  1. I'm still calling you Paulie, BTW. I hope it's a good day - stay warm!
  2. In the video, it is clear the camera is trying to defend itself by constantly moving away from the subject.
  3. Great thread idea. Please, keep them coming!
  4. Um, nooooo, that is a 1973 Pontiac Catalina.
  5. An embarrassment to Ford's luxury brand, especially after the stunning, aluminum F-150. From a distance, it is simply a nose job on an old tank. Hopefully, this is not a "mid-cycle refresh", as that would mean another ten years with this Russian limo face. Although the more I read about the new Pickup, the more concerns I have about the aluminum aspect.
  6. This could be Fleetwood.
  7. Insurance = legal extortion. You pay your premiums for years... then have a claim and either your premiums go up, or they drop you. And so many people are going to $1000, and even higher deductibles that they can't pay when the time comes. All in an effort to save a few bucks in premiums. Or their agents fail to sell them rental coverage on their policy, which is usually cheaper than paying for one day of rental out of pocket. We see all kinds of crazy stuff.
  8. Sounds fantastic. I have no photoshopping skills, but I could easily play a victim and describe what a variant looks like to one of our police sketch artists.
  9. I wanted to elicit a response. It worked. I even posted a Love Ewe.
  10. Rock on, man! Have a good one, sir.
  11. I would start by having that 2015 Tahoe towed to my driveway for safekeeping.
  12. I pay $900/year for Flo to insure my VW. I was kicked off my grandfather's Erie policy when I was 19, and have been paying for my own since then.
  13. Ain't seen ya in a while, but maybe you'll come in and see this. Happy 43rd birthday, NOS!
  14. Well, this is a new development, building a GMC with higher grade interior materials over a given Chevy counterpart. So I would say it should be more than enough.
  15. Luckily I was not "upside down" on any of these recent vehicles when I went to trade them in. I got full retail in my Fiesta settlement, more than I paid for it.
  16. GMC Granite pickup, from 2011 I believe.
  17. So, in essence, what we're advocating here is, stupid Josh and Emily would rather have their face in an electronic device than drive. So... instead of enforcing distracted driving laws, we throw up our hands and say "you know what, we're so sorry we tried to get your face out of your electronic device. You've been right all along, here's a FREAKING SELF DRIVING CAR!" Luuuuuuudicrous!!!
  18. I had my '10 Colorado for a little over a year, traded on the '11 Fiesta in March, 2011. Totaled the car in an accident in August, 2011. Bought a 2012 Cruze LT to replace it. Decided that, while it was a nice car, it didn't fit me, so I traded it in November, 2011 for a 2012 Jeep Patriot. Bodyshop I worked at closed its doors in May, 2012, and my new job requires a commute of nearly 50 miles a day, round trip, and the Patriot was giving me 21 MPG with a 13 gallon tank, so I started looking and took a poll here at C&G, and someone mentioned "VW TDi"... a lightbulb went on in my head... dealer in the town I work in had this base model Beetle TDi, and I really liked it on the test drive, so I took the plunge yet again. The Beetle is my 5th brand new vehicle since 2010. Colorado, Fiesta, Cruze, Patriot, Beetle. Crazy, eh?
  19. Every one of those musclebound heroes started somewhere, babby. Just do it.
  20. It has become apparent that it was a bubble in the cooling system when it was refilled. I see nothing leaking, but I am still carrying that jug of coolant in the car. And some a-hole opened their car door onto my right front fender and put a ding in it and chipped the clearcoat. It will be a year old on March 7th.
