Not until now. The name threw me off. I thought it would be a "Schindler's List" type movie.

I'm very happy to hear this. I had some cognitive dissonance after the purchase, but buying my 2008 LaCrosse CX was the right thing to do, when I was edging real close to a Monte Carlo coupe. More recently, checking the dot system on Consumer Reports, the LaCrosse has been showing full red dots for all powertrain components since its 2005 release, whereas the MC has not. Good going, Buick!

Within the last couple of weeks, I saw "Slumdog Millionaire." I thought it would a comedy, when someone told me about the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" theme. It was anything but. It was probably one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen If anyone is feeling down, see this movie and you will feel better...we don't have it that bad. A co-worker has also lent me "Shawshank Redemption" and "Primal Fear." They are mid-90s movies I've never seen. Both are also really powerful....the first for all its messages about life (and an unbelievable Morgan Freeman performance) and the second one for the way the courtroom drama and forensics stuff plays out, not to mention the bizarre ending (plus Richard Gere doesn't act like Richard Gere and is actually convincing as the defense attorney). I told my co-worker to lend me more entertaining movies in the future. Seen any interesting flicks lately?

O.J. Simpson (I think that's what EVERYONE associates with that word!)

you can always offer him a ride there in your Grand Prix! Besides, don't all the documentaries show that it's the Germans, the Dutch, and the Scandinavians that like those places...

Sunday, March 15: 1978 Oldsmobile 98 Regency sedan with gas engine (according to badging): silver / silver vinyl top / dark red interior (leather seats) / whitewalls / wire wheels Perfect condition / 6 digit (now 7 digits) original CA plates What I have always called "la cathedrale roulante" ("the rolling cathedral" in French, for its tall twin-spired taillamp look from the rear)

March 12: Regal coupe, 1976 with landau, primer gray, but running at about 75 on the fast lane of the freeway Regal coupe, 1973 with vinyl top, the mint green, but fairly faded, parked at the post office Same 'effin day! Nostalgic. (What an improvement the '76 was over '73-'75 with its Eldorado inspired taillamps)

So why did this happen? The car looks good, supposedly drives well, is reasonably priced (in V6 form). Did I mention it looks good? So was it timing, advertising, crowded market niche, association with Pontiac, or another easily forgettable alpha-numeric name?

This is now the second time you've said this... ...you need a new slogan...
