Very appealing and also unique...a great color for this car...too bad there was no blue interior to go with it...

White is usually effective in showing off a car's good lines... be it a G8, a new Camaro, the last-run of the MC, etc.

Ok, so I'll be a curmudgeon, what kind of people personally annoy you (thread readers) in the workplace, or at your school? I've had more criticism that I've had answers, so please feel free to vent.

It's been a while since we've polled on this...and we usually do it in poll form. So without a poll, pick ONE car color that you could apply to any and all of the cars you like. You can pick: ( a ) color, ( b ) basic depth - light, medium or dark, ( c ) metallic or enamel No need to describe your back-up...just ONE. My pick: Light Metallic Blue Why that choice? Both of the Cutlass Supremes and the Camaro I had were this color. I think it worked on all the cars I've owned, or would consider owning. Unfortunately, Glacier Blue Metallic was no longer a 2008 offering on LaCrosse, or I would have picked it. Why the poll? I went to my local B-(P)-C-GM and looked at the color choices for Cadillac...there was no more Ice Blue Metallic...not even on the more traditional DTS...

Cute dog. How old (remembering I have to "multiply by 7"). Any time that someone jokes around about spiking someone's food, I think of the scene in "The Pope of Greenwich Village" where Mickey Rourke and/or Eric Roberts spike the a-hole cop's food with horse laxative. Though generally a dire movie, that scene was funny and "Summer Wind" is one of the (only) two Sinatra songs I like.

Well, all Italians like a little bit of drama, but, what I find, as a common denominator, is that I have a big problem with people who make other people their "project." Those kinds of people, fortunately, are the minority. Plus, the jerk is a UCLA grad...you think that could be part of the problem?

Wish I could help, DF. In 98 or 99, the firm I was working for got new chairs. The bastard owner was going to go on the cheap, but we ended up with $300 dollar chairs because some of us did the "you must be kidding" routine. Don't remember the manufacturer, or I'd tell you, but they more than paid for themselves in terms of comfort and increased productivity. So, my advice, if it goes over your price point by a little bit and you like the chair, buy the chair.

Makes me all that more determined to drive an American car, which I like anyway. And I thrive on being a nonconformist to begin with. I was thinking about these characters at work, anyway...the common denominator is that they are male or female versions of Mrs. Kravitz on "Bewitched" (for those who remember either the original or the re-runs......."Abner, Abner...")

Scarface ("...look at you now") actually more disgusting than funny

007, it's that he spends TOO much time dwelling on what I say and do...during meetings or group sessions, I catch him studying/glaring at me and others notice it, too, and pull me aside afterward to point this out. But, back to the question, do you folks have people that are WAY too invested in what others are doing on a non-work level?

I second the motion. Happy birthday, Ven. I've been wondering what you've been up to.

I actually like most people at work. Most people at work like me, I think, based on the lunch and after-work invitations I get (as a ratio of work days). Everybody finds this guy annoying...I'm just more passoniate about it. He had to go way out on my Outlook to find "potential jury duty week" which overlaps with work, so I put it on there - what a douche he is.

You know which one I really like...the last-gen Bonne...quite a ways past the 2000 release, but immediately prior to cancellation (so, 2004 or 2005)...in LE form, so there's no spoiler...with a 3800 V6 after the intake "blues"...still featuring alloy wheels and a console set-up...and in a lighter metallic color. What is an ECM tune? Your trans is original, right? I'm only saying this if I was, for some reason, to replace the Regal....*hmmm, base 98 or 99 Intrigue...or 2002 GP GT 2-door...or 2004-05 Bonneville LE* I'm too used to my current cars at this point *sigh*

Hey...there is this guy I work with that I HATE. He needs to retire. He spends waaaaaaaaayyyy too much time looking at what I do...and I don't mean work-wise. I mentioned that I had to do something (personal) in a couple of weeks. He then says that he noticed it on my Outlook. I don't look at anybody's Outlook (especially into the future), unless I'm trying to get a few people into a meeting, or set aside a conference room. Why the hell is he looking at my Outlook in the future? I don't give a rat's ass what anybody around me does? Do some people not have a life? What is their problem? Do you have petty/intrusive co-workers? I do have some cool co-workers who aren't intrusive and aren't into being busybodies about work, when you take a vacation day, when you go to the doctor, when you wipe your @$$. Those are the only ones I generally talk to. Unbelievable.

I'm looking at the badging above the driver's door and can't make it out. Is it an LE/SE/SSE? Yeah, it's a little soiled...so is it brown, burgundy or that aubergine-eggplant color?
