  1. Leaving vowels out also can be used to shorten topic titles.
  2. Seems better than more of the same with another Republican and their failed agenda..
  3. I'd like to see more choices in car interiors again... I hate the depressing gray that has become the norm in the last decade... I remember Ford even some decent lt green interiors in late '90s Explorers..
  4. It's in the Wikipedia entry on Biden also..news travels fast.
  5. How about Hillary? Still a long shot, but it would be interesting...
  6. Could be...I'm still waiting on my text message from team Obama about it..
  7. That's kind of wierdly cool...how about taking a typical 4dr SUV and doing the same shortening...make an Escalade Coupe de Ville for instance..
  8. I notice an increase in humidity in my sinuses... having lived for over 10 years in very dry places, I notice humidity..
  9. It will be interesting to see if Tata brings cars to the US eventually... Working in the software biz, I know alot of Indians...most seem to drive Toyotas--Corollas and Camrys, though I know a few that drive Nissans, Hondas, VWs, BMWs, and one fellow that drove a TrailBlazer..
  10. Sounds even worse than Phoenix in the summer, which is disgusting..
  11. Interesting they went with a steel wheel w/ trim ring and plastic center..even the most basic V6 Mustang has aluminum wheels...
  12. Yes..that's the one I saw...reminds me of a larger version of the '80s S-10/Blazer wheel.
  13. From Wikipedia: On 12 March 2007 a consortium led by Prodrive chairman David Richards purchased Aston Martin for £475m/USD$848m.[13] Prodrive has no financial involvement in the deal.[14] Ford will keep a stake in the company (valued at GBP 40 million / USD 70 million). The consortium also consisted of John Sinders, an Aston Martin collector; and two Kuwaiti investment companies, Investment Dar and Adeem Investment Co.
  14. Well, it is the modern equivalent of the J-car. The J-car was a world car, sold in different brands, different names, different bodystyles in many markets. This car, though, will have the same styling and name in more markets than the J did, though.
  15. Yes, sweet car...my friend Steve in Denver has a '91... I've ridden in it many times, driven it a few times..it's really a sweet car...black w/ black interior. The handling is great.
  16. Very cool... I had vaguely heard of these cars before... impressive to think of a Chevette race car. I could care less for NASCAR--it's the WWF of motorsport---but rallying, touring car racing (BTCC, etc), and F1 have long been my favorites..
  17. I predicted $5.55 by Labor Day, so I was a bit off..
  18. Could be..I had heard oil shale was cost prohibitive at previous $/barrel levels...ultimately, though, I think we have to find a way to move away from oil dependence...hybrids, electric cars, fuel cells, nuclear, plutonium, water, air, dirt, something...
  19. Offshore drilling won't do any good, though... that's something that will take 5-10 years to see any ROI..
  20. There are a lot of people living in the past, thinking it's still 1941. In a global economy, such simplistic jingoism doesn't fly..
  21. The thing is, we really don't know if the price is going to stabilize at $3.75 or wherever... given worldwide demand that is growing, instability in oil source regions, there is no reason to think it won't go up again in the US, to $5 or more within the next few years..so it would be pretty short-sighted to go buy a Hummer now..
  22. Well, they are trying for a world car....look at the original Focus..it was a world car, didn't look distinctly 'American', but did well here..
  23. Congrats...the Taurus X is a good looking wagon, IMHO..I like the Taurus sedan also, but thought the Five Hundred had a nicer front end design.
  24. Well, the last few summers have seen a price spike then a drop... but each time, it's dropped to a level higher than where the previous drop stopped...definitely more pronounced this year.
  25. Chevy probably couldn't afford to stand it up and get it the door earlier, what with the cost of the launches of the Traverse, Camaro, and Equinox within the next 2 years for NA..
