Killing a Buick.
The Smart would probably be the only one damaged.

Has anyone ever seen this Hummer concept before?
Not really... these days it's all about fresh ideas and new blood. Revolutions require drastic measures.

Cory is a big boy!
You managed to live past 17? Damn after all those threads about riding your ATV by the light of the moon/stars with the lights off I put a lot of money on you killing yourself accidentally before the age of 18. The T.W.C.C. office pool is not going well for me. First Cadillac does not call the BLS the C!marron II and now this. All joking aside, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I too recently joined the 21st century and I got a regular celly-phone. I got a Verizon family plan through work (with a substantial discount) and I'll end up saving money over the Pre-paid phones I've been using. So now I gots me a RAZOR celly with recordable ring tones. My T.W.C.C. member's ringtones include: - Final Countdown (Europe) - Novermber Rain (G&R) - GASOLINA (Daddy Jankee feat. LIL JON) - Black Betty (Lynyrd Skynyrd) - One Piece at a Time (J. Cash) - Dirty Deeds (AC~DC)

Over a century of the "Horseless Carriage"

I... am... addicted...
Have you been watching it Fly? It's so much better than L&O, I think L&O-SVU (NY) is an alright show and all, the rest I barrely watch but DEXTER is the most entertaining TV show since I can remember, honestly the last time I was this excited about TV it was the 1980s and the show was KNIGHT RIDER. I love the inner narration and the dark humor. I'm not sure if I should be worried that I feel like I understand this Dexter character better than any other personality on TV. Don't worry I've never killed a human being & I am not about to, ever. What I mean is that Dexter's O.C.D. like obsession with his "hobby" is very simmilar to how all-consuming the car hobby is for me. The irony is that Dexter has no love for cars.

I... am... addicted...
Just watched the first few episodes of DEXTER on OnDemand. Boy am I hooked to this show. Not often do I get sucked into a TV show. I've actually always considered people who are addicted to television to be sad. I like to LIVE life, not just experience life vicariously through a two-dimensional media. That being said I love this show. It's such an awsome premise to have a dark hero "serial-killer-killer" or perhaps it's more like "serial-serial-killer" or is it "serial-killer-killing-serial-killer"? Thoughts? Other fans of the show?

Over a century of the "Horseless Carriage"
Well I for one will never agree to give Honda as a car brand any more respect than I would give any innovative 1920s "manufacturer" that consisted of a guy with a big barn who took Model T chassies and reverse enginered them while making his own improvements & turned out some intersting "buckboard" with his own hands at a rate of one a month. Honda has yet to really impress me. Mostly I think they will continue to make over-hyped, underwhelming cookie cutter bull$h! that women/asians/liberals buy & then trade in three years later on a Camry. Then the used Honda is bought by some ghetto-fabulous punk kid with an expense account with JC Whitney catalog who invests anywhere between $$20 and $40,000 into the car, not in maintenance but on a complete "Kustom"/"super tight"/"off the hook" set of wheels/body kit DVDs/X-box theatre trunklid/wide-body fenders/eibach suspension/turbo/NOS.... you get the point. In other words... a car that is meant to be a piece of $hit commuter pod like a "Honda Civic Luxury edition" which is what I like ot call the Acura RSX/Integra, or worse, an American spec. Civic or Accord get turned into a rolling statement of disgustingly poor taste.

Hmmm... on a related note I'd love to "trim" the tail section & wings off an airplane junkyard Cessna 172, & then mount the body onto a junkyard 1980s G-body frame. I'd put a fan-boat style "shroud" around the propeller & have it pull itself along down the road looking like a 1970s version of THIS.

Over a century of the "Horseless Carriage"
So is the L29. I posted it for that reason in response to B.V. Point being that FWD is neither a modern invention or in any way shape or form more revolutionary or unique, and also that the Japanese just recycle old ideas, they suck at coming up with anything original. The only revolutionary FWD car that was made after WWII is the Austin Mini. In that application a transverse mounted motor was utilized to the maximum benefit.

The Physics of Santa Clause
Oldie but a goodie. A few years before this website even existed I remember getting an email similar to this when we were one of the first in my neighborhood to have the internet. it was like 1993 & we had PRODIGY internet service. Cutting edge stuff.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Cadillac DTS-L
I still say this was money wasted. Instead GM should be getting the Zetas to market ASAP. Lots of Zetas in all shapes, sizes & lengths. To me the stretch would look a lot more classy if it was behind the B-pillar instead of in the dog leg & C.

So, who like fixing up vintage cars?
Perception can be deceptive those cars are probably a very ecclectic mix of a few diamonds in the rough, some real rot boxes and everything in between.

So, who like fixing up vintage cars?
Right? Were it not for the 1932 Cadillac V16 in a secret warehouse in Maynard, this guy would put "Cadillac Bill" to shame. Still $1.5 million is too much, this guy is another "Barrett Jackson dreamer" WTF is going to have that kind of time... I'm all set listing 50,000 items on ebay and dealing wiht about 459,273 potential customer emails.

2007 Police Tahoe
Eh, eitehr way I know what you meant. The thing is to me it seems like there's MORE police issued Tahoes/Expeditions down south then here in the north-east , lbs/per/lbs. All the listed advantages, esp. a rugged BOF chassis & high GVWR I understand, it's just that for every one Tahoe I see up here in Mass/NH there seem to be at least THREE in some southern state like Arizona or Forida. Then again this observation is limited to my experience traveling, I wish I had the time and money to travel more. BTW: Vegas, Phoenix & Petersburg FL is where I have noticed this phonomenon. Other than that I watch Cops once in a while and many of the cases where there is a Tahoe involved there is no clear advantage for the SUV except for sheer mass in the bump-manouver. In many cases they would be better off in a C.V.
