I can see Woz with a Prius..he's geekier than Jobs and the Prius is an ubergeek car (some of the geekiest techies I know drive Priuses). IIRC, Jobs drives a Merc SL65 AMG among other cars..

He wants something reliable and not to common..the G3 is very uncommon, and has Excitement!!! to the extreme..

Here's a rather rare Pontiac, only 2900 miles. auction

Sweet...I have a number of the Larry's Garage and Phil's Garage cars, will have to look for this one.

Sounds like the year is off to a good start. Here's to continued good months for the rest of the year.

Very nice..first I've seen of the LeSabre..is that a Hot Wheels?

106 is a mild late May, June or Sept midday temp in Phoenix. It's really uncomfortable when it's 110-115 for days on end. In July '08, I went from 110 and dry in Phoenix in July to Miami and the Keys where it was about 98 w/ 98% humidity for a few days and came back. Quite a contrast. I spent my first 26 years in humid climates (E/NE Ohio, S. Florida, SE Michigan) and most of the last 13 years in very dry climates (AZ, CO). I love Miami and the Keys in the fall/spring/winter.. and the Phoenix area is pretty nice from October through April. I guess it's all about what you get used to... having good A/C, a pool, and lots of cold drinks w/ ice is the only way I've been able to tolerate AZ heat..

With the rains we've had lately, it should be nice and bloomy w/ flowers out in the desert by March...looking forward to taking a drive out to Tortilla Flat, maybe up to Superior and Globe and the Salt River Canyon.

The Superstition Mountains, out east of Apache Junction, IIRC. The winter weather is great here, no doubt. But May-September can be hell on earth, esp. July and August.

The upcoming Caprice PPV is a perfect car to trim that way, IMHO.

Cool...I'd like to see a Mustang GT or Shelby trimmed that way, or all in satin black.

Did it again. 4 years ago (earlier in the thread) it said I was 32 when I was 36. Now it says I'm 33, when I'm 39-going-on-40.

That reminds me, I saw one Saturday night in black w/ black out windows and chrome rims..very sharp. Limo tint all the way around is very popular here, and kind of necessity w/ the summers..

Great commentary.

Saw a '10 4Runner in white at the office, first one I've seen in person. Looks much worse than it does in photos--very blocky w/ strange protruding lenses (quite a trend lately).

Saw two yellow '70s survivors today... a yellow w/ matching hubcap trim and brown vinyl top 4dr Mercury Comet from around '74-76, and a late '70s Toyota Corolla 2dr sedan--greenish yellow w/ black bumpers. Both in really clean shape.

I assume the front end is gone because that is where they started parting it out...

That was a good one... seems like he forgot when Bush took office relative to 9/11..

What is 'tankism'? Never heard the phrase. I agree, the commentary on some shows on MSNBC, CNN, and Fox can definitely be partisan. Such it is today. Well, back in the old days when it was just CBS, NBC, ABC and PBS, did people watch all of 'em? Usually, I would think people would have watched one network's news regularly and that one only..(my family watched CBS w/ Walter Cronkite (later Dan Rather) when I was growing up, though I started watching PBS for McNeil-Lehrer and Wall Street Week when I was about 12...) But the network news back then was pretty much straight news, not much commentary. Great description.. as far as Fox News, I refuse to watch them on principle--I refuse to waste my time watching commentary/news that promotes what I perceive as a right-wing agenda.

There is a 'Toyota All-Star Showdown' NASCAR race on Speed right now...I hope this accelerator problem isn't present on the 'Camry' race cars..

Yeah..definitely opposite, but I view MSNBC as more 'rational' than 'crazy'. I'll admit I like to listen to Glenn Beck in the car sometimes on the radio, he's so out there that he's frickin' hilarious, IMHO.

While out and about this afternoon I saw a very sharp pale yellow '68 Galaxie convertible w/ black steel wheels and a primer gray '67 Firemaro (a Camaro w/ a Firebird front clip)...looked like a project in progress.

The idea of Fox News being 'fair and balanced' is such a oxymoron, IMHO. I could never watch a channel w/ hosts as repellent as O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck or Limbaugh. I get most of my news from the internet these days, but when I do watch TV news it's usually MSNBC or BBC World News America. CNN isn't as good as it used to be, IMHO.
