Looks solid and green. Any rust or other major issues?

I remember from about age 6-9 or so changing the TV channel to UHF channel 59 Pittsburgh to watch old Star Trek and Twilight Zone reruns.. Another thing I wonder, like the fax, is the pager...do they sell pagers anymore..with cell phones, I don't see the point of pagers.

Was announced that it was down to 8.9% for AZ w/ this data. Don't know how accurate that is, though. I've heard from headhunters it's still about 4% in my field.

The wheels aren't bad...I don't care for the front lower fascia. I do like how they kept the Acadia's horizontal headlights and relatively small grille, rather than tack on an oversized Terrain style grille.

A clip from 'Malcom in the Middle', I presume? The woman in the Tempo looks like the Mom from that show.

Haven't had home dialup since '01. Had DSL for a year, then cable internet since '02. Other things of the past I remember... Remember the sound of a VHS player rewinding a tape? Been over 10 years since I've regularly watched VHS tapes. Or the dialing (and ring) sounds of a rotary dial phone? Probably 30+ years on that one..I remember 'em. Or a 'party line'? Remember those from rural Ohio, probably 30 years ago again. Or TVs w/ dials for UHF and VHF---channels under 13 and those over 13? Print newspapers. Haven't subscribed to one since '01. About the only time I ever buy one is at the airport if I can't get decent wireless. I read the news from a wide range of internet sources, don't really need a print paper..

That Toro is pretty cool..lots of potential. The V6 in the Jeep isn't that outrageous, given the long-ago history of the Buick V6...

Steel State of Mind, pretty cool..a Pittsburgh version of Empire State of Mind. Steel State of Mind My mind is wandering tonight...PGH dreaming on a PHX night.

Nothing wrong with that. That's what I want in my next car. RWD, preferably V8. Day in day out, I want the features, safety, and reliability of modern, late model vehicle..don't want to deal with the issues of an old car...whether it's the 50 mile daily commute or a 500-2000 mile road trip. My '87 Mustang is fun as an occasional weekend drive, but I haven't used it as a daily driver in almost 10 years.

Maybe in some markets they can do a 'Pokemon' edition..it kind of looks like some sort of small angry creature.

Cute..the cartoon compresses the G8 so it looks to be the size of a G5.

Oh yeah! Some of my favorite childhood TV memories involve watching Hawaii Five-0, Police Story, Starsky and Hutch, Rockford Files, Streets of San Francisco w/ my Dad...love those big late '60s and '70s Fords and Mercs...and those are the kind of cars my folks drove..Cougars, Marquis, Lincolns, etc. There is a goregous Royal Maroon '69 Marquis convertible here in NoCenPho that I see occasionally..got to be a pretty rare car. Love the lower-longer-wider styling.

Saw a white Chrysler 300C Touring this morning...they look good as a wagon.

Cool... I saw a 2dr Yukon in traffic yesterday, haven't seen one of those in a while. Didn't have barn doors. Was a 2 tone gold and bronze.

I've done it a couple of times in the past..worked for a Canadian-owned company and twice worked for Israeli-owned companies (the Canada-based company was bought by an Israeli-based company then sold to a Fortune 500 US company in the 5 years I was there).. As long as the benefits, salary, etc are good, the work is compelling, and the money ends up in my checking account, it's fine with me..

Sweet... I remember the delays and public rollout back in '07 when I was working for a Boeing subsidiary. Been following the development of this one for years.

Ya, people put port holes/speed holes on everything around here also...often coupled w/ bling wheels.

Ugh. With Hertz, I always get a Ford product except for the time they were out of Mustang convertibles at LAX and I got a Nissan 350Z.

Heh-heh...I go to the airport twice a week here in Phoenix, so I see black Town Cars all the time..limo services. I wouldn't mind having one for my daily driver, actually.

Probably a local Long Island conspiracy outsiders are not supposed to know anything about.

Ya...this summer had only 3 months in a row where the electric bill was over $400..

I've seen oddness w/ edit occasionally... where I have to hit edit a couple times to get it to take, and where it behaves like reply instead. Maybe it a Chrome bug...not sure. Overall, things have worked fine for me w/ IE, Firefox, and Chrome.

It's one of those things that is just the way it is. Maybe because most houses built here don't have basements (concrete slab foundation). Maybe it's a gravity thing.

Maybe someone used their BBQ grill to close to the side of the house to melt the vinyl siding..
