The Future of GMC
at first i was against a GMC minivan, but I've changed my mind. The last 2 companies have bought minivans instead of panel vans because they use it to move both equipment (whith the seats removed) or people (with all the seating in). So there is definitely a “professional” market out there for it. I've seen what smallish families can do to a minivan. I have no doubt some families NEED a professional grade minivan too.

GM pulls Survivor Sponsorship
by TOM KRISHER -- Associated Press posted August 31, 2006 DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. has decided to end its sponsorship of CBS' hit series "Survivor," but the world's largest automaker said Wednesday that the decision had nothing to do with the reality show's controversial decision to divide its contestants in the upcoming season by race and ethnicity. GM spokeswoman Ryndee S. Carney said the company made the decision in the normal course of making its media buys months ago, before the show made its recent announcement. "I think it's just a coincidence. I know it's not cause and effect," Carney said. A group of New York City officials have criticized the new format, saying it promotes divisiveness. They have asked CBS to reconsider its plans. "How could anybody be so desperate for ratings?" City Councilman John Liu asked last week. Show creator Mark Burnett said Tuesday that many of those criticizing the new approach haven't ever seen the show and don't understand how it works. "By putting people in tribes, they clearly have to get rid of people of their own ethnicity," he told The Associated Press during a conference call. "So it's not racial at all." For the first portion of the 13th edition of "Survivor," which premieres Sept. 14, the contestants competing for the $1 million prize while stranded on the Cook Islands in the South Pacific will be divided into four teams -- blacks, Asians, Hispanics and whites. GM, which has sponsored "Survivor" since it premiered in May 2000 and was the show's exclusive automotive sponsor, is shifting some of its media dollars from prime-time television to more live sports, awards shows and other big events, Carney said. The Detroit-based company also decided that its media strategy should feature cars and trucks integrated into shows, which was difficult on "Survivor," she said. Although one episode did feature a Pontiac Aztek, the opportunities for cars and trucks on the show were few, Carney said. "There's a limited number of possibilities as to how you can integrate a car or truck in a show that people spend their whole time on an island," she said. CBS spokesman Chris Ender said GM notified the network of its decision long before the new "Survivor" format was announced. He said the company had no knowledge of the competition by race. "They informed us several months ago that they wouldn't be part of the upcoming season. It's unrelated to the controversy surrounding the upcoming edition," Ender said. CBS Entertainment, which is part of New York-based CBS Corp., will stick with the format despite the criticism, he said. Ender would not say if any other sponsors had left the show or if CBS had a replacement for GM. CBS Entertainment, which is part of New York-based CBS Corp., has defended the ethnic twist, saying it follows the show's tradition of introducing new creative elements and casting structures that reflect cultural and social issues. Like GM, other advertisers will move more toward integrating their products into shows as more viewers use technology such as digital video recorders to avoid watching commercials, said Robert Thompson, professor of television and popular culture at Syracuse University. "Advertising is going to have to go back to the early days of television when you had products integrated into the shows themselves," he said. While he doesn't expect it to happen within five years, the single-spot commercial might eventually disappear, Thompson added.

I don’t see a problem with being cooperative, but I wouldn’t be trusting. Get another independent lab to do another test. For all you know, the girls cousin could work at the DNA lab and could fix the results

GMC minivan??
Just because somebiody else does it, doesn’t make it right. I don’t know what its like elsewhere, but I hardly see any Chrysler minoivans on the road. Pretty much all the DCX minivans I see on the road are Dodges, so I really don’t see a point in a buick version

I sure as hell hope not. It seems pretty short to be a useful minivan

You know the situation better than us, but I wouldn’t trust them to do the test. I’d have them send some DNA over here and shell out for my own test.

fake money
I was at a J-Body Bash in Ohio a couple of years ago and some douche broke into my car and took my daytimer, which had C-Tire money and my personal cheques in it. The cops found it in a dumpster a couple of days later. Seems the thief decided to take the Crappy Tire money, but leave the cheques. Woulda LOVED to see the look on his face when he tried to exchange it

Who are these simpsons you talk of? We haven't got cable at our igloo’s yet. (only 2 more years, woohoo!)- fake money
All the time. we get fake money whenever we buy stuff at Canadian Tire. Its so popular, I’ve seen other stores take it on par.- OH #@(%
Sounds fishy to me too. This is the second story I’ve heard this summer about a guy from TO who went to Asia and got a call months later saying the chick they hooked up with is pregnant, but “doesn’t want any help”. Any money somewhere down the road, she changes her mind and wants help, of the financial and immigration variety. If you do decide to do something, make sure it is yours first. And just for reference, condoms don’t always work and just because you can’t see a rip, doesn’t mean there isn’t one.- Who Would You Rather Listen To?
Neither. But if you held a gun to my crotch, I’d have to pick Nickelback and Default because it may be crap, but at least its Canadian crap.- Autoweek: More CTS variants coming
Since they are based off the same platform, wouldn’t a CTS based crossover just be an SRX? - The Simpsons!!
