Letter from Congrersman
The problem I have with Raisin Bran is they get soggy too fast. I pretty much stick with Honey Nut Cheerios when I have breakfast cereal..

Doesn't Idaho have a big Potato lobby? They probably contributed to his campaign, along with Monsanto (very evil and powerful company from what I've heard).

Rage, Hate, and the Need To Vent
Probably totally different in assembly, but I once pried off the dash trim of a Corsica and took apart the center vents and put them back together (some slats had fallen loose) with only a pocket knife with no damage.

Rage, Hate, and the Need To Vent
This triggered a memory of something I saw a few weeks ago..a clean '77 Electrasabre.... it was an Electra w/ a LeSabre front end of the same year..very clean, pale yellow w/ white interior.

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
Yeah, the Terrain grille is taller than the Yukon grille and looks like it might be taller than even the Sierra HD grille (which is a very handsome truck, IMHO).

The worst journalistic effort I have ever read
Yeah, I read it (online) occasionally, but the San Jose Mercury News (online) is the better paper IMHO, and has a strong focus on the tech industry in the Silicon Valley, which is why I read some articles on it pretty much daily.

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
While driving home tonite, I saw a car in my rearview mirror that I realized resembles the Terrain--except for the grille detail, the front end shape--lighting, fascia, etc of the Mercury Mariner is quite similar, albeit 'softer' and probably smaller.

The PACKARD complex
Speaking of Packards, I saw this one up close yesterday at the Copperstate 1000 kickoff...beautiful car.

The worst journalistic effort I have ever read
The SMART is RWD, and rear engined! Just like a 911! Sort of.

There is a significant difference between being patriotic and ranting like a delusional paranoid or a late night talk radio loony.

I'd recommend a HAZMAT suit..

Maybe..here is the Pininfarina BO, the 'Bluecar' electric car he was rhapsodizing about toward the end of the article: Bluecar

I read it yesterday...he probably worships the Prius.

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
As far as styling goes, I think my favorite current GMC SUV/CUV is the Acadia--I like the headlights and smallish grille, and the profile and detailing.

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
This was one of the points addressed on the video..designer said the wheels/tires are 'tucked in' for aerodynamics..i.e. fuel efficiency.

BP, Exxon, Sunoco, Shell...
I stick w/ Chevron and Shell...because they are the closest to home and the office.

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
The area around the foglights remind me of an exaggerated version of the foglight area on the GLK that I find so strange...reminds me of the tinfoil helmet of Professor Chaos on 'South Park'...

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
One of the guys in the video said something about the interior being 'mostly unique'. This grille shape reminds me of the Audi shield grille shape. I think one aspect of the front I really don't like, more than the grille, is how tall and blunt it is--the height of the front end from the base of the airdam to the hood seems very tall and flat. Without measuring with a tape measure, the front vertically seems about 50% taller than some older SUVs of a similar size.

I don't fear robots like Bender. It's the robots from Cyberdyne.Skynet and those darn T-800s, T-1000s...those robots, I worry about. Google is the realization of Cyberdyne; they are going to build Skynet in the 'cloud'.

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
I think it's the grille I don't care for, and the general blockyness in profile,the disjointed greenhouse (the rear quarter windows seem to be an afterthought) it's not a very cohesive design, IMHO. As far as the Yukon goes, it's not so much the grille, but the vertical headlights..the headlight treatment makes it look tall and narrow, IMHO. The Tahoe lighting treatment is much more pleasing, IMHO. (The Tahoe and 'Burban are the best looking big SUVs IMHO).

I hate goodbyes...
I grew up with German Shepherds...mine that I got as a puppy at age 6 lived to 15, I was away in college when she passed...that hit me hard..the same with the other two Shepherds my folks got when I was in 10 and 15, respectively. I'm now a confirmed terrier fanatic, with my Aussie and my Yorkie.. Nauti, aka 'Bitey': Ginger:

Or 3) get killed..the ones in Detroit are probably full of rabid dogs, crackheads, homeless people...

2010 GMC Terrain revealed
I seem some Battlestar Galactica/sci fi styling cues as far the front end and dash.. An example of a polarizing GM design is the Aztek--people found either it bland or disgusting.
