Cleaning & conditioning leather seats, plus other cleaning questions...
I like Meguiars' products, but I've never used the leather cleaner or conditioner. One thing you might try for the smell is putting baking soda in there and leaving it there. That's what I use in my car and home to get rid of the dog smell. Also, before you clean the carpets, you could sprinkle some baking soda and let it sit on the carpets for an hour or so, and then make sure to vacuum it really well.

CELL PHONES MOBILE DEVICES
I have Verizon and I love it, although there is definitely some nickel & diming going on. Also, the blackberry storm is a great phone. I know several people that have them and love them. I have an LG Voyager which I love, but I think the new version of it is the EnV Touch. Can't tell you much else, but despite some little problems, Verizon has been a solid provider for me since I switched to them.

It's a damn shame too...

Future Buick Names
+1 I think we all said the same thing about the Enclave though, and now it doesn't bother me at all. It really will come down to whether or not they can make great cars to go with these names. Better to have a great car and mediocre name than the other way around.

I noticed that too...

2010 Toyota 4Runner at the Georgian College Autoshow
better than originally thought, but the only thing I really like about it are the wheels...

2010 Mercedes E350 Coupe at the Georgian College Autoshow
Although it has some odd details, I think it is a gorgeous coupe. I think I might like it even more than the A5...

CROSSOVERS*
Agreed...too bad it didn't sell well. Also, I think the Venza is fairly decent looking...besides the ripped of Ford fascia, it is the only thing from Toyota in a very long time to have any amount of style. The interior on the other hand...

Side note and history question
I've only seen one new mustang on the road, and didn't notice sequential turn signals on it, but they freak me out...probably just because the only thing I've ever really seen them on is my work trucks...telling people the get out of my way...ha ha

Poor sleeping habits
In summers past when I worked for the county, I was the same way. I'm naturally a nightowl, but after a few weeks of being at work by 5:30 am and working til 6pm, I got used to being in bed by 8 or 9, and up the next morning around 4:30

KARDASHIANS !
Kim is a gorgeous girl, but like pretty much every other reality tv star, they seem to be a waste of perfectly good oxygen that other people could be breathing.

CROSSOVERS*
That's what I thought about the Q7 as well, but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway. I like pretty much the same lux Suv's too...although I wouldn't pay for an X5. If it were given to me though...

Twitter Anyone?
I feel the exact same way...Flickr too.

GMC Terrain webchats
I really like the Terrain. I think it's refreshing to see a vehicle in this class that isn't all feminine design cues.

CROSSOVERS*
I don't know if the Audi Q7 is a CUV, but it would be #1. otherwise 2. Cadillac SRX 3. Audi Q5 4. Buick Enclave 5. Volvo XC60 I also really like the Jeep Patriot, Equinox, Terrain, future 9-4X and Outlook. I think the Journey is an attractive looking vehicle, but after looking at one on the dealership lot, I would never consider buying one. Like Cubical said though, I'd take a Grand Cherokee over any of them anyday.

Cursive may Disappear
Make that since 2nd grade...that was the only time I've ever been required to use cursive. I have terrible handwriting anyway, and the cursive is much harder to read than my usual chicken scratch. I think it should still be taught, but I have no real use for it...even my signature only contians three letters that are legible(initials)...it would look right at home on a Rx pad...ha ha

Fruit snacks
I love fruitsnacks too! I take them to work for lunch all the time. I usually buy the big boxes of Welch's fruit snacks because they are only $1 more and come with either 24 or 32 packages...I can't remember

Really expensive cars you'd like to own
Audi R8 Every Maserati ever built Land Rover's aren't quite that expensive, but I wouldn't mind one...

Near misses.the curse?
I was driving home Friday afternoon, and was going past a blend in lane. I was getting passed on the left and a semi was trying to blend in and just kept coming even though both lanes were full...I had to slam on the breaks and only missed him by a foot or two. In the process I almost got rear ended by the car behind me. The upside was that the guy passing me got next to him honked and flipped him off...it was pretty funny. He got two more honks and fingers from me and the car that was behind me...

Waterworld
My thought's exactly! Especially since the water park in Denver is called WaterWorld...

PETS/ANIMALS...again
I love dogs, between me and my roommates we have three. I also have fish and birds. I really don't like cats, but I'm also really allergic so that doesn't help. There are a few of them I've been around that I like though...

New Cadillac Ad
A little cheesy, but overall I liked it...

Home state sites to see ... The List
I really hope I didn't suggest all of those places in Wyoming. Most of the towns, listed don't have anything too special other than the fact that there are hotels, and many of the mountain passes and scenic byways end up in them. I suppose Cheyenne has the capitol, Laramie has the university. Green River doesn't have much of anything...but if you like small town charm, you could check out Saratoga, and Thermopolis has (I believe) the worlds largest natural hot springs. Everything else sounds pretty good as long as you like the outdoors. If you were to stop and check out Vedauwoo, you should also check out the Pole Mountain area (they're pretty much the same thing). Ames monument is also near there if you want to see a random pyramid built in the middle of nowhere...

Idea #2
I'm not sure exactly what your needs/wants are in the car, but out of all the suggestions/ideas so far, I would take the Maxx...they reallly are a very nice car for the money...and that extra cargo space is great!
