KILL/SELL: Saab, Saturn & Hummer. DO NOT FU** WITH FOR FEAR OF AN A$$KICKING: Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Cadillac.

When I started driving back in 1995at 16 years old, gas was routinely under $1.00 in the no-name stations... My Pontiac almost always got PREMIUM to the tune of $1.19 or so.

Well I agree 100%. BTW: While I almost ALWAYS wear my seatbelt and occasionaly give my friends & relatives a hard time for not, I do NOT agree with seatbelt laws, esp. where it's the only offense you got pulled over for.

Cool.

No "I told you so" here dude, I hope you have the best of luck with this mess. VW is what it is, still certainly better than Toyota or most any Japanese car.

That is so disgusting it makes me want to puke!

Satty: Please DO elaborate. Are you saying (as I suspect) that the REAL agenda was not DUI arrests?

Get this man elected President, ASAP! America, FU$% YEAH!

Filled up the 500SEC this AM at Sunoco for $40. ($1.87/gallon) My wife told me that she saw it at $1.77 at the Sunoco in No. Reading.

Yeah, that was a cool idea. "Tight Whips Pie Swap"

Wife cooked like there was no tomorrow. We did dinner here at my house, my parents, Julie's dad (father-in-law) and the two girls made it just 7 people, but we had more food than you can shake a stick at. A Turkey, a huge Honey Glazed ham, several pies & tons of side dishes & deserts. We started eating around 2:00pm,and then at 4:30 I drove Sofia to my ex's house for their dinner w/ her mom's side of the family. After that we went to visit Julie's uncle, who soooooo Italian you'd think he's a character from the cast of "Goodfellas". Good times. Did you hear about the recall on Butterball Turkeys!? I guess several thousand defective ones got shipped to retailers; they forgot to butter-the-balls! Yuck-yuck!

Agreed!!! Right. I called a cop a NAZI when I was 22, he WAS a d!ck and I DID manage to prove, with info. from the Law Library in the Courthouse that I photocopied from some book called the "Mass State Police Procedures & Guidelines" or some other such crap, that HE was in the wrong... And guess where it got me? The Judge told ME I was responsible ANYWAY, and now it's on my permanent record that I called a police officer a "Nazi". Wonder why I never catch a break these days & even got a ticket for doing 42 in a 35. The cop WAS just doing his job. But, let's forget all that for a sec. PCS is slamming the USA for RSCs and the lack of "individual liberties" in the USA there days , post 9/11, but he's happy to wax poetic about the EU, where, any intelligent person will tell you, the laws are much more restrictive & in Germany (just one for instance) you can even get ticketed for: "Driving Without a Destination" In other words, taking a joyride.

I have to go with PCS on this one... BOTH Roadside checkpoints AND the Patriot Act are unconstitutional and unAmerican. I've never been pulled over in any sort of mass Sobriety checkpoint but if I had, truth be told I might have reacted with the exact same answers to their prying questions. Where you have been and where you are going have NOTHING to do with Sobriety. Pulling people over to ensure sobriety is fine with me ONLY if it is done on an individual case basis, one car, pulled over by one or two cops, based on probable cause. ---- Back in April/May of 2007, a few weeks after I bought the '59 Buick, I decided to go take a look at a certain 455-powered '76 Buick. Most of you will remember this car as the brown/bronze 4-door hardtop that I ended up selling to Fly later on that summer. My buddy Robin came along with me to take a looksie at the bicentenial Buick, we drove the B-59 up to the small, yuppie-loaded Fishing Village on the North Shore, I looked & photographed the '76 Buick up and down, I told the guy I most likely would be back if & when I sold one of my cars and we decided to head back to Chelmsford. Hours later, Robin had blown $200 at the local strip club on booze and the empty promise of vagina.... I quite literally had to help him into the B-59, he was drunk as a skunk. Going home I crossed over a small bridge that was under construction, it was down to one lane & traffic was forced to alternate via a makeshift light. I got the green & drove across slowly, then zig-zagged around the manhole covers on the stripped road past the bridge, in other words the old asphalt had been scraped down about 5-7" & so the manhole covers & storm drains stick up 4-8", often times this gets done and weeks go by before new asphalt is Lid down. This idiotic practice is common in New England, esp. Mass. The point is that unless you have 33" super-swamper tires it's best to drive around these obstacles, instead of risking a flat tire, bending a rim or both. But I got pulled over for: 1. driving too slow across the bridge 2. swerving around The cop was polite enough and I told him that while i had not been drinking I was driving Robin home from the strip club and he HAD more than he should have. Still I had to answer a whole list of questions, some sensible, some idiotic: I explained to the cop that was driving slow across the bridge because the B-59 is MUCh wider than a typical car and the ONE lane of the bridge that is open was quite narrow... also, I had the fear of some jackass running into me head-on from the other side of the bridge, some dolt who might run the red and fail to notice traffic is supposed to alternate. I was quite annoyed, but remained polite. Had it been a "check point" stop I would have certainly have made mention of my civil liberties being violated. ---- Balthazar: This IS still be best county in the universe but it certainly sux compared to the USA of the 20th century. I can see why you're offended by PCS's rant, being that he slams the USA for stupid reasons at times...

21.1 average... in a carburated, V8, BOF, all steel, large car with a drag co.ef. comparable to a Peterbilt.

Wow.... if I only had a garage/time/$ I hope to trade up to an Invicta hardtop but there's NOTHING wrong with a 364.

M.M. is and always was a scumbag... just because he's on the right side of the argument on rare occasion is nothing but coincidence. Hate is a strong word, but I HATE Michael Moore.

I listen to Garbage all the time.... only have the 1st two albums. Rememeber the "Only Happy When it Rains" video? HAWWT. I had a crush on Shirley Manson back in high school. Everclear is a good band too.... "AM radio"

+1 I wish we got an update on the '76 LeSabre.

Fantastic. A+ Great truck, great year... I've had a couple myself. Too bad your Burb has a tailgate & not barn doors. XP715 has almost a 1/4 million miles on his 1990 Burb 1500 2wd...

Garish eXalted Turd

Kick a$$!!!! To piggy-back off of Oldsboi's idea, I wish I had the time & money to drop the hood down on the B-59 post-364-rebuild and caravan with them!

Performance for the everyman... Sporty, elegant, classy but not out of reach. Widetrack Split Grille Performance designed IN not added on BMW for those on the budget, or in many cases a thinking man's BMW

Nissan OVERALL is a decent brand... but I never said ANYTHING positive about the versa.... EVER. The Versa is a frog sh!tbox. I agree S66... the Ford, Sat-pel, Chevy & Honda are all better buys.

Mr. Brown Can Moo... Can You?

That's not only insulting but ignorant. The G8 keeps up with a BMW M5 in every category and you compare it to a washed up Ford sedan that was in need of a redesign 15 years ago?!?! What like a freekin G6? Maybe G5 sedan? If the Camaro were a true hardtop then I would be much more drawn to it than the G8, as it is it's almost a perfect tie. Here's the thing... have you seen the size and bulk of Baby paraphernalia these days? Now that I have two kids a Camaro would not work for a roadtrip or even a big shopping trip. The stroller/baby carriage, baby-bags & wife's purse takes up the entire trunk in the "big-body" Benz... & the back seat is crammed full with a booster seat & baby-seat. The baby carrier we have while super safe for the baby is the size of Fat Man and the diaper bag is about the size of Little Boy. Now before you go off on me just remember that I have talked the talk and walked the walk on the whole issue of using a two door for a family car.. but the '10 Camaro is going to be a far cry from my old Banana Boat or my '59 LeSabre... which COULD swallow all our baby accessories & accommodate two kids in the rear seat with room to spare.
