  1. Super Bee (Dodge equivalent of Road Runner)
  2. Like a majority of car buyers & leasees- they probably never consider the TCO but are only looking at monthly payments...
  3. As well as the Internet and pants, Al Gore invented the fuel cell.
  4. 1. The Patriot act goes far beyond opening up communication between agencies (which itself is a good thing). 2. Yes, but how many of those are sh*tty McJobs at McDonalds or Wal-Mart? I know in my industry (software) there has been a huge loss of decent paying ($60-120k/yr) development jobs in the last 5 years, due to outsourcing and general economic malaise...
  5. Probably not..I read they weren't going to do a RHD version of this car...
  6. Agreed...live and let live. I have no problem with people having beliefs...I have mine--I'm a secular humanist/functional realist/athiest... I don't believe in a heaven or hell--you are born, you live, you die...make the most of your time on this earth.
  7. I saw an '07 Yukon for the first time yesterday...looks pretty good, but I prefer the Tahoe nose...(I just don't care for vertical headlight arrangements).
  8. The hybrid seems like a reasonable approach for now as it can be built with existing technology and doesn't require changes in usage patterns or infrastructure. There is a gas mileage increase, but more importantly (the point which everyone seems to miss) is that they are cleaner..
  9. Yes...I used to live near Walnut Creek, Ohio, and when people would pronounce it Walnut Crick, I assumed they were hicks or West Virginia transplants (which there were a lot of in Eastern Ohio). Now Walnut Creek, Ca is a very nice place...my company's CEO lives there.
  10. The also have a '67 Camaro convertible and '70 Chevelle SS convertible in the Classics line, new for '06...I found a couple recently, pretty nice--redline tires and spectraflame paint.
  11. What? Speak up...I can't hear you... I limit the use of mine to 2-3 hrs a day usually... at work.
  12. Actually, the internet was around 25 years ago..actually, 35 years ago. It was only used by government agencies, defence contractors, and universities. No WWW then...just ftp, telnet, etc.
  13. Yesterday I saw two '90s Roadmasters--a dark red wagon with wood trim, and a base gold 4dr (no vinyl top, plain full wheelcovers). Don't see those very often. Last night, I saw a car that would excite 68P---a late '70s Toyota Cressida station wagon..in good shape.
  14. 2008 Buick lineup: La Crosse, Lucerne, Enclave, Terraza. (Enclave is replacing both the Rainier and Rendezvous?). Something with 2 doors would be nice.... i.e. Riviera.
  15. Riiight...fuel cells are still a pipe dream...at least 25 years or more away from being practical, both as far as the cars and the infrastructure.
  16. Could be..the mid '90s ('92-96?) 4dr Camry looked quite a bit like the original Taurus, IMHO..
  17. For me it's usually #2. For the most part, the Democratic party fits my views pretty well. There used to be aspects of the Republican party that I liked (financial responsibility, etc) but there is no way I could support that party now as it has been hijacked by the right-wing neocons and evangelicals, two groups I want nothing to do with.
  18. Interesting..I generally only make right turns unless I have a left turn lane with an arrow. I have a phobia about turning left in traffic without an arrow (a couple of bad experiences years ago caused that....(partially related to my phobia about carburators).
  19. Yeah, the extremists get all the press... I'm not down with any religion, so it's all alien to me.
  20. Is it just me, or the Muslim world in general obsessed with violence and mayhem (esp. towards Western cultures)? So much for Islam being a religion of 'peace'. I've never understood the violence and insanity that seems to surround religion in general...
