Internet speed question
I'd have to explain to those young whipper snappers that the internet is a series of tubes. 'Stang, could your problem be that an internet was sent to you but got tangled up? Ok, I'm done channeling Ted Stevens.

The way Arizona is playing, I think they can pull it off. I just watched them finish off Philadelphia, I think they'll be able to handle either Baltimore or Pittsburgh.

Maybe one of the tubes is broken.

First Retail Production 2010 Chevrolet Camaro goes for $350,000
True, Croc's point (as I interpret it) is that GM could have sold the rights to first off the line and kept the $350,000. When you think about it, if GM had done it that way, the guy would still be donating to charity, just not the AHA.

What to choose instead of a G8 ST? The Torrent GXP, of course
After I bought my son a Radio Flyer, I realized how asinine strollers are.

Figured I'd get this up before the championship games kick off. Edited poll to reflect yesterday's outcomes.

Detroit 2009: 2010 Toyota Camry
I like that blue color in the first pic. As long as they leave purple in the 90's, I'm fine.

I assume the guy who bought it gets to write off $350,000-MSRP while GM will get to write off, at most, MSRP. Not a huge money incentive for GM.

Circuit City to liquidate remaining US stores
The parking lot at Circuit City was packed last night. I was talking to someone last night who was hoping he could wait a few weeks and get a laptop for cheap. I have a feeling all the good stuff will be gone before the discounts drop to 90%.

No, but it would have been a PR nightmare for them to auction off the first Camaro and pocket the dough.

Oh autostore parts guy
There is a guy at Autozone who really knows his stuff, the only thing about the LeSabre that has stumped him was the dome light bulb, everything else he's been right on. He seems to know what he's talking about when it comes to RWD, BOF, V8 dinosaurs. Then again, he's better since he drives a Marauder.

If I were the winning bidder, I'd order a white V6 automatic.

Oh autostore parts guy
HAHAHA....I was dealing with O'Reillys, both guys were young dumbasses. I wonder if I had gone to the dealership with my 20 year old wagon,if it would have been similar, only one guy there who was actually at the dealership, or out of high school, when B-Bodies were on the lot. Autozone is typically much better, just not as conveniently located.

I was going to get a junkyard blower, but the junkyard is a ways away, and I figured that with my luck the motor would die after a week. So I went the new route for an extra $5.

Opinions, please
If you keep it, you'll have a large, hauler-type vehicle that will allow you to have something small and fun in the driveway, something that seems MINI in comparison to your wagon.

That should not have taken over 4 hours from start to finish. But I have heat again.

And I have to give a huge "Go f@#k yourself" to General Motors for putting the back screw on the blower motor under the windshield and putting the two outside screws right next to the hood hinge. Really helpful guys. Also helpful, but not particularly related to this task, using Metric for some things, but standard for other things. That makes it so easy, I love having to keep 9,000 sockets nearby.

Oh autostore parts guy
As I mentioned in another thread, the blower motor on my car went out last week. So I popped the hood, hoping the it was under there and not in some asinine place under the dash. Lo and behold, it was right there against the firewall on the passenger side, right where it should be. I left it in place (that was my first mistake) and went on my merry way to an auto part store. I go in and tell the guy what I need, he asks for the make and model, I tell him its an '89 LeSabre Estate, he types away furiously, goes to the back and comes back with a box. I look at it, and since it looks like a blower motor, I go on my way(second mistake). Its not until I get in the car and get a couple blocks away that I check the receipt, which states that its a motor for a 1989 LeSabre FWD V6. Since I have to stop and get diapers, I pop the hood in the parking lot to make sure all the connecty-bits are the same. They're not. The one in my car has two separate plugs, the one in the box had a single plug. So I go to the nearest auto parts store (same chain, different location, not Autozone which was a bad idea) and tell the guy at the counter that I got the wrong one. So he hops on his computer, I tell him its an '89 LeSabre Estate wagon with a V8, he comes back with a different blower motor and asks if it looks right. It does not. So he gets the big book of auto parts, goes to the Buick section and starts looking at LeSabre, I then point him to the Estate section, which leads him to a different part number. A part number they dont have in stock. So he orders it (should be at the store in about half an hour) then says, "Huh, I guess it being a wagon makes a difference."

Put your tongue on it
When I was in 6th or 7th grade, a kid actually did stick his tongue on the flagpole when it was about 15 degrees outside. He was an idiot.
