Interesting..I'd like to see GM do something stylish and interesting in the premium subcompact space...

I thought they only cared about their bibles, guns, war, and raw capitalism...

Bingo...in the UNIX world, C is still the language for system programming...along with shell scripting and Perl. I play around with C once in a while on my UNIX boxes (I've got 2 flavors of Linux and Solaris at home on various machines, plus OS X).. though lately my new favorite language is Ruby.

I've seen Priuses around here also with Bush-Cheney decals, which seem very strange and out of place...I can't imagine Repubs buying green...my usual image of them are the 'F**k the environment' types driving monster Hemi Dodge Ram bloatbeasts.... (I see so many Super Dutys and Rams in suburbia around here with W04, NRA, and other Repub decals).

I like it..it's a violent, aggressive sports car...the gorp looks integrated on the sides, not tacked on..and it's got the serious hardware to back up the looks..

I remember using the famous Kernighan & Richie C book (K&R) to learn C back in the day, almost 20 years ago (1988). I moved on to C++ then Objective-C from there...I've been doing Java professionally for the last 10+ years and have only gone back to C and vi a couple of times since then.

Yes, lots of vehicles have light knobs that work that way.. IIRC, I've had Fords that worked that way.

Some sort of truck?

Interesting..what is that?? 2 shifters?? Sounds alien.

That sounds like the kind of stupid thing SixtyEight will do to a 2010 Camaro in 2030.

It looks like the production version design is sticking pretty close to the concept.. very nice. One thing I can't tell from those pics is the A-pillars..the concept had very thick ones..I wonder if the production version has narrower ones.

8-speed???? Riiiiight..

Sixty Eight, can you please STFU with your insipid B-pillar ranting? Nobody cares..find something meaningful to contribute.

I love manuals, but I'd probably be content with an automatic with this car...in the Real World of stoplights, metered ramps, gridlocked freeway traffic, an automatic is easier to live with...

I've only seen a couple on the roads, but the Honda dealer near my office has at least 30 or so on the lot..all sedans, though..haven't seen the coupes.

Here's a pic of the bridge in Astoria, Or that I mentioned earlier..neat design. I've been across several interesting bridges in the Portland area the times I've been there..

There's a neat bridge in Astoria, Oregon...I drove under it but didn't get a chance to go over it a couple of years ago..will have to go back and drive over it...it was really high up (so ships could go under, I presume).

Lots of cool bridge postings...I love bridges. Here is a neat one crossing the Ohio River back in my hometown of Steubenville, Ohio:

I wonder how they fare in rollovers, though...rollovers seem to be the weakest area with full size trucks..the roofs tend to collapse due to the obesity of the body/chassis..

Here we go again...same sh*t, different week..

Cool idea..

As is Kazakhstan...and doesn't GM have partnerships/operations also already in Russia and Ukraine?

My Jeep has a lockout button for the rear doors (and one for the windows), but the front doors still open from the inside when locked.... I've gone to lunch w/ fiends before and stepped out and walked towards the restaurant, only to turn back after hearing people hollering/pounding on the doors, locked in the back...

If the unions don't bargain, Cerebus could replace 'em all w/ illegal Mexicans...other industries (farming, meat packing, McDonalds, etc) thrive working that way....

I started going to therapy back in the mid '90s when I was sinking into depression and madness from a failed engagement, PhD hell, near-alcoholism, etc... Therapy + Prozac + getting out of the infinite gray dispair of Michigan to sunny, happy Colorado changed my life for the better.
