the dakar is one of my most favorite concepts of all time.

in all honesty, Josh man, i do indeed regret not taking it to the house and being heinously nasty and rude with those chicks in the hay, but indeed I would have had to do the raincoat bit considering how fertile the one was. its very often it goes through my mind that with the messed up girl, that's what she wanted, it would have been tremendous, and trying anything likely would have been acceptable. It would have been free reign maybe to try some kinky and degradatory stuff (but not anything that would cross the boundary into wrong) to boost the old male ego. I just had no complete idea how messed up she was and considering that the guy in the married couple she was living with at that time one time was bragging to me and my buddy about 'colored folk he had killed' back down south....well, and considering who knew if she involved in drugs or what with them.....I thought it best to keep Old Ted out of the pool in return for greater chance of less hassle in my life. Wow, that reminds me of when one of my other buddies was being stalked by the husband of a girl we worked with. He wasn't dating her or screwing around with her, but she clearly wanted to ride his bumpy. My friend took her home one night from the bar she was really wasted and couldn't drive. As he was parked in her driveway telling her goodnight, she tried to kiss him and about the same time, her husband arrived on scene and smashed in his windshield. The guy then stalked my friend for like a month and threatened to kill him. Fun stuff? See a chick who's fun? THINK TWICE.

there is a large part of the American population these days that is so self interested and self righteous that I think GM/Ford really should just write those customers off and not even bother. I think these are the folks that buy japanese mostly, without even looking at anything else. GM should go to lengths to cultivate a new following from the younger groups and also solidify their current fan base; in addition they ought to also begin to cultivate a relationship with folks that like German cars and try to develop some products that will appeal to that group as well, albeit at a lower price.

Hey everyone, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. There's always someone hungrier. "One is Joel T. Piaskowski. He's only 38, but he's the guy who designed the Buick Lucerne, one of GM's successful new models. Three years ago, Piaskowski quit GM and went to work for Hyundai Motor Co. in sunny Irvine, Calif. Today he's Hyundai's chief designer for North America, and other young Motown designers have followed in his wake." Hey Joel, why is the Azera such a visual disaster compared to the Lucerne then? He just wanted to live out in CA with all the moviestars and poo.

better save those champagne bottles for awhile, BM

David Champion is a dick.

this is buickman bait!

except one night when you least expect it she'll call you when she's drunk off her ass and she'll want to make it seem like she cares. Then, when you give her the Heisman, she'll get all huffy and bitter the next day....and that's fine.

my sister never had any issues with her early model focus. now, focus is among the most reliable compacts in the US. a focus is still a good buy. stripped ones sell for 10g, and nice equipped ones for mid teens. the ST has about 153 hp which is an advantage over Yaris. I'd like to see them have a Focus with about 200hp. Everyone I know including myself who's driven a FOcus like the handling and space and seating position.

yeah, aero styling is not in right now for sure

as a straight guy, it would be next to impossible for me to pick out a 'large package' in public. I would in no way know what to look for. Yet, a 'camel toe' is all to obvious and being able to tell if a woman has a thong or any underwear at all on is a split second glance kind of thing. And of course, the headlights on thing is always an immediate notice sort of thing.

BTW, what thread is this? I just drove by the Dodge dealer and they some funky cool looking hatchbacks on their lot.

I've got nothing against bi chicks, as long as they are in the room with me.

i've been saying this for awhile. especially the folks with money don't care, in fact, they want to see the dismantling of detroit as some sort of 'i told you so' and contempt versus all detroit's management and line workers. no article can even scratch the surface of how deep some folks hold contempt and ill will versus american auto companies. most of that is rooted in the liberal urban baby boomers who now have tons of money and influence in all of our consumer and governmental spending. Cars like the Prius then capitalize on that by rubbing salt in the wound more. the average low middle class folk have no problems shopping chevy, since that's what they can afford. but the folks as i described above have gone to great lengths to make folks feel really small for driving or considering American. That said, i think folks need to buy what suits them, what I am opposed to is the holier than thou opinions foisted on us by these holier than thou upperclass and uppermiddle class dinks.

oh cmon, bash the styling if you want, but first off, just about any large v6 will only get 20mpg combined. On the highway it should get more, and in case you didnt notice, it reported almost 33 mpg in one test. the car drew some comparison with the RX and 350Z and that for a front driver is worth merit. It drew praise for its engine and drivetrain and nothing bad about nadling other than that it was more sedan like. And the fact is that this car can do the 60 in the mid 5's, and isn't 35 grand like a 350Z. For folks wanting a coupe that hauls and be FWD its a nice offering. Its ez to pile on Mitsubishi but this car is not that bad. Its got a niche in the market and it performs pretty good. Better than a G6 GTP apparently. The styling and whether you like it or not is really the most debatable point about the car and that's fair criticism. I'm lukewarm to it, but I do like the choice of a FWD sports coupe with a v6 and a stick. I don't think they've tried to position themselves directly to the 350z and G35, etc. I think they are going as an alternative to the RSX for those who may want something with a v6.

there was another girl i knew from dorms, we would spend hours talking on the phone, and i would visit her in her room often. Yet, when it came to setting a 'date' outside the dorm, she always managed to sidestep the deal. It at first didn't help that she actually still had a boyfriend until the middle of the year. Then she went home a lot at first, but then she acquired a strange group of adult friends off campus she eventually ended up living with for awhile. I had to give up making any effort to continue our friendship because it was torture, she was so hot to me (huge rack/brown hair/nice smile trifecta) and so fun. At the end of the school year we had a big hotel party and it turned out she could come. We spent most of the night drinking beer in the hotel room and steam room and stuff, with our friends. Well, the party got out of hand and she got really drunk. Our friend who rented the room decided we needed to move the party because the hotel had warned us and they were going to call the cops. The whole thing was a quick affair and happened in a minute or so while this chick was in the bathroom. There was a bunch of us and we all hurried to leave. One of my other buddies decided to stay and literally when this chick came out of the bathroom, everyone was gone except for her and my buddy whom she had just met like the hour before. She was hammered and ended up getting together with my buddy. He knew I might be upset about it but at the same time we both did agree it wasn't like i was dating her although he knew I was gaga over her. He said she threw herself at him and that was about it. I was hurt about it, and the next fall she actually started to go ver to his place to get it from time to time a few times until he eventually stopped it, partially because he wasn't interested in her as a girlfriend and he knew i was. So we ended up setting up a few instances of 'double dating' and I finally got it to a point where I did go out on a date with her alone. She was weird the whole night and paranoid about being gone from home for the night (by this time she was living with her wierd adult friends). We were kissing and 'stuff' and things were going good and she just starts freaking out. I'm like, MAN THIS IS INSANE. I think what was going on was that she was maybe 'dating' this 'married' couple she was living with in exchange for rent or something. Well, I tried to stay away from that point on except for once she called me when she was drunk and I went over to pick her up and she came back to my place. That night would have been what I wanted and an easy take but the whole time I could not ignore how messed up she was; she was really hazy. Who knows what else she might have been on that night. She had it down to nothing between us but a bedsheet and I didn't want to deal with anything that could follow the next day. She stayed overnight but the next day would NOT talk to me. Even my buddy noticed it. She was completely mad and as it turned out that was the last time I talked to her. I was upset because she was sweet and i wanted to date her so badly, but she was so messed up. She ended up getting pregnant like a year later. She left school early and had three kids unmarried in just a couple years. Later on a few years my friend told me she had taken her own life by running the car in the closed garage. Kind of a downer story (sorry about that) but I guess what it shows is that sometimes for you its better if things don't work out like you initially want them to.

it sounds like you are totally ready to move on from this chick. Good for you. As Howard Jones would say, 'Things can only get better'. The Bob and Bob architects are always willing to listen........

wait, i know! Toyota sent out the tundra on a special mission to take out the editor of the #1 GM fans website, C&G! its a sabotage mission! at least it wasn't wpbh out on a 'hazy' drive in the Max.

azera....RRRRRRRRRRRRRR...... fly buddy, what is the deal with your car? maybe the car gods are trying to force you into a Kia Amanti or something........ your car's been violated more offen than a pregnant Britney spears in her 8th month with a wad of 50's at the college dorms.....

that starbucks chick sounds like a piece of work

if it were a choice, why would anyone 'choose' to be subjected to so much scorn and persecution? A person's sexual preference is most definitely 'who they are'. Not a conscious 'decision'. It would seem to me you could only hold back what is true to yourself for so long.

totally hot chick also way psycho maybe humor is or isn't the best medicine right now, but at least it can serve to confirm with satire how all men have felt jilted by a woman sometimes. even after the signs were in place........it serves to highlight the schizo nature of some girls.

since you started the theme of 21st birthdays....here's another 'been there' story for ya....... one girl i thought i became involved with, i met her on a summer overnight job and got to know her as friends. once summer was over, we returned ot our respective schools (hers was in my parents' town) and she said, 'come visit me sometime'. Following that were a couple letters so I'm like, 'ok she's nice I'll visit' and i did that a few times. I had never thought of her as girlfriend material. but....... That visiting led to major involved makeout sessions quite a few times but no actual dates yet. All I know was that I began to feel things for this girl and I knew she was feeling things for me. This played out for a full school year until she got a summer internship in a large city. I did not follow her there but what then happened was we chased each other up and down the highway to visit and actually date. She was moralistic and I didn't believe in making an issue of sex a right away priority with this girl because i had begun to really fall hard for her. Always passionate making out and mischief and stuff, but never any 'breakthroughs'. I REALLY began to grow into liking her as more than a friend.....LOVING her actually. I admired her so much and her ability to have incredible conversation and her smiles turned me on to the point where she was all I could think about. I often spent nights thinking about her and whether she felt the same. Well, it all had to come to a head. She told me she was coming to my town the weekend of my 21st birthday (coincidence..LOL) and was taking me out both nights. Again, she was moralistic and often worried about how good she was and so stayed with a friend that weekend, but it was right by my place and I guess I always had a thought that maybe she might stay with me this time. She got into town and showed up and gave me a really nice card. I am like, this is gonna be the weekend. Somehow in the middle of that weekend, I couldn't contain myself any longer and told her something to the effect that i loved her as more than a friend, thinking I would capitalize on the specialness of the weekend. After all, she was setting aside this weekend to be there with me. I had two great nights at the bars and she was wonderful but somehow in there at the end of one of the nights I got the 'I don't think of you quite that way' line. The I don't LOVE you admission. How in the hell could I have been so wrong? All the signs were in place and everything suggested a breakthrough weekend and moment. OH WELL. She said she was sorry and I think was caught off guard a bit. Needless to say things deteriorated after that. I got a letter from her a month later saying she needed me and needed to have me as a friend and that she missed me. I suppose that was because I didn't talk to her after that weekend. I made a few attempts to visit her after that. She actually had started dating some guy who had his motorcycle apart on her living room floor. I was the only friend invited to her college graduation and met her parents and family. I fell out of touch with her after that. I figured I tried and she didn't step up to the plate. Oddly, she moved to my town for some post grad the following 18 months or so, but i only saw her once during that time and i think that last time was when she saw and actually felt how much she had hurt me. Awhile after that she sends a picture from her wedding on a cruise ship. I am positive I was the only guy to get that. It's like, 'look at me! i got married and it wasn't you!'. Meh. It only hurts now because the emotion I invested and the wway she made me feel and so many other things. That said, I am very happy with my wife and one of the reasons was because she never played those games and was always 100% honest in the way she treated me and others.

mustang, that sort of thing does indeed happen. a few times with me. I feel bad for ya. All you want to do is get to know someone and see what they are about and some prefer to just play games and yank us around like puppets on a string. yeah, i had a couple of those almost like that, lots of deep intimate talks, baring your soul, etc. and then at some point they give you the shaft. i have been told that women at that age get very anxiety ridden and confused about what they actually want in guys and stuff. Chemically imbalanced practically. But to me, it doesn't give them an excuse to treat people so poorly. Hang in there bro. I'm gonna grab a beer and share it with ya. Anyone else free to jump in and grab a cold one too.

i hope that's not our new maxima
