I thought one article said state funeral was offered ?

I wish more Judges, Police officers, Lawyers, Doctors, Corporate Execs, journalists, photographers and other public servants(stateworkers) would get pulled over for their wrong doings and made public example of...............like say put in head and arm locks in town square..........so we could kick them in passing, maybe a few ear twisters, some gentle eye gouging, maybe just a few simple slaps to the face................yea! that kind of stuff. Then who would waste any time making large of someone so base as Paris Hilton. The real entertainment would be a short walk to town square.

Thats too bad, many of the greatest drivers are dead, comes with the ability to drive on the very edge. THough many also died from freakish things like a fiber chard straight through the eye, or the petty little accident that killed Earnhart. Im glad I read enough to find the "American" Peter Brock. I was going to say isnt that the same guy that was instrumental designer for StingRay as well as Gumball Rally ? Now I see there are two Peter Brock's Im sorry so many Aussies may feel embaressed by Steve Irwin. That is his name BTW, IM pretty sure "The Croc Hunter" was the name of his show......... There was no guy named Led Zeppelin you know....... :AH-HA_wink: Frankly Im a bit embarressed for any Aussies that have some identity crisis with what Steve Irwin was about. Rather they hate the crocs and venimous or not. I never thought he was an attention whore, he simply had a zest for adventure so few have, like a big kid. From my view his angle was always about focus on the reptiles and their importance, habitat, and characteristics. Everyone else that did or does what he did look like wimps compared to him, Id say they were the ones only interested in the lime light. He also cattered to kids cause thats what he was, a big kid. Its all he ever knew, growing up with the life he grew up with. Frankly Id put both of these two on the same plain. Very focused, adrenilin seeking enthousiast, in highly dangerous fields, not really all that unrelated. I certainly would not say one was more accomplished than the other, seems to me they were both the tops in their field...............can any of us say the same of ourselves ?

Yea, it struck me today, "Last Kiss", I was a kid when that came out. Wasnt it Pearl Jam that recently rerecorded it ? Thanks for all the other answers too guys, now I remember what my mind shuts off sometimes. Early model you know, lots of quirks.................. I love that Jo Dee Messina tune That was a great era for country actually. Thats when I listened to country, everything was right in my life. Every Fri night Id be taking my load of wood to the papermill, cranking Country and watching the sun set. Best years of my life.

.............. I sure wish I could find a one year old GP for $7400

I second that, however useless it is. My Regal had a bit of a location problem with the window switches, a bit back too far. My wife could hardly reach them with the seat forward. Less of a problem for me but everything else was perfect. The seating and position proportions. But what the heck is a Joseph Abuud ?

thats just sick.............where do you come up with these bands ? thats a bit like ? Where oh where can my baby be one of the saddest songs of all times. We had a guy loose his young wife back in the late 60's to a head on, so that song was to close to home.

Sorry still makes no sence to me First I need to read it about 5 times to understand the trick language................. I think its saying they planned higher used resale value and screwed themselves. Then I guess your figures are in dollar losses per average vehical on used resale ? If so and if the vehical cost 20,000 new and the buy back was 10,000 isnt that pretty good income for 9-12 months ? But then the additional 2000 loss is the kicker ? So if Im following this correctly the problem is more after the fact not the initial sale ? So it still comes back to Americans hating American vehicals and their unwillingness to buy them ? I cant believe what used Hondas and Toyotas sell for, not to me they dont, Ive never seen a good deal on an Import, its like a luxury just in price.

Alot of songs there, wow. remember this rockin country tune, I dont know the name Bye bye love I'll catch you later got the lead foot down on my accelerater and the rearview mirror torn off I aint never lookin back and thats a fact I tried all I can imagine begged and pleaded in true lovers fashion but I got my pride Im takin' it for a ride Bye bye bye bye my baby bye bye I just always though that was so cleaver and so catchy It also reminded me of the episod in Gumball rally as the guy rips the mirror of the Ferrari and says "that which is behind you is of no importance" What was the name of the song about the guy who buys the Corvette from a dead soldiers Mom ? That was a bit of a heart breaker.......... Dire Straights or Mark Knoffler must have a car song or two, hes a collector. Jeff Beck - had a couple that excape me. He opens the album Jeff Becks Guitar Shop with some wild sounds thats come off sounding just like air tools and all noises in a shop, some really trick stuff. One older song is about a famous old Hot Rod & Builder I just cant come up with the name. Damn instrumentals......... Let it Roll by Little Feet, is that a car tune ? How about this, not exactly but it sets a mood On a lone lonesome highway East of Omaha you can listen to the engines moaning out that ................. Im tired

I think Steve Miller Band had a black bassist..but ? After the Animals, after War, Eric Burden released an album I cant remember much about exept that I loved it. His lead guitar player was black and very good, really smooth. That was a rock album. Earth Wind & Fire was R&B, werent they ? This "God Forgive" , what do they sound like ? DO they sing and work out some form of melody or is it that growling drill sargents from hell $h! ? I like Kings X what little Ive heard, I need to get after some of that too. Camino.................. I know...................

Sounds fishy to me, kinda like your improvising here. It also seems funny dealers can make a bit of profit in Canada but you claim in the States, dealing direct, GM cant even make any money. So this means the Canadian Rental Agencys are paying more for their cars than the US agencys + a bit for the dealers. Dem Canadians stupid...........ey ?

No, as you can see saturin is getting the new tranny first, along with the 3.6.............thats cause they have contributed so much to GM's bottom line................ Not that I care much about the tranny, its just two extra gears to search through, to climb a few simple hills, I bet they are going to be annoying around these parts. Shift, shift, shift, shift, up, down, up, down, up, down. I'm hopeing to see a car, the same car, same engine, go from the 4T65 to the 6sp and show some actual mileage improvements or 1/4 mile times. Id like to actually see it proven.

Thats great, now we can all have 9 litre V16 AWD Hemi Vortec twin turbo way tight whips..................................... Im with Bob I wish I could understand what made this oil, 5 miles below the surface of the sea ? Im thinking one of those Greek Gods must have been the God of Oil and went about injecting his majic rod deep into the surface of the earth. Well it is good news but it will make America loose site of reality again.

Well having gone to the historic races at Limerock this weekend, I have to say, your all boring me............... I saw stuff I have no idea what the heck they were. I mean I found out what they were and already forgot the odd names. Lots of old prewar machines there this year, very very good in that respect. Ford Amilcar Bugattis some thing I forget name off with a huge WWI aircraft V8, everything exposed, rockers, sleeves, pushrods, ect. kinda cool the Miller Special if thats what its actually called 36 Ford Old Grey Mare 32 Plymouth Sprinter 38 Ford Sprint 3 wheel Morgans, very fast BTW kept up with two of the big boys for a third great rare sheetmetal in the show area Ive seen for the first time was Alfa Romeo Montreal Fiat Dino 65 Jaguar 3.8 Sedan..........took best in show Diablo.........in the parking lot beside our G6 when we left Aston Martin DB2 52 54 Jaguar Xk120 M Allards 75 BMW 3.5 CSL Abarth 207A Biona others slipping my mind Great sheet metal Ive seen before at this show 250 GTO 250 Tour De France parked beside a chopped ?47 Caddy......I have some very priceless photos of these two side by side various Lolas, Lotus, Listers, Jags, Ferraris late 50's Alfa Romeo Giulieta/Veloce my favorite of this type of roadster some really cool Chevrons various Porsche, including one 79 935 track car - very hot - did practice but didnt race ? Ferrari Dino DB4, DB5 M1 and 27 66-70 Trans Am cars, which we've all seen plenty of but seeing them have a go on the track was most excellent. Some of the people dont really race, lack of skills, scared, priceless car but in every class there is a handfull that really go at it, sliding, locking brakes, from to much speed too late in the straight, inside passing, a few spinouts, a few wrecks, some serious downshifting and redlining, so many different types of motors, its a regular symphony Te best racing was the pre war cars, when men were men and these guys are trying to be men, some serious sliding and lots of hand work. The Trans Am guys really went at it too, most all of them were serious. This was our third year and the best yet. I get the photos loaded and up sometime.

Computor is having substance abuse problems and I cant load that link but Yea, the Ghia nose has always been hard for me to swallow, its very fishy. Everything in the 50's had this big mouth though and by comparision the Ghia had the smallest mouth. Nice piece of chrome though. Im not sure if I rate any other 50's concepts above it, they can all be picked apart for going overboard somewhere. I guess Id have to say, manufactureing problems aside the 54 Corvette was closest to perfect and thats why it went into production. So, Id say by saying "most likely the most desirable" the seller is clearly indicating that personal preference comes into play. I like the tall winged hardtop Exner/Ghia Ferrari meself.................but you know me.............

Jimi was Black/Native American so thats "real groovy man" The rest of the Experience was white, however "Band of Gypsys" with Buddy Miles was all black, I think they did two recording while he was alive and then the afterlife stuff Living color is the only totally Black heavy band I can think of. the Isley Brothers did some cool stuff but it was probably more R&B. Ernest Isley put together some good guitar solos with distortion and phaser, so it rocked a bit. I think one of the two drummers for the Doobie Brothers was black but problem is it could have been the Almond Brothers, cause my mind is........well......... There was a Black drummer during the 70's named Billy Cobham and he, with a bunch of white guys did one of the greatest "Fusion" recordings ever - Billy Cobham - Spectrum, I sure wish I had that on CD, it was kinda heavy, kinda funky but fusion is not for the "pop" crowd. Steve Vai used a Black keyboard/guitarist for G3 and let me tell you that boy could play the hell out of a guitar and the keys. He and Via did one awsome duel, very cool if you really want to see what qualifies as great musicians you will rent G3 Stevie Ray Vaughn was black.............inside :AH-HA_wink: Isnt the singer from Hootie and the Blowfish black ? One great vocalist in my opinion Robert Cray although technically a bluesman..........another one of my favorites I was told about some Black rapper, back, late 80's early 90's, whos music was metal based, but I dont know who that was. Black musicians have what it takes to be so great, all the Bluesmen and the old Jazz players were so deep and skilled but they never really got into the heavy stuff. Hendrix was bashed by the old bluesmen for playing "whitemans music" but in one sence Jimi created and steered one aspect of rock music and he did it all with blues and R&B influence. He did not deserve to be shunned by his elders. I have a CD they put together (afterlife) of Jimis greatest blues jams and let me tell you he smoked all those older guys. With talent, feel, creative improvision and emotion, forget the speed, he was well beyond the oldtimers.............but we all know that now. I wish we'd get more music less rap from black artists. You have to listen to jazz for the best black musicians. I listened to "watercolors" for an hour on the way to Lime Rock yesterday...................

This didnt register with me at first so I payed no attention to it. Sounds like great opportunities either way, good luck.

British Mongrel, very very rare, very very exclusive

We watched his show continously when our daughter was younger. This guy was a kick ! Ill never forget the first time I saw him, it was like his first special with snakes, he still had the long hair and was quite young. I thought "this guy is a nut......I like him !" What a character, look at all his unforgettable sayings get down on it little bloke wants ta have a go at me danger, danger ! He is single handedly responsible for my stopping to cut snakes heads off with a shovel. My daughter and I relocated a breeding pair of Northern Water Snakes that made their home in our rock wall. How did we know they were a pair ? We actually have video footage of snake pornography. We were filming the HUGE female to take to someone to find out what it was. Then she moved and I saw something drag along with her. It was a little guy. The males are less than half the size. Then we found out what it was on the web, Northern Water Snake "that give birth to over a hundred live young" that was it, your outta here ! We "tailed" them both, bagged them and took them up to a pond on State Land. She actually got aggressive after they bred too. He had a huge impact on how people felt about reptiles, lots of education there. What I liked was how he handled them, those other guys pin them down by the neck and you can see they are scared and rough. He just played with them. Anyone remember the episode with the dirt bike, he was chasing some ferel animals around that werent supposed to be wild in Austrailia, goats maybe. The guy could actually ride...............what a friggin nut.........felt like he could be a brother. Im not OK with this, Im really not

I stand by my posts, as Im sure you do yours...................thats what sounds fair to me. I came, I watched, I played, I left unimpressed.

That was a bit funny but truth. In Dream Theater, I was refering to the fact that you know they are about to change up, and go off on a new tangent. Get into some wild improvision then change up again, drive it hard than lay it down softly, they have hundreds of ways of doing it but what you know for sure is that they are going to do it. I can see Im a bit behind on some recordings, I dont have them all. Off topic aaaaaa, did you check out Symphony X yet ? similar but different, more Greek mythology based and European classical based metal. Less mellow and more heavier, not that D T lacks when they get heavy. X has a more astonishing vocalist who has a few different voices actually, I can hear Dio, Kansas and then this straight clear voice. Great stuff if you can get into it, not for the weak or simple minded thats for sure. "Twilight in Olympus" is a must have.

Send me off wordless ? Is there something going on here only you are aware of ? Im just sitting here watching your behavior and then see you telling me not to behave like you are, its just all so confusing, we are exactly at the first question "so what is your point?" no it isnt, yes it is, no it isnt, yes it is, no it isnt, yes it is, no it isnt, yes it is..................

Very, very interesting..........................he wants to ride that train alone. Yee haw ! ........................................................................................................ you so special !

Its loading too slow, and pic too blurry to see this rust well, but are those rockers about shot ? If so, forget it, rockers are a main part of the structure, but is also a tell tale of down under. A brake/fuel line job will cost you roughly $1000, then you might need a tank $$$$. Not many people have what it takes to do brake and fuel lines by themselves. I wont buy a car with any damage to the interior, its just so gross. Seems to me you'd be better off spending a few hundred more and finding a better Regal. THey are an excellent car. I dont think this is a 91, I believe all 91 Limiteds are supposed to have clear tailights. Mine did, but the origional owners told me they did have to send it back to the dealers becasue it came without the "proper" tailights. No matter, just some triv. Mine was dark metalic blue w/blue plush interior, quite a looker and very comfortable and solid. It did come from origional buyer, who was a woman, and drove all interstate, to and from work. I couldnt believe it had 214,000 miles on it, it was so tight. I did have to do lines & tank after about 1 year but they actually rusted inside . Never saw that before. I paid $1000 for the car back in 02, I could actually still be driving it if I hadnt had a "brain storm". I always prefer to spend some time and look around, if a car sells out from under you while your doing so "it were'nt meant to be" Good luck and take you time, thats how you find the best car.

OK smartstuff, let me show you something funny...........heres a quote from you Now you want to give me a spellin' lesson ? With how much I write and contribute around here, compared to how much you write and contribute, Id say my average is pretty damn good by comparison. I really dont care if I make mistakes, I fix many as it is. I also dont give a damn if I use "proper" grammer or construction.............I hated 7th and 8th grade English............big time. Twas all irrelevant to me. I figure if someone cant understand what I write or how I speak, they are not worthy of conversation in the first place. So once again smartstuff, how did my asking you "whats your point" lead to all this name calling and inflamitory bull$h! ? I really didnt understand the purpose of your statement after posting the adds..............not really........you are rather obvious...........but I figured Id ask, just incase there was actually something to it........but...........NO, nothing. Im gonna go do some now, maybe then we'll be on the same "level" ?
