Tonight is the final match. It is Italy versus France. Unlike the Super Bowl or the World Series, the World Cup only occurs once every 4 years....why, I don't know. It is being played in Berlin tonight. Any takes?

Blasphemous Pantho!

Which, for me, is most of the time...

Which powerplant? 3.1 V6 or L4?

You're back? So? :AH-HA_wink:

Two "n's" in Anniston, Reg. If you like her so much, then learn to spell her last name. :AH-HA_wink: Yes, we know Balthy likes her in a big way. To me, she's the Maureen McCormick of the new millenium. They look a lot alike, though Maureen McCormick was more "peaches and cream" and that probably took Ms. McCormick out of the running for being considered "hot." I've never thought "hot" is good, but "pretty" or "beautiful" is.

Andrea Bocelli... ...best voice ever...and I'm NOT ashamed to admit it.

ESTJ...time and time again (Most people would read me like an "E," but I enjoy my own company and don't get close to many people so I wonder if I'm on the borderline of "I") I am in agreement with the STJ part, though.

I only know 3 things about David Hasselhoff: 1. His hair is TOO coiffed 2. He was in the show with the Firebird and Baywatch...neither of which I expended any time to watch 3. He was waiting on tables in the Marina del Rey when he got discovered...L.A. waiter turned actor...isn't that original? You mean he sings, too, Reg? C'mon!

Anybody that's had one of these loves these cars. And, very true, it is the smallest platform you can get that gives a big car ride. I was thinking...the reason this platform has had such a long history, beyond the obvious reliability, is probably because it is so many things to so many people.

ocnblu ...sorry... ocnblu

Ditto. I don't get the joke.

How could I forget. The Intrigue. Best looking W-body vehicle ever. Period.

Tim Horton's! Damn. I love that place when I'm in Canada. I think their donuts are better than either Winchell's or Dunkin Donuts. Peter's Drive-In. I'll file that away. I expect to be in Banff/Canadian Rockies next summer.

Last time I checked, I wasn't fat, lazy and stupid. :AH-HA_wink:

Absolutely. But mostly for fast food, rarely for banking. The most important thing is that you look at the line ahead of time to see how long it is. If it's ridiculously long, then I won't use one. Two caveats: 1) I always look at my order when they hand me the bag of food. On a few occasions, they have forgotten the dipping sauce for my chicken nuggets... and I've had to tell them to pony-up 2) You had better look at the neighborhood and general environment of the drive through. Some people have fallen to attacks or confrontations since you are wedged into a limited space with not much wiggle room. Our controller at work told me that her son was in one of these late of night in a "middle" middle-class part of town and he had a fist come through the window which bloodied him up and caused him to go to ER. So, you have to scope out how it's laid out. Since hearing that story, I'm a little more cautious.

Thanks Delta! Yep, the first one is my sled. That one looks like a '90 or so. Mine is a '92...though not a Gran Sport. It has been the best car I've ever owned. The second one is what could be my next sled. If they'd only fix that front end. What's really funny here is the "spread" of the W-body. Ifyou look at Chilton's, it runs the gamut from the Lumina that had a 4 cylinder in it with blackwalls, crank windows and very little in the way of options all the way to a LaCrosse CXS or a Grand Prix GTP with a DOHC V6 and DOD V8, respectively. That's a big spread. Also, I think the W-body was born in 1988, so it is about to turn 19. Actually, if you buy one of these, you should feel pretty comfortable that you've made a solid automotive purchase.
