Honestly, all I do is change the oil every 3,000-5,000 miles. The car, more or less, has been flawless. It's at 193,xxx miles now, just passed inspection today and all I had to do is replace a bulb (front passenger directional was out).

Congrats man! Where abouts? It looks like a beauty!

Yes... I've been waiting forever! Hopefully the job will fall into place and then the car will be next in line...

I'm thinking either Stone Metallic or Majestic Blue Metallic with Cashmere interior. I need to see the colors.

Sold. In November/December this will be my next car.

Believe me, it drives me crazy.

Surprisingly 2 Routans in the same day. Didn't know people bought them.

Death of Toyota? Absolutely not. All I'm going to say is that I met with former colleagues for dinner a week ago, and when I came outside I saw something that shocked me. I said, "Denise?! You traded your recalled car for a brand-new recalled car?!" She said, "Yup." I asked if she got her new gas pedal yet on her 2010 Camry LE and she replied she hadn't. It boggles my mind. On the positive note, two friends who are current Toyota owners are scared to purchase another one-and one of them has to get a bigger car for a new baby coming in so we'll see what I can steer him to. (I'm trying to coax him into a new Nox).

Rummy, 500 Rummy, Pinochle, Hearts and Uno with custom cards and house rules

Dare I say, the third time I've ever seen a Buick Terraza on the road.

I heard thundersnow when I was in 9th grade... it was such an eery sound too...

Happy Birthday man!

Whenever a new Apple product comes out I always think of this:

Deal!

Yes you did Reg. Broke my heart

One Italian driving a Cobalt doesn't mean Italians in general love Cobalts. And the "Cadiallac" symbol you're referring to is a crest or wreath... it's used in numerous emblems/icons, etc., it's not there to represent Cadillac.

Yup.

Thanks guys

OMG that had me laughing... I made a similar joke and my students didn't understand it. That made me sad.

Wow, that's an incredible find and timing Bob! Yes, we have Trader Joe's out here (I'm eating my yogurt now as I type), but oddly enough, ONLY on the North Shore... you'll never find a Trader Joe's on the South Shore. Guess they don't want to slum it? There, I said it! LOL Thanks for the messages guys, it cheered me up--it's been a REALLY bad day for me, but I'm home now and I'm not going to get out from under the covers until I have to go out at 7:30 to my friends' house. So, without going into too many details, anyone know how to get scratches out of your windshield when you're driving through a monsoon with 65mph gusts of wind and your passenger wiper blade just FLIES off the arm? I was driving East. Guess it wanted to go North... Yeah. It's been a great day. If you'll excuse me, I have to go wring out my clothes in the sink, write a check to pay a ticket I got for being 30 seconds late to my car, and call the university up and explain they cashed my check 2 weeks ago and paid my balance in full, stop emailing me saying my account is past due. It has to get better, right? LOL

Well, I'll give you that the Lucerne has a good deal more torque than the 2.4L Regal, but not that much more over the LaCrosse.. we're talking 255hp/217lb-ft vs. 227hp/237lb-ft... As for the car, I recall reading a review a while back saying that the Regal was substantially quieter than the Insignia and that they were amazed at how effective the QuietTuning was.

My friends' 05 Impala rattles like a mofo. Then again, she lives in Brooklyn so you can't really drive 5 feet without hitting a pothole.

I thought you were going to say... lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground.

Interesting... I just IMed this to my friend. He's recently found out he's gluten-intolerant and I'm always looking for new things he can have. We both love root beer.

Just threw up a little in my mouth...
