Europe's fastest street-legal car is... a 252 MPH Pontiac Trans-Am?!
Now THAT is a Pontiac.

People Suing Good Smaritians for being Good Smaritians?
In FoGs defense, California DOES have a disproportionately large amount of idiots, morons & waste-of-sperm-types living there, & this coming from me, I live in the Socialist state of Taxachusetts.

What's your favorite exercise?
I work the pre-load shift at UPS, so technically I go work out every day for several hours in the wee-hours of the night... anyone making blanket statements about Union workers, as I have in the past truth be told, should work at UPs for a few weeks and they'll be singing a different tune. We hustle like a bunch of rented mules, without the union the Big Brown Bosses would squeeze blood from a rock.

Toyota dumps TRD
Toyota, like most, said F*** you to real enthusiasts when they stopped making affordable RWD. You can not drift FWD, period...& besides no real enthusiast settles for FWD. The Scion lineup and Solara are as exciting as watching paint dry, even the FWD Corolla based Celica is dead.

its a secret that everyone knows
It's fu*&ing time.... heads MUST roll, blood must flow. The only way to fully cure a cancer patient is to CUT the cancer out, seems like the USA has several nasty tumors and they're in need of removal.

"I don't much care for..."
GM4life's post from pg.7 is the best list so far, I would add: - American IDLE + any & all dumb, mindless TV. - People who can not think for themselves - 99.9% of politicians Sadly, the REAL me, not "68p", has not posted on there in months... My two jobs are keeping me busy, esp. UPS, in fact there's nights where I can not allocate sleep, that really sux, I'm a waking Zombie.

So, I still don't get it...
Seriously... what the hell exactly is the silver lining here?

HERITAGE COLLECTION BEING THINNED OUT!
I will kill and or commit any heinous act for the RED DEVIL! Def. one of the top three coolest V-16 Cadillacs of all time. The cream of the crop, the Navy Seal of V-16s...

Do you shorten car names?
In TXT messages and to be funny I'll call XP's "schoolbus" a 'Burban and SP's old Malibu was a 'Bu.... However I do not recognize FWD unibody Malibus as real Malibus, so they are NEITHER TO ME. Corsica 2.0/3.0 or 4.0 J/K (mostly) BTW: the last Monte Carlo was made in 1988 and had a frame, the Lumina-Euro-Coupe 2.0 & 3.0 are just that.... The last Impala was made in 1996.... that FWD thing MIGHT be worthy of the Biscayne moniker at BEST.

Who the dickens?!
Mo-Par or No-Car! Can someone tell me the year?

GM Admits it screwed up
True... but they need to get in line behind Honda, (Element, Ridgeline, new buck-toothed Acuras) Toyota, (FJ-Cruiser, Echo, Pretty much every truck and sedan mdae in the past 8 years... & not to forget the Scion xB, xA.)

Anyone else pissed about the new Honda & Nissan ads?
DF filled ME in jut recently. I had no idea it was a blatant rebadge. I could give a @%% less about any VW that is not air-cooled.

2010 Lexus RX
The Mercedes & BMW are both quite nice IMHO, while the BMW uses the black plastic in a creative & well placed manner that still makes the front fascia look elegant, the Land Rover looks down-right out of date and economy car cheap... the Saab is alright but certainly not a looker, esp. at its price .
-
2010 Lexus RX
The new SRX sux, what with its huge FWD overhang. That being said this Lexus looks like a Chinese knock-off of the last gen. SRX. Terrible.
-
Anyone else pissed about the new Honda & Nissan ads?
On a positive note.... I'm lovin ' the new B-59 Sig. Balthy. How close is yous to done?
-
Anyone else pissed about the new Honda & Nissan ads?
Yup.... if I was to buy a Japanese car Datsun/Nissan/Infiniti would be the most likely of them all, that being said I'm happy to drive my beat to sh!t B-body winter-car turned daily driver and leave my Datsun obsession in the past. Of course if Mazda ever made a modern iteration of a RX-4 in a 2-door hardtop with a tripple-rotary bi-turbo motor and a 6-speed manual trans. I just might turn hypocrite.
-
What is your next car purchase? revisited...
So true. The loss of the INLINE-6 is THE worst thing to happen to the Jeep lineup in three decades, no V6 will ever be better than an INLINE-6 of the same pedigree. EDIT: I'm still waiting for Pontiac and Buick to bring back the inline-8. How cool would that be? (spare me your safety-nazi bull$hit.)
-
Quite possibly the world's worst car?
Still better in EVERY way than a Toyo-DUR Echo.
-
Um, what?
Ummmm.... yeah. Also, like Balthy said: Many a solid abandoned project car or parts car will be crushed. Including '69 Chevelles, '71 Oldsmobiles, '55 Pontiacs, '61 Cadillacs & maye even a '59 Buick or two....

House Republicans throw wrench in the works
I'm a semi-agnostic Atheist, not religious at all (I am however, spiritual) I AM mot certainly a gun-nut and a proponent of the 2nd amendment, which I value over my own life. Wealthy... err.... I work two jobs and still have a hard time affording my basic bills! I am white though, so somehow that makes me in a position of power....? I think not. I can't side entirely with either party, both have MAJOR flaws.
