  1. Just one tube sock is all you really need to go grocery shopping. Anything more is just asking for trouble. What if you get a belt loop caught on the broccoli and pull the whole display down? That would be embarrassing.

    reg, are you saying with your above smiley that Chili's serves horse that's so underdone you have to kill it at the table? Vipes, bud, why are you trying to make me feel guilty? You know I care about you and want to see you do right.
  3. evok's sales comparisons above prove my point that GM killed themselves with the drastic downsizing, and subsequent loss of authenticity and character of two of GM's most revered nameplates. It was one thing to go from 1978 to 1979, but from '84 to '85 was a complete and utter disaster for the E bodies. Same thing for the G-bodies when they were switched, nay, gutted, to become the GM-10/W bodies. GM at that point shied away from what they did best... provide cars Americans wanted, felt good to buy and be seen in. EDIT: this post was meant for evok's 10:51 post. evok's above post could be interpreted to mean GM neglected the G bodies through these years. Instead of freshening a proven formula, they let the cars stagnate, then threw everything out and stuck us with the GM-10s in 1988.
  4. Sounds great! I can't wait to see it. Buick needs a sportier car. The Super trim designation is a perfect fit, and any move to embolden the LaCrosse's looks is welcome.
  5. The G-body coupes sold well up until the time they were killed, replaced by the GM-10/W body cars... which were so wrong. GM killed themselves then.
  6. Good luck with everything after the painful decision, Camino.
  7. The Challenger won't appeal to people who would buy a 300C coupe or convertible. The Challenger will be doomed to boutique status if it is priced too high. Mustang has set the price for this segment. Any competitor must meet Ford pricewise for sustained success. Chrysler could do what GM should do. Give us a 300 coupe and convertible. Challenger can suffice as Charger's coupe cousin. Ford needs the 427 Concept as their next fullsize sedan. A Marquis version for Mercury with the same attitude as McGarret's on Hawaii 5-0 (hint: marketing!) would lift Mercury out of the grave, and a Cougar on the Mustang wheelbase would help as well.
  8. You're gonna need a bigger bucket to change the earl.

    Yes, sorry Bob, I forgot to respond to you the first time you asked above, so I edited that post further up the thread. It's camping this weekend, maybe a few daytrips to the beach in between, with another camping trip sprinkled in somewhere perhaps. My plans have been kind of scrambled, to say the least.

  11. No it isn't.
  12. A two door 300 and Charger would sell well enough too. Damn, a 300C coupe or two door convertible would rock.
  13. hahaHAAA!!!! Good Lord Almighty, that's nutty!
  14. You're still hot. You don't look a day over 90! Have a good one. :AH-HA_wink:
  15. Those are sweet.
  16. I only put this thread up because RBB posted that he misread the title of the other, much more serious thread. No disrespect meant toward americanrevolution2005 at all, just trying to keep his mind off his situation. I get what you mean, reg. Sometimes I look down and see this lump going down to my left knee and I have to adjust myself. Yahright.
  17. Aveo hatchback. Cadillac Sixteen's engine. No room for seats. Wait, this could be cool.

    Hehehe, reg, if you were here, you'd get a dutch rub for that one. Thanks a ton for all the good wishes, guys. I love this place. No sign of my errant Puerto Rican last night. You know what that means? Goodbye in Spanish. Eff him!
  19. We all remain boys when it comes to toys. I love it. Best of luck to him.
  20. stone (gee thanks for the mention up above, capriceman)
  21. Be careful. You know what happened to Justin Timberlake when he got that thought at the Super Bowl.
  22. At the very least, there needs to be a six cylinder version of the GTO, called something other than GTO. If Chevrolet stays in NASCAR, they can sell enough RWD Monte Carlos to keep the nameplate going. RWD alone is enough to shake the car out of its doldrums, guaranteed.

    Yeah, I have my confirmation page right here on the desk, printed off PA's website. My former employer said they would not fight my application for UC benefits. They're also paying me one more week's salary, two weeks' vacation pay, and my share of our monthly bonus when it comes due. EDIT: CB, I'm going to the beach, and I'm going camping this weekend. Nothing major, just relaxing.
