  3. Happy to provide coverage, but don't get your hopes up for this show. I've seen the schedule and it looks like a bust.
  4. My original flight got canceled, but because I travel so much I am one of those "elite" members or something so I get priority rebooking. I arrived in Chicago around 1pm yesterday. The CR-V actually does very well. I'm rather impressed with that little Civic Wagon on Stilts' capabilities. yeah, still want to get an Avalanche.... not there yet.
  5. Like men who feel they should be able to travel in any weather?
  6. Still wanna talk to you sometime about how you set rates and what going rates seem to be.
  7. that's what she said!
  8. Subaru isn't the only one with AWD ya know. Get a Saab 9-3x, the upcoming Buick Regal, CPO Vue Redline, Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan AWD, or a Bravada/Rainier/9-7x with AWD even.

    this is why we have DB problems.... cause I have to delete threads like this and it leaves big holes in the DB files :/
  10. I was doing research today and I'm shocked.. SHOCKED... that Honda never offered a plow prep package for the CR-V
  11. the typos in this thread make baby Jesus cry
  12. Either that or he was hitting on you....
  13. Do the "usual suspects" build alcohol burners like Ford and GM?
  14. Great! That really opens up possibilities in my search. Thanks guys!
  15. Cool. Camino mentioned a while ago that if I was going to plow with an Avalanche, I should get a 2500... that's why I was going that route. Edit: I would just be an extra money making thing in the winter if I ever leave the CubeLand day job I'm in right now.
  16. Do I dare put a snow plow on a 1500?
  17. yeah, I've notice that too. All of the 2500 seem to come in white.
  18. I've resumed my search for an Avalanche... preferably a 2500 so I can put a plow on it.
  19. Chinese made snow blowers.
  20. That's what you call a provocative pose?

    Where is there the requirement that we be the sole cause? What if we are just a catalyst? Ice cores So why wouldn't we try and minimize our impact on environmental balance?

    Here is the premise of climate change theory broken down to the simplest points. Fact: Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas, this isn't in dispute. We know that carbon dioxide will trap heat in the atmosphere that would otherwise escape into space. Fact: We are pumping millions of tons of carbon up from the ground where it has been trapped for millenia outside the natural CO2/O2 cycle. Fact: We are converting that carbon into carbon dioxide and delivering it to the atmosphere at a tremendous rate. Again, millions and millions of tons a day. Fact: We know that even mild temperature changes can have drastic effects on weather patterns. A 2 degree change in ocean surface temperature is the difference between a category 3 and category 5 hurricane. I'll give you that we are not done fully developing the theory... but nearly everything so far points to the results being very very bad if we don't reverse course now. I've not seen it so far, but has there been any "good" to climate change that isn't also accompanied with a "bad"? Has there been a "good" at all? Personally, I'd rather not see the "end" of this experiment. If you deny the above facts and still claim that climate change is still "just a theory", then yes, you do in fact deserve that tinfoil hat.
