  1. 'wheelies' as in getting the front wheels off the ground or do you mean tire spin? I'm used to the term 'wheelies' meaning a bicycle or motorcycle up on the back wheel...I don't see how you could do that with a car other a drag car getting the front wheels off the ground under hard acceleration...
  2. Probably a typo..there was a RWD Lucerne replacement talked about, wasn't there?
  3. I'm primarily into classic rock and blues (Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, etc), '80s rock and post-punk(U2, Def Leppard, Peter Gabriel, Bon Jovi, The Cure, Joy Division, New Order, Big Country, etc), alternative rock from my college/grad school days (Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden), and '90s-present British pop/rock (Oasis, Radiohead, Coldplay,Muse).. I do love music with plenty of electric guitar, wish I could play. But I also enjoy electronica, ambient, techno, etc...(Brian Eno, Sigur Ros, Moby, Paul Van Dyk, M83, Paul Oakenfold, William Orbit, etc) and a few other hard to categorize singers (Tori Amos, Bjork, Lyle Lovett, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen). Not really into contemporary pop tarts like Britney but I do like some of Nelly Furtado's work (Say it Right in particular). On occasion, I'll listen to some hip-hop (classic NWA, Ice Cube, Eminem), and vintage soul/R&B (Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, etc) and occasionally jazz and classical. I really can't get into country, though I do have some Johnny Cash in my collection (I love his last albums with Rick Rubin--love his cover of NIN's 'Hurt').
  4. I'm going to caucus tonite....first time..(Colorado switched from primaries to caucuses a while back).
  5. "GM, though, is not in a position to absorb the roughly 1-mpg fuel-economy penalty " 1 MPG???? That sounds like BS.
  6. I saw 2 ES300s and an ES330 in my commute home tonight..and an RX and at least a dozen Camrys and 1/2 dozen Corollas!!!
  7. Maybe Zeta is more of a philosophy than a specific platform...all that really counts is that it has the good stuff---RWD, V8, IRS..
  8. Yeah, VE is just the generational designator..it seems each time Holden has a new version of the Commodore/et al, they associate a 2 character designator...Ford AU does it with the Falcon also... doesn't necessarily mean anything about the platform...
  9. Way to go New Jersey! Enjoyed the game...watched it with a group of friends that are mostly Patriots fans, though, so they were disappointed by the result. NE just never seemed to click as a team last night.
  10. I always assumed the 'C' was for Cadillac....CTS--Cadillac Touring Sedan. So the coupe should be CTC....Cadillac Touring Coupe.
  11. Well, the Ram is obese and ugly, with nasty, cheap plastics inside...other than that...
  12. I saw a worn gray '69 Buick LeSabre 2dr this morning...haven't seen that one around here before..
  13. The article in the new Road & Track has one with a price-as-tested at over $39k!! Reading the article, I was surprised how heavy the Sti and Evo have become..they aren't little lightweight AWD toys anymore---the Sti is over 3500lbs, the Evo over 3700...
  14. Yes...a vehicle like this would be a practical alternative to an obese full-sizer for many people...

  16. Apparently PCS is all-powerful.
  17. Well, if the production Denali XT looks anything like this concept, they definitely won't be remotely 'clones'..
  18. Hmm..strange looking...GMC's Ridgeline, I guess..
  19. I saw a yellow first-gen early '80s 4dr Tercel today...
  20. Hmmm...sounds like an interesting day... I've never been skunked, but I did have a cat pee all over my pillow and head once.. (smelly).
  21. Looks like nothing that a little bondo and duct tape can't fix..
  22. Speaking of these cars, there's a '91 Olds Custom Cruiser on ebay now (listed as a Buick Roadmaster wagon)... I can't recall when I've seen one of those..
  23. I always wondered why they used different front ends on the sedan and the wagon...I remember back in the day seeing them and realizing they were different..strange.
  24. Salt...hmmm...yes, I remember that...Michigan loved to salt their roads...which is why my Bronco was all rusty underneath when I moved to Colorado in '97.
  25. 40 and sunny today in the Mile High City..going to be pretty decent here this weekend...only 3 more months to go until snow season's over...
