  1. square
  2. Seems to work ok for me..took a couple tries to figure out how to embed a YouTube video, but it's pretty simple once I figured it out. With the standard skin the forums look identical to another forum I frequent that uses the same software, so I have to pay attention to know if I am posting about 1:1 cars or model cars..
  3. Too small to be a Supra..this is a small 4cyl model. I like the greenhouse and rear quarters, but the front end and rear fascia are overwrought, IMO.
  4. Neat..I've never lived where there were Hess stations...but I've seen at toy shows a very cool Hess GMC motorhome from the '70s.
  5. The description left out the fact that it is a Citation II, which the '84-85 models were called.
  6. Note that he said less mass, not less weight. Interesting distinction..
  7. Got up early..see a different group of cars on the commute at 5:30 than 7:30 am. At my coffee shop there was a well-worn silver green '63 Pontiac Catalina 4dr ht..lots of dents and surface rust. Also saw a very clean white '66 Mustang coupe at an intersection, and a silver early '80s Subaru hatchback of some sort..in good shape.
  8. Alamo/National has them also..I saw a bunch in their parking area at an airport recently..
  9. Salem-King Night. Interesting video.
  10. Saw a black Suburban Hybrid this morning....I knew about the Tahoe Hybrid, didn't realize their was a Suburban version also. Saw an unusual limo yesterday evening...not a typical super stretch, but a late model black Town Car with about a 2 foot stretch between the doors. Haven't seen one like that in a late model limo.
  11. Black Country Communion-'Song of Yesterday'. Discovered this band the other day when channel surfing and came across a special from their European tour on the Palladia channel. Great stuff.... I had heard of Joe Bonamassa, but never checked out his music...wow. New fan.
  12. Sounds sweet..pricing will probably be in the ballpark of the GT500, around $50k or $65k out the door w/ dealer markup..

    300 S

    I haven't seen the S or Executive in person yet...I'm interested in checking out the Executive. I had a base '12 300 rental in Cali weekend before last and really liked it. Quiet, smooth, solid and hefty feeling.
  14. Turn the lights and siren on and go racing through the streets...
  15. Unfortunately, that's the same strategy that Lincoln has (and they have even one more FWD CUV). It's not working very well for them...
  16. Cool..never seen a column shift stick shift in action. The socks w/ sandals look isn't working, though. Like the pale green and white.
  17. If it you mere making this statement in 2001, then it'd probably be fine. But 2011? Thirteen years after the RX's debut? I don't think this 'trend' is stopping anytime soon. True enough..GM seems to be able to get people to pay that much for the SRX that's just an Equinox underneath...
  18. That's point of Chevy, Buick and GMC. Profit centers. They can peddle the volume FWD mediocrity to the masses. Cadillac should be above that nonsense. Isn't Buick supposed to compete w/ the FWD Lexus models anyway??
  19. The target for the SRX really, though, is the FWD based premium CUVs---the RX, MDX, and MKX. The "target" doesn't know or care if it is FWD or RWD since they buy them in AWD over 50% of the time. Once it gets into AWD format, perceptions of "betterer" in either direction vanish for 98% of the driving public. F the 98%. Luxury cars are supposed to be premium, not your everyday generic FWD sh*tbox that Toyota, Hyundai, etc peddle...
  20. I think that's what they call the guy that delivers drinks to one at a resort.
  21. The target for the SRX really, though, is the FWD based premium CUVs---the RX, MDX, and MKX.
  22. Those are just low-level appliances. Their good stuff remains RWD (for now)..
  23. Also called a ramada. Usually a square/rectangular shaded (often open in the sides) hut-like structure, often by a pool or a beach. I had one by my pool, but it was worn out and falling in, have a big umbrella on the table there now..
  24. LoL....that's like when my brother asks me to research stuff about his motorcycles or cars on the internet for him...he was online from '94-05, but hasn't had a computer since '05 and is too lazy to go to the county library out in rural Ohio...
  25. There is a certain logic to it..Audi does it with the A4/A5, as does BMW w/ the 5/6... Make the sedans and coupes related but distinct.
