In case you haven't noticed, unemployment isn't temporary lately.

Happy belated

I've got spiders in my socks.

you've gotta watch them as they come back up out of the depression sink hole. Sometimes the depression eases up enough that they get the energy and motivation to try it again. There are people out there who are too depressed to even bother to kill themselves and putting them on medication without constant observation can lead to disaster.

Wagon is the word while the kids are still small. Subaru, Volvo, Flex, A4, Passat or Jetta. If you do go minivan, the new Quest is actually very handsome for a minivan.

Over the next few days I'm going to be cleaning up and consolidating some forums. Check this thread for where things end up.

You can't make the claim that Cadillac should have the sales volume of Mercedes and then refuse to acknowledge that Mercedes has gained almost all of that sales volume by moving down market. Do you really want a Cadillac version of the Spark and Granite? Because that is what it will take to get Cadillac's volume to match Benz's.

now you can solve practical problems

Been in your same situation before. Also been in one where two prescriptions that shouldn't have been mixed, were accidentally mixed.... and the effect of the mixed drugs sent the user into confused panic where he was probably going to hurt himself.

We had a neighbor with a green diesel Checker. I hated that car.

If Cadillac wants to be like Mercedes, they better be developing a STV (Savanna Touring Van) and fleeting the CTS and XTS out to Taxi companies. Edit: Oh yeah, and they'll need their own version of the Spark and Granite. Maybe they could reuse the tooling from Hummer to make their "old military vehicle turned luxury" SUV. And a garbage truck..... GOTTA make a garbage truck to compete with Benz.

I rented a 2011 F-150 Crew Cab for the weekend to do some haulin. It has me thinking about a truck again. This truck is too big to get around comfortably in my driveway though, as much as I liked it. The Avalanche is 22 inches shorter and I could really feel the difference.

I think we should be doing everything we can to encourage new car company start ups in this country. Even if they start off just building cop cars. There is always a market even on the civilian side for durable and efficient. These could be the new Checker Cab for areas that don't have the NY Taxi board.

That means an Impala with 37mpg

jeers

not factory?

<-- You can see my opinion on the subject.

7Springs opened this weekend!

the tailgate setup is sweet

why won't Jeep just build this at the factory? Why does it have to be a kit?

I'll point out that the CTS still sells with the 3.0 V6.

aannnd... yet again you ignore the 2.0T Audi and 1.8T Merc.... double standard......

Well they should have closed up shop right then!

that shared an engine with plymouth... I mean.... imagine if it was an Imperial....!

any word in there on where they're going to build the vehicle? It still looks like it would make an interesting mid-size family sedan.
