Trailblazer and Envoy not quite dead yet
The Lambdas should be of the pedestrian people mover variety, while the Trailblazer/Envoy should be of the tow-haulin off-roading variety. Plain and simple. They would compete with the Highlander and 4-Runner, respectively, along with other vehicles.

All Knowledgable People.. I Ask You...
Forget what these other guys say. It's a Caution Box. It makes sure your engine is running cautiously. If you were to remove this box, your engine could explode from lack of caution. At the same time, it could be working too well and causing the engine to stall due to overcautiousness. That might be the problem. Replace the Caution Box, but do so with caution.

Chris Benoit and family found dead in Alanta home
Absolute tragedy. I still question the motive. Were all deaths premeditated? By the way, for those who don't follow wrestling, two weeks prior to this event, CEO Vince McMahon's character on the show was blown up in a limousine. The ongoing story arc up until last night was, various players were grieving the death of Mr. McMahon, and federal investigators were involved, etc. So now, the suspension of disbelief is thrown all out of whack.

Pizza Crust
Fixed that for you (not a fan of "think" crusts myself), and I'm in the same boat.

Chris Benoit and family found dead in Alanta home
What a mess. Benoit was all about respect. This is a sick way for him to go out.

Toyota slows delevopment process to preserve reputation
This article suggests to me that Toyota may have learned from the mistakes of old school GM.

Review: 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
It's admittedly sharp from this particular angle. Note the in-bumper exhaust pipes. This would be one of the first mainstream vehicles to install the exhaust in this fashion, with the metal flush to the plastic of the bumper. *Looks closer* ...Are those reflectors!? Lame.

iPhone
It's fairly common to see banner ads of the "[finsh the ridiculously easy mini game] and receive a free [gadget of the month]!" variety. Unfortunately, as long as people keep clicking them, they will never go away.

iPhone
RAZRs, especially compared to the iPhone, are easily attainable. I'm thinking about getting a SLVR, myself.

Terrible fleet numbers for GM, Ford, DCX
They're probably buying on price. Or maybe GM dealers are more fleet-friendly.

iPhone
That's the first I've heard of a Google phone. Wouldn't that be the first physical product they've ever made?

Summer Car Spotting!
Made my road trip today. Saw the following: Altima Coupe Durango MCE (I think) GMC Typhoon Not 30 minutes after spotting the Typhoon I've ever seen in my life, a lime green Lamborghini Murcielago with black rims and blacked out tail lamps drove past, followed immediately by a charcoal grey Lamborghini Gallardo. I was able to keep up long enough to admire both vehicles, and roll down my window to listen to the engines.

Anybody Play Freelancer PC Game?
Is that the game that's like Privateer online? If so, I'll have to check it out.

Fly's Great LeSabre Cruise '07
Sweet, on a Saturday and everything. If I were making my cross-state trip to the Island (or back), I would defintely try to work something out. Unfortunately, I'm not travelling that weekend, and I'm currently on a tight budget.

Do you hold back?
Now now, it only smells during certain seasons... Such as any time the temperature gets above 70.

Cars & Guitars
I love that they used the body for both a guitar and a bass. Although, I sense those would be very uncomfortable to play. Any Mustangs down there? Nothing seems to fit the rock image quite like your typical Mustang.

Had my first surgery today...
So they removed the growth? Any sign of cancer? Feel better, man. Hey, at least you don't have to deal with students for a couple of months. Unless you drew the short straw for summer school classes...

Senators reach agreement on fuel economy
This is dangerous. We would end up having to pay drastically more money for all physical goods and services despite the reimbursement. Too many prices are rooted to the price of oil. The only way this could possibly work is if shipping companies, agricultural workers, and manufacturers were exempt from the gas tax. (note to self: UPS is not the only company in America that ships products )

Drove a new Camry yesterday with 2551 miles on it - what a surprise!
That's 2-1/2* more rattles than my 17,000+ mile Cobalt. *Stuff in the glove box tends to rattle against either each other or the glove box walls.

Do you hold back?
My personality is quite a diverse pallette. I will act differently depending on my company. Sometimes, I forget to. I, unfortunately, share a trait with my mother in that I often do not know when to shut my mouth.

New Silverado Commercial
Do they normally call it a "rear locker"? I don't even know what the hell they're talking about.

If the Aura is so much better, why is GM playing games?
The business calls this sort of tactic "marketing". Of course, if you don't agree with their stats, you can always go to the Saturn dealership and test drive the three cars on the spot. And if that's not convincing, you can go to the Toyota and Honda dealerships and test drive the cars there. In fact, that might be easier because you stand less a chance of having to wait in line. Camry and Accord customers are too busy signing contracts to test drive cars. (had to say it )

The last Monte Carlo was made today
Lumnia, eh? Typos aside, it would be more of an Impala coupe for this generation. That's exactly the problem with the Monte Carlo. It looks like all the boring sedans currently on the road, except with two doors. There's nothing visually appealing about it, and the lack of two extra doors hampers its utility. What assets remain, then?
