It's a good idea.. my pets are spayed/neutered.. doesn't make sense not to. Now if they would require this for humans, that would be even better, reduce the overpopulation problems..

This sounds pretty cool, esp. if it will be offered with a manual.. I'm sure this is worlds better than my '84 Escort diesel was... I'd buy a diesel again, esp. if I had a longer commute, and if I could get one that's loaded..

Yes, those rear projection DLP TVs offer a lot of bang for the buck compared to LCD and plasma...I bought my Toshiba 62 inch DLP 1080p about 19 months ago...the price has come way down since then...still love it, though...

Sounds like someone had a wild ride...too bad he didn't have a video camera and make a YouTube flick out of it..

I was a light once and a suit in a 300ZX behind me was picking his nose so agressively it looked like he had his entire hand up his nose..

I've thought of doing it..my '00 Grand Cherokee Laredo has almost 80k on it..thought about looking for a low mileage '04 Overland (top-of-the-line model, last year of the 2nd gen design)...

Cool land yacht, '68.. a buddy of mine in high school back in the '80s had a sweet '76 Electra 225 coupe--bright red w/ white 1/2 vinyl top and red interior...what a boat.

I have the new car itch myself... and a new job starting in 2 weeks.. leaving the relative security of a corporate cubicle (with 4 weeks vacation, good salary, 4 1/2 years there, bored to death) for a hired gun 1 yr contract job at a higher rate that looks like it will be a lot more fun...(in a completely different vertical--going from insurance P&C software to aviation mapping software). So I'll put off buying something until I'm sure the contract is going to fly, then I may look at getting something else..(since I've had my Jeep 7 years and almost 80k miles, I'd like to have something new for a daily driver..not sure if I should wait on the '08 CTS or find something else).

Interesting...too bad GM India's products aren't spicy like vindaloo...

It's the same as when I got my '87 GT when I was a teenager...Mustangs are just plain fun, even at age 37 (which I will be in a few weeks). Great styling, plenty of power, relatively cheap. I saw a black '07 GT convertible w/ red & black interior on the local Ford lot Sunday...good thing it was Sunday, if I had test driven it, I probably would have bought it (I still would like to have another Mustang sooner or later)....and if I hadn't resigned from my job yesterday (starting a new contract gig in two weeks)...

I work with a lot of Canadians that are always talking about their hometown, Regina..they pronounce it such that it rhymes with a certain female body part...

The longest with an older car was in my Mustang GT which was 10 years old at the time with 45k miles--drove from Ann Arbor to Colorado Springs (about 1200 miles), almost 10 years ago to the day.. since then, I've taken a few road trips of some length, but only with late model/low mileage cars. I just don't trust higher mileage/older cars not to break, so I probably wouldn't take my Jeep on a long trip now (it is 7 years old, almost 80k miles).

Looks like a kid with a goofy haircut...

They say we (Xers) are one of the smaller generations, numbers-wise... And I've heard of Gen Y only going to 1998, and those born in '99 and after are 'millenials' (instead of Gen Z)... I don't know..

I'm an Xer (1970), but having been raised by 'Silent Generation'/'Greatest Generation' parents and with two older siblings that are baby boomers, I've been exposed to stuff from past generations that I've come to like (movies, music, cars, etc), in addition to liking things of my generation...

I'm starting to get the old-school RWD BOF V8 American land yacht itch myself lately...I'm thinking an '03-04 Mercury Marauder, P71 Crown Vic Interceptor, or late model Town Car would be fun to have..

The Roadmasters of Europe Great article about an interesting man and his collection....the idea of Buick Roadmaster wagons in Rome is mind-blowing... though I did see a Tahoe across the street from the Colloseum when I was in Rome.

Ideally, I'd like to see the coupe/convertible called Riviera and the sedan called Electra. But obviously Buick marketeers want a new, fresh name with no history..to go after new buyers.

Cool... it would be nice to see a family-sized convertible again..been a long time since there has been one. A coworker and I have been talking about this this week---about the lack of family-sized convertibles..he and his wife want a convertible, but they have 2 infants..they've looked at the Mini, 4dr Wrangler, Eos, G6, Sebring, Solara, and a used A4. The Solara was the only one they have found that had a big enough back seat to accomodate two rear-facing child seats and big enough trunk for a stroller, etc.

Wild...no structural integrity at all..that video must have inspired GM with to make the Astro and U-vans so collapsible.

Least favorites-- white, bright yellow, orange, bright green (i.e. I don't care for the current Charger's 1970-style colors), bright red. Favorites--dark blue, dark charcoal gray, dark red, silver...though the biggest frustration with dark colors is how they show every scratch.... I do like some greens--there are several olive greens that Jeep has used in recent years that I like, and a really sharp bright apple green that was on the Avalanche a couple years ago that I like. I like copper and bronze colors, I esp. like the color the Enclave prototype was shown in. I also like light silver blues that I usually see on BMWs and Mercedes..not much of a fan of teal, esp. after Ford overdosed on it..it seems like 75% of all Fords from around 1993-1995 were teal. I do like black, but probably wouldn't own a black car for the maintainance issues..hard to keep a black car looking good. I like black specifically on performance cars and luxury cars.

They won't need one, since the BPG dealers already have the Enclave and Acadia.

Yeah, it can definitely get gray, cold and damp there in the winter...I spent 6 years in the Cleveland area, 3 years in Ann Arbor, Mi and a year in Chicago, so I know gray and damp...but still, sometimes I miss some things about Ohio, esp. in the spring and fall, the roads, and being geographically closer to family...

Heh-heh...I did the Speedo on the beach thing in Italy a few years ago, but I'm not tanned, ripped or chisled...I'm pale and have a physique like a slightly thinner Tony Soprano..(no hairy back, though)

I went to Ohio for the holiday weekend to visit family...hot and humid (felt more like July weather than May!), lots of sun, some heavy thunderstorms. Some highlights-- I really liked my '07 Mercury Grand Marquis GS rental from Hertz... it was a lot of fun driving a V8, RWD, BOF old-school American land yacht...both on I-70/I-77 and on eastern Ohio's fantastic smooth, low-traffic winding hilly backroads (state routes and county roads around the Amish country of my youth)... it handled better than I thought it would on the rolling, twisty roads... (At the rental car counter, the guy tried to persuade me to take a Montego or Five Hundred, but I had specifically reserved a Grand Marquis). Hertz at the Columbus airport also had two Mustang Shelby GT-Hs on the lot.. I had my Mustangs ('69 351 Sportsroof, '87 GT) out for a few drives, but had to do those early or late, not much fun driving without air conditioning (esp. the '69--black vinyl interior). Went to a Tim Horton's for breakfast. After years of hearing my Canadian coworkers talk about them, I had to check one out...pretty good donuts. Spent some time in downtown Columbus yesterday, hadn't been there much in years except for the airport. Downtown looked good...also went out to the 'burbs and met an old friend for lunch in Dublin (Columbus suburb). Home prices around Columbus were eye-opening (much cheaper than the Denver metro area)...
