Another thing to take note on is what browser people are using.. I'm using firefox which is less prone to download malicious software (spyware/adware/possible viruses). If you're an IE user.. there's a high chance that you may have some form of the aforementioned that could be slowing down your internet browsing. Try downloading any kind of adware software (Microsoft Defender, Spybot, Adaware, among others) and running a scan on your computer. Also clear your temporary files and cache. Other things I do to speed up my computer is I regularly open up the case and take some canned air and spray out the dust to prevent over heating that can be a cause of slow performance.

That episode is actually pretty old (a few years), where Homer goes to clown school. I love the part at the graduation where they go through different school graduations throwing their hats up in the air... and the (I think this is what they were) German solider school with the metal point on the top of the hat.

I say people have the option to turn them off.. Most (semi modern) computers today and high speed internet connections should have no problem with a page full of animated gifs and high res images.

An acoustic preview of Enclave
Technically, the Lucerne replaced both the LeSabre and Park Avenue... but it's nice to know the age group of buyers is lower than before.

Mario Kart meets GTA Vice City
Of all the Adult Swim shows.. Robot Chicken is my favorite (asside reruns of Family Guy and Futureama). I love this skit especially. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT4UVStQZNU...related&search=

BIRTH ORDER - Where do you fall in?
I'm the oldest with a younger brother who's 20. He's a bit of a geek (Dungeon's and Dragon's, Magic, ect.) but I get along with him pretty well.

NAIAS Preview: 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
mjdecker replied to Variance's post in a topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)My first thought was a cross between an Eclipse and an Avenger... I'm not saying that's a bad thing either. EDIT: I also see cues of the Evo concept too

2007 China SLS
I don't get it.. is it a longer wheelbase? If not, why a different name? Also I thought Buick was the luxury market in China. EDIT: Nevermind http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...showtopic=13316

Production Enclave shots!
Enclave's portholes are a bit different

Production Enclave shots!
From what I can tell...other than smaller wheels.. I can't see ANY difference from the concept. Lacrosse Super looks good too though, all I see is vent ports (similar to the Enclave's) and some sweet (9 spoke?) rims.

NICKNAMES
Well.. most of my friends never call me by my first name 'Mike' and call me 99.9% of the time by my last name 'Decker'. Around 9th or 10th grade.. someone had called me 'Decka' and then it went along as "Yeah Decka" and that stuck for a long time and still kinda is (hence my user name). For a while, I was once called 'Decko' by a teacher and some kids in that class that I really didn't care for started calling me that.. thankfully that passed on by.
