  1. Weird, it looks Fordish to me with a mutant toyo pig nose.
  2. My 2005 Grand Prix GT had the two tone white/black interior with the light colored leather seats, lets just say they get dirty quick. Also picked that up at CP Diver on the way back from the beach at that time. I'm what you call an impulse buyer no pun intended.
  3. Are you actually repressed or just afraid, there is a difference?

  7. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, you look like a monkey, oops wait, that's my ocnblu birthday song! Happy Birthday guys!
  8. The current Presidential Limousine is a 2006 hand-crafted, armored version of the stretch Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan), weighing 60,000 pounds, first used on January 20, 2005 during the second inauguration parade of George W. Bush. The vehicle was custom built by a team formerly called O’Gara, Hess and Eisenhart, founded in Fairfield, Ohio in 1942, specializing in armoring limousines for presidents and heads of state, and now a subsidiary of BAE Systems. The vehicle’s exterior is that of a Cadillac DTS, however a GM truck chassis with a specialized engine is used. The standard DeVille flush-style door handles have been replaced by a loop-type design, made specifically for this vehicle. The security door handles may only be opened by trained Secret Service personnel. The exterior wreath-and-crest emblems located behind the rear side windows are the only stock components. Similar to its predecessor, the 2001 Presidential Limousine, the stretch Cadillac features an executive plush interior with a rear foldaway desktop, an extensive entertainment system featuring a 10-disc CD changer and adaptive, massaging cushions. The president sits in the rear seat, facing a console-mounted, secure communications panel which is connected to five antennas mounted on the trunk lid. The vehicle has a United States flag mounted on the left front fender and a Presidential flag on the right front fender. Flush-mounted high intensity discharge (HID) spotlights illuminate the flags at night. Similar to an option available on the standard Cadillac DTS, the presidential limousine is said to have a night vision system, with the camera placed in an undisclosed location. The exterior is paneled with five inches of ballistic armor, designed to withstand anti-tank grenade launchers. The underside of the car is also armored. The fully functional windows are made of transparent armor of sufficient thickness to block sunlight, requiring interior illumination with artificial lighting. The car has a run-flat tire system utilizing tires custom made twice annually by GoodYear. The limousine is environmentally sealed against chemical and biological attacks. No, my friend was in a Suburban with 5 others.
  9. As some of you know, my brother works for the NRO and a childhood friend of mine is a Secret Service agent, so I have been up close and personal with this car. My friend Tim called me last week and said he and some other agents saw me on I-95 going northbound in PA and they could not catch me as I weaved in and out of traffic. Here is a pic of the car in question.
  10. Your link takes you the the GM media online site.
  11. You're a much more liberal husband than I am. My wife tells me the type of vehicle she wants but I make the final decision as to what gets brought into our fleet, but then I am paying the cash for it, she is not. We have had the following agreement from the time we got married, I let her make all decisions when it comes to inside the house, but outside the house including the garages are my domain. It has worked well for 19 years, at least for me. I'm glad you both like the dealer add-ons, they allow you to personalize your vehicle.
  12. Hershey's is moving their production facilities out of the USA and into Mexico. I'm not sure what they will do about their production facilities in Canada.
  13. The new Astra is coming! DF, you do know the Beat is Korean too, don't you?
  14. Enjoy your new car and thank you for buying GM.
  15. Enjoy your new car and thank you for buying GM.

  17. Happy Birthday Moltar, I had a great 38th year, hope you enjoy yours!
  18. Way to much effort on my end to do! :rotflmao:
  19. Members section says he was here on the June 24, 2008, so he's lurking.
  20. Then it's only fitting that they go out together, take that however you want. Either as a date or something more ominous!
  21. Very nice indeed!
  22. If the black Suburbans are after you that's the US Government not GM (we drive white Cadillac ESVs,) if the US Government is after you all I can do for you is offer you asylum in Europe where you will have to drive Opels or Saabs all the rest of your days.
