I was 15 in the summer '90... so I had no choice but to ride my 10-speed around The following summer I had my permit, but still rode my bike to check out the new cars... that December though I got my license - geez, I can't believe this year will be 20 years since I first got my license!!!

I remember riding my 10-speed about 3-4 miles from home to the local GMC dealership to check out the 1990 and then 1991 new model year Sierras. I still have some 35mm prints of the pictures I would take of these new trucks (was really into the '90 454SS pickup too at the time, and have pictures of that too somewhere).

Missed last year's show since the wife was pregnant and was due in July - she didn't want me 2 1/2 hours away "just in case" But so far nothing's in the way this year!!

My wife was recently in Madrid for a work conference (6/12-17) and loved the weather while there - high 80s, sunny with bright blue skies, no humidity (or very low), breezy with a lot of trees for shade. She go back in a heartbeat of she could!

I've lived anywhere from 5 miles to 20 miles away from the Delaware River all of my life and have never visited for swimming reasons But 800 feet from the ocean and only visited once??? I know people that live 75+ miles away from the Jersey shore that visit it more than you do

In South America, however, it’s another story as the Detroit brand has given birth to a new Chevy Cobalt that is being revealed in pre-production form at this week’s Buenos Aires Motor Show (June 17 to 26) in Argentina. Developed by General Motors Technical Center in South America, the four-door sedan Cobalt Concept is slated to enter production within the next year. GM’s press blurb doesn’t mention anything about the Cobalt’s underpinnings, but judging from the size of the car, it appears to be based on the Chevy Sonic (Aveo in Europe) saloon. GM said that the Cobalt will be sold globally offering buyers a choice of four cylinder engines ranging in displacement from 1.3 to 1.8 liters, with automatic and manual transmissions, running on ethanol (flex fuel), gasoline or diesel. The specific concept model is equipped with an aero kit comprising of front and rear aprons, side skirts and a discreet boot lid spoiler, plus 17-inch alloy wheels in 255/45 R17 rubber and twin exhaust outlets. The interior has also been upgraded with plush two-tone leather seats, chrome trim, twin sunroof and even an infotainment system with LCD screens integrated into the front headrests.

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club when a cell phone on a bench rings. One of the men answers. MAN: Hello? WOMAN: Hi, honey. Are you at the club? MAN: Yes. WOMAN: I'm at the shop now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000. Is it ok if I buy it? MAN: Sure, baby. Go ahead if you like it that much. WOMAN: I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw one that I liked. MAN: How much? WOMAN: $90,000. MAN: Ok, but for that price I want it with all the options. WOMAN: Great! Oh, and one more thing. I found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it. MAN: Go ahead and bid $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go up the extra $80,000, if that's what you really want. WOMAN: See you later! I love you so much! The man hangs up. The other men stare at him, astonished. He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

I know my fire department would have hauled lines (hoses) out to the fire to put it out. They don't waste a minute to extinguish something on fire, or respond to an auto accident where they have to extracate the victim. My chief is known for getting right into the heat of the battle (no pun intended), and has been told by higher ups that he needs to let the firefighters do the job as he supervises (he's not one for standing around). Very sad that this piece of history had to burn.

Now my step-son is interested in seeing/checking out this Bonneville (not sure of the year, but it appears to be a SLE-trimmed model, figuring 1993, 1994 or 1995). The seller's text now contains more information too: Advice?

Two cows are standing in a field. One cow turns to the other and asks, "Are you worried about getting this mad cow disease that's rotting our brains?" The other cow replies, "Why should I be worried, I'm a squirrel."

Oh, he wants a Regal alright, a Grand National one Based on the pictures provided in the CL ads, he said no to the '02 Regal, '94 Roadmaster, and was so-so on the Bonneville. I also sent him ads to a '00 Intrigue GL that got his thumbs up, but lost him on a '96 88 LSS. He really wants that DTS, though I reminded him he doesn't have enough cash for that plus the extra needed for title, tags & registration, and extra for maintenance/repair items needed. The problem is that his one friend got a 2006 Ford Explorer SporTrac and has summer use of his step-dad's '99 Wrangler, so he wants something newer too (like a 2008 DTS he fell in love with Sunday night at a Caddy dealer) or something fun to play with (like the Wrangler). The good thing is that he still has time to save up money, as his driver's license test isnt't until September 8. School ends on the 20th for him and I told him to ask for more hours between his two jobs. We'll see what he ends up with. The wife loved her '00 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Sedan, so she wants him to find one of those. I told him the coupe version would be a great first car

I've been wanting to start a joke thread, mainly so I can get some really good jokes to use when needed. I'd say to keep this thread clean, as there's the R-rated section for those kinds of jokes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A gas station owner puts up a sign saying FREE SEX WITH FILL-UP. A customer pulls in, fills his tank, then asks for his free sex. The owner tells him to pick a number from one to 10 - if he guesses correctly, he'll get his sex. The buyer guesses "eight" and the proprietor says, "Sorry, no free sex this time." Later the same man and his buddy drive by. The man says, "I think that game is rigged. He doesn't give away free sex." The buddy replies, "No, it's not rigged. My wife won twice last week."

I looked up Bonnevilles (another favorite Pontiac I never got to own) and found this one, though I would say it's a '93 or '94: http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2426844033.html I like the color and the rims, looks sharp.

That's good to know, thanks! Personally, I'd like him to consider a 3800 V6-equipped W-body for their reliabilty and availability of parts. He is into the '97-'03 Grand Prix models, though it seems that many are out of his price range. I have seen a few decent '99 GT sedans going for around $3k. I've suggested to him Buick Regals of that vintage too ('98-'03), though he seems less interested in those. Here's a 2002 LS I found recently that looks to be in good shape: http://southjersey.craigslist.org/ctd/2420551626.html At least it's black - he's a Steelers fan and black & yellow are his favorite colors. I also found this '94 Roadmaster that looks good, but for some reason the only B-body he likes is the '94-'96 Impala SS (that he can't afford): http://southjersey.craigslist.org/ctd/2420698753.html However, it's as old as he is and I'm not sure he'd go for it

I originally saw this truck in January and never posted it here: ...but this past Saturday while out and about, I passed by it with a for-sale sign in the window. Saturday night went to the movies and this was parked in the parking lot: Talk about patina!!!

I meant that many here would recommend say the 3800 V6 over the Northstar V8...

http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2412894602.html My 17 y-o step-son will be getting his driver's license in early September... he has been "car shopping" for a little while now. His "wants" include the Jeep Wrangler, Cadillac DTS, and Pontiac Grand Prix ('97-'03) - and the price range he's in is around $2500 now (however I think one of the grandparents may contribute, and he recently took on a 2nd job). He sends me the DTS above that he found on CL, asking me what I think about this one. I know from here that the Northstar engine is not a recommended engine, but what other issues may this year DTS suffer from that might make this car not a great purchase? On a funny note, after the abuse I took for buying a '96 Fleetwood Brougham, I'm surprised he loves the DTS. We went out for dinner Sunday night to a Mexican restaurant that borders a Cadillac dealership. He made us go over and look at the certified used DTS ('06-'10) on the lot. I reminded him how he called my FWB a grandpa car and said that the DTS is no worse than my FWB!!

Excellent! +1 I totally concur with FOG that NDL "nailed it".

Two suggestions for you to consider... I like the white & dark (navy) blue color scheme, and though maybe boring, I like the this factory two-tone option (note NOT the colors, just the design): If you have the white in the center, with the dark blue around it, and add in a white roof, I think that would be one sharp looking rig. However, if you wanted to go for that custom two-toned look, here's another idea (substitute the red for a dark blue): I like where you are going with the "matching the El Camino" styling you posted above, but I think that would work best on a regular cab pickup, not a crew cab like the Mothertruck. However, I do like the color combo of the copper and white for the Mothertruck

Any new news on whether or not GM will sell it here in the US?
