NASCAR today is to motorsport what the WWE is to wrestling... all fake nonsense...

What does a 'wiring defect' have to do with side impact crashes?

This doesn't make much sense..Dodge has the Ram platform..how much effort is it to tool up a 4dr SUV body for it???

I just don't see what the advantage for GM would be.. I want to see Chrysler survive and thrive, I want to see Ford survive and thrive, and I want to GM survive and thrive..but as 3 independent entities...

Some good ones on there... some of the best I've personally seen include GEEKSTA, UNIX4VR, GREP, PAID4, PHD4ME... I have a coworker that has 'HWYADWN' , another that has 'HTTP404', a friend has NSX4ME. I want to get NCUBED.

And Chrysler has RWD/AWD full size models now, GM's are still a couple years off.. and Dodge has the Dakota, GM has nothing comparable.. The brands could be: Chevy, DodgePontiacGMC, ChryslerBuick, Saturn, Saab, JeepHummer, Cadillac... It seems like it would be a very odd merger..way too much overlap.

Sounds like he's a Republican...they seem to be the biggest group of hypocritical homophobes around..

It's an old dated platform that wasn't engineered for today's crash tests...not surprising it did so poorly..

Darn..I'd like to have done that.. haven't been to Vegas since Nov 05..was thinking about going for a weekend sometime in the spring.

Interesting...Dodge's answer to Solstice/Sky/Opel GT? Too much TT in the rear, but overall, kind of interesting..

Ugh...no thanks...those nightmares of Pontiac past (and many others) are best forgotten...

Cool...maybe you can paint it blue and red as an Earl replica..

I've paid twice about $1000-1100 to ship cars from Colorado to eastern Ohio and vice versa, so it's probably similar..

The rear ones appear to be right in front of the door releases...the front ones, maybe on the console?

Here's a pic of myself from a couple years ago with some neat little red cars:

Yes, unsafe at any speed... I'm surprised GM got away with building such subpar junk...I'm surprised Nader didn't jump all over this..

Like, never? Pontiac's never had anything like this.. the '04-06 GTO was the closest... with few exceptions, Pontiac has had badly styled, forgettable, disposable FWD models for the past 25 years... the Solstice and this car represent a new, meaningful direction for the brand.

I've long been a fan of the Skyline, since I first read about it in Autocar around 1990 or so..then I built several Tamiya Skyline kits...didn't see one in person until 2000 in LA. There are several Skylines running around here, R32s and R33s imported by Motorex. I wouldn't mind having one someday, RHD and all.. The one Japanese sports car I've lusted about for years is the NSX..I will own sooner or later, a pre-facelift model. I've always wanted a midengined sportscar, and it's the one for me... there are some Ferraris down in the relatively cheap used price range, but they are old and very expensive cars to maintain..the NSX is pretty reasonable on the maintenance costs. After being around my buddy Steve's NSX and driving it a few times, I love it..

That reminds me of a car I used to see a while back...in my neighborhood, someone had a light blue/white top '70 Catalina 4dr sedan.. red decklid and missing rear pan, but solid and rust-free...haven't seen it in 6 months or so.. seeing a car on the streets that's 30 years old or more is a pretty rare sight around here..

It's funny all the debate about the G8 when most people here haven't even seen it person (photos don't count) let alone drive it...

Anyone here with interesting names for their computers..i.e. other than the IP address, giving it a hostname? It's kind of a computer geek thing, I think...friends of mine name their computers after things like sci fi characters, Star Trek characters, places in the Lord of the Rings movies, etc... when I set up my current home network about 5 years ago I went the naming scheme of vintage GM car names that end in 'A'... as I've added computers, I've added names... my network now consists of Ventura, Catalina, Electra, Invicta, Impala, and Omega.

I've used ING for a couple of years, been happy with it.

I've never paid for ganja either...I have too many lefty ex-West Coast graphic artist/web programmer buddies...

Librax controls Irritable Bowel Syndrome aka Mad Bowel, evil bowel. I normally get by fine with Immodium, but sometimes to keep from firehosing after vindaloo I need something stronger...

I probably smoke a joint or have a bong hit 3-4 times a year, at most, at parties.. I never really got into smoking frequently... I did try cocaine a couple times at parties when I was in college, late '80s..didn't like it. I used to have a cigar with a single malt scotch with friends in the late '90s-early '00s, haven't had one in 3-4 years now.. I'll have a cigarette when I'm hosting a pint in a pub with friends occassionally at happy hour. I drink 2-3 beers a week, usually a microbrew or Corona or Coors Light... I enjoy wine, usually a glass or two with dinner ocassionally... I used to do shots of Jaegermiester and others, but I don't drink much hard liquor beyond the occasional volka martini, gin and tonic, or rum and Coke.. As far as prescription drugs, I've got Ambien, Zoloft (used to do Prozac) and Librax.
