Oh Snap! Gen. Petreaus says "I do think you should talk to our enemies"
Looking at Ricer's signature makes me realize that John McCain looks like my old 9th grade woodshop teacher.

Quick cash for a b-body
Hey, that's what I believe. There isn't a single cupholder to be found in the Cutlass and I couldn't be any happier.

Some G Body Love!
Very nice, SS623. Now, what do I have to do to get your friend's address so that I can take that particular Chevelle off of his hands?

GM and Chrysler are in Merger talks!
Well, I can tell you this: if GM merges with Chrysler, the Europeans will once again screw the Chrysler side of things over. At least Mercedes helped Chrysler with rear-drive cars, the first thing that GME will do is take the 300/Charger/Challenger right off the market and replace them with front-drive compact cars.

Toyota world's most respected company!
:rotflmao: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I wonder how many of those people who made such a statement actually had an educated opinion?

Next-gen Astra?
In light of recent decisions we've been hearing and seeing GM make, it's only a matter of time until this particular nightmare becomes a bold-faced reality. (Now, I feel like going into a brief rant ...) You know, the price of gas is going down ... and since GM is now focusing on solely building small, front-drive tin cans that no one in the North American market really wants, and also since it is a given that you will see people once again going back to SUVs and so on in light of such a change, I wonder what sort of position that will leave the company in over a few years time? I'll be so bold as to say that, because GM as a whole mostly let the Europeans slowly gain too much of a say in a lot of things that they do not have much knowledge in over the last few years, and because there is a chance that gas prices will continue to go down, GM will be holding the bag for not having the ability to build capable vehicles for all segments, for all people, for all wants and needs. It was Alfred Sloan who said something to the effect of "a car for every purpose and purse" and that was the mission GM followed best during it's glory years. Sadly, it hasn't followed it in almost three decades or so now. It's obvious what GM should be doing, but oddly, it isn't. Now the mission is of a horribly narrow-minded focus to build products on a basis of market fashions, to build whatever sells best at a given time as well as you can and just stick everything else on the back-burner. It's because of that GM is being run into the ground. The executives who are so short-sighted as to follow such a method should be handed pink slips by the top brass ... but sadly even the top brass at GM is shamefully guilty of this fatal error as well. GM management is still mostly stuck to adhering to the flawed, deranged ideals set up by the moronic Roger Smith in the 1980s and there is no denying that. May God help GM and it's executives survive throughout the next decade, that is if they can last that long.

Chevrolet reveals new WTCC challenger.
You know, if GM had any brains, they would sell a road-going version of this with SS badges and place it against at least the Lancer Ralliart, perhaps even the Evo.

Anybody want to guess where gas prices end up.....
It's $3.09 per gallon now. I'm going to keep hoping that we see prices of maybe $2.09 a gallon by next year. How nice would that be?

I just realized, Ford stock actually costs less than a gallon of gasoline.

Union spills Holden plan to build a smaller car in Australia
Yeah, just like I thought, it's going to be another clone of a Delta II model for Holden.

What happened to the thread about GM COO getting to the bottom of unacceptable losses?
The same thing had happened to the thread about the NG Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger, and all of the replies are now gone as well. Is this a possible hack?

Ford Stock
I didn't know it was that cheap. I might just grab some for laughs ...

GM to close Ohio SUV plant 2 years ahead of plan
Ugh, there's so much gray in these interiors, it's far beyond depressing. There's not a morning that goes by where I get in my own Sonoma and don't think to myself, "What do you have to do to see some color in the interiors of these trucks? Slit your own wrists?"
-

I paid $3.35 yesterday. I hope it goes back down to around $2.59 a gallon or below and stays there.

Post Your Olds!
Thanks, although it won't be around for long when all of the rust is removed and the car likely gets repainted black. It does sound like you need an Olds as your next car. I know there will be another Cutlass for me in the near future, hopefully. I love my Cutlass and the 1968 - 1972 Cutlass in general; these cars seem to embody a very decently balanced blend of Pontiac-like athleticism and Buick-like stateliness and for some reason, it really appeals to me. It's a shame that GM doesn't build a car like the Cutlass anymore.

Text messaging
But it all depends on how the person is using it. If someone is texting and not paying you much attention, like in the example O.C. presented, then yes it's pretty rude. If someone is doing it while their hands and attention are free, then I can't see how it could be considered rude.
