Blind advocates lobby for noisier hybrid cars
I see a whole aftermarket popping up for this! You can download "drivetones" for your car. Want your car to sound like an Enzo? download it How about a Model T? download it. Personally, I'll have the subtle "thump thump" of a Galaxy class starship warp core for my car. Extra bonus if it makes the "go to warp sound" when you really mash the pedal.

In this case, it's being consumed with a straw....

Bro's Poll: What Cadillac Vehicle(s) Should Be Discontinued/Replaced?
None without a replacement.... and a few should be added. The EXT is a pure profit vehicle for GM, why would you cancel a high dollar badge job that isn't damaging the brand? It cost GM nothing to develop. Chevy Avalanche + Escalade nose + Escalade interior. You can't get much more parts bin than the EXT... so if it sells..even a little bit.. and does nothing to harm the brand image. Keep it.

Calling all geeks and nerds!
I always found the C's shape and style to be kind of awkward. It's not that stellar a ship to fly either <in Star Trek: Legacy or Armada II with the patch>. The D is more powerful and the B is more maneuverable. The E is just overdone style wise. my order.. and to keep this kind of automotive relevant: Excelsior class: '66 Oldsmobile Toronado, long sleek with nice curves but still has lines where it should have lines, looks fast, is fast, handles only so-so Galaxy class: BMW 750i-L that Dinan worked over, obviously built for comfort, but damn if you want to f@#k with it. Constitution class - refit: 1996 Chevy Caprice LT1, fairly unassuming, Goes by the Winston Churchill quote "If you're going through hell, keep going." Sovereign class: Dodge Charger SRT-8 - looks mean, just raw power Ambassador class: '08 Honda Accord, looks awkward from certain angles, others are faster, others handle better, but she'll always get ya home.

They're probably right... but that doesn't have anything to do with your love of cars...

That's all *I'll* do... it's the other guys that you need to worry about...

B... with D a close second. I tend to like the more graceful looking ships. The B was my favorite look, but the D would kick your ass and look great doing it.

Bro's Poll: What Main Chevrolet Vehicle Should Be Discontinued?
and the failure of the Aveo's economy to be better than the Cobalt's is more a function of what is under the hood rather than the whole platform itself.

Bro's Poll: What Main Chevrolet Vehicle Should Be Discontinued?
Aveo replaced with Beat Cobalt refreshed HHR refreshed Malibu Impala moved up in size either to G-body or Zeta Colorado refreshed similar dimensions, better interior. It's not that much bigger than the Ranger but it's worlds better. Also keep it for CAFE reasons, some guys that don't need something as large as a Silverado may start moving down if there was a good enough replacement available. Add diesel options. Trailblazer - Refresh on the same platform as the refreshed Colorado. Make it slightly smaller than the current model. If Toyota can have 4-Runner/Highlander, Nissan can have Pathfinder/Murano, Ford can have Explorer/TaurusX/Edge/Flex, then Chevy can certainly sell Trailblazer/Traverse if they're both properly designed. the fullsize trucks and SUVs are fine, but diesel options need to be added on lower models. and the need for the Express has already been explained. I would possibly add a smaller work van like the Astro to the Colorado/Trailblazer platform.... again for CAFE reasons.

The original Constitution all the way back in the original episodes was able to separate. However, it was a last resort, lifeboat sort of thing. The saucer and drive section weren't able to be rejoined without the help of a spacedock. A youtube visualization of what it might look like....

The Perfect Valentine's Gift.
more to the point, my bf proved to be quite distracting while I was cooking him his Valentine's Day dinner. I had to make him put away his plaything though lest something get singed....
