Hmm..what's a 'Winstorm'? The opposite of a 'Failstorm', I presume?

Oath on Qur'an: Provocation or act of faith?
Robert Hall replied to regfootball's topic in The Lounge
Boxers.. -
Some guy down the street from my g/fs condo got a 2wd Dakota backwards off the street down a hill and through a fence....driving a 2wd pickup on the snow and ice is insane...
-
Sweet car..don't see ones of that era in nice shape that often..the '73 was probably the best looking of the '73-77s, great rear end with the relatively small bumper..

GM targets smaller, more profitable Buick brand

I think a lot of people on here still want it to be 1970.. notgoingtohappen. -
Yep..got all those..haven't seen the Camaro in purple though..it looks great in black, IMHO. I wonder if they will do a '69 coupe also. Their classic '68 coupe (kind of simplified, but it's one of the original Hot Wheels castings from '68) is back out now also, in black.
-
True enough..the rear ends are very, very similar, as is the greenhouse...the big styling differences are in the proportions--one a proper RWD and the other an awkward FWDer..
-
True enough...I was steering my Jeep with the throttle yesterday..kind of fun to drift a 4500 lb SUV when there is no one else around.. More snow here today..18 degrees right now.
-
Good question..since the 5.3 OHV is being used in the dubyas, it's a possibility for a FWD application..
-
By the way, Hot Wheels also makes the '70 in orange as well..I've got the new one and the '70 together on my desk at home..

Lex(Dogs)us got bitch slapped- Super Sedan Comparo
Robert Hall replied to Z-06's topic in The Lounge
Consumer Reports no doubt helps, what with Lexus' reliability/quality reputation golden and M-B's fecal brown these days... -
Cool..I'll try and hit some of the local stores this weekend. Or snag 'em off ebay.
-
Kind of odd they are announcing it now for 9 months away, since the '07 MY just started...
-
Mine stayed inside, away from the snow...had my Jeep in full-time 4wheeldrive the last few days. Though if I had to, I could always put a set of snow tires on my BMW and drive it the snow..

Lex(Dogs)us got bitch slapped- Super Sedan Comparo
Robert Hall replied to Z-06's topic in The Lounge
The way I viewed the article is that Lexus didn't fail..coming in last in the big leagues isn't failure, more a difference of focus. The Lexus is more focused on luxury and passenger comfort, isolation, than driver involvement...more like a traditional American luxury sedan than a European one. The European cars in the test are more serious about having sports sedan qualities (driver focus, handing, road feel, etc) mixed in with the luxury. -
Yeah, I'm afraid it's probably only wide enough for two American-width bucket seats.. maybe the 'Fit' should have been called the 'Fat' for the US...
-
It would be nice if the SS had some distinctive trim..like an exclusive grille design, taillights, etc..
-
The future isn't necessarily going to be pretty, I'm afraid.
-
I have the Challenger and five variations of the Mustang, haven't seen the Camaro yet (no Kmarts around here, though I may turn one up at Target or Wal-Mart).

Agreed..as a secular humanist/atheist/functional realist, I think people need to keep their religous beliefs to themselves, IMHO..it has no place in public life... If I were sworn into office, I'd swear on a tome like Donald Knuth's 'The Art of Computer Programming, Vol. I' or a calculus book..things I consider to contain the truth. -
Yes, it does seem a bit short-sighted to leave the market completely... Chrysler, Toyota and Honda still build competitive models in this market, why can't GM??
-
The fenders probably weigh 200 lbs a piece (it's a 6000 lb truck, right?).
-
They did something strange to the rear bumper..made it squared off and wierd. I noticed the same thing on the Tahoe Hybrid pics a while back.

Robert Hall replied to douglask's topic in General Motors
It's probably better to leave that niche to Pontiac (Torrent) or GMC.. A big luxury coupe/convertible (Zeta based, not an Epsilon like the G6) would be nice for Buick..but that would probably overlap with a possible CTS coupe/convertible.. -
It hit here (Denver) Tuesday night...snowed off-and-on all day Wed..got about 6 inches..my company closed the offices Wed at 2. Got cold Wed night (below zero)..it's been warming up into the 30s yesterday and today.. In sharp contrast, I was in NE Ohio last Wed-Sun for Thanksgiving--unbelivable--5 days of sun, 3 days over 60! I was in Cleveland Sunday and saw convertibles w/ the tops down..that is extremely rare late November weather for NE Ohio.
