Cremazie

FWD is embraced by many. Once people Switched they don't care to go back to RWD. Like myself, I don't see me driving a RWD for a few reasons; one would be bad weather traction, feel of acceleration, I like the feel on the wheel!

Abnormal, is it abnormal to puke just by looking at a car? if so, I am!

Ok, lets get this straight, I am a Union member so I may be a little bias. Over the last year my union (IBEW) and other trades unions have been negotiating with Several oil companies on work agreements but they are trying to get our unions to go for less citing that unorganized labor can do the same job at a lower rate. Now we are not talking about GM here that is bleeding from the inside out, we are talking about conglomerate oil projects that are run by the likes of Shell, Sunoco, Petro Canada, Canadian Natural, Husky Energy, Exon-Mobil. If anyone can tell me that they cannot pay workers at inflation rate of pay you have to be braindead. In our last agreement we recieved 3% over 3 years. If anyone is out there crunching numbers, that is 1% a year and average inflation for Canada is usually around 2.5% so we fall behind 1.5% each year.. In the meantime in the past 3 years oil has increased 160%, so if we are not going to get par now, we are never going to get it! Now, I was working on a similar site this spring on an organizing drive to try and regain some strength in the oil sands, but it failed.. Most people on the unorganizd job were too worried about losing their job saying "The company can't afford to pay us union rates" I really didn't see their logic, and they didn't see mine.. Considering that their relatively small contractor made 1 billion in profit last year, I feel that they were way out to lunch. I feel that our society is so steeped in fear, most of us are too scared to stand up and be heard! I will try and fight the fight! Oh and by the way, if someone feels that we may get paid too much I challenge you to build a Refinery, work 5 hours away from home on 11 day shifts at 10 hours a day, living in a cramped camp. Those are the conditions that 80% of the workers on the oil sands deal with!

Whoa, well that is another ball game, there is no reason that they should be cutting services, small area or not, education is very important and the investments made should remain, don't downsize and undersize! And on the 33 grand a year, I may have said 50's are ok, but less than that is not good... teachers should not make any less than 50 grand/year, it is an important job

If I worked near home that is pretty much what I would make per year working 50 weeks.. 50 hours avg. week!

It's certainly not easy, I guess that is also why girls hit on me so much too. Being shy doesn't help either, I am not going to hit on a guy that I am not sure is gay because of a few reasons: 1. Some guys take it as a insult, they feel that that appear gay. 2. Straight guys feel uncomfortable around you because they figure that you will hit on them next.. it just really sucks!

Yeah, it is all an image thing, so in 5-6 years they don't want people to look and see a crusty trailblazer with a GM on the side, because at that point most trailblazers will be running out of life.. see one with the badge and there goes the image! Mark my word, they will only have the badges on cars for about 5 years, similar to what chrysler did in the early 90's! (remember the spirit and the intrepid had them on the lower part of the passenger side front fender!

If they ever made it I would have to buy it! But then again, I may just have to buy before they make that decision!

Where I am from back in Newfoundland I would say 80% of people drive with studded tires between december and april, there is some snow, but lots of salt and rain and with that combined winter driving is not all that bad. But here in Alberta things are really dumb, for 1 studded tires are illegal and they don't use salt. Not much snow but the roads are covered in a glassy ice from late november till march.. I don't get that at all.. Mostly all seasons up here!

I remember that Trucks were for men and cars were for women, thats how it worked for everyone I knew and that's how I understood it. I thought fords were junk and GMs were the best, toyotas and hondas were for really young people that didn't buy real cars, kinda like a few steps up from a power wheels! (some things never change :P)

I just see any roadster at all being a chick magnet, I mean I love all roadsters..!

I agree, in fact it looks more specifically to be a chrysler concept car!

Umm, I hope that GM does most of the "developing"

A Used Aerostar AWD? they are dirt cheap and they are good all around for the numbers!

I hope we are talking a 5.3L V8 DOD, that would spice things up a little ;)

Well, living in the city isn't cheap but I pay $600 a month ($110,000) for my 1 bedroom 1 den condo with a heated parking stall (mortgage including property taxes). But then my condo fees are $120 a month which include building maitenance/heating/insurance.. nice place, bit pricy but it's home

yeah, GMC should get the Escalade... Cadillac needs no truck!

I think that they may grow weed plants in the new civic. The size of the greenhouse is amazing for such a small car, and you must be high if you buy one!

As I see it most of the cavemen still can't figure out how to use a computer! B)

With the three of them paired, they should just drop all similar cars.. just a few interesting notes: NO SUVs for Pontiac or Buick! Keep the vibe around, but base it off the delta. Keep the Park Avenue name around, make it RWD and make it so much like a cadillac to drive, but make it buick on the skin. Pursuit should stay around, but make it different from the cobalt GMC should make their trucks way different than chevrolet, make everything chrome!

Plain and simple, the lots are empty here... some 2006's are beginning to roll in. Other than that they have Aveos, Optra Wagons and and 2 Colorados.. Apart from the Colorados and the 2006 Impalas/Trucks the rest of the cars on the lot should stay on the lot.... I don't like the Aveo or the optra.. they only spoil the GM image, I think they should keep all daewoos on the Suzuki lots!

Gas prices here went from $1.13 a litre on Thusday to $1.51 a litre on Saturday.. that is insane.. I don't know if it will keep going like that but My father was telling me that it costs him $140 to fill his GMC Pickup

I drove one across a parking lot, only one at a dealer and it was sold, but the salesman let me try how it felt. Driveline feels smooth (shifter and clutch) and the engine sounds nice (3.8). The only problems I found was the step in height and the small window in the front doors. I am only a short person but I felt so cramped getting into the car, I drive the RSX and the step in is much more normal. On that window, man it looks ugly and it kinda makes the window goofy when they are rolled down!

It would be nice if the big 3 could debut a truck that could take advantage of this fuel "opening" 1000hp v16 getting 6mpg, it pisses me off that people say these things! Look at the cars one on one, most of GMs cars have more power than toyotas and hondas and they get better fuel economy... but they still burn them at the stake!

In the meantime, the friend of mine that I really liked called me tonight... kinda funny considering I hadn't talked about him in months and this is the first time he called in over a year! *sigh* and I still miss him.
