The right wingers are sore losers. They need to get over it. They lost. Try again next time.

Your email address is your PayPal id. I've used it for years with eBay. Very easy to use, never had any problems. I've used to pay for eBay auction wins as well as to pay for items from online merchants. Much more efficient way to move money (at least from the buyers perspective) than such 20th century artifacts as 'checks' and 'money orders', IMHO.

Wooo hooo! Yes We Can! I've tiVoed the inauguration, watch it tonite at home. Though my boss in the cube next to me is watching it on CNN streaming video, so I can hear it slightly over the wall.

I'm thinking of something like a Stutz Bearcat or a Model T speedster, something with a tiny round or multi-sided windshield on the column. No idea what was available in kit form, though.

By the way, the highs have been about 75-80 and the lows around 40 here in Phoenix lately. Decent January weather, but about 10 degrees over normal highs (darn global climate change?). Lots of interesting cars at BJ, too many to list. I didn't really pay attention to the Saturns, though.

Was a fun show this year...I stayed about 4 hrs Saturday afternoon. But I forgot to charge the battery on my camera, so didn't get that many pics. Watched a lot of the Speed coverage.

Windshield bolted to the steering column...sounds like something ancient, like from 100 years ago.

I'm all for it if it means Chrysler can survive, and the US can eventually get some Fiat and Alfa models (they have a lot of interesting cars in Europe).

Sounds like Fiat has taken a 35% stake in Chrysler, according to Reuters this AM. Reuters Article

Dogs do the darndest things.. my 3lb female Yorkie puppy tries to hump the 23 lb male Westie sometimes... and the Aussie and Silky girls try and hump each other.

The grocery less than a mile away has an excellent bakery, with a variety of fresh, hot breads...french baguettes, even naan. That's enough for me.

Too bad it's not in white and gold Hurst colors, that would have been more special, IMHO.

77 here today, supposed to hit 80 tomorrow.

Though I'm living in AZ, I have to go with the Steelers, my favorite team of my childhood.

Ya, the Camry's reputation and resale value are gold.

GM has had a couple of greens this decade that I really like, kind of apple greens used on the Avalanche a few years ago...one rather light and bright.

That green in the picture in this thread would look good on the G8, CTS, or new Camaro, IMHO. Much nicer than the '90s Camry green..

Because most American consumers want cheap, vanilla FWD generics from their GM brands? Sad, but true.

Those are cool..

I could either, but I would definitely consider a diesel (V6 or V8) in one. With a manual, preferably.

Everyone in my cube farm at work have been talking today about the USAirways crash yesterday.... a couple of pilots/web developers over the wall from me have been talking about water landings, etc. Interesting stuff.

Alot of it depends on where I'm living and the economy in 2010. I don't need a new car currently, as long as I'm in Phoenix, I'm content with my Jeep and driving my sister's old Mercs. If I move back to Denver fulltime (which is quite likely), I'll probably get something else, keep the Jeep for winter. If I have a good bill rate and the job market and economy has improved in '10, I might spring for a new CTS (for a daily driver) or a '10 Mustang GT convertible (I really, really want a convertible for a toy). Though I've also thought about something much cheaper, like a used Crown Vic PI, '03+ Town Car, or an old Mercedes diesel.

Agreed..that's why I'm content to be a secular athesist and closet nihilist. I not sure if I believe in anything.

True..I forget that Anchorage is not deep in the interior of Alaska or on the Arctic coast...

Speaking of the weather, I checked USAirways on the flight status of my sister's flight from Columbus this afternoon--- the flight goes on to Anchorage tonight, and I'm amazed--the temp in Anchorage is nearly 40 degrees higher than that in Columbus, Ohio.
