Firefox must be saving me right now. I haven't experienced a single pop-up yet.

If I remember correctly, you got your Millenia for well under $2k. Considering the shape it's in, it sounds like you might be able to make a few bucks selling it. If it means anything, Milennias with 180k miles and more are going for damn close to $4k around here. Just a thought.

I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the Silverado/Sierra pair. The LT's dash looks like something out 1997, and the front-fascia is just plain ugly. Perhaps the GMT-900s thus far have given me too much hope for this truck. Oh well. I'll take an F-150. :wink:

Notice the hood cut-line. It looks very Porsche/'07 G35-esque. Interesting.

Nice! Enjoy it V. My new phone arrived yesterday and I'm loving it. It's always fun having a new toy for the first week or so. Mine's a Boost Mobile i875: Anyway, hope it lasts you a long time. It's definitely more exclusive than the RAZR (which everyone and their grandmother seems to have).

Mercury Grand Marquis/Ford Crown Victoria. In my opinion, going 30 mph in the left lane of an interstate is every bit as dangerous as speeding. Especially since most GM/CV drivers are on life-support as it is and rarely know what's going on around them.

UPS Package Tracking is pretty good. As of this morning: BRONX, NY, US.....07/27/2006.....8:33 A.M.......OUT FOR DELIVERY

I'm getting a new cell phone. Early yesterday I won the eBay auction I've been bugging you guys about. The phone in question is a Boost Mobile i875. It has features that I'll probably never use like Bluetooth® and GPS, and features I've grown to love like nationwide walkie-talkie (I really can't live without my bleep). Plus it plays MP3s. Thanks to eBay, I got the phone for half of what it retails for. It's brand-new in the original packaging and even comes with a free car-charger. I'm psyched. More importantly, it's replacing my old i850 which is beat to $h!. My current phone has quite a few miles (or minutes) under it's belt, and the antenna broke off last week. It was time for a change. Luckily, the seller is located in Brooklyn, so delivery will be quick. UPS.com has it listed as in transit and on time and set for arrival tommorow. I tend to keep my phones for long periods of time, so it'll be around for a while if all goes well.

Yes, they also ordered the bumper that goes with the "ground effects" kit. Why do I feel like a stalker?

If I'm not mistaken, his body shop ordered a trunk with holes for a spoiler after his accident. Instead of exchanging it, I think they gave him a free spoiler.

Are you sure that wasn't the current Commodore to begin with? Looks awfully similar to THIS. Nice job nonetheless.

Time to substitute your signature pic.

I don't understand the hostility towards collar-popping around here.

They're releasing a Caliber sedan?

The current model is far-less derivative. This is change for the sake of change really. Nothing gained.

Someone in my neighborhood owns an old 1970 Challenger, so it's really nothing I haven't seen.

What about the rumoured Pontiac sedan?

Just wait until you see an Aura on the road. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Trust me on this.

The good news is that the Aura looks far better in person than it does in any GM-released image. The bad news is that the wood trim is terribly unconvincing in person and has a plasticky, high-gloss finish. The fact that there's so much of it is the interior's biggest flaw. According to Saturn, the wood trim will ONLY be available on XR models with black interiors. Why it was featured with the Morocco Brown Leather upon debut is beyond me.

I can't wait to see pictures of an interior with aluminum trim in place of that awful plood.

If these are real, something is terribly wrong at Pontiac and GM. Garbage.

Here's my dilemma. I REALLY want this item now. I'm ready to make my offer, but this auction may turn out to be more expensive than I'd planned. While the item is priced right, shipping is $24.99 plus required $4.99 insurance, and the seller charges 8.375% sales tax. To make matters worse, the item is within pick-up distance from me. It's a shame shipping is non-negotiable here. At the same time, there's another auction with 1 day and 11 hours left that's at a really low price at this point. Is it worth waiting for something that will most likely sky-rocket at the last minute of the auction anyway? So I can: A. Make a low offer on this and hope it's accepted. B. Wait 1 day and 11 hours (I really don't want to wait) and bid at the end of another auction and hope the price doesn't sky-rocket between now and then. ADVICE PLEASE.

Aura hits the pages of Motor Trend -------------------- Part of Saturn's "Like Always. Like Never Before" ad campaign, the three-page spread features a Golden Cashmere Aura XR. The Sky and VUE Green Line are also featured, though it's safe to say Saturn's midsizer steals the spotlight. The ad elaborates on the theme that commenced with Saturn's latest T.V. commercials, and more importantly, it proves that GM's initial press-photography failed to capture the Aura's essense. Judge for yourself. Our Take: Look closely, that's the car some have dismissed as a Sebring knockoff. As seen on page 15 of this month's MT:

I'm just north of NYC and rarely see a Lucerne. I've probably seen two or three since they've been on sale.
