement circus cars.

It's hard to picture "Catalina" and "Enforcer" in the same sentence.

Police Cars
My Dad did 25years with the RCMP and is now a Private Investigator, he always attested that the midnight blue cars with white doors were more distinctive. I tend to agree.
