So no matter what you're not giving them any incentive to build a new car that you would like. Not that I know how you COULD...

The Firebird was shorter (vertically) than the Volt and Prius, giving it less frontal area to create resistance. This is the biggest factor i can think of. Of course this is to the great detriment to interior space and passenger room. The Firebird's nose may be flat but it is still lower and thinner than all the other cars'. Judging just by looks, though, I'd say the Volt looks more like a brick, at least in profile. The Prius at least has that nice fastback. Edit: Just did some quick research, found a something on http://fbodyreport.com/wiki/Firebird_1982: .32. That's the same as the Scion xB. The Volt concept had a Cd of .42, and I never liked it anyway. The F430 has a Cd of .34 (probably from those enormous intakes) The Prius has a Cd of .26 The production Volt will probably be down around Prius-land. So the Firebird was really aerodynamically unextraordinary by today's standards.

Ham, unless in a sandwich. Brussels sprouts Lima beans (does ANYONE actually LIKE lima beans?)

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Not contributing anything more important than my personal tastes and opinions.

I just had a thought. Wouldn't it be ironic if other countries provided the Big 3 with bailout money?

I've seen a few Malibus Maxx SS around. I wish my mom had got one of those instead of the HHR.

Pat Metheny Group - Last Train Home The jazz DJ on our local NPR station used to play this song at the end of his friday night show. I've been trying to figure out what it was for a long time. Just found it while ripping some records.

That's scary man. Glad y'all are all right.

I like winter, and I don't mind driving in the somw much until I almost crash. I was driving to school the other day and came to a red light at an intersection that goes downhill. Of course I didn't brake early enough and was headed straight for a TrailBlazer, so I swerved to the right, went over the curb, narrowly missed a phone pole, and ended up on the sidewalk/grass. Fortunately no cars were damaged.

Anime. I used to watch Toonami every day when it first started, then we had to get rid of our cable TV for years and I haven't been able to watche any anime since. It makes me very uncomfortable.

Happy Birfday!

We have alternated over the years. We bought a fake pre-lit tree a couple years ago, but half the strands don't work on it now so we picked out a real one this year. I prefer real ones.

I watch college basketball, but only because I'm in the YSU pep band.

Happy Birthday!

There needs to be a new trans-am series for real cars that are RWD in real life, like Camaros and Stangs and Challengers. Let's see Toyota try and compete in that.

There's also the lolcat bible. I'm not sure about those other two though. The Green Bible makes sense, but I think trying to make the Word more "accessable" by secularizing kinda brings it down.

Oh hey, thanks folks! Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy it much... got to freeze my fingers off putting up advertizing posters for my job at 11 at night... but I'll have a nice party once finals are over.

I use TouYube mostly for music and funnies. So here's some of my favorite music videos.

Driving to school today I was briefly part of an L-body trio, with a Beretta and another Corsica in front of me.

'86 Fox body Mercury Marquis I don't get to see cool cars.

I prefer the facelifted models of '90 and later (when the Riv recieved its sloping tail and the Toro got bigger, less boxy body panels.)
