Obama was busy fixing parking tickets in Chicago 30 months ago.... So a VP nomine who is a podunk mayor from Alaska is not that bad.

And speaking of which Chevrolet's first V8 was cast as two 4-cyl bocks with a common crank

XP... yeah agreed, we've had hours of convrsation about this topic. However I think Balthy was driving at the comparison of the Holy Grail of motors, the styled, gorgeous, advanced OHV 452 cu.in. V16 to a mere pedestrian Chevy small block.

yes. agreed. and you're not a yuppie in my book.

Great point. But the ragtop is a lot more expesive, it wouldbe all about the cost to me. (thinks deep for a few sec.) Now that you mention it, that is a smarter way to go.

I hate the Liberal mentality. Liberals empower a lack of responsibility and a disgustingly powerful government. I also hate retarded Reps. who quote the bible to prove a point in 2008, I dislike extreme social-conservists and it goes without saying I despise yuppies, racists and ESPECIALY hate threats to the 1st and MORESO 2nd amendment. Al Gore, Ted Kennedy Hitler, Stalin & Pol Pot are all one and the same to me. MLK was a great man, he belongs up there with our founding fathers. I am an enigma I suppose.... I am a Libetarian, but tend to favor Republicans. BUT, for the record: Bush, McCain & Cheney all suck! I think Bush is a terrible pres. and a disgrace to the Republican party BUT, eve more annoying are uber-liberal idiots who think Bush is responsible for everythingbad in this world from 2000-2008.

Too busy pumping billion$$$ into SAABand Saturn.

That's kind of like saying you would rather have a slap to the face verus a punch.

Spoken like a true GM employe in 2008. And if you really are not aware of the cookie-co. executives that helped to destroy many of my favorite things about GM with their mismanagement in the 1990s then we really need to call you out on your Shenanigans!

No.... like I've been saying for weeks, today is 1974... next year will be 1975.

Yup... like I said (back a page) earlier,this is like the perfect case of a lose/lose scenario. Both candidates suck, and as much as I wated to beleive that for just ONCE a politician was going to emerge who had standards, principles & a well focused agenda for positive change... turns out Obama has some really scarry skeletons in his closet... and in some ways a dark and very questionable circle of friends. So I guess simply by default McAmnesty is the lesser of the two evils if that counts for anything.

Yes, very true, but no more so than Democrats. The political left is a disgusting falacy... people with no dignity, standards or principles trying to convince us that somehow THEY, the wealthy, powerful elitist hyporcrites they are, will help the little guy, stop the evil "USA Incorp." monster from destroyingthe middle class and keep you safe in your bed at night... PLEEEEEZ. And Ted Kennedy is like their super-scumbag King.

OPP? hhahahhahah!!! that brings back memories of my youth, when "Naughty By Nature" videos flashed before my eyes on our 24" NEC television, during an era when 5.0 Mustangs were in showrooms in both notchback LX and hatchback variety, the (original DOHC) Corvette ZR1 was on every magazine cover and there was no such band as "the Eagles", even though Don Henley was busy making music and Michael Jackson was still semi-normal.

As Balthazar already said; the 1970s started off strong... M.Y. 1970: 95% of domestics are appealing to me, 40% of them are downright AWESOME! M.Y. 1971: 80% appealing, 35% of them are downright AWESOME! M.Y. 1972: 75% appealing, 35% AWESOME! M.Y. 1973: 75% appealing, 25% AWESOME! M.Y. 1974: 45% appealing, 10% AWESOME! M.Y. 1975: 35% appealing, 7% AWESOME! M.Y. 1976: 30% appealing, 5% AWESOME! and that downward trend does NOT reverse as the 1970s wind down.... ANY car from year 1973 or later has a BETTER looking, better built and much more innovative ancestor in the late-'60s or early '70s. That '75 Coupe deVille makes me think: MAN I wish that was a '67 or '61 1975 Camaros makes me think "too bad that is not a '70 or '71, or better still: '69" '75 Firebirds make me wish it was a '67 or at least '73 the majority of '75 Fords are downright disgusting. to a much lesser degree the same can be said for most '75 Mopars.... show me a '75 Chrysler, or Plymouth or whatever and I'll show you a '60s equielant (never mind Imperial) that will blow it out of the water in terms of styling, quality, style, power and most importantly SELF respect.

Hey look... I bet I can use this radiator shell, fenders & side glass for my '32 Ford. If it looks close from 25 feet away it MUST be interchangable. This ain't horse-shoes &/or handgrenades.

Wow, THAT is one of your best chops yet. It's a bit lacking in continuity but still gets an A+ from me.

PCS: Do you like your job at GM(E) better than your old position in North America? You know that middle management job you had at Nabisco?

C'mon.... it's silly to even try to argue the styling of this POS. Deleting the wheels, which I think are actually decent, and deep-6ing the LEDs will only further make it look like a damn Lexus Prius-ES (NOT a compliment!) This is a very poor attempt to emulate a mediocre car. Again, right now I'm only discussing styling, but in terms of technology and effciency I think Hon-DUH will do better than Toyo-DUR, but not by much & certainly not enough to justify anyone with a set of (non-shrunken) testicles to ever buy it.

and the Lords of the Underworld! timmey-timmey-TIMMMM-EHHHHHHH!!!! :rotflmao:

9.3 miles to the gallon!!!! At first when I saw the 13/9 for fuel economy (before I realized it was liters per 100km) I thought since it was a late 1990s style GM self-adhesive window sticker: Suburban 454!!!

Oh, sorry Oldsmoboi. I have friends who go out of their way to NOT absorb anything to do with politics, the election or anything even remotely related. I do not agree with it but there's a lot of peop[le who are not up to date with even the basics, I guess I should have known better than to ask you that... That's what happens when you average 3.7 hours of sleep for a year+ I will never get used to waking up at 2 or three in the morning.... and come "peek" (our pre-Xmas ultra-busy season) I will probably be asked to work 1am-9am... fun, fun.

do you mean HONDA badge? huh? x.plain?

Oldsmoboi: Are you serious? Who didn't? I thought it was common knowledge like the fact that we all know G.H.Bush (Sr.) was a WWII fighter pilot in the pacific and got shot down in air combat in a Wildcat... (or was it Hellcat?) fighter, it sank into the ocean and he was a sitting duck untill he got picked up... it was 1943 IIRC. If memory serves me correct McCain's captors tortured him, broke his arms & starved him. He was a POW for like 5 or 6 years!? Despite anything I don't like about the guy that kind of torture, suffering & anguish I can not even imgine, AAAAAND then again there's other POWs who say he exagerated his experience, refused to give crredit to the Vietnamese guy (some peasant) who saved his life by preventing McCain from drowning etc...

Sharp looking for a modern FWD "transport-pod" but still, it's "assembled in China"

Geezus, it's official, originality has LEFT the building at HONDA. Fer-Krist's sake, could they have tried any less to copy the Pri-sss? Eample number 5,256,397 of the Japanese, esp. Hon-DUH & Toyopet immitating, NOT innovating.
