Fatal engine knock I believe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY mang HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY OTHER THAN CLOSING WORK COOL

On a side note, I think David Caruso leaving NYPD Blue is what saved the show from ruin.

Nice! That wheel swap was a good choice as well.

I hope your car is not being held hostage by Allied right now in Canada. . .

I think this would be really awesome. I'm sorry if it doesn't fit into the whole scheme.

Because that's relevant. Why not ask how many Monte Carlo owners know where Monte Carlo is? Monte Carlo was just a name. Denali is an obvious metaphor for that the vehicle trim level is. Perhaps I should alter my question to "...what the Denali is". But to your point, I'd say a good deal of people knew in the early days what Monte Carlo is, even if they can't exactly pinpoint it on a map. Monte Carlo was much more promenant in popular culture in the '50s~'80s. I have nothing good to say about post-'88 Monte Carlos, so I'd have to assume their owners don't even know THEIR addresses, let alone where Monte Carlo is. ;-) They only know that #3 Dale Sr. drove it to glory. On that note, let's get in our Delorean and ask people who bought an Eldorado Biarritz what/where Biarritz is. I believe that is equally a metaphor similar to Denali as you put it. Or better yet, "Brougham" since that was an uplevel trim used on many, many different marques. From Wikipedia: In the 1930s, a brougham was a two-door or four-door sedan, especially one electrically driven. The term was also applied to a vehicle similar to a limousine but with an outside seat in front for the chauffeur and an enclosed cabin behind for the passengers. The name derives from the light, fashionable brougham carriage of the nineteenth century. Cadillac first used the name on their Cadillac Brougham in 1916, and on their top models throughout the 20th century. Over the years, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, Pontiac, American Motors, Mercury Lincoln, Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge have also used the Brougham name to differentiate the more comfortably-appointed versions of a given model; Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham, Pontiac Parisienne Brougham, Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Brougham, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham, Chrysler New Yorker Brougham, Plymouth Valiant Brougham, and Dodge Monaco Brougham have all been produced. American Motors' top line Ambassador was marketed as the Brougham in 1971-74. Ford used the Brougham name on its 1970s-era LTD and Torino lines as well as the Mercury Marquis. Also I do know that Daewoo had a Brougham model as well.

Find me his address. I'm too lazy to google stalk him, but not so lazy I wouldn't write. I'll do it, I don't care. GM P.O. Box 33170 Detroit, MI 48232-5170

Diesel is needed in Europe and I think Croc should write CEO Akerson with the exact question he just asked about the XLR. Akerson would appreciate it.

So lets give the aging baby boomers a car that can compete with the Avalon and Lexus.

May I suggest http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=31

I'm hoping this means you took more than one photo?

The way the shifter is set up on these things reminds me of the integration of automatic transmission shifters on Crown Coaches (School Buses) Go look at the photo -- 1989 Crown Supercoach with Automatic Transmission Interior

Awesome

Just used your post as a launching pad to post those two articles I read today and found interesting. I agree with everything you said about no price.

Wonderful. But it still remains that what's widely in use is this inferior, delicate form of the technology. Also, I wouldn't quite believe everything coming out of China. As someone who was involved in some high speed rail research for use in California, it turns out that a lot of what they put out in press releases is...let's just say wildly optimistic at best. If the technology exists and is ready to address all of these issues/shortcomings, then why isn't it being implemented? Why no retrofits? You can't put a price on the safety and wellbeing of hundreds of thousands of people, nor can you on environmental devastation. Yes you can put a price on this. Apparently Power Plants do this all the time. Report: U.S. nuke plant problems ignored, including in Vt.

Every day that goes by, I mull purchasing a new Camaro SS manual.

Agreed on the two-prong strategy. But I have this odd idea that the brand that would get canned would be Cadillac and not Buick. It is funny you say this, because somebody I know who works in the industry would be in agreement with you. I don't know how right he is though.

agree. i prefer the vue too. equinox has a bit more space in the Nox........maybe there will be a nice used Captiva someday in my future.... The moment I saw this article I thought. . . Reg would likely pick up a used one of these.

Although Z28, one could argue that Porsche is starting to chase volume with the cars it is putting out now. In fact, they are selling more cars than Suzuki and Mitsubishi in the United States.

I saw an Escalade hearse today. Speaking of strange hearses.

I think he is talking about a parking/emergency hand brake. Around that area, I see missing trim pieces as well.

Greetings and welcome! Jump on in, there is lots to talk about right now.
