PS: As Mr. dfelt has said...I think the next step for Cadillac is to introduce V Series EVs on the way to world domination.

I gotta go with Casa on this...and yeah...interim engine. Why I think that? 1. Cadillac has to go one on one with AMG...I think Johan is realizing that Cadillac is more of a natural competitor to Mercedes than it is to BMW....this is a GREAT start to finally target AMG... Naturally aspirated. 7.0 liters Racing engine that loves to rev. Hand built. Perfect match to emulate AMG engines... 2. It wont be the first time GM reuses a legendary engine. Buick's turbo V6 in the Grand National and GNX was also used 1 last time in the Turbo Trans Am. History is about to repeat itself. That 7.0 is gonna make another GM model into an instant classic.

You were always a good guy. Except, from time to time, we did not see eye 2 eye. (it rhymes)

Montagnes (just in case you folk dont know what in the hell I am talking about...) Lacs de deux Montagnes. Lake of two Montains... I really know how to suck the fun out of things...dont I?

Nice to see ya here. I was wonderin' when you would make your appearance. About your actually post..."Hopefully we will no longer have to find out." Casa has the idea to invite Wings over... He told me straight out that he was not going to listen to me when I said "NO EFFIN' WAY!!!". So...there is that... I dont care who invites who over...I aint the boss of them...but that is a big ....*SIGH* It turns out...I may have to return to Grade 1...I apparently have reading comprehension problems.... Casa will NOT be inviting Wings over... I repeat....Casa will NOT be inviting Wings over... Sometimes I could be such a dummy... and...what a RELIEF.

DEAR CASA I READ IT WRONG... NO EFFIN' WAY!!! U and I don't always see eye to eye, bought I brought U over.. LOL.. Either way.. I think I will take your advice on this one for once.. Wings is an old "friend," but he would troll the hell out of this place.. and C&G would have their first BANNED member in a long time I think BTW Olds.. can U make your sig pic slightly smaller??? NOTE: just found a new feature by mistake.. If U have to add to what U just posted... U don't have to hit edit apparently.. it just adds it to the post instead of making a totally new post. And Phone optimization is very nice. Love this software I aint the boss of you, dude. I might throw a hissy fit though And I dont think you really care what I have to say about the matter either ..but thanx for the polite answer anyway...I respect you for that. I changed the pic and made it smaller...if anybody still has an issue with the size...please kindly tell me to make it even smaller...I will oblige and comply. PS: But if you do invite Wings over....let me bang HIS head on that brick wall Geez Casa...I READ that WRONG!!! Sorry for the mistake. I read it that you WONT take my advice and that HE WONT troll the hell outta this place because HE is an "OLD" friend of yours... The message is still the same... THANK -YOU for RESPECTING my ADVICE...I RESPECT YOU for THAT... Excuse now, I have to bang MY OWN head on that brick wall...

You learn something new everyday. I did not know that....and thanx Olds Guy...for sharing your knowledge....although we are approaching 9 years since you posted this...and I dont know if you are still around.... I wanted to post a fantastic, memorable Oldsmobile picture as my first contribution to this thread, when I found this picture... I dont know if she truly was restored....but Id like to think that she was... Oldsmobile may be gone...but she keeps marching on... This '69 WILL continue on to spread the joy of Oldsmobile.

yeah...well...it WAS of criminal nature... But Im wonderin' is anybody gonna go to the slammer for this? In 2015 America...scratch that...because its not only corporate America that this disease is apparent...so...in 2015 Earth...are corporate weasels ever gonna be held accountable for their actions?

NO EFFIN' WAY!!! U and I don't always see eye to eye, bought I brought U over.. LOL.. Either way.. I think I will take your advice on this one for once.. Wings is an old "friend," but he would troll the hell out of this place.. and C&G would have their first BANNED member in a long time I think BTW Olds.. can U make your sig pic slightly smaller???

Interesting design elements. I think I like it. That figures. Im always AGAINST the grain when it comes to BMWs. The models that EVERYBODY loves...I hate...and the ones that EVERYBODY feels iffy about..I like. Im not feeling the colour either, but it works. The only thing that Im iffy about is the way the aero front wraps around and lays itself on the hood. I dont like that...the front part is nice...the hood part not so much. Would I be a future BMW CSL Hommage buyer? NOT A CHANCE though. I think Ill stick to the American Pony Cars. Future Camaro ZL-1 or Z/28 Mustang GT350...definitely the Mustang GT350 over the CSL Hommage. I am excited about its performance cred though...

I get that all the time...but it aint because of the music blaring...maybe its because I look like a freak... Oh..BUT I AM a freak... I also like Pitbull With Enrique and J. LO.

Well, Nissan has taken some styling cues from it already. The 3/4 window styling theme... I like that styling theme. Call me nuts, but I like the messed up Maxima. It has all kinds of crazy about it, and I like it.

I thought that this was already decided upon a while ago. Its a shame. I liked the style of this car. Considering Im into American Muscle Cars, I wouldnt mind owning something styled like that. Its very unique and very retro, without actually being based on a previous car...yeah I know...its loosely based on a Nissan 510...its quite the head turner...is alls Im sayin', and I wouldnt mind be seeing driving one. ALSO, I could imagine this being drifted around Tokyo streets...or being the star in a re-boot of the Fast and Furious franchise. Yup...this car has/had the potential to turn the automotive enthusiast crowd on its head....its a shame that Nissan got cold feet. EDIT: I actually read the article carefully the second time around...and maybe a FWD model car might inherit its looks...because for Nissan/Renault...a unique RWD platform just for this vehicle is a tad too expensive to justify the possible low volume of sales... True...how can we argue with that? A possible partnership with another automaker? Who knows...alls I know its a shame...

I dont do rap all that often. Old skool 1980s only. And I dont like Eminem all that much...yet this song here...Ive been known to play it in my car from time to time. However...its not because I appreciate the lyrics...I cant stand the lyrics...but I must admit...Eminem just kicks LiL Kim's ass (yeah I know...Lil' Wayne) when it comes to bustin' the rap... I just love the way the song sounds...I used to pick up the Montreal chicks dancing to this song in the mid-90s in da Montreal clubs. My friends and I would go nuts to this song at least one year before the movie came out. And Eminem's No Love is just a crazy re-mix...I LOVE THE WAY IT SOUNDS!

The band sounds like fun, if you were close by and needed a singer I would absolutely volunteer my services. Not a huge baseball fan, but it can make for some great movies, the two you mention here are definitely a couple of my favorites. Believe it or not...I actually cried once watching... A League of Their Own....at the end... My dad had just passed away...in 2006...and I was watching TV...there was nothing else on TV late at night...and I thought to myself...what a great movie to slowly unwind and eventually fall asleep after a hard night's work...well, the end got to me...I used to go watch the Expos often in the 1980s with my dad...plus...he was a WW2 veteran...the tears just flowed as I made practically the same connections...in a weird and surreal kinda way...

So Babcock just became the 30th coach in the Maple Leaf's history. Who whoulda thunk that? I heard rumours about Babcock leaving Detroit about a month ago...I said 'no way!' Then I heard rumours about Babcock going to Toronto about a week ago...I said...'never again will I listen to stupid sports talk radio with all this crap they feed us!' Well, I am shocked to say the least. But...to quote Johan De Nysschen...its gonna get worse before its gets any better, for the Maple Leafs, even with Babcock at the healms...its gonna take every single second of that 8 year deal for him to actually make something outta that team. Who knows....if he could get all of the team on same page...maybe trade a few of the bad apples...maybe shut the door on the Toronto journalists... The Bruins hired within...Don Sweeney as GM. I dont know about that move...it looks to me as if Cam Neely wants to be surrounded with people that kiss hiss ass. It seems like he wants to create his own boy's club...If I were Claude Julien...Id look for the boy's club mentality, if it is present...and Id get myself the hell outta there... I could be wrong...and Don Sweeney will return to building a Big Bad Bruins Team...but I aint so sure he has the knowledge to do that...yet... Olds, you're always good for a good, long response on just about any topic. I'm not sure about the Babcock move though. I'll always remember him as a Red Wing. He and Datsyuk ate the two main reasons why Detroit is one of my favorite teams. Thanx...for the vote of confidence in my ability to be long winded...but entertaining...of course. Datsyuk is such a freak of nature with his soft hands. He is the best that Ive ever seen. And Ive been watching hockey (and actually remembering and understanding what is going on...) since the early 1980s... Babcock...he is a great coach. He knows how to win. He will be missed in Detroit.

My dad bought himself a 1970 Pontiac GTO In Lemans Blue...I think the paint colour was called. Kinda like this one. Then he bought a 1974 2 door Impala. Dark red with a white vinyl top. It kinda looked like that car above. but their was no 3/4 window at the back...like this one. Then we bought a 2 door coupe 1979 Impala...same dark red as the 1974 Impala.

Nice to have you here, Mr. Sean. As you will see, I am my usual self in this forum. The happy, all over the place poster that has some nice, funny and interesting things to say from time to time. Glad you made it here.

I listen to everything when I drive. Depending on my mood, the weather. The time of day or night. From Disco, to 1990s Euro Dance, to Reggae, to Rock...any Rock. Sometimes Im in the mood for 1950s Rock. Sometimes its psycheledic 60s, sometimes its bubble gum 1960s rock...sometimes its anti-Viet Nam 1960s rock, sometimes its good ole soul, sometimes its the Detroit Sound from the 1960s, sometimes its the 1970s and the 1980s rock. The British Invasion 1960s rock...sometimes its even Surf Music. I even get funky driving to old skool rap from the 1980s and early 1990s. But no Vanilla Ice... Hell...Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sam Cooke and all the fantastic crooners get played in my car too...loud and proud. Pop music and Freestyle from the 1980s is rarely played....but its played...but at a very low volume...shhhhhhhh. Greek Music. Yeah...I sometimes blast Greek music in my car. Other times...the good ol' radio dial is tuned at the the local AM sports station.

Yeah I have always thought this. The Cruze is a borderline premium car when U get down to it. The Corolla, Civic, Focus, and Elantra look low rent IMO. The Cruze and Mazda3 look like they belong in the same segment as a Verano or TSX Ill agree 100% about the Mazda 3. Ill agree 95% with the Cruze...pre-refresh Cruze. I havent seen the refreshed Cruze just yet to have an opinion about it. The first gen. Cruze, especially in LTZ trim, or even in RS trim looks great...even today...when the car is a 7 year old design already. The reason why I knocked off 5%, is because I have an issue with the Bow Tie on the Cruze. Although a gold Bow Tie does not bother me...it does not look good on a Cruze, body coloured or a aluminium finished look Bow Tie would look more luxurious on the Cruze. Uuuum.. make it the color U want... U can get Chevy Emblems in any color.. or make it yourself I did not know they made those. But then again...how silly of me to think that. The aftermarket world is insanely huge. And of course...make one yourself. My 2005 Impala SS' Bow Tie was blue. The irony of that...I did not like it because it was...blue. I would have preferred it to be the gold Bow Tie...you know...all black car...many a time I thought of painting it myself...but in snowy, salty and sandy/tiny tiny rocky (for the ice in winter) road conditions , it would simply chip very quickly and would look worse....so I left it alone.
