    You think that's weird, I've heard "Binny" (Osama) gets kinda lonely in his cave and has special "recruitment" ceremonies for young, nubile, innocent and newly recruited al-Qaeda members that go on into the wee hours of the night.

  4. This still going anywhere?

    Space...ships...
  6. Just let him try. "Some French guy ... versus Wal-Mart Corporation"... Just repeat that out loud a couple times... and you'll see that this won't go anywhere.
  7. That's like asking what the square root of a million is... no one will ever know.
  8. Ghosn's a pretty smart dude. I think he'll probably let it die, but it may be a catalyst for co-operation between Nissan/Renault and GM, and that could help.

    Jesus Mother of Mary! ... I mean Mary Mother of Jesus! There's TWO OF THEM! ... Where do they spawn from?...
  10. What's up with you and writers? First Anne Coulter and now Molly Wood :AH-HA_wink: .

    For mowing down Greenpeace Activists and Sierra Club Hippies! I had no idea they had other uses, but I guess they do! Oh, and I use my truck to haul ass, gear, etc.
  12. Although I now have a laptop, my old computer (still being used every day by family) had one of the first IBM LCD monitors made for home use. It's about 7 years old, and it still works like a charm. I'd go with LCD because it uses less energy, and is reliable if it's from a reputed brand. Go to Cnet because they do reviews on everything electronic, and they always have top tens. Your next TV could be there.

    Har Har. You write for Leno or something?

    Well, you made my life suck. Hope you're happy.
  15. That's kinda like saying you're the healthiest guy in intensive care.
  16. I swear to god if I hear ANOTHER cell phone ring tone with 50 Cents' "Candy Shop," I will kill them, kill him and kill myself.

    At least the current CR-V kinda looked the part as a soft roader. This thing looks like it'll only climb the curb at the Starbucks drive in. This thing looks dopey, it really does, and I hope North American buyers will agree. (...i hope...)

    Gee, I dunno. If it was an SS Supercharged, I'd jump at it. Hell, Even Consumer Reports likes the Cobalt SS Supercharged over the RSX ... But a non SC'd version? Me personally, I'd keep the RSX until I spotted a SS SC. However, no one but you knows the right decision.
  19. The SS monicker USED to be a dollop of jam on an ordinary car. It meant you got bucket seats and chrome on your 327 Impala and Chevy II Nova. However, to many, SS represents the fire breathing Chevelle 454's and 1960's Impala 427's, not to mention the powerful Camaro's of yore. In my opinion, SS should be the dollop of jam; the model that gets you a minor, but notable performance boost, cosmetic body effects, a little more chrome in and out and even leather/suede seats, and I think the Cobalt SS supercharged fits the bill perfectly. I think GM SHOULD create a performance line, maybe even harkening back to the Chevelle 454's... Lets hypothetically say the possible RWD Impala comes out with a 6.0 litre option. Instead of calling it a SS, call it a "366" (or if the world was perfect, a 6.2L would be a "378" ... So it'd be an Impala 366. The imperial units harken back to the days of American muscle and create nostalgia.
  20. I wish... It's the good ol' 4 Speed Hydramatic. As for my not mentioning it... well, no one really asked I guess "I'd like to buy a 'bunny.' What kind of a 'bunny?' A semi auto 'bunny' or a handheld 'bunny?' Whatever 'bunny' is good to shoot a guy in 'da head. "
  21. Captainbooyah 'Jeremy' 1990 GMC Sierra 2500 6.2 Diesel . (Ext. Cab) I'm also saving up for a decent C4 Corvette (my dream car since I was 5) or a new Camaro.
  22. Ok, I gotcha. As for the XLR... I figured it was more oriented towards cruising, so a manual wouldn't sell, but you never know :AH-HA_wink: . Sad thing is I've only seen the same red one around here, but that's it. It looks way better than the Merc's and BMW's IMO. A Manual option on the STS, at least with the V6 sounds pretty awesome, and can only help Caddy's image, even if it's only auto reviewers who use it...

    Baaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm. (Waves gang signs)
  24. Six Speed Auto on EVERYTHING?! C'mon buddy, all the European companies offer sticks with their vehicles and so do some of the Japanese. Cadillac should be no different. There are people out there who are dead set on a standard transmission. Plus, offering the auto as the only option makes Cadillac seem a little 'fogie'd' out

    Well there goes the 'cockpit'. SAAB drivers I know love their buttons, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. This kinda takes away the quirkiness.
