  2. my passport has proved to be a fine tool for proving my citizenship, so no. Well, that and I'm a Canadian, so I wouldn't let the US government do anything to my body
  3. Between CANIVORE/whatever is being used now, allowable warrant less searches that were revealed in the last year or soand all abuses of patriot act provisions for info gathering that were recently uncovered, you don't think you're government hasn't done/is doing something similar for years and years? Hell, I think my government does it, and they aren't anyhere as security/terrorist hungry as yours is.
  4. so because there are a couple of lines about alternatives to biofuels, ie fuel economy, the rest of the article regarding ethonal, pros, cons et all is useless propaganda? For what it is, an article for the masses, I found it pretty informative regarding the pro's & con's of ethonal (higher steak prices being a HUGE con for me haha).
  5. f@#k the unions. I'd rather see them all die out than spread anywhere else, even to GM's biggest competitor. in at least one sense, I think the UAW gettin into Toyota would be bad for GM because not only would it make the UAW more powerful, it would make them more arrogant as well.
  6. sounds like Genesis will just be a new top level RWD car, not an entire brand even though it looks like a sleek Cmary, I like the looks of it in the sketch

    point to you sir
  10. I think talking on a cell while driving distracts everyone, though how much of a distraction it is varies from driver to driver. For some people, they might be good enough multitaskers that it won't effect them enough for them to even notice that they are distracted, but it does, if ever so slightly For a good driver, 99.9% of the time, talking of the phone wont' cause any problem, but that 0.1% of the time, that might never happen, when some freak occurrence happens and a split second will make the difference between nothing happening and a crash, that cell phone in your hand WILL make a difference.
  11. maybe, though I hope our lawmakers have a bit more sense, but I doubt it. who knows, you might not even me allowed to even listen to music in your car. cause i've seen people singing along quite vigorously, so music in and of its self could be a distraction they'd ban. Then there's talking with passengers, or even worse, KIDS.
  12. http://www6.autonet.ca/Laws/story.cfm?stor...3569257-ap.html bans starst with cellphones and then more and more will be banned.
  13. I actually saw something Michigan I liked for once, MINIMUM speed limits and the highways.
  14. i only do it very rarely, and only when i have too. no long winded convo's, just wham bam thank you ma'am. get/give the info required and hang up. What I love is when people who are on cellphones do something stupid, then I honk or otherwise show my appreciation and then they look at me like I did something wrong
  15. wish they would bought into it when the still owned MV Agusta
  16. personally, I like the look and the idea, but like others have said, I dont' think its the right time, or even the right brand. Something like that, though a lot more refined I bet might make for a good baby Maybach
  17. I think I'll wait a couple more months of sales increases before telling any competitions to shut any bodily oriface

    love the engineering. the look is meh. depends on the view. like the front on & profile, the rear 3/4 isn't great and the back is ugh
  19. ya, I really can't see the union giving up money now for potential money later seeing as there might not be a later for Brampton and Chrysler

    but why'd you want it?

    Cheersandgears.com is worth $31,992 according to http://www.dnscoop.com/ or for you gear heads, a CTS with the option audio system and split folding rear seats
  23. handles winter testing in Scandinavia just fine, then gets owned by a little water. seriously though, who takes a million car, I don't care if it has AWD and where its been tested, out in the f@#kin rain? I'd so love to see the insurance claim on that one
  24. Dragon replied to BrewSwillis's post in a topic in Chrysler
    def better in pics. but it doesn't look a good on the street. tail is nice, but I don't like the body line "bump" in fron of the rear wheels lke the charger. Those only look good/appropriate on RWD IMO. Something about the front just isn't right
