  1. And don't forget the C&G curse will also take a few out!
  2. Now see, I was only going to offer that because it was my idea. But hey, you said it's fixed, it's fixed! Surely you don't expect a helping hand to buy Holden from me now do you? :rotflmao:
  3. I would have taken care of Blu by making sure he at least got the Supplier discount! :AH-HA_wink:
  4. I just like that factory fresh feeling! :AH-HA_wink:
  5. Blu what are your plans for this truck after it's repaired? If you can afford it, I would trade it in on the same truck if you like it or on something more fuel efficient. My feeling is it will never be the same as it once was. Like I said, I don't know what your financial status is, but if you could, I would.
  6. I'm just a messenger, for one more powerful than I. I'm like an angel of the Lord, yeah that's it, just like an angel of the Lord! :AH-HA_wink:
  7. A Colbalt did all that? How fast were you both going?
  8. Donner und Blitzen! German, for Thunder and Lightning!
  9. Did I say every RWD? The exchange rates will either kill the G8 or GM will be forced to move the G8 to North America, sooner, rather than later. The crude oil price is just icing on the cake. And yes TICK-TICK, it's coming! :AH-HA_wink:
  10. I miss him too! But my Spiddy sense tells me he's closer than you think!
  11. That's what Holden should have called their purple!
  12. This too shall pass! TICK-TOCK! :AH-HA_wink:
  13. Watch it there Mister, I love yellow and purple! :AH-HA_wink:
  14. Just have my Mother-In-Law kiss the North pole. It will freeze rock solid in a matter of seconds! And the Polar Bears will once again have a home!
  15. TICK-TOCK! :AH-HA_wink:
  16. Yes he does, he had a McDonnell-Douglas MD500, but I don't know what he owns now. :AH-HA_wink:
  17. I can't wait to get one, 2010 feels like forever!
  18. Damn, has she ever heard of a car wash?
  19. I hope they kill all their workers! Works for me!
  20. GM should look into this technology. It will be the wave of the future, and GM should get into it now. I been having the urge to learn how to fly. My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said I want to learn how to fly a helicopter. Hopefully I will get lessons on just that, Christmas day.

  21. FBI, CIA, NSA, NRO!
  22. "A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us ..." For a minute there I thought it was Bill Clinton! :rotflmao:
  23. My pension fund thanks you! Why are you tired and grumpy this evening?
  24. Yeah that bridge holds New Jersey in place so it doesn't float out to sea.
  25. Growing up in Germany as I did, the 1st cars that I remember seeing were BMW's. Growing up as a American diplomat's kid I was use to seeing the big Cadillacs and Lincolns, but to me at that time they were just work cars. A perk for diplomats was you could have your personal cars shipped to where you were stationed at the embassy. One day I was getting dressed for school when I heard and felt the embassy compound shake with a loud engine noise. I looked out the window and there was a navy blue car I couldn't identify, it wasn't a Cadillac or Lincoln. It had a sinister look about it, it had stacked headlights it's meshed grille came to a point with a emblem I had never seen before. As I left for school I slowly walked past that car, it had three little letters on the right side of the grille, they said GTO. The new guy at the embassy got out of the car and said "How do you like her kid?", I said what kind of car is that, to which he responded "That's a 1967 Pontiac GTO!". It was love at 1st sight for me and that car, I couldn't get enough of that car, I would use any excuse to get close to it. I went to the library to read about it, Pontiac and GM (This is like 1978, I was like 9 years old, no internet in those days). Before long I knew all the makes and models of GM, which made me appreciate the embassy Cadilliac fleet even more knowing they were GM cars too. The guy that owned the GTO saw how much I loved it and suggested that maybe I should write to GM in Detroit, Michigan. That seemed like a million miles away to me, but write I did. About 3 months (it took about a month for regular mail to go to the USA) went by and a package arrived for me at the embassy. When I looked at the return address I saw one thing and one thing only, stamped on the front was "PONTIAC MOTOR DIVISION". It was a huge box, loaded with the current model of Pontiac car brochures and every old Pontiac brochure that they must have had laying around back to 1965. Not only that, they also sent brochures from other GM divisions too. There was a very nice letter from the current general manager at that time. I still have the box, letter an the brochures locked away in storage. I wasn't even ten years old yet and I knew I was going to work for GM someday, all because of that 1967 Pontiac GTO. I have to say it's great having a job you actually love to do, but to do it with a company you love too, it's beyond words. Enthusiast you say? Not at all!
