Nice.. when I saw the thread title, I thought it was going to be a video of a tank running over the Vette.

Good to know... will have to rent one sometime. I rented a V6 4th gen from Avis back around '98.

Driving out of my neighborhood this morning, I was behind a silver Hyundai XG350..nothing special, but the vanity plate was great: KRNBCK. (Korean Buick, I assume?)

Ahh...typo. friends. response to thread: rafting

I've seen a couple on the road, a black one and an orange one..they are actually rather cool looking, IMHO.

Probably the same reason they had a Cavalier and a Sunbird/Sunfire, a Cobalt and a G5...the Pontiac dealers demanded it..

Schlongcopter... pretty funny

Ahh..yes, good beer in Portland..all the McMenamins places for example..... I've been to the Blue Moon Tavern and Grill a couple times w/ friends.. Thread answer: rivers

Similarly for me, yesterday was zombie woman in a white Corolla day... driving down the freeway yesterday morning, a white previous gen Corolla cut across 4 lanes of traffic w/ no signal to exit in front of me, and later in the day, almost got hit in the parking lot at work by another white previous gen Corolla, zombie driver yakking on her phone..

I've seen five xBs today, 2 1st gen and 3 second gens. And a TC. And possibly Toyota's ugliest current model, a 2nd gen Matrix parked next to the equally ugly Yaris hatchback. And an uncountable # of Camrys and Corollas.

Iron City (beer) (I remember visiting Pittsburgh often as a kid in the late '70s, and after seeing it in recent years, it's had quite the renewal, I think).

wow...how do you see so many oldies on a Wednesday? All I usually ever see on Wednesdays are mostly forgettable modern cars on the freeways and in parking lots. To see that many oldies in one day, I'd have to be at a weekend car show.

Scrabble (and Life is a highway, and I want to drive it all night long..)

CONRAIL. Consolidated Railways. http://www.conrail.com/. And the relevance to GM is???

Today at lunch I saw an '09 Challenger in white...tinted windows, no graphics. Goregous. That is a car that looks great in white, IMHO.

There are some interesting ones in Ohio listed, but they missed the ones from Eastern Ohio that I'm familiar with...lots of good ones, esp. state routes, east of I-71, north of I-70, west of the Ohio river, s. of Canton/Akron (those in Tuscarawas, Holmes, Coshocton, Carroll, Guernsey, Harrison, and Jefferson counties are what I'm thinking of). Though some can be Amish-infested and the occasional farmer w/ traffic. Lots of good windy roads, many with 'whoopteedoos'--the undulating, roller coaster-like paths, very little traffic. Going to take my Mustang out on some of them when I'm back there Mem. Day weekend. Got a red X on the Az and Colorado listings, will try again later to see those.

That's why I put the smiley after the comment.. should have put <sarcasm> tags around the comment instead. Forget it.

Read closely--I didn't say anything about the cars. Why are you comparing them? I was speculating about the consolidation and nationalization angle that happened with BL in the '70s. How would that approach work w/ GM and Chrysler? That's all. Just speculating that if GM and Chrysler merged, and were nationalized, could it be better than bankruptcy? Just something to think about.

I've seen her in HD on cable, she's ok, but she's no Maria Bartiromo.

I wonder if the government should have nationalised GM and Chrysler, forming a new 'American Motors'. This consoldated approach worked for British Leyland in the '70s, after all... (note: this post contains sarcasm, which some may not understand)
