It's not a W-body, but it is nice for what it is. J/K. Compliments on the color and the wheels. It has a nice, clean front end. I see that the standardization of dials (light switches) has spread throughout the GM line. Those have showed up on many Chev products I've rented. How long did you keep your previous truck, anyway?

I really like the DTS. I was oblivious to them but, on vacation in Pensacola FL last June, I checked some out at the Cadillac dealership there. It really hits the "sweet spot"...that of being a large Cadillac but still having styling that isn't bombastic and bloated. It has become rather svelte for as large as it is, with nicely tapered contours. And it shows that Cadillac has modernized and moved with the times, bringing its flagship right along with them. I'm such a die-hard W-body consumer but, if full-sizes were my bag, I would love to own one of these. I couldn't think of a nicer road-trip car. I thought the STS might make a big splash and it hasn't, so this is the epitome of Cadillac IMO.

I'm wondering if a new name was needed, as well. But, I'm sure they conducted their marketing research. At first blush, the Malibu is better looking than either Camry or Accord...by a wide margin.

It will be. People tend to be very "knee jerk" on this kind of stuff. And great chunks of this country are still very conservative.

I tried Ambien about 4 or 5 years ago. It works. It's expensive. And they don't like to pay for it. I have tried Ativan (Lorazepam) and it's cheap. You have to take it about 10 hours before you need to wake up to avoid the grogginess factor. It takes me about a year to go through a bottle, so I'm not prone to dependency. Masturbation? Cheap, healthy and effective. LOL. PB, you need to get the 20-something old dude out of your head. It's self-defeating. You'll sleep better.

Hillary Clinton? I need to move to Portugal, Italy, Uruguay, somewhere.... I'm non-partisan, though more of a Democrat in ideology. I'd like to vote Democrat, but I'd like to see the party run a mainstream candidate that doesn't polarize. Why are Republicans SO conservative and why are Democrats SO liberal? I don't like her...AT ALL. I don't expect any politician to be nice...neither male nor female...however, this one is vile...accounts of her treatment of staff/etc. at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as depicted in various books do not paint a good picture...in fact, they point to some serious abilities to kick-start her vibrator....vroom...vroom...since we know her and Bill don't do "the nasty" very much, if ever. I think the Clinton dynasty needs to end...just as the Bush dynasty needs to end. What is she doing in NY, anyway? She adopted it as a domicile. It's absurd...as absurd as it would have been for Giuliani to run for governor of Arkansas.

Just got back from Chico, but it's still your b-day in this time zone. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Frank!

I can't stand stupid women. The problem is that a lot of available intelligent women push it too far...to the butch side / "gotta compete with the male enemy" mentality.On the flip side, many others are looking for a "free ride" and are an albatross because they have focused entirely on looks and not developing any kind of depth..plus it makes me wonder how an intelligent man could relate to a woman like that, let alone respect them.

I, too, was in for service at my dealership and they had a new silver Acadia on the floor. At first, since I am NOT a truck/SUV/crossover person, I wondered what it was. It is a very good-looking vehicle for its genre. It is nicely finished inside and the overall feel is impressive. I am a car person, so I wouldn't probably get one. But, if this was my market, this would be a very tempting choice. Nice work, GM !

That causes "white eye." :AH-HA_wink: Thanks for sharing.

Yes. It ruined a trip to Vancouver. Generally, one eye is worse. But, since we are restless, we will itch one eye and transmit it to the other. It could be viral or bacterial. (Dont' ask me how they could diagnose which is which). I took a risk and it went away in about 3 days. Still, it didn't look particularly good and it felt weird looking at the world through watery eyes. Still, I would NOT take the risk and you should get seen. I am not allergic to sulfa drugs; however, I experience hives if I take them and get sun. I'll never forget that one!

It was MY idea, K.C. "Trin"
