  1. for this particular recipe, i am not sure what type of bbq sauce would be the best. i usually like famous dave's rich and sassy or devil's spit. the basic kc masterpiece is very good bbq sauce. i am forgetting which hickory smoke sauce i like. i've tried some sauce lately called 'legend' bbq sauce and it was good and might be suited to this recipe pretty well. the wife made some bbq sauce one time from scratch when she made beef tenderloin, that was pretty killer. most of the time i use bbq sauce its with beef and this is all pork. i am unsure how bacon and bbq sauces mesh. you may have to try this recipe several times to find out.
  2. godfathers bacon cheeseburger pizza yummy
  3. they are evolutions only, and word is we still get stuck with the 5 cylinder growler as a base engine, which erodes any value proposition they bring to the table. the car needs an up to date normally aspirated 2.0 4 pot. smooth, light, powerful. good mpg.
  4. sounds good to me.
  5. hmmmmm, funny.
  6. eweeeeee
  7. LMAO...sure. although i have gaven a lot of this stuff up in the past year, but for this i could certainly fall off the wagon for a day or two. MEAT IS GOOD.
  8. imagine how tasty the pan drippings from this would be.
  9. i still think a lot of GM's mid tier decision rests on the saturn vs pontiac dilemma. i think they want to kill saturn, or they want to kill pontiac. but can't. i think personally doing either would not hurt me as long as my only GM mid tier offering is a buick. i would prefer a saturn or pontiac to a buick. to be relegated to a chevy and shut out of cadillac is not the choice i want.
  10. i specifically recall the a8 being available with fwd, i know this because i seriously considered getting one a few years ago. depreciation? you want to talk torrential depreciation, go look at the A8. and they call GM cars rentals.
  11. not many acuras have ever topped those numbers anyways. i always figured acura buyers just wanted a tarted up fit or accord.
  12. i had test driven the catera a couple of times. it felt like a really good drive. way better than the gm front drivers at the time. and the space utlization of that car was tremendous. the rear seat was spacious. i had just figured it was a bit shaky of a proposition at the time and i was leery of the motor.
  13. i was wondering how this would be with some cheese sauce on top. or even some gravy. bacon sausage gravy. MMMMMMMMMM!
  14. if nissan intends to build its future on $h! products like the versa and the cube, then they have it coming to them. the versa is terrible. if the cube is the same, they might as well change their name to 'geely'
  15. with an aztek in my garage, let me be the first to say i would never come close to driving and owning this nissan cube piece of $h!. if the cube does well as enzl purports, it about a rampart part of society being idiots rather than it being a good transportation choice. if the cube had a chevy badge on it, the press would be lambasting it. at least the kia soul looks halfways decent, only in comparison. i would hope that people would be wise enough not to buy this cube piece of crap and at least check out the transit connect or even the honda element as a much wiser way to spend money. you can even buy a nice short wheelbase kia sorento for the price of this these days.
  16. i just can't imagine how wonderfully good this would be.
  17. FWIW the catera was a great car too, except the motor sucked and its reliability overall was unacceptable. i wonder how may of you actually drove a catera. i considered buying one, but it had rwd, didn't want that here. then it turned out to be an unreliable car.
  18. see, you know it too. the astra is worlds better than the cobalt and the cobalt is a good car itself. just that the cobalt has a few more engine options and better pricing and options packages. i can't see the a3 being worth the extra dough. the dealer i was talking to emailed me last week and said they added 0%/60 and 1.9/72 financing on the astra i had picked out on top of all the rebates. I was kind of upset to have had to tell him its harder to reason to buy a car when you are now jobless.......needless to say i would have pulled the trigger. i really like the astra and don't really care if its not got high horsepower, the next model will correct that. for me now its a question of whether when i am gainfully employed again, do i wait for an 010 astra or find an even better deal on an 08? my fallback is used 08 taurus, which is a different animal. i even decided i wanted the astra over the vw's. i like the VW's, but didn't want the 5 cylinder. optioning up a jetta or jetta sportwagen with the 4pot turbo and such gets really pricey. The new mazda 3 is possibly the only other compact i may have interest in, once the 010 fusion engine upgrades come on line and the new 010 taurus hits. I would be perfectly happy with an astra for awhile though. It falls under the 'you have to drive it against its competition' on the same day type of thing. The VW's were the only ones in my mind that had the same solidity and driving enjoyment in the compact class. i was willing to live with a little less hp in the astra compared to the vw.
  19. open mouth, inhale bacon sausage combo. how can that not be heavenly?
  20. and here we though satty had a liking for juicy meat.
  21. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html?_r=2 http://www.kansascity.com/703/story/1006454.html this has GOT to be the biggest foodgasm evah!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. opel is in a lower pricebracket than the highly optioned (and overpriced for what you get) BMW's. and no one buys a bmw, they lease it because they don't want to be stuck with it when the maintenance contract is done.
  23. in the 'my home is my ATM days' the buzz was that each brand needed a full line and several brands with high prices sold plenty of units. i think we are still seeing that GM is afraid that buying out the brands will cost way to much and will limit their opportunity to keep the market share they had...i.e. oldsmobile part 2. even the best chevies and caddies won't be enough to hit all the markets they want is what i am sensing. that is not to suggest that saturn and buick and pontiac need to be full lines anymore. but I think with the market contraction and downward price push, you could say that once established, a pontiac brand with a compact, g6, and g8 could support less volume and a price structure that is below acura (i.e. way too much for fwd $h!boxes) and above chevy. reducing gm to just chevy and caddy would really drag caddy down into the mud to something like an acura. a joke of a brand. nice cars, but not aspirational like the germans. no one buys acura because they want to. i think we'll see surprising results out of the SRX. it may be a nice bridge product for cadillac in these times where people are not exactly snapping up S classes and 7 series.
  24. maybe they will do a convertible CTS to replace it at some point. the XLR was nice but the interior sucked and the corvette outperformed it. i think GM needs to allow caddy dealers to sell the corvette (and give it a nicer interior too)
