  1. Now why would I think it was bad? I'm the King of Suburbia. Google Hockessin, Delaware and you will see the main road that goes through town which is State Route 41 which is also called Newport Gap pike, as in Newport, Delaware to Gap, Pennsylvania, it doesn't get much more local than that.
  2. Man I hate to say this but those bikes look 20 years out of date.
  3. California Dreamin' - Mamas & the Papas
  4. Enjoy! And on the German Autobahn!
  5. I loved the Heartbeat of America commercials and theme, The American Revolution ad campaign sucks big time! Can you even remember if it has a theme song? But I will remember the Heartbeat of America and Like a Rock (Chevy Trucks) songs till the day I die. Plus I love seeing the old L cars (Beretta & Corsica), built at my beloved Wilmington assembly. Which spawned the N cars.
  6. Well the Acadia & Torrent have identical safety ratings for side/front/rollover, the Envoy somewhat less. So I guess it will be between the Acadia & Torrent. So my GM Employee discount and what offers if any we have at this time next June- August. Normally for GM Employee discounts the more expensive the vehicle the more we get off the price, but it's all relative.
  7. Mooo Chass Grassy Ass!
  8. You're not alone, I'm right down the road!
  9. Does anyone know the front and side impact ratings of Acadia and Envoy? I know what they are for the Torrent and I think the Envoy was 5 for side, but I don't know the front ratings for the Envoy.
  10. I wonder how this got by motor vehicle? Fly, what's the process for vanity plates there?
  11. I'm not evil! I'm sweet and innocent and bunnys and chipmonks come out and play whenever I'm around!
  12. Well we'll see how this plays out, I have a funny feeling that GM will shut down both Buick and Pontiac if this doesn't work and merge GMC into Chevrolet.
  13. Kill me now!
  14. I don't like the looks of it.
  15. Well if your not afraid of snakes, perhaps you should be afraid of Mountain Lions as they are attacking people in good old suburbia more and more it seems, although you are in your 40's now so you aren't as tender as you once were. So you may be safe now. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m128...v46/ai_16218229
  16. I have a Goldfish at work who I named Holden. Holden is a bad fish as he constantly does the wrong things. From my office I constantly have to yell HOLDEN NO or STOP HOLDEN!
  17. OK, today we did some more looking for whatever is going to replace our 2005 Chevy Equinox LT AWD in 2008. My wife has disqualified the following SUV's. 2008 Buick Enclave - To Expensive 2008 Saturn Outlook - Doesn't like the grille or the dealer. 2008 Saturn Vue - Seems smaller, looks like a Vibe, hates the dealer. 2008 Chevy Equinox LT AWD and TrailBlazer, I disqualified these, I hate our Chevy dealer. Still in the running. 2008 GMC Acadia 2008 GMC Envoy 2008 Pontiac Torrent AWD
  18. I would suggest an emergency rattlesnake kit! All these are found in California! Western C. viridis Western Diamondback C. atrox Red Diamondback C. ruber Sidewinder C. cerastes Speckled C. mitchellii Mojave C. scutulatus
  19. How fast does a donkey pulling a cart of olives go in Portugal?
  20. Funny, mine is on the left side!
  21. Happy Birthday Boyz! :sign0200:
  22. Millions of drivers around the country use E-ZPass and other electronic toll collection systems to speed them on their daily drives, but consumers are discovering that there is a price to be paid for the convenience: loss of privacy, haggling between state systems, accidental fines. Now, add to that list the “orphan exit.” You probably know you should read your bills carefully every month looking for signs of fraud or overcharging by retailers. But if you're like most people, you probably don't do it anyway. Fortunately, Pennsylvania driver Kathy Suntato is that special consumer who keeps her magnifying glass nearby when scanning her bills. Once each week, Suntato gets on the Pennsylvania Turnpike at Philadelphia and gets off at Willow Grove, about 20 miles up the road. Under the turnpike’s toll scheme, that should cost her 75 cents. But seven times in recent weeks, Suntato was charged $5 instead. The reason: "orphan exits." Never heard of them? If you drive on a highway that collects tolls electronically, you'd better get to know the term. Suntato, like millions of drivers around the country, keeps her E-ZPass box with the radio-enabled computer chip attached to her windshield. Every time she enters or exits the highway, a Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority computer makes note of it, and deducts the toll from a prepaid account that's replenished regularly by charges against Suntato's credit card. Privacy advocates have long warned of the dangers of a system that knows where drivers are coming and going, but consumers have embraced the E-ZPass system because it lets them speed past traffic jams at toll plazas. In some states, including New Jersey, E-ZPass users even get a discount. Extra charge But Suntato isn't getting a discount; in fact, she's paying extra. Toll fees on the Pennsylvania Turnpike are based on distance -- the farther you drive, the more you pay. But what happens when the system doesn't know how far you drove because the computers don’t know where you entered the highway?

  23. Does it glow with atomic energy?
