  1. I dunno if the Fusion, Milan, and Zephyr are going to be all that invisible. I think the Milan and Zephyr are pretty eye-catching designs actually, and I really do like the Fusion. Most reviewers like it...

    Sixty8, do you have ANY inner-monologue control when you type?
  5. Croc replied to Dsuupr's post in a topic in The Lounge
    Are you Canadian? In the states, the PT is a Chrysler.

    Where is the M-Class's CD changer? I know my 2001 has a single CD slot behind the audio display screen and the 6-disc changer behind a panel in the cargo area by the wheel jack.

    this is based of the BMW 6er. The rear is giving me an Avenger vibe. I like it, though.

    H3 is selling just fine as is. Very popular. An uplevel engine CHOICE would be welcome though.

    How would those titles bring in more money than keeping an entire redundant line of vehicles priced higher than their Chevrolet counterparts? I really fail to see the logic. EDIT: Fly explained it best.

    I like mine, which is why I chose it.

    GMC is the LAST brand that will get cut. For minimal upgrades/differentiation from its Chevrolet counterpart, there is such a price premium on the GMC model that that division is almost pure profit. Also, some people "won't be caught dead in a Chevrolet." This article's author really doesn't have a very good grasp of the industry...

    sweet find
  13. Croc replied to tama z71's post in a topic in The Lounge
    Well yea...what I was getting at is that no one is physically FORCING you to be PC, but there might be consequences for NOT being PC when you should...
  14. Croc replied to tama z71's post in a topic in The Lounge
    Exactly. Agree 100%

    I love the new interior with the wood. The Aluminum looks cheap and somewhat unfinished... I actually like the use of the corporate radio in this application. It looks nice as far as I can tell. I think they extended the airvent plastic to the hazard light button for two reasons: 1) It provides a more unified look to the entire center stack, and 2) It is easier to fit the wood around larger pieces of plastic than a piece of plastic and then a button. I know my father's DHS has a fit issue around the more intricate wood fittings on his dash, such as around the air vent shutter controls and hazard light module.

    The reason I never referred to her health problem initially is because you would never know that just upon meeting her. That was the point I was making, that you can easily make a snap judgment without all the info and therefore offend people, hence the need to be sensitive and PC because you just don't always have all the info. I wasn't arguing semantics at all. I really thought that by your using the word "tactful" you knew what it meant and were using it appropriately.
  17. Croc replied to tama z71's post in a topic in The Lounge
    No that would just be racism. PC is when you say "challenged" instead of "handicapped," "petite" instead of "short," and other such types of euphemisms designed to convey meaning while not offending those you are discussing. It really is a manners/diplomacy/sensitivity thing. No one is forcing you to be PC and polite, but you might end up getting more disapproving looks and be considered rude otherwise...I mean you can only offend so many people before you start getting a reputation.

    Well, since you know so much about my friend and her weight problem, then you are well aware that she is the size she is because she has a rare disorder that gives her an allergy to phenylalanine causing her to swell up and retain a crazy amount of water while simultaneously slowing her metabolism, right? So it doesn't really matter that even though she runs and bikes miles a day, eats a restricted calorie diet, and lives a healthier lifestyle than the vast majority of people do, she needs to just "lose the weight"? OK Dr. Jackass... How is refraining from using the N-word "tactful"? That isn't really an issue of diplomacy or tact, it seems like an issue of basic human decency. I do take issue with saying "fat" is a minor thing. It is a very visible thing, and no more minor than anyone's physical imperfections. Overweight people are treated as lazy slobs with no self-control in society, and I really do not think this is a minor thing...it really is a whole category of prejudice.

    ^^ What he said ^^ Being PC has a lot to do with having manners. You can say the same thing multiple ways, but usually there is a rude way of going about it and a much more diplomatic way of going about it. For example, there is a very large girl I know, but when I am describing her to people, she has a "dominating figure" accompanied with a gesture that makes the point clear. Yes, she's fat, but she's also a very good friend. Homophobic slurs are unacceptable. Using "gay" in that manner is just wrong. There is nothing wrong with someone being gay, so why attatch negative connotations to the word "gay"? I don't get it and would rather err on the side of NOT hurting someone's feelings and pissing them off by using a word like "weird," "dumb," "strange," or "stupid" in its place. As for the black man saying the N-word...that's his prerogative, and I doubt he will offend many black people using it, but I still disagree with that. Ugly words like that need to die. It is a terrible, hateful word. Yes, some people really need to grow some thicker skin, and that is why I am against all those damned lawsuits over everything because that is just such an extreme and unnecessary overreaction. Those just escalate things. If someone gets offended with something, then just avoid the person and don't spend time with them and let them know they are engaging in boorish behavior. But don't fly off the handle and sue them. Although some people do need to grow thicker skin, others could be a little more sensitive (is it really that hard to not use certain words?) and avoid the issue altogether.

    Which is why Sixty8 posted it... :lol:

    I'm glad it is doing well, but the panel gaps on this thing are horrendous!
  22. Croc replied to mute's post in a topic in The Lounge
    Hi, my name is Croc. I am a 5 feet 9 inches male. I have reddish/blond hair and hazel or green eyes, depending on the day. I enjoy long aimless drives, good food and drink, and relaxing with a close friend or significant other. My favorite foods are naked shredded beef queso burritos, pepperoni pizza, and sushi. Im looking for a 5 foot 4-8 inches female with lots of personality, very affectionate, and very pretty in the LA, CA area. Blonde, Brunette, or Red. Multilinguals and/or ethnics preferable.
  23. Croc replied to Drew Dowdell's post in a topic in The Lounge
    Gaydar is definitely for real, my friend Xiamara is NEVER wrong...kinda scary actually. Mine is pretty good for a hetero I guess...used to be almost nonexistant until I started hanging out with Xixi a lot, and when she'd call it out I just started noticing things. From my life experience, anyone who's observant and a "people watcher" can have good gaydar, you just have to notice things and subconciously classify things and extrapolate trends.

    The one Fly posted still says "But you'll love it for its agility" and that's all it says (and all it ever said) for me... Thanks...I assume its the California coast (looks like it at any rate), it's just some random pic I had on my comp.

    Ah. When I saw it GM must have already fixed it.
