  1. And so the drama continues. Stay tuned next week... will whitenight get his T/A in 2010? Or will it take a few more years? Stay tuned.. j/k
  2. Well, a production version would give GM something to play in the xB/XD/Cube/Soul funkybox segment.
  3. 2012 Focus looks great from the pics I've seen today...has a mix of Fiesta and Mondeo styling cues.
  4. Looks really good..looking at the pics, hard to believe it has that many miles. Friends of mine used to have a very clean '90 in a light blue-green, had only about 140k when they traded it for a Volvo 850 estate...
  5. Interesting... one thing I wonder--how far north are there palm trees growing in the US? I've been to Sacramento a couple times, IIRC there are palm trees there also. The palm trees, orange trees, grapefruit trees, bouganvillea and green lawns are one of the things I do like about my n. central Phoenix neighborhood..doesn't look deserty..not a cactus or sand in sight.

  6. Heavy load in the trunk?
  7. Great photos. SF is so photogenic. I've long had an interest w/ the area...been drawn there several times in my career...for conferences at Moscone Center a few times and for 4 job offers in SF and the Silicon Valley (San Jose, Sunnyvale), all of which I ultimately turned down because of the obscene cost of living relative to Denver and other places I like...
  8. City car: Jeep Grand Cherokee Suburbia car: Jeep Grand Cherokee Country car: Jeep Grand Cherokee In my experience, they work well in any of these environs. It's been my ideal daily driver in any environment this past decade. My M3 worked great in all 3 also, esp. rural winding, twisty roads. I wouldn't necessarily take in on dirt roads, though. I did drive my Mustang to the top of Pike's Peak, though.
  9. Only a couple inches longer, according to the preliminary specs posted on Allpar..about 189 inches. Nice tidy size. Allpar has the best pics..these are from the time of the '09 NYIAS unveiling...love the interior and exterior (esp. the pics of the gray one in Moab. Allpar '11 GC
  10. Saw a couple nice GM oldies today...a very clean, unrestored-looking '83-84 Monte Carlo SS in white w/ dk blue interior and a silver '71-72 Ventura II in silver w/ large Pro Touring/G-Machine style wheels (aluminum rims, black spokes). Very sharp.
  11. Speaking of iPods, for my iPod classic I got a Marware ruggedized shell. I've dropped my iPod many times w/ no problems, the screen is still in perfect shape after 4 years in this protector, and the shell has held up very well. Looking at their site, it looks like they have several items for the iPhone.
  12. Also, the Auction Block gold/white one is a '70 (different grille). Here's a pic of the club issue camper..
  13. First one has the red dot in the lower left... http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-4.88&soc=-4.56 Economic Left/Right: -4.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56 The second test says: I am a left moderate social libertarian <div> <br>Left: 4.78, Libertarian: 2.07<br><img src="http://www.gotoquiz.com/politics/grid/10x24.gif"><br><a href="http://www.gotoquiz.com/politics/political-spectrum-quiz.html">Political Spectrum Quiz</a></div> Not sure how to get the graphs to display.
  14. Congrats... I was confused at first, thinking Dan Savage was Michael Savage, the deranged radio talker..
  15. Saw a '95-96 Caprice in gold today that looked showroom fresh, all original. Nice to see one of these that's not trashed or donked or modified into a faux Impala SS.
  16. I still don't get the hype w/ 3D TVs.. I guess the TV makers are trying to find the next big thing now that HDTVs have reached maturity and a broad market. I can't really get into the tablet PC hype either..been lots of buzz about them.
  17. Looks consistent w/ the pics from the New York auto show from last April.. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/08/new-york-2011-jeep-grand-cherokee-first-live-shots/
  18. Telephone lines need to be buried underground. And trees need to be designed to snap off the base on impact.
  19. powder
  20. +1. It's a Cadillac...I expect/demand heft in a Cadillac. It's not a Lotus..
  21. I'm watching #ces on Twitter...getting a stream of posts.
  22. There is a keynote tonight by Steve Ballmer..going on right now. Next week I will probably regret not going.
  23. Is Chevy doing anything w/ Volt at CES? I know Ford has a Sync display. Then again, I have the show print guide right here in front of me, should read through it.
  24. Ohio (biggest Amish community is US is in Ohio, near where I grew up)
