I'd take a Flex over a Tahoe any day, EcoBoost would just be icing on the cake.

It looks like Diamler kept some of Chrysler's designers.

I dont mind the styling, dont love it, dont hate it. I do like the interior, the back seat doesn't look huge, but I doubt that will be a huge concern for most buyers.

I had an econ professor explain in rather painful detail how a guy he knew as an undergrad lived in the library for a semester before being discovered and kicked out.

Thats in Chesterfield Village, which is kinda the western border of livable areas. Getting any further west, you have a lot of run down, low income houses, and a few fast-food places. Go too much further south you're out of the city, about 11 miles south and you're at my front door. I'd hate living there because, just like the rest of Springfield, the streets were designed by people who hate cars. Traffic is atrocious, you've got a 4-lane major highway due south, a 4- lane expressway due east and a narrow 2-lane due west, and gridlock on all of the no matter what time of day. There are a few restaurants and bars over there, plus the second run movie theater. For me, the problem is convenience, it takes forever to get anywhere from anyplace on the outer-edge of town, which is where that is.

Wanna bet they sell 400,000+ of them next year?

Time for a pizza and beer run.

For $500/month here you're not going to get a luxury apartment. You're going to get 500 sq. feet in the ghetto. $650 will get you something respectable, if you want an actual luxury apartment, your price of entry is going to be $1,000/month if you're lucky. We were looking at lofts as a way to cut our commutes, but it didn't make sense. There are apartments along the highway for $300/month, but they're $h!ty, pretty much just welfare moms live there. God I hate this place.

Technically, it means its the first hybrid-only model sold under a luxury brand. Until now all the luxury hybrids (Lexus LS, Escalade) had been based on traditionally powered vehicles.

Yeah, the one big one around here is packed full. Whats funny is that everyone is saying our local economy is strong, and that we're not getting hit hard like the rest of the country. In December alone 3 large employers announced they're closing, nearly 2000 lost their jobs. The only reason the housing market hasn't collapsed is that the market had already pretty much bottomed out. Houses cost nothing out here, so it would be almost impossible for house values to go down. Gotta love that right-wing spin.

That is flat-out fantastic. The rear end does give me a Lincoln vibe for some reason, but I dont think thats a bad thing.

After I decided I was going to go to law school, my initial plan was to spend 3 years living in a homeless shelter. It seemed like the most cost-effective option.

The advantage of living in town is that we'd only need 1 car, we could bike or walk most everywhere.

I dont care for housing prices in places that aren't here. Seriously, a 2br apartment in Baltimore is more than my mortgage on a 3br house. Dont even get me started on prices in Chicago. I've requested info from schools in other cities, but it looks like it'll either be her hometown or mine. We'll see who wins out.

Maybe if your idea of fun is the same as Richard Gere's.

?

You'll really hate the G1, which my sources tell me will be a rebadged Segway.

I'm sure the Camaro will drive just fi....wait...how much does it weigh? Wow, that almost as much as my 1989 Buick Lesabre Estate, and that thing handles like $h!.

SWERVE!! Spilled my Natty Light.

I've always wondered what it would be like to drive something with 80% of the weight over the front axle.

Google...I figured someone would have actually done it with a Clubman by now, but apparently nobody has.

Maybe, just maybe, GM will be lucky enough to convince me to buy a Camaro convertible sometime in the 2012 timeframe.

Roll into the pits Ooops, I just ran over somebody's fuel man
