Wal-Mart Lingo
Hehheh..this reminds me, I always buy TP in 24-, 36- or 48- packs..you can never have too much TP.

Hmmm...maybe it time to replace the wagon....
I always avoid parking near beaters..I figure the people that drive them are types that will key your car, door ding you, back into your car and then drive off..

Recalls: Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota FJ Cruiser
Interesting..I guess I'll be getting a recall notice in the mail soon?

"Accused 147 mph speeder gets day in court"
Sounds like another incoherent troll..I wonder when he will be banned from the site?

You may want to learn to spell before posting here..

"Accused 147 mph speeder gets day in court"
The Hyundai Sonata is a 4dr sedan, not an SUV.

"Accused 147 mph speeder gets day in court"
147 in a Sonata.. riiiight. Speaking of going fast, my Mustang's speedo only goes to 85, so I don't know how fast I've had it ('87 GT)....I've had my Grand Cherokee up to 95 (really wouldn't want to go much faster in an SUV), but I did see 140 once in my M3 (at night on an open stretch of 75-mph freeway).

Can you eat with chopsticks?
I've yet to master chopsticks..I've tried them, but find them awkward and too slow to eat with. That said, I love a variety of Asian cuisine...Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese (incl. sushi), Korean, and a wide range of Indian cuisine..I love ultra-spicy Thai, Indian, and Sri Lankan, but it sometimes doesn't like me (I can get spontaneous diaroehea from ultra-spicy vindaloos..so I down 4-6 Immodium tablets before and after eating..)

Are you more courteous to Domestic drivers?
I don't really consciously do anything different--I try and be professional and courteous towards other drivers, though I will let a fellow Jeep, BMW or Mustang driver in front of me (when merging in a construction zone, side street, etc) before I would let other drivers in...

Everything old is new again...
However, GM built a concept vehicle, but Toyota built a practical real-world production car...GM didn't..

Everything old is new again...
Even as stubby as it is, the greenhouse shape and detail is so distinctly '70s GM..

Would you buy GM stock?
I have a Sharebuilder account and have bought GM, DCX, Ford amidst a fair number of tech stocks (IBM, Google, Yahoo, Cisco, HP, Sun, Microsoft) and companies in other industries (Home Depot, GE, RC2, some construction and home building companies, etc.. I also buy stock through my Fidelity and eTrade accounts.. I'm getting bullish on GM stock ..

Age question....

Random & Miscelleaneous
That pic looks more like a '72...(parking lights below the bumper, grille center detailing).

Best places to live 2006
The heat and humidity would be a huge turn-off for me as far as Houston. And that it is in Texas. And the threat of hurricanes and flooding... My sister is working there 4 days currently on a contract, and says the weather this summer has been more unpleasant than Phoenix because of the humidity and rain..
-
Best places to live 2006
Yes, Phoenix surpassed Philadelphia last year to become the 5th largest US city... 1.5 mill and about 3.5 mill in the metro area..they've been growing like crazy for years..my sister has been there off and on for 25 years and has seen a lot of growth and change.

SRT and V
It's too bad they didn't SVT-ise the LS... I saw an LS last year with the '93 Cobra 4.6 DOHC drivetrain, sounded pretty sweet...
-
'08 CTS - What about under the hood?
I don't get it either..the Northstar is quite competitive..

2006 British International Motor Show
Probably just numbers generated in a computer simulation...just some one's pipe dream. The long gestation cycle of the Veyron shows how difficult it is to really build a 250+ mph car..

2007 GMC Acadia - Images
I like modern lighting packaging..some are pretty distinctive and unique with projector bulbs, etc.. definitely better than the ugly big square 2-light systems in the late-70s/early-80s or the oh-so-dull rectangular flat plastic flush housings that were over-used in the late 80s early '90s...

2007/08 Hyundai Tiburon
True enough...the G35 and 3-series are at the top of my list for affordable coupes (and they are about 1/10th the cost of a decent house around here..) The Tiburon looks pretty nice, though, for a FWD coupe, though a little thick in the middle (high beltline)...looks like it is a reskin of the current model (I think the greenhouse is carryover).
-
Tesla Roadster
It looks like it's based on the Elise...sounds like a different body and $40k of hardware changes to a $40k car.

Suzuki Announces New SX4 Designed for U.S. Market
