is it just me or do the FWD proportions look especially ungainly on this one...

Well... to completely gross everyone out.... he's also lactose intolerent... so feed him some milk and you could hook up a turbo charger if you wanted......

I was refering to the '66 Electra. I get 18/27 out of my CTS and 14/22 out of the Avalanche.

Uh... now show a pic with the top down.... see that little space in the bottom center? Yeah, that's all you get. Chas and I watched them demonstrate the top mechanism of the EOS at NAIAS. Being the VW lover he is, he instantly wanted one. I told him we're not getting anything like that from VW without the extended warrenty.

oh I already sleep much better... thanks.

The doctor was amazed chas was even functional at his level of apnea.

Chas was around 25 times an hour and his blood oxygen level would drop to 50%. He had surgery on his throat in November <when I almost lost him> to correct the problem but it only provided marginal benefit. It must be the genetics in his family because all of his sibling <5> and father snoore very badly. Most of the time the snoring is caused by weight... but Chas is 5'7" and 135lbs.

Well that.... and that he was getting super tired and taking naps around 4pm everyday.

This will be a huge boost to Mexicos tourism economy. This is something we should do here as well... even though I am personally anti-drug.

CPAP, it's a breathing device for him to use at night to releave sleep apnea. It forces air through his nostrils. In his case at about 9 cm of pressure.

He has to sleep hooked up to one of these every night now... I was complaining about being stuffed up from allergies at dinner last night and he called me a hypocondriac... I replied that not everyone has forced-induction. He nearly spit his water out at me.

After I took the CTS out of storage, I said "I've missed you old girl."

Of course you'd rather buy an IS over a Buick if you're looking for a fun to drive car... your compairing apples to oranges. Would you rather buy an ES over a Lucerne though.... that would be a much harder decision to make.

That was probably all they could fit in that nose since it was OHC and all.... had they used an engine with pushrods.... wait... what's that noise? <14 black foreign luxury sedans pull up and fire machine guns into Oldsmoboi's house>

Some of us aren't quite as insane as you. Here's another RWD, BOF, Pushrod, manual transmission for you. Link

Oddly, Pontiac just sent me an e-mail today saying that the G6 Convertible was now available.

"Because it bases at 27k"

15 city/18highway..... if you're gentle.

Loaded is fine....it's the fuel efficiency I'm more concerned about. I'm a year and a half away from replacing the CTS <leased> anyway. I'd like to stay with GM. Other then a short stint with a Lincoln, I've always driven GM.

I'm proud to be Sentra-Free.

LOL... um.... as I've said before.... size matters :AH-HA_wink:

Why would you issue a recall for 1000 vehicles? Just warrenty them out, treat the customers like gold, and for god sake keep it out of the press.

You're probably right....but the point stands. I don't want to go too much smaller then the CTS, but I'd like to stick with a 4-cylinder. If I go non-premium, my choices open up widely. Accord Mazda 6 Camry <yeah right> Malibu <can you get a Max with a 4?> Fusion/Milan <definately Milan over Fusion for me> Passat Legacy Some of those might be OK. I could probably live with a Legacy or Milan.... but I've got the money, I'd like I higher end car... I just don't want to waste gas with my new driving patterns.

If badging an Impreza as a 9-2x turned out to be a bad idea.... what Savant thought badging a Cobalt as a 9-1 was a good idea? seriously, didn't they learn their lesson with the original J-bodies? I have a better name then 9-1. Cimmeron by Saab
