Oracle of Delphi

Sing it Fly, you're preaching to the choir baby!

Do you mean 1950 - 1957 models?

I like to call it TexAss. I do miss it. Plano is not Dallas, so compared to that it's Redneck, Rich Redneck, but Redneck all the same.

Hey watch it now, I'm kinda like a redneck, from 10 - 20 years old, I grew up in TexASS.

Are you copying me? Did you shave your beard off too and now letting it grow back? Stop picking on Plano, EDS, JCPenny and Frito Lay are headquarted there.

Trust me Bob, quantity/frequency have a lot to do with it too. Just ask Delta Force79. Oh yeah I love that emoticon!

PCS raises hand for the answer - Forest Ranger or Smokey Bear.

To me as long as Fly has accepted them and put them out for a vote, I will vote for whatever I feel are the best ones. End of story.

Women are like buses, wait 10 minutes, another one will come along!

Resistance is futile!

The real question is, what is her issue?

She's near sighted, she said she thought that was your face. :AH-HA_wink: Hey Plano is not Denton. Just ask Ross Perot.

Yeah I grew up near Funky Town! Plano, TexAss to be exact! 2005 EquinoxLS it's always nice to move into a new house. I have been thinking about moving across the state line into Chester County, PA. I want to be Camino's neighbor and park my FWD cars where he can see them!

I was at Costco last Sunday, at the Christiana Mall. Did you know they have a program there now where you can order cars through Costco. I saw the ad on the wall but didn't have time to look at it, but I will the next time I'm there.

I just want to know what Grumpy said afterwards?

Are you a farmer?

A crown?

Yup, it's all those damn BOOMERS!

Don't fondle your clutch, you'll go blind! :rotflmao:

I always loved Canadians. I love Canadians who buy GM products even more!

Come on now, you guys told me that just having the Camaro back on Zeta was the best thing since sliced bread. Is the bread kind of dry now, or are you just Fair Weather Camaro fans?

Toyota surpassed GM in sales, but what if? Edward Lapham | Automotive News / May 1, 2007 - 11:51 am / It's been a week since we learned that Toyota nudged past General Motors to become the world's No. 1 automaker in the first quarter. Since then, not much has changed. The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. I know, I've checked. In autodom, factories are still building cars and trucks, and dealers are still selling them, although not as many as they might like. I know, I've checked. The price of gasoline has continued to climb and is now more than $3 a gallon in most U.S. markets. I know, I've paid it. There has been the predictable patter in print, on the Web and in other electronic media. From Toyota, the new No.1: Aw, shucks, we feel blessed to be so successful in the world's greatest industry, which has so many strong, wonderful competitors. From GM, the former No. 1: Hey, it's OK because now we're going to concentrate on profitability and increasing shareholder value. From commentators galore: We saw this coming; it was inevitable; GM is doomed. What if? But the most intriguing thought came from one of my colleagues who claims Toyota wouldn't have grabbed the global sales crown if GM hadn't killed Oldsmobile. His rationale is that even in the yuckiest years, Olds dealers sold enough cars and trucks that, if thrown on top of the sales heap, would have been sufficient for GM to keep the title. It's a seductive thought. After all, Toyota only nosed out GM by some 90,000 units, 2.35 million to 2.26 million. Admittedly, the math is a stretch. In 2000 -- the year GM announced it would whack Oldsmobile -- dealers sold 289,172 Olds cars and trucks. One quarter of that is 72, 293, still not enough to carry the day. A year earlier, dealers sold 352,197 Oldsmobiles. One-fourth of that is 88,049, which would make the global sales battle a tossup. Of course, you need to discount that raw total to account for former Olds customers -- especially employee buyers -- who switched to other GM brands. Then you need to add back the number of Olds buyers who switched to Toyota, Lexus or Scion. (This is getting to be a complicated what-if story problem, isn't it?) Another number Let me throw in one more number: The $2 billion that GM is said to have paid dealers and lawyers to make the Oldsmobile franchise go away. If that $2 billion had been used for something else -- like, say, product development -- might it have meant incrementally more sales in North America or elsewhere? Honestly? Probably not, because GM still has too many brands to feed. I know, I've checked.

Pontiac sold 28 Sunfires?

You should of taken a pic of it and had Fly put it in the 2008 C&G calendar.

No, I saw them, I just like those Red, White and Blue pics!
