It depends- I will drive from LA to Phoenix, since I would need a car anyway, but I might not to SF, since parking is such an issue there. I wouldn't drive to Chicago or NYC, unless I won the lotto and could take a leisurely trip. The one week I'd be allowed to take off from work I'd rather spend at the destination than on the road. But I think nothing of driving to San Diego, for instance.

Interesting that the XLR's overall length is listed as being shorter than it's wheelbase. Perhaps that accounts for the cramped interior.

Ugly building that went up across the street from me The mall I worked in before I got the job downtown The building our offices used to be in Little Tokyo, where I have lunch every other day Grand Central Market, where I usually have lunch when I don't eat in Little Tokyo

Convertible, please.

I agree with SixtyEight. I think it's a mis-step to try to be all things to all people. Look how well it's worked for Mercedes. They may be sellign more cars, but they have lost something important in the process. They used to be looked at as perfect, now they're jsut another car company. By all means bring on a smaller Caddy, but it better be RWD and really nice or they are going to be shredded by the motoring press like last months Visa bill.

The President, Senate and Congress (Republican and Democatically controlled versions alike) could put the pressure on the Japanese to quit keeping the yen artificially low.

The profits go back to Japan, no matter how many American flags they wave.

I believe that's a deVille. The Eldorado had a wide chrome band ringing the fuselage, not the chrome rubstrip..

People who think they are great drivers are usually the absolute worst. AR2005, what colleges are you considering? Because one of the best ones for car design is right here in Pasadena

they aren't grabbing me, but of the two, "Crest" is the better one

I just came from it- it was really funny. Way better than "Snakes on a Plane", which I also saw today.

That suck so hard- sorry to read that. But really, call your insurance agent now, and get that police report in.

Apparently that truck drove slooooooooooowly down the street when Chrysler was making the announcement that the Challenger would be produced. Can you say "Upstaged?"

I vote for mid-70's Chevelle/Malibu/El Camino 4 door: Chevelle/ Malibu Collonade sedan and Malibu/Laguna Estate Wagon 2 door: Malibu Collonade and el Camino no greenhouses interchangeable and as hudson pointed out, El Camino and the wagon shared rear bumpers (with the lights in them), as did the Malibu coupe and sedan

Fine, back to the car- what is that thing made of? The plastic on the inside of the door fared better than the bleeding door did?!? I think you'd have a better chance just running into that barrier at 35 mph...

You people don't really listen to NPR do you? Because unless there was some liberal coding that I missed, the story of growing up autistic I listened to on my way into work and the story about why porch ceilings are painted blue on the ride home seem pretty middle-of-the-road. Of course, we all know that "Good Food" is a call to boil fetuses in a stew and "Metropolis" is designed to turn y'all into homos. So clever of you to avoid it.

Not buying it. Either way, I am sensing a brace of really miniscule penises there....

They even liked the manual top:

You need to get over the liberal yuppie urbanite bull$hit. It's really wearing thin.

"Christine" (red '58 "Fury"- they were mostly Bevederes- coupe) and "Duel" (red '70 Valiant sedan)?

Yes, what a scumbag. Owning two houses- he should be living in a Yurt! Call me when he's sending the maid out for Hillbilly Heroin....

I don't see why everybody's crawling all over Sixty-8 for this. While I might not have left a note, I certainly would have thought about it. I mean, I like my Civic, but I certainly wouldn't park it in a sea of classics and hot rods as if it had a right to be there. If it were a pristine, cherry '77 then it might have a place there. A stock 2004 doesn't, and my '93 doesn't either. Now if you want to get on him for the "Park you car", that's fair game. People who lecture on etiquette should be able to spell...

I give. What is it?

This "I'm so much more caring about the planet than you" crap is the stuff that bugs me. It really should read "I'm raping the environment incrementally less than you"

I was living here at the time of the whole thing. Despite having dedicated parking spots where you could park for free in areas of town (including primo parking on trendy Robertson Blvd and Montana Ave), there weren't that many takers for a lease on a car that could only go for a hundred miles or so without being recharged, especially at the price of that lease. Yes, the people who had the cars loved them, but when the CARB people resinded the need for the program, GM cut thier losses. Of course they took the cars back, if they didn't they'd have to support them or be open to a nice lawsuit down the road. I know that people want to make conspiracies because sometimes the truth is not that pretty, but the Mafia didn't kill JFK, the twin towers really didn't fall because of controlled demolition, and if there was a way for GM to have made money off electric cars, they wouldn't have flushed a billion dollar investment. The truth is, people in tree-hugging Cali wanted to spend that lease money on a Denali.
