Reatta: I almost forgot about those They are likable, I just don't know how they hold (held) up. They look great in Maui Blue. Intrigue: *put tongue back in mouth* - I see a couple of them just about every day...when outfitted in a slick metallic color with some nice alloys and looking all clean from the car wash, this is automotive nirvanah...for me, at least.

Does it take a long time to get used to driving on the right (or correct :AH-HA_wink:) side of the street? Just thinking about going to Australia and renting a car makes my palms sweat... BTW...I like your Avatar...pretty funny.

Yep *as I putz around in my 92 Regal with 229,000 miles*

As I drive around and see different state license plates, I think yay or nay. Some are really cool and some are misses. My thoughts on a couple of them: California - the cursive script is cool, but otherwise bland. Washington - Mt. Rainier and the colors are soothing, but some people don't like it because not all of the state can see Mt. Rainier from where they are...and eastern WA is very different from the Seattle area where most of the population resides. Arizona - not bad Utah - TOO colorful Nevada - washed out with its golden sky...Nevada, in my mind, used to have the BEST plate of all the states: it was called the Big Horn design. The plate was essentially silver and in various shades of gray, it lightly depicted a desertscape with yucca trees and a bighorn sheep at one corner on a ridge. In navy blue Bonanza-type western letters, it said Nevada on top and Silver State on the bottom. But they got rid of it. New York - the colors chosen are kind of washed out and too cluttered in its story across the top. I think I preferred the last one (red, white and blue) with the Statue of Liberty. In the 80s, they had the ominous orange with navy blue letters and it looked great on a black limousine. Florida - I'm not so big on the oranges. I LOVED the one with the state outline, white/green/peach coloring and the name of the county of the bottom

No, Sat, not like that. It was her German accent and how she said "uRRRologist," "teRRRapy," and "you tRRRy dat." Have you ever watched her on a talk show? It's impossible NOT to fall out of your chair.

Gawd, I miss Dr. Ruth.

Work and school combined? I'm doing that and I am mostly a vegetable of sorts or, if severely needled by something or somebody, I can go off. At times, I feel overloaded and depressed by all I have on my plate. (G&G is a release of stress for me, serving as my "smoke break"). It has been pointed out to me that there is a thing called "agitated depression" or a word like that. It sounds to me like this could be it with you. What do you think?

Assume for a moment that C&G threads could be catalogued into "sex / sexual / relationships," "car problems," "current events," "(name of specific car) reviews and opinions" and yada-yada, the thread on "sex / sexual / relationships" would almost always be the best attended on this board. And you can always count on the fact that the posts and certain posters will be opinionated, divided, caustic and heated.

My Dad passed away in April 1998...so about 8 years ago. It was sort of a foggy feeling for a short while thereafter, even though we knew it was inevitable since his CHF was advancing. It's always difficult to say good-bye to a loved one, so I understand. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey, AR05, I'm STILL diggin' those houses! That's not snow, that's a dusting!

Yep, like TYD or one of you Maple Leaf types pointed out, Canada alone is a good reason for General Motors NOT to drop the Pontiac line!

Those with walk-in closets come out of the closet on a daily basis. Razor, I'm with you, I don't like the use of that word either. "Gay" as read in stories in grammar school meant happy. How the word got derailed into meaning homosexuality is beyond me.

You're funny! You've joined the ranks of the many who proclaim "I love L.A." (raunchy but funny song by Randy Newman) and you cited one of the very best reasons to love it. LA: where you GO TO THE SNOW... because it doesn't come to you.

I was following 2 of them (not deliberately) on the freeway today during lunch time. They are kind of cool...and certainly WAY better looking and better proportioned than the PT Cruiser.

Well, I'm a broken record...so here goes: I am wrapping up a night time Masters in May 2007, so I don't want nor need a new car to dash like a madman on the freeway and in the parking structure looking for a space between my 48 hours at the office and my 2 classes at night. Then, I'll go to Europe for most of June and July, so the 2008s will be here when I return. Hence: Choice 1 2008 Buick La Crosse CX with some options (alloys, conv. package), 3800 V6 (the Intrigue of the new millenium, right?) Choice 2 2008 Monte Carlo LT 3.5 VVT V6 Choice 3 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix base 3800 V6 Unless something else comes around by GM or someone can convince me otherwise, these are the choices.

No. Thankfully not. They are on the thin side....European style. No big shoulders and calves to be seen...at least, not as many as you would see in a city in the heartland. In this regard, Montreal is a lot more like Europe than America....NO FAT CHICKS.

It took a while, but then I got it... Response to thread: Key Lime

1. those Romanesque limestone rowhouses are cool, but I like newer construction...I would be depressed living in something that musty and frumpy 2. Look at those cool buildings and the copper dome...I swear, Montreal looks especially good under gray skies...I don't know why 3. The Travelodge...AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH....not THIS time! Don't tell me you didn't have a GREAT time!

1. The Cathedral is weak on the outside but gorgeous on the inside. Celine can get married in the main church, the rest of the world has to get married in one of the small chapels in the back. 2. I love that overpass that looks at the Convention Center with the freeway (Autoroute Ville Marie) buzzing underneath 3. The leaves look pretty green. I will be there in about 1 week. Great pix. What a KICK-ASS city. If I was more resistant to cold weather, I think I would enjoy living there...after all, my friends call me the "welcome wagon" for foreigners....and there are lots of them in Montreal, right?
