Good night and good luck.

Chas and I are off to Ft. Lauderdale and the Bahamas for a week starting tomorrow. Ta.

Here is a place to list/review/recommnd products and accessories you use on your cars. I'll start with my most recent "discovery" Bosch Icon brand wiper blades. These are the low profile blades you may have seen on the new BMWs and new Lucerne. They don't have a traditional blade frame, rather they are a one piece plastic unit with a "spoiler" lip on the top. I've found they work much better then any other blades I've purchased. Due to their framless design, the also work well as a winter blade. Easiest install ever. You'll spend 5 times as long trying to get your old blades off as you will putting theses blades on..... unless your old blades are also Bosch Icons. They cost a bit more, but for the difference in performance I think they are worth it.

unfortunately, the local Buick dealer is sporting a Top-O-Line Super De Lux Lucerne Brougham with a cloth padded top.

88 300C 98 F-85 442 and uhm..... J1000

As much as Buick wants to, they are not playing in the same league as the ES, Zephyr, and X-type. Cadillac has a car... now... that would positively KILL the Zephyr and X-type, and give ES drivers something a little more sporty then their current car. As for the 9-3.... Saab isn't doing a very good job competing with anyone right now are they?

"Sorry, I like cars with class" "Sorry, I don't like Kool-aide" "Sorry, I'm not a sheep"

Only because the Auto mags are stupid. This is a competitor to the TSX, Zephyr, ES, 9-3 and X-type. Not *everything* has to be compaired to the 3-series ya know.

Mary was not sinless. She was a daughter of Adam and thus had inherited sin. The Catholic church in the 8th century *decided* that Mary must have been a virgin during the Niecian <sp> council. Jesus did not commit sin, but as a son of Adam had inherited sin. Thus the need for him to die to pay for the sins of the world.

Face it 68, you're stuck in 1969. Cadillac has mostly moved away from names. All future Cadillacs will be a letter combination. EXT is a trim level of the escalade because it's never listed at EXT by itself. Welcome to 2003.

Neither CD nor I are suggesting that homosexuals *can't* be pedophiles, but we are suggesting that pedophiles that molest boys are not always homosexual. Many pedophiles identify themselves as straight otherwise. Read the studies about it. If we seem defensive about it, it is because pedophiles are so often wrongly associated with homosexuality and used as a reason to limit the rights of homosexuals.

The light is from me beating my head on the brick. :fcvxplode: :fcvxplode:

ARG!@@#$@#( At least I know you're joking.

Do some research on the matter and you will find that you are wrong. Pedophilia is not about sexuality, it is about power and gratification. It's a long term mental and physical rape of a person who doesn't know enough to tell someone about it or feels they will be punished for telling.

Oh... you're going to hear about this one for a while. homosexuals are not automatically pedophiles. Pedophelia is akin to a fetish like sado-masocism. The priests that commited these sins commited them against boys because that is who they had access to. I still think that if Pope would allow Cathloic priests to marry, they wouldn't have the problems with pedophilia they currently do. You don't see these situations occuring in a widespread manor in other denominations, and nearly all the other denomonations allow marriage by priests.

How about... "Mitsubishi... it's the new Oldsmobile" v. v. v.

Nuh uh!!! Doesn't work that way. If you're compairing performance cars, you have to compair important things like the quality of the plastic and legroom. I "lost" an argument in another thread where I was trying to compair the CTS-v to the M5 and how the current CTS-v compaired favorably on the track to the old M5. I hypothisized that the NG CTS-v with 500HP would compair favorably to the M5. The responses I got? The BMW is a better performer because of the dash plastic and front passenger legroom while ignoring the $25k price premium.

fix your link

It looks nothing like a Cavalier. Not even close. If you said it looked like a previous generation Grand Prix, I'd give ya that. But that said... remember when the boxy cars with big bold grills were so uncool? and small grill, aero were in? Now, the boxy \, big grill cars are in..... and small grill, aero cars are out.

Edit: Never mind... you just removed the link from the top of the page....

Seeing as I actually own a CTS and I've rented a 300c. I can say that the touch on the Chryslers compaired to the Cadillac is fairly similar with a slight edge to the Cadillac. As far as the "cheap seats"... what you can't really see in the pic is the suead insert. The regular seats in my CTS are extremely comfortable and fit me like a glove while still being firm. The comfort of the seat feel and seating position was a *major* selling point for me. I can make 7 hour trips without stopping and not be uncomfortable.
