I've used it for over 4 years. Cheap, effective. Sound quality fine. Haven't had any problems with it. I had to configure the 911 service for it through the Vonage website. I'm using it in AZ now, still have my CO area code and number. One feature I like is I can listen to my voicemail through the Vonage website...I also can forward my calls to my cell (which I do when traveling). Overall, much better than the horrid land line service I had from Qwest previously...

And it this point in time, exactly what constitutes a 'division'? Is it just a marketing (brand) organization? Everything is corporate..

4 hrs, eh? Lately, I have over 12 hrs of sun everyday...from before 6 am until about 7:30 pm...but it's over 90 by 6:30 am and over 110 in the afternoon...

30mpg? Canadian MPG? I didn't think the Tahoe and Silverado hybrids even managed 20 US mpg..

I never saw them with both Waters and Gilmour, but I did see PF with Gilmour on the '94 tour, and later saw Waters on a solo tour and Gilmour on a solo tour. They are probably my favorite band, along with U2. And Gilmour is probably my favorite guitarist, along with Eric Clapton. Their music is definitely from the baby boomer era, but it is timeless IMHO. Unfortunately, I can't fit into my Division Bell T-shirt anymore...grown a bit since age 24. I did buy a repro Dark Side of the Moon t-shirt last year... my sister still has her original PF t-shirt from the '70s.

One thing I always wondered about Saturn...the 1st and 2nd gen S-series--were they on a unique platform or did they share the platform with other compact GMs? The old Saturns always seemed so different, so non-GM.

Haven't seen it in years...saw it first in college around 1990..pretty trippy. Watching it got me hooked on Pink Floyd music, been a fan ever since.

Woo hoo... it's already been over 100 every day here since around June 1st, though.. yesterday was 114 with 2% humidity. Kind of surreal...was 95 at 6:30 am today.

Can you guys take your pissing match about styling trivia elsewhere and leave this thread to the new Camaro? The history stuff and trivia is interesting, but not relevant to the 5th gen Camaro...

The polymer panels were a neat feature as far as dent resistance....however, production realities no doubt make it more expensive to build such models on shared platforms...

Well, we grew another that is already dead (HUMMER).

Ok..ok...leave the styling influence trivia to the past. It is what it is. To bring the thread back on topic, the new Camaro convertible looks like it's going to be great...I can't wait to see the production version and read about the specs....what engines, transmissions, options, etc...

Strange phenomenon, don't think I've ever 'popped' my collar. I wore dress shirts with button down collars or collars with stays for years when I was in big corporate environments, polos in the summer.. The 'dress code' at the small company where I'm at now is what I'm calling 'Arizona business casual'--- dress shirts or polos over khakis, jeans or dress shorts---never tucked in.

I think GM is at the point of trying to figure out how to survive...sometimes you have to amputate a limb to survive. Does a car maker with only 20% (and falling) market share in a non-growing market (NA) really need 8 brands?

Well, the Acadia is a car, right? Unibody FWD/AWD platform...not a truck.

The diesel would be cool...a hybrid powerplant would be really cool. For outrageous, I'm still waiting on Ford to build an lifted, AWD turbodiesel Mustang...(I'd love a Mustang with the Audi Allroad style, kind of a modern Eagle SX/4).

I like it...I've long liked Alfa's grille, it's distinctive, has character, esp. today when everything has a trapazoidal grille...I also like how they put the number plate off to the side, rather in the center which is so boring and predictable today. I esp. like the current Brera and 166 styling...

It will be interesting to see what the full year sales for the GMT 900s will be next year compared to 2007. Down by 50%?

Looks great...looks like it's been taken care of.

Lots of forgettable cars then...my first car was an '84 Escort diesel, which was very reliable in the time I drove it in HS and college, and my first new car was an '87 Mustang GT....still have it, still a fun car to drive. The 5.0 Mustangs are probably my favorite and most memorable car of that decade, because I've enjoyed them so much--simple, fun and fast. I also still like the big cars of that decade---I enjoyed driving the Town Cars of the '80s that my Dad drove then. Most of the FWDers of that decade, though, like the '90s, are best forgotten, IMHO.

Having been a teenager in the '80s, I'll always like certain models from that era...not K-cars, but the Fox Mustangs I drove then. For GMs of the '80s, I like the F-, G-, B-, RWD C-bodies and '80-85 E-bodies...

CNTRL+T adds a new tab also. I use Firefox pretty much 100% these days. At work, I use a Mac, but have a VM running XP since I need to use IE to access Mercury Quality Center (uses an Active X plugin), and I need to verify my code runs in IE as well as FF (it's funny---my development team all use Macs with Firefox to develop our web apps, but our corporate clients all use Windows with IE). I've run into a few sites that have seem to have issues when you scroll and need repainting in Firefox...and Wachovia's site behaves very wierd--I enter my userid and password and it just keeps reloading (a Javascript issue, I think Foxmarks is great for synching my bookmarks between the Mac and my home XP laptop.

Agreed also..I've used Sharebuilder for about 8 years now, I have a nice portfolio of about 25 stocks and indicies with #of shares ranging from less than 1 to over a 100..

The styling's a bit dull...I much prefer the Bentley Continental GT...

I can't recall the last time I saw a K-car in any condition..pretty scarce around here.
