just good quotes, if political stuff starts, then move it...? "And don't let anybody make you think that God chose America as his divine, messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world." -MLK "A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan." "A right delayed is a right denied. " "All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem. " "Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better. " "At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

i remember i was #1007. 1st 007. lol

i was gonna say 493... Happy birthday, old avatar dude. LOL

i believe i picked some of them up about 2 months ago, the only time they chatter it seems is on a dry windshield, sometimes? they just aren't tall enough to fit nicely on my car's forms that regular height wipers would sit on.

assuming GM wants to keep a pushrod v6 in anything... if not, your idea is in vain.... but anyway.

someone want to recolor the sonic...like sonic, 2 tone tan and blue? lol oh, and either white wall tires, or white wheel arches?

that's for certain....maybe the battery life of the fusion line will surprise people...hopefully.

but as olds has said so many times, intel is just a meany-butt for coercing companies like dell, to not make many amd models. it's been years since i've seen an AMD commercial, but maybe, just maybe that's their tactic, solid, and cheaper, product will get it's own following, instead of having to spend so much on ads. maybe?

but Intel can't "kill" AMD, they use different tactics. every other year intel changes platforms, AMD has only updated it's original from back in, ...2005-6? am2 to am2+ to am3, next is am3+... at some point amd will have to realy revamp, because Fusion isn't going to be on am3+. so AMD can pump out new systems without making consumers buy all new parts. it seems like AMD is targetting servers with thier fusion lines now, either in very low power setups, or stepping up to bulldozer servers. different strokes... and we agree it's all good for us, right?

I agree, but it is good news because AMD's trend has been to beable to do Intel's previous chips competition in their newest lines. phenom < core < Phenom 2 < I5/i7 = or < Bulldozer < new I series...generally.

http://www.fudzilla.com/processors/item/21512-bulldozer-to-come-close-to-core-i7 We have some good news for everyone who would like to see AMD make a big comeback in style. Since the time when Athlon used to be a high-end brand, and by that we mean the good old K8 core, it's been a while since AMD had a high end part capable of competing with Intel on a par. However, initial test scores that slipped to a hands of industry source are suggesting that Bulldozer should come really close to new Core i7 six-core CPUs. Bulldozer has both six and eight cores in the pipeline and they should be launching before the end of Q2 2011, at least that is the current schedule. The performance of Bulldozer should come really close to Core i7, but we don't know if this might be enough to take Intel's high end market dominance. Samples of Bulldozer are out for a while now and the full production should start as soon as this quarter. Sources are suggesting that and yields should be quite good and that the chip is doing just fine in 32nm. One thing is certain, even if Core i7 remains faster, Bulldozer X8 and X6 parts should end up way cheaper. It looks like AMD will finally give Intel a run for its money. --- duh on the last part, that why amd is as much a part of the market as it is.

assuming it's lighter than the cruze by a few 100 lbs? shoudl get a few MPG higher, right?

only thing.. ties would have brought this down to 3 places... oh well. nice choices.

how much weight do you think you've added to the car? people, luggage...

if i buy a laptop in the near future, the Zecate dual core chips look awfully good. anyone else will be tempted by these new chips/platforms? http://www.amd.com/us/aboutamd/newsroom/Pages/newsroom.aspx Low Power APUs Model TDP Core Count Frequency E-Series (former codename: "Zacate") Designed for mainstream notebooks, All-in-Ones, and small form factor desktops E-350 18 W 2 1.6 GHz E-240 18 W 1 1.5 GHz C-Series (former codename: "Ontario") Designed for HD netbooks and other emerging form factors C-50 9 W 2 1.0 GHz C-30 9 W 1 1.2 GHz fanless itx mobo http://www.techpowerup.com/137766/ASUS-Readies-Fully-Loaded-Brazos-Powered-E35MI-I-Deluxe-Motherboard.html sff desktop http://www.techpowerup.com/137664/Zotac-Announces-AMD-Fusion-APU-Powered-ZBox-Mini-PC.html

disappointments -mileage -power for the mileage good news -LNF (tuned for power and mileage?) basics are nothing to scoff about. looks good. iffy - E e-brake. is this becoming common?

how peppy did you think it was?

happy new year, to all and to all...well...a merry auto show season.

maybe the score is from the combined...or avg. cruze's = 30 avg. so it almost made that...? golf's =27.5. they actually got over than in a test. seems to make more sense now, right?

an old ...70's? c-30? pulling a newer than itself flatbed, i think it was. chuggin along the interstate ~65mph...with it's lights off, but pointed skyward. lol

omg. do 2 other people help get that out of there, or just go down the ramp like that... route the exhaust up much higher?

i've hit 37mpg in my car, before, and i can haul 8ft peices of lumber in it too... though, not plywood.

his? i doubt he put them up to it... meaning they are just vigilante's for a common cause. typical thought of vigilante in other circumstances, they are out for justice, but with out the justice system's approval.

happy late birthday!
