This was not the reason for AH-HA leaving the web insidergig. He himself said so. Croc, just some advise, I'd check the facts before drawing conclusions, especially one's that rtun contrary to something AH-HA himself said.

Well, if someone joking says, "Ah, a frat boy, eh?" and one retorts with "No. Fraternity member. Would you call a country a ####?"...not a good intro.

Wait...are you telling me this guy likes GM cars? I didn't gather that from his posts...

Honestly? The IS' design is sullied by those ridiculously oversized RX300 mirrors. Seeing it on the road in person is worse.

Never. Don't feel the need. However, a friend of mine got wasted, passed out standing up leaning against a dumpster behind a KFC while his pants were down around his ankles, subsequently making brown in them, and then puked all over his own car.

Edmunds Dicks it up Again Date Posted: 03-21-2006 CLEARWATER - Edmunds.com has once again demonstrated a dire lack of understanding. In a recent news blurb regarding General Motors' decision to withhold the typical discounts and high incentives on the new 2007 Cadillac Escalade line, the California-based JAVA popup repository remarked about the sport utility's greater power, fuel economy, and level of standard equipment, including never-before-offered features all offered at no increase to the previous model year's price. However, in the closing summary line, editors chose to emphasize an inherent lack of value with the statement, "don't look for any bargains at the dealership." Automotive analysts and linguists alike ponder at what definition of 'bargain' Edmunds.com chooses to base their conclusions as it is generally accepted that offering more costly equipment and improvements on a vehicle that does not itself increase in MSRP would be considered a relative bargain. Some theorize that Edmunds.com may be attempting to poke fun at itself with this satirical commentary, or perhaps attempting to be wholly ironic in that the publication has long argued that General Motors should sell vehicles that don't require massive incentives and cashback offers. What this means to you: If you want a luxury sport utility with great value, consider Cadillac's new Escalade line. If you need a good laugh, visit Edmunds.com, but only after upgrading ActiveX controllers and downloading the latest software from Quicktime, Shockwave, and JAVA.

By "such products as the 2007 GS 450h and the 2006 IS 350," don't they mean simply "the 2007 GS 450h and the 2006 IS 350"? I'd love to take an LX470 around a hairpin. And die.

I'm not clear on that, but I've heard two things. Of course, most of the Navy's A-3 and USAF's B-66s (same basic jet) were destroyed. I believe the last A-3s in Navy service were retired in 1991. Development units in California wanted to keep their remaining A-3s as testbed aircraft and a Vice Admiral in charge at the time - being a former Skywarrior navigator - allowed them. There was some convoluted agreement amongst the Navy, Westinghouse, Raytheon, Hughes, and Thunderbird Aviation about who was to keep what active, for what, with what money, and where under different 'bailment' agreements in which the contractors would use the jets for testing and research. Unfortuntately, some of the planes were lost in the process as firms lost the need for them, needed funds for other projects, etc. Hughes did use an A-3 for F-15 radar software testing in the early 90s and this Skywarrior actually had an F-15's nose section grafted onto it. The jets owned by Westinghouse were sold to Thunderbird, who transferred them to Hughes when they went belly-up, and when Hughes sold off their aeronautics companies to Raytheon, Raytheon acquired them all in addition to its own. I have absolutely no idea how many, etc., but apparently Raytheon Systems still operates their A-3s out of Van Nuys Airport in California.

Haha. Well, I'll gladly take you for a spin in the Aurora. Let's just say it may be something just as nice on a smaller scale. No promises, but I'm hoping.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind for something if something I think may happen sometime soon does, in fact, happen. Cryptic, eh?

No, its As the Gears Turn.

Its a better plan than Bricklin who, as said, is a moron. No one is stupid enough to sink that much money into building standalone dealerships to sell chintzy, unknown, poorly-designed cars from a country with a questionable public image. Too many people have seen Tucker and seen a Daewoo up close.

I love Buicks. I really do. But this is simply a lousy-looking car. Of all colors, white? No thanks.

The DeVille/DTS has been exhibiting mass ownage over the tired Town Car since 2000 at least. As old as the body on a Town Car is, so is its interior, feature content (or lack thereof), and design. Old, old, old. Plus, there are way too many cheesy Town Car Supa' Stretch limos around. I'm sure I'm not the only sick of these cars.

No, I am a fraternity member. I'm not on welfare, I'm simply receiving financial assistance from the government.

I agree with this review. If you're a boring middle-aged woman, the ES is your chariot, milady.

For the record, the Boneyard is part of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tuscon, Arizona. Besides the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMRAC) - aka the Boneyard - Davis-Monthan is responsible for training A-/OA-10 pilots. About 5,000 at any given time, mostly Cold War relics either obsolete, supplanted by new models, or - as is the case with the B-52s - condemned to the Boneyard by US/Soviet nuclear treaties. Heh. Varies by aircraft. The Stratofortresses cost ~$30million when new in the mid-50s, F-4 Phantom IIs (second pic) cost around $18.4mil per and the Tomcats (also in that pic) ran about $38 million. Scrap or whatever they can get for them. Some airframes have infinite value... One of several things. For those destined to be scrapped, the airframes are first 'demilitarized' which involves removing all weapons sytems, electronics, and anything else of intrinsic military/national security value. Many times (as is the case with B-1s housed at Davis-Monthan), the airframes are cannibalized to provide spare parts for active units' aircraft.Some planes stored here are sold to foreign nations with various levels of demilitarization. A few are even obtained by civilians; an Air and Space Magazine article years ago showed an AH-1 Cobra, UH-1 Huey, and the majority of an A-4 Skyhawk owned and (except for the A-4) operated by a gentleman, albeit stripped of all warfighting capabilities. Also, some planes (especially fighters and trainers) end up as target drones and carry the 'Q' designator in front of their service one, i.e. QF-106. Speaking of which, the Convair F-106 Delta Dart illustrates a true 'circle of life' for a military airframe. Introduced in 1959, it was our premier front-line interceptor for almost two decades. It never saw combat and was never exported, though. F-15s replaced them starting in the 1970s and the F-106 continued to serve in ANG units until 1988 when many of the were converted to drones (QF-106). The last one was shot down in 1998, effectively drawing its service to a close. See above. Scrapping and reselling is very lucurative. Ask your local chop shop. The method of scrapping some of the larger aircraft is interesting. Typically, the wings are sheered off first, then the empennage, then the fuselage itself is sectioned into smaller pieces. The way its done seems very symbolic if you're an aviation buff like me and also saddening./

Bob, which color do you fancy more, white or black?

GM had such a wide variety of systems, I think its hard to just say "this was the first DIC."

Hey, take it to PM or AIM if necessary. C'mon.

For the love of Josh, Croc...seriously. This is the last Joshdamn time I tell you. I swear to Josh...

Corollas are still rather missive when it comes to 'performance.' Absurd body roll, awkward seating position, tiny steering wheel, and $h!ty tires exacerbate an already lame car.

This article sucks. I could point out the flaws, but I have better things to do.

So is this... ...but it also keeps your drinks cold. Nissan Cube and Scion xB doesn't.

I'm waiting to see the grille because, well, Maxima. ugh.
