Croc

In Indianapolis.

Test drove a Lucerne CXL over the weekend. Very nice. All three Lucernes the dealership had were out on test drives and we had to wait 20 min for our turn. Quite the looker.

I don't feel SAAB has that image anymore. It isn't on very many peoples' radar at all, and while "quirky" might come to mind, I really don't see the "stoner" image around much today. Pontiac is saddled with a negative trashy image; like it or not that is the reality. Even if SAAB does have the image you purport it to have, quirky and eccentric is more doable than trashy and cheap. SAAB has two things going for it: it is premium, and it is an "import." Again, SAAB at least doesn't have a negative image. Anyway, GME needs SAAB more than GMNA needs it.

Speaking of Abercrombie my friend just got hired there...and my guess is that he didn't apply and just got hired on the spot. Lucky bastard.

If you lock your car and it is equipped with Theft Deterrant, it would be fairly unlikely for someone to go to the trouble of breaking into your car, hiding in the backseat to murder you, and you not noticing either the horn honking or the exterior lights still blinking as you approach the vehicle.

I'd rather see Pontiac go than SAAB. It is easier to mould a nonexistent image (SAAB) into a positive one than to try and do the same with a negative image (Pontiac).

Oh, well it is different in Indiana then because the logic is that if one is going into the oncoming traffic lane one should do the passing quickly.

Of course, this completely ignores PASSING someone, which is a legal way to speed. This also would prevent someone from speeding up to avoid getting T-boned...or any other legal reasons to speed. This is BS...and I bet it wouldn't fly in the US.

Hey buddy, what are you on? Sounds more powerful than the percocet I'm scheduled to take soon. Help a brother out...

Honestly I'm sure he's fine... To be honest the way he kept talking about it all I kinda got the idea he wants/wanted his parents (or at least mom) to find out. See...for someone trying to keep a secret, he wasn't really seeming to try all that hard. And if he weren't dropping hints left and right, would his mom ever really start asking? Why would she? Let's be honest...it isn't normal human behavior for a parent, upon seeing his/her child drunk, to start interrogating them about their sexuality. There has to be a reason to provoke that line of thinking, you know what I mean? Basically I'm saying this: BV would know if his mom would be ok or not with it...and if she wouldnt be ok with it at all he'd be doing a hell of a lot better job keeping it a secret you know? So I think if he has chronicled his mother pestering him about it on here, and therefore dropping some kind of hints to her...that deep down he thinks she would be sorta ok with it at worst and so that he is most likely alright. Whew! Too much psychology there...and I could be wrong but my gut says he's fine.

no sale here, sorry

Mine was great, thanks for asking! I was in the kitchen all day with the Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, apple pie and collard greens. Mi madre made a salad that had some citrus in it. The aunt made a cream cheese pumpkin pie, and the cousin brought some green beans with this spicy island-type sauce that was so good. I wanted to eat so much, but that ephedra stuff made me stuffed before i could finish my first plate...Oh, and I had another large glass of Woop Woop. Overall a great dinner. Then I went to the Pacer game with the parentals and my little second cousin Korey (he's 7) and had a lot of fun watching the Pacers kick some ass. OK...who else?

People who habitually do that do me find themselves cut off VERY quickly...

Yea I love it too, so I am happy they are keeping it...

YES! SPIN THE BOTTLE!!

Dude...that half of the digital display JUST had an airbag indicator light on it. No big loss from my point of view...

Buick hasn't been a "car" company since the Rendezvous, Rainier and Terazza. --- I like Invicta, but I am putting my foot down: no bubbletop.

Seriously, I think Sixty8s onto something. Why should GM even bother designing new cars? Why don't they just start making the same exact cars as they did in the 1950s and 1960s. You know, relive the glory days. :rolleyes:

Exactly...not "booming." That's all I was getting at. CA is a great state, and IMO one of the better ones in the Union. That said, I know some of our posters are still hurting economically and don't really need it thrown into their faces implicitly, especially not when the current state of things here was being exaggerated so much. If CA were in such an "amazing" economic boom I wouldn't be seeing nearly as many transients all over the USC area and I wouldn't be dodging bum feces on Figueroa. Just saying...

Whatever it's Motor Trend...most people don't use it for car shopping anyway.

The proportions are horrible. I hope the real program looks markedly better.

F-A-C-E-T-I-O-U-S it's the only word with all of the vowels present and in order

Dude...I know you love Cali don't get me wrong I do too but good lord you are extremely isolated from the rest of the country. There is no booming economy outside of California, and frankly I don't see much evidence of it inside California either! Cali isn't as bad as the rest of the country right now, but it ain't booming either.

Thanks red! Yea...this doesn't seem like a hard assignment, just a time-consuming one. What with Thanksgiving break, there are no office hours before the due date, but again it shouldn't be necessary if everything is considered. Plus, I elected to work with a partner on this so it isn't like I am doing ALL of the work, probably just most of it! LOL
