The Cimm changed the game for the worse.

Chuck Norris for President of Texas

It's a car! And a red one at that.

Reatta last Riviera last Park Avenue new LaCrosse Maybe I couldn't really see myself in the last two, but I think they are great lookers.

I sat in one at the auto show last friday. It was quite comfortable. I also think the A&S styling becomes it (in fact, it's my favorite production A&S design behind the CTS). I wouldn't mind driving one at all; a soft, cushy ride would be a welcome break from my harsh Sunfire.

Sunfire Well it's essential for me, it's what get's me around every day.

Detroit Electric Brougham

"The Cimarron was initially planned on a Buick X-chassis, but was later swapped to a J-chassis because the President of General Motors, Pete Estes, felt that this car should have the latest technology." (sauce) I was not aware the J platform had any technology. It should've at least moved to N when that came out. Not that it was a great platform either, but it would've allowed more interior and exterior differentiation.

Well little compared to the Magnum it succeeded. I don't know it's actual dimensions. Haven't seen one up close.

Went to the Cleveland Auto Show today, so saw most of the new models making the show route. The one that really stuck out like a sore thumb was a black SRX that had been chopped into a sedan. WHY would anyone want that?

Way too far in my future to tell. We have five cars, so those should get us by for the forseeable future.

If it would be feasable, could we have a chat room that could be logged into from an external client? I never seem to have any luck with in-browser chat rooms. I'd be willing to buy a subscription for that.

Black Volkswagen CC. Quite the attractive car they've penned in that.

I like it a little more now that I can see it other than in those dumb black and white promo pics.

Unquestionably.

Love it love it love it.

Saw the grey Dodge Mirada again. Neat little car.

Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving 44, 1, 25, 33 The nature of Crafters is most clearly seen in their masterful operation of tools, equipment, machines, and instruments of all kinds. Most us use tools in some capacity, of course, but Crafters (as much as ten percent of the population) are the true masters of tool work, with an innate ability to command tools and to become expert at all the crafts requiring tool skills. Even from an early age they are drawn to tools as to a magnet-tools fall into their hands demanding use, and they must work with them. Like all the Artisans, Crafters are people who love action, and who know instinctively that their activities are more enjoyable, and more effective, if done impulsively, spontaneously, subject to no schedules or standards but their own. In a sense, Crafters do not work with their tools, but play with them when the urge strikes them. Crafters also seek fun and games on impulse, looking for any opportunity, and just because they feel like it, to play with their various toys: cars, motorcycles, boats, dune-buggies, hunting rifles, fishing tackle, scuba gear, and on and on. They thrive on excitement, particularly the rush of speed-racing, water-skiing, surfing. And Crafters are fearless in their play, exposing themselves to danger again and again, even despite frequent injury. Of all the types, Crafters are most likely to be risk takers, pitting themselves, or their technique, against chance or odds. Crafters are hard to get to know. Perhaps this is because they tend to communicate through action, and show little interest in developing language skills. Their lack of expressiveness can isolate them at school and on the job, and even though they hang around with their own kind in play, they let their actions speak for them, and their actual conversation is sparse and brief. Crafters can be wonderfully generous and loyal to their friends, teammates, and sidekicks, often giving up their evenings or weekends to help with building projects or mechanical repairs-house remodeling, for example, or working on cars or boats. On the other hand, they can be fiercely insubordinate to those in authority, seeing rules and regulations as unnecessarily confining. Crafters will not usually go against regulations openly, but will simply ignore them. More than anything, Crafters want to be free to do their own thing, and they are proud of their ability to do it with an artist's skill. Bruce Lee, Michael Jordan, Woody Allen, Alan Shepard, Chuck Yaeger, Michael Douglas, Lance Armstrong, and Kathrine Hephurn are examples of Crafter Artisans. I guess it's somewhat accurate except for the first paragraph. I am not skilled with tools.

Happy Birthday!

Chicken pot pie. Cherry, apple, Oreo creme, pumpkin, chocolate creme... I love pie!

I forget. I'm sure that says something about me.

Yay for 1950's Citroen technology. I honestly don't care which wheels drive my luxury car, as long as it's good looking and luxurious. If it's got vertical taillights and a great looking, comfortable interior, it's Cadillac enough for me. Don't give a damn what the rest of the market values it as.

As far as I could tell, still had all its lights & livery.

Looks like the donor car is a TL. I like it though. It's menacing. But I'd bet if there's another Impala it'll be on LWB Epsillon II. And I'm okay with that. (If it looks cool.)

Last generation Caprice police cruiser. Becoming a rare sight nowadays.
