About 1/2 the time now, I get a slow response and a timeout and 404 error when clicking on a forum or post in a forum on here...what's up, is the site being hosted on a 486 with a dail up or something? It's been getting worse the last week or so..

I like buffalo burgers....I've had 'em at restaurants up in the mountains (Idaho Springs, Co has a couple really good local brewpubs that serve buffalo dishes) and at the Ted's Montana Grill chain..

Maybe JT himself will buy it and park it in the hangar with his planes..

I've lived in places with negative images that were the butt of jokes (Cleveland, Colorado Springs) and places with overall positive images (Ann Arbor, Chicago, Phoenix, Denver, Florida Keys)... as long as the economy is strong and growing in a place, I don't get too hung up on the image..

Like 'G-series' or 'H-series' (since 'V-series' is for performance).

So it will get 18mpg instead of 15mpg?

I saw a silver R8 today on my lunch run... first one I've seen..saw it quickly in busy traffic...looked great... had a Philly/NJ lunch today--went for a cheesesteak, had a TastyKake for a snack, and enjoyed listening to the Boss... beautiful, sunny day here--65 degrees and some gold leaves still on trees...4 more hours in the cube, then I'm free...

I like the darker wood and the tan and red two tones (esp. the red). The sweep of the passenger side trim vaguely reminds me of the previous Jag XK (but smaller) ..the steering wheel (w/o the wood) reminds me of the 3-spoke design of my old '84 Escort... overall, I like the design, esp. the gauge cluster and center stack...for a luxury coupe/convertible, wood is a must (carbon fiber looks disgusting, IMHO, and aluminum trim would be better suited to a sports sedan/coupe).

Now if it had been the LA Times or San Jose Mercury News with a good report on the Malibu, I'd be impressed....but the Freep is the local paper to the industry..

The Commander is pretty nice..too bad they didn't lengthen the wheelbase to have more leg room for the 3rd row. I've got an '00 GC and have thought about upgrading to a GC CRD...

Got the new Automobile in the mail today..there's a multipage Pontiac ad, incl. the Torrent, G6 GXP 'street edition' and the G8...lots of G8 pics, and interestingly, the rear photos show no badging at all...

Yes..it will be interesting to see what things are like then..I'll be ready to retire then..

Modern diesels can get 55 mpg...even old diesels got that (my '84 Escort diesel got 55 mpg highway). But to get a fleet average that high is another thing...

You mean $7k less....in ANY comparison, the BMW is always more expensive (the 3-series was 47.7k and the G37 was 39.5 EST). A friend of mine just bought a G37 last week...sharp car..I rode in it Sat. night..seemed very tight and smooth..

It's pointless to argue with him...he has his own twisted agenda and world view.

What amazes me is that there are people that find such nonsense cool or attractive...

GM right now has a few cars that appeal to me...the new CTS and the G8 are cars I would seriously consider... I also like the Kappas, the Enclave, and the Corvette...

So? They are still GMs...and Pontiac only has one Holden..they also have a Toyota-based product, a Chevy based product, etc..

Perfect for dictators to recieve their crowds and rap stars to arrive at clubs in..

I've had a few people comment on my '87 Mustang GT and one guy offered to buy it at a car show... I realized a while back that it was getting to be a collectible rather than just another '80s Mustang. A few years ago I started realizing that I didn't see as many 5.0s around as I used to, and at a car show realized that pretty much anytime I see a late '80s 5.0 they are worn out or modified (often tastelessly, IMHO). Mine is in original, one owner condition--original paint, wheels, interior..only 63k miles..

I'd recommend it to any fan of the Boss..

I doubt it..probably just random psychos or kids wanting to build Donks or lowriders..

Good cause...I know what you mean about being cold...I wear my tuque all the time in the winter, even indoors... but I'd rather shave my head than have the graying horseshoe-shaped hairstyle...

Very good..I'm enjoying it..
