The prices seem quite reasonable..so a well equipped V8 GT should be around $35k or so..

Interesting...I didn't realize they had a 4spd auto that far back..I figured it would have been something in the late '80s.

How could they 'hate' something that isn't even out yet, let alone publically unveiled????

What year and model was the LAST GM NA product with a : 2spd automatic? 3spd manual? 3spd automatic? Column-shift manual? 4spd manual? 4spd automatic? FIRST with a: 4spd manual? 5spd manual? 4spd automatic?

I get them less often..what I get now are the wierd 'flow control' messages when I click view new posts every so often..

Maybe the base model will have a 4cyl, 4spd auto configuration.

Well, since the G8 is replacing the GP GXP, they are benchmarking it against it's predecessor...i.e. they are trying to improve relative to the past.... it's not like anyone is seriously going to consider a Pontiac a serious competitor against a German sports sedan--the benchmark really should be the Dodge Charger.

Interesting..that percentage is surprising, given the # of plants Toyota has in NA.

I've been using tiVos for about 6 years now, been very happy with it...easy to use interface, works great... I upgraded from a 13hr one to an 80 hr one (Series 2), which I keep filling up... ultimately, I'm going to want an HD one with a lot more capacity...I may try a homebrew setup at somepoint...a friend of mine has a mythTV setup with 5TB of storage.

That's cool...about the only interesting things I have in my cube at work is my red Swingline stapler and my Initech coffee mug.

Probably just wanted to invite you over to watch gladiator movies..

My brother has probably 100 or so 8-tracks, from back in the day...his '69 Fairlane has an original 8 track player... he's finally catching up with the late 20th century, though..his truck has a CD player and he's finally converting his cassette collection to CDs..

I like the Marauder alot..I wouldn't mind one of those either...

Neat video.

I'm seriously thinking of getting one these as my next daily driver...kind of the anti-Prius..they are such a bargain for one that's a year or two old..

Return of the Mack- Mo'Reece Marks

Speaking of your 'neighbors with Toyotas' thread, I've ridden w/ 3 different coworkers in their Priuses several times this year, and they've asked me if I want to drive it, and told me that I really should get one.. I'm not going to let peer pressure make me go green... (though I did buy SUVs back when all my friends were buying them, but I still believe in the usefulness of SUVs).

Arguing about the B-pillar is as stupid and pointless as arguing about the # of cupholders would be..as long as it has at least 2 cupholders, I'd be happy...and the irony is the guy the most upset about the B-pillar is someone who would never buy a new car, so his opinion is essentially pointless...

That's a clever design... it would be nice to see more car makers do something like that...

I got out of Michigan in '97 after grad school...I saw no future there, the economy was weak there then. I couldn't imagine spending 15-20 years at one place... in my industry (software) staying more than 3-5 years in one company is a rarity..people have to make career choices and drive their career forward for themselves and not expect a company, any company, to keep things on track.

Remember, the Camaro is a populist fun car, though..it has to appeal to a wide majority, from base 6 cyl models to the more focused big V8 models..it's not the Corvette.

Those are the wheels my sister's '85 500SEL had. Silver, dark blue leather interior. Had 175k when she bought it in '01 and over 200k when she sold it a couple of months ago. Fun car to bomb around Phoenix in, I always enjoyed driving it.

Que es CIB?

I'll admit though I despise MS technology and products, I've made a nice return on MS stock myself...better than my Sun or Apple stock. (I'm still a hardcore UNIX guy at heart, so I could never love Windows).

I scored 92%. Missed the constitution year also.. 1776 was the Declaration of Independence..I had forgotten that the Constitution came 11 years later. I missed the # of years Senators are elected for...thought it was 4.
