  1. Dents can happen through other means than driving. I've recieved dents due to runaway shopping carts, people that park too close and open their doors poorly, etc. Reality is complex.
  2. The new Camaro would look good in that color, I think.
  3. I had to put a couple new car smell ones and leave the sunroof open and windows down all day on a Saturday a few weeks ago after the Yorkie puppy made poopie in the passenger seat on the way to the airport..
  4. For the same reason as the narrow trailer..to fit on narrow roads.
  5. Maybe a sailboat...some of them are narrow.
  6. I wonder if the truck that towed it originally was just as narrow.
  7. Speaking of '60s Cadillacs, the owner of the local pub where I hung out from '02-06 had a '67 Caddy Fleetwood 75 limo, dark blue w/ the pub's logo on the rear doors. I rode in it a couple times w/ some of my buddies...fun big beast.
  8. From what I've read, a big factor in the LA smog is the fact that it's in a basin..leads to air inversions. Phoenix has a similar problem, on a smaller scale. Lots of sprawl also.
  9. It must have been a widget that was lowered onto the trailer, I don't see provisions for a rear ramp. It if had a 40s military truck cab I'd say it was used to haul UFO parts from Roswell to Area 51 in '48 (under a tarp, though)..
  10. Too small.. I did see the auxillary fuel tank for the Space Shuttle being trucked around at Cape Carnival once, though...huge.
  11. That's a type of what's called a 'lowboy', I think. Maybe a big electrical transformer or some piece of construction equipment.
  12. That Dodd is a democrat from Ohio is just icing on the cake for me. Although to be fair, republican Voinovich is also for the bailout. Chris Isn't Dodd a Democrat from Connecticut?
  13. Rush- Power Windows
  14. I'd like to get an '05-06 or so Rubicon for a summer fun vehicle, to go off-roading in Colorado in the summers. I've taken my GC off road many times, but I'd like something smaller and more hard core so I can go on the more aggro trails. I've been a straight 6 fan for the last decade, w/ my '96 M3 and the '00 GC.
  15. Well, there is the LS460L which are LWB, 202.8 inches. They are a big car..
  16. A couple sources list the LaCrosse at 198.1, but that's immaterial..the W's have long overhangs. The '10 LaCrosse (on the Epsi-Dos platform) I assume will be closer to the Malibu dimensionally..
  17. Well, they would have to have distinct sheetmetal and interiors...like the Traverse and Enclave, Nox and Vue, Impala and LaCrosse, Malibu and '10 LaCrosse. Nothing wrong w/ platform sharing, with sufficient brand-specific differentiation.
  18. That is sweet...I plan to do my MCW resin 1:25th scale model similar to that when I get around to building it eventually... here's a pic of a built one:
  19. Agreed...too many people just can't see the big picture or think beyond themselves and their short-term personal interests. This really needs to be an issue about what is best for the US (and for Canada as well). We've already lost many, many other industries in NA...
  20. I like the Unlimited, though I think a fixed roof version could have done well also. I do wish they had updated and kept the straight 6, V6s are so pedestrian.
  21. Most people just don't care...after all, most all our other consumer products are imported---clothes, TVs, cell phones, etc. As long as people can buy a Honda, Toyota or other reliable appliance to get them to and fro work and to and from Wal-Mart/Target/Costco/Sams Club to stock up on cheap Chinese products, they are content. That's just the way it is in the US, circa 2008.
  22. BPG dealers demand them to compete with Chevy...and Pontiac Canada definitely likes 'em..
  23. I suppose the question is, how is Pontiac going to differentiate themselves from Chevy and Saturn in the subcompact/compact 4cyl space? Hard to do that with badge-engineered Chevy compacts and a Toyota that they have now.
  24. Drool...I love those wagons.
