I don't care that the billboards change per say.... it's that they're so god damn bright that it causes a glare at nighttime if they are too low and close to the road. There is one near me on the Lincoln Highway that is so bright and just above the level of a stop light, that I can't actually see the traffic signals closest to me as I approach. I have to look to the other side of the road to tell if I can go or stop. Now, I drive this road regularly, so I know to look over there, but there is no warning that this intersection is coming. It's behind a curve at the bottom of a long hill.

2010 SRX Has Largest Gains In Sales And Residual Value In Segment Sales up 493 percent, projected resale value up 17 percentage points 2010-06-14 - Via GM Media DETROIT – Since its debut last year, the all-new 2010 Cadillac SRX has posted the largest gains in its segment for both sales and projected resale value, establishing SRX as a leader among mid-size luxury crossovers. SRX total U.S. sales through May have risen almost 500 percent, compared to the first five months of last year, outselling the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Acura MDX. The average transaction price for the new SRX is more than $2,300 higher than the previous model. Along with the sales and transaction price increases, SRX's projected resale value has risen 17 percentage points in the past year, the largest gain in its segment. SRX's projected resale value after 36 months is 48 percent of the initial purchase price, compared to 31 percent for the previous model, according to the May/June forecast by ALG, an industry benchmark for residual values and depreciation data. "Cadillac has done all the right things to support higher residual values for the SRX," said Matt Traylen, ALG's Chief Economist. "The all new 2010 model is substantially improved, but was launched with a significantly reduced MSRP. This resulted in record low incentive spending for the SRX, lower reliance on fleet sales, a quicker turn time on dealer lots and ultimately a positive impact on brand value." The SRX has remained in high demand since its launch last summer, said Kurt McNeil, vice president of Cadillac sales. The 2010 SRX delivered bold design to the fast-growing mid-size luxury crossover segment, he said. "Residual value is a key indicator of the strength of the new SRX," McNeil said. "SRX has succeeded by offering distinctive styling, great handling and a host of features that help it stand out in the luxury crossover crowd." Offered in all-wheel and front-wheel drive versions, SRX comes standard with a 3.0L direct injected V-6 engine. It has an optional 2.8L turbocharged V-6. SRX's available features include a cargo management system, pop-up navigation screen, adaptive forward lighting that swivels the headlamps in synch with vehicle steering, integrated hard drive for audio storage and pause-and-replay radio and a dual-screen system for rear entertainment.

Well, technically they are getting "donated" to a technology recycler, but I'd divert one to you if needed. Let me know, I'm going to try and have them gone by the end of this coming week.

haha, well, I didn't mean I was going to send you the whole box... just what you needed. It's be like a $1 in postage. I think I can swing it.

To be fair to GM..... they have: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyYq4_3fw2s&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyYq4_3fw2s&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyYq4_3fw2s&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

If you need a DVI to DVI cable, let me know. I'm about to throw out a huge box of them. I think I also have 1DVI to 2DVI splitters hanging around. I would be happy to send them to you.

all 79 horses of a museum piece first generation Ford Escort very base station wagon

What if the US loses to the UK in south africa? then what?

I like the "Build it here, build it right" attitude of the new Grand Cherokee commercial.

That interior is pretty "wow"!

OMG, they have the RWD for single mom of 2 kids argument on there!

I'm sure they could muster up another 1,000 per year in sales, no problem, with the right incentives.....

You don't look a day over 74! Happy Birthday and we look forward to the news.

Already on it's way. We'll be upgrading to IPBoard v. 3.1 in July and with that an iPhone app will be made available with an Android app to follow shortly.

A first gen Honda Fit with the "Turbo" badge from an older Saab pasted on the back. I don't think they're fooling anyone.

A plastic induction system is lighter than a metal one. I don't mind it since it will be under a plastic garbage can lid anyway....

No, I passed on the Caprice... there was just something in my gut telling me no. I might go look at a Subaru Legacy wagon. 98k miles, 5-speed, driveable but will need a clutch soon, very very clean interior. Minor bumper dings from someone parking via braille. They're asking $2500.

There is an astonishing number of operational first gen and First gen + MCE K-cars around here. There is a museum quality circa '83 Lebaron Turbo sedan running around with the original owner (by the looks of her) behind the wheel.

Really? See, around here it's all about the Cavalier in that vintage econo-car.

Because the Satellite TV services don't control the content of the individual channels. They're just the carrier. XM Radio actually owns most of their channels with the exception being the news stations like CNN/BBC/NPR/Sports etc

That's what I had but in light brown. Mine was an '85, the shape of the front fenders on that make me think it's an 83 or 84

Have any Pizzaria Uno near you Croc? Best long island I've ever tasted and STRONG.
