It's NEW new car time...perhaps
Yup, in this situation that's what I'd do... We got 35 on the Highway this spring and consistently get about 22-23 in town. Our Canadian-Spec LS with the Sport Package (Which makes it essentially an American LT1 Model with a few extra options) had 6500 Miles on it when we bought it and it was $18'500 (Expect to pay like 2-3 Grand less in the states), came with Alloys, Spoiler, Leather Wheel with Audio Controls, XM, OnStar, Split Folding Backseat, FlexFuel Engine. I can't think of a better bargain.

3.6 HF crank and cam issues
I know. NOTHING can go wrong with this engine considering they're putting them in so many cars and considering how important it is to the turnaround plan. I had a bad feeling that this might happen, let's hope they're just isolated incidents.

Get Out Now! (or as soon as you think prudent)
The Saudis have a minimal effect at best... 2/3 of the Oil America Consumes comes from within North America, the lions share of it from Canada. The rest is divvied up between Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, other Gulf Countries. I definitely agree with this statement. My gut tells me this will happen sometime after Christmas... Now if Gas Prices follow suit... That's another matter.

Besides GM...
Well, If we're talking luxury, then Audi and Jaguar for me. I especially love the A6 and the XJ. Take away Buick and Cadillac and those two are at the top of my list. Very Stately Very Conservative

Besides GM...

Is this an Uncamo'd shot of the New Cobalt?
Am I the only one that thinks this thing looks unforgivingly like a Hyundai?
-
Is this an Uncamo'd shot of the New Cobalt?
BLEH. I'll stick with my Impala and G5. Yuck, Just Yuck. The new Impala better look better than this, but Since GME is doing it and not GM-DAT I'm sure looks won't be an issue.

Perspectives on Life
Nope, he grew up on a farm northeast of Edmonton and worked as a steward on the Canadian Pacific Railway first class dining car during the war... Having two young boys in the early 50s he didn't go to Korea. He worked up in Edmonton 'till 1962 for various things when my grandparents moved with my dad and uncles to Brooklyn... He worked as a plasterer for Donald Trump Sr and after that he worked for American Linen driving the delivery trucks... They returned to Canada in 1973 and he worked as a driver and eventually a supervisor/manager for Canadian Linen until he retired in 1990. He had a bypass about fifteen years ago, but he walks three miles a day, so otherwise he's tip top. They just have him on O2, not even an IV right now... So the doctors seem somewhat confident that nothing has progressed too far.

Perspectives on Life
Well... Today's my brother's birthday, he turned 14. I still remember that morning like it was yesterday- I spent the night at my grandparents place and we rushed over to the Rockyview Hospital in their then new Emerald Green 1994 Neon Sport Sedan (with the automatic) so I could see my new baby brother... We were trying to meet my dad but when he was going down an elevator we were going up and vice versa- my grandfather was 65 then. Today, in that very hospital, two floors above the maternity ward, my grandfather lies suffering from congestive heart failure and a collapsed lung at age 80 (He's fine for now)... We're not sure what's the cause but they think it's a leaky valve... and We're not sure if it's operable. Makes you think doesn't it?

Toyota denies Tacoma is defective
I know someone in the mountains northeast of LA who has a 2005 Tacoma like the one mentioned, he's had this happen to him as well and it scared the living crap out of him.

I need a new exciting GM model intro fix
Invicta's coming out soon... That's the main one for me. I'm also really excited to see what they cook up to Replace the DTS, NG Astra, and what they cook up for an Alpha Buick.

It's NEW new car time...perhaps
Yeah, I'd look at the Aura if I was you... But then again if it was my situation I'd buy a cheap GM Certified Impala or LaCrosse

Dear Audi...
Get a Silver Aston [/nuff said] In all seriousness, if I was going to buy an expensive sports car, The DB9 was it... Now that's my kind of car.

GM announces big changes to deal with higher gas prices
Yeah, I've had that happen to me... I Drove the Impala to school on the other day because my car was in for a tire rotation, and I got razzed on by a couple of people I know, including some members of the "Youth For Justice" Committee, because they saw my car as a giant, gas eating, earth killing dinosaur (To be fair- along with an Oldsmobile 88, Buick LeSabre, and a 1980s Jag, it was among the biggest cars in the lot). One of my friends is a greenie and has a 2004 Camry XLE V6- he told me I was lying when I said it got 22MPG City.
