So I got me a Fusion.
I use a Norelco (with 3 rotating heads) on my face, but for shaving my head I like the Mach 3 Turbo.... Will have to try the Fusion.

GM Saving Billions
I wonder where the cost-cutting is.. more efficient processes, eliminating duplicated resources, pressuring suppliers, etc? Hopefully they aren't cutting cost on interior materials (i.e. letting Rubbermaid or Fisher-Price provide the plastics...

Your Dream Garage.. What Would It Consist Of?
Speaking of big garages, between the barn and the two 2 car garages, my parents' place in Ohio has enough room for a Winnebago and 15 cars... for years they had that many there, between their cars, my cars, and my brother's cars..

Concept to Production
AAAAAAGGGGGUUUUHH Now how about 'shoping the Camaro face onto a Cobalt?

07 SEBRING pics - with interior
The Sebring dash looks pretty nice..I like how they put the ignition on the dash (GM did that on a few of the Ws a while back, but seems to have not done it on other cars lately)...defintiely nicer than the tired on-the-column placement, IMHO.. I wonder how the interior plastics will be though, recent Chrysler products have had nasty rock-hard plastics.

I have to laugh at people slagging the Aspen..Chrysler is not the only one sharing an SUV platform across brands... look at the Equinox/Torrent, Trailblazer/Envoy/umpteen other siblings and the Tahoe/Yukon, to name a few...

Flint defends media
Interesting, if you do the maths, not only did Toyota outsell Ford and Chrysler individually, but it outsold them put together..

Hmmm...aren't their GMs today that don't have ABS standard?

Possibly The Worst Psudeonym Ever...
Apparently, his name is Gerald (Jerry) M. Ford. He's doing a signing at Powell's Books in Portland (neat bookstore) on Thursday. It's quite plausable as a real name, after all, we had a President named G. R. Ford...

Your Dream Garage.. What Would It Consist Of?
Now (on my current budget): 3 car garage: My current '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee for daily driver/winter use An E46 BMW M3 coupe (upgrade from my current E36 M3) My '87 Mustang GT 4 years from now, when I'm 40: Same as above, but replace the Jeep with an X5, add 2 more garage spaces for a late '90s NSX and my '69 Mustang Mach 1 (currently in storage in Ohio). My ideal--15 car garage (win the lottery, my current stock options gain value, whatever): Same 5 cars as above, plus: oldies: '70 Mustang Mach 1 '71 Ford LTD convertible '71 Buick Riviera '72 Chevy Impala sport coupe '70 Dodge Challenger R/T late model: Porsche 911 C4S Porsche Boxster S E39 BMW M5 Caddy STS-v '09 Camaro Z-28 or something similar to that...

More cryptic trivia
Hmmm...sounds like maybe the '86-90? FWD Buick LeSabre and Electra, and Olds 88 & 98. Each pair had 2 different 2dr greenhouses, 2 different 4dr greenhouses, but basically the same front clips on each pair (except for grille and some trim).

There's no replacement for...
Correct.. though, I'm pretty sure the E28 M5 was briefly available in the US in '88. The E34 M5 was available here from '91-93. The M3 also works as an answer also--the E30 had a 4cyl, the E36 and E46 had a 6cyl, and the upcoming E90 will have a V8. Wikipedia article on M5

Well, Someone's Finally Done It...
I like the rims on the car in the first pic, but they would look better without all the bolt thingys around the rim. The hideous orange paint would have to go, but otherwise, interesting concept..

Incredible E32 750iL Hi-line on eBay
BMWs are quite common around here also, but it's a rare sight to see an old one in that condition...most 15 yr old luxury sedans are on their 3rd or more owner and look pretty beat...

Incredible E32 750iL Hi-line on eBay
Sweet..I like the older 7s...odd that it's not RHD since the ad says it was sold new in Japan..

2007 Maxima review
Interesting..the grille shape (not the detail) looks like an Acura or Honda shape.

Whatever...it's just trivia to argue over...I think STS now stands for just 'STS'.

Acura TL Type-S is Back
Funny..I know TL and ES owners that are guys in their early 30s..

There's no replacement for...
Hmmm... not sure what that is.. But I can think of a RWD performance model that had a 4cyl in the 1st gen, a 6 in the 2nd and 3rd generations, and soon will have a 4th gen version with a V8. And the logo has 2 colors. (I own one of the 2nd gen ones). There is also another performance model from the same company that went from a 6 in the 1st and 2nd generations, to a V8 in the 3rd generation, to a V10 in the 4th.. The logo blending thing is throwing me off... (the company I'm thinking of has a 3-letter acronym for it's name (associated with yuppiedom) and two colors in it's logo).

-RWD-FWD-RWD-
Details, details.. Yeah, but the Seville had an STS model when it was FWD... and the RWD STS fits in the line in the same place as the FWD Seville did..

-RWD-FWD-RWD-
Nope..Thunderbird never went FWD. The Cougar went FWD but hasn't come back (yet). The Charger has had the most interesting path--started off as a RWD 2dr musclecar coupe, then morphed into a RWD 2dr personal luxury coupe (Cordoba twin), then a crummy FWD hatchback (Omni O24 variant), then returned from the dead as a RWD 4dr...

Sooner or later we're not even allowed baggages...
Ha-ha..clever... I meant a Gulfstream V. Anyway, the new regs are definitely a pain to business travelers the most... my g/f flies usually every other week (mostly Denver to SF and Denver to Chicago) and my sister flies every week (Phoenix to Houston, Phoenix to LA, etc). I'm glad I only fly once a month at most for work (Denver to San Francisco usually). I'm wondering if the regs have changed any in Canada.. I'll be flying to the Yukon (Denver to Calgary and then Calgary to Whitehorse) in Sept and Oct for a week at a time..

I wouldn't recommend it.. If I was a bazillionaire, I would definitely have my own G5 with pilot..

Camaro Officially Official
I assume also they have been doing some development work already on it... since the time of the concept or so...
