Congrats, it only took you guys 5 months to notice I re-enabled the filter.

really? I see German.

Wow! That sport chop is HOT! GM is on a roll with me lately. First the CTS wagon and coupe (and the SRX for my partner), then the Terrain or Equinox (for my partner), then the Caprice if it makes it here in civilian form, and then this Regal GS idea. GM, if you build the Regal GS to look like this, you'll officially have at least one vehicle from each division that would be on my shopping list!

Ya'll simma down now. If you want to fight about this, take it to the political forum.

Just a reminder to submit pics for the 2010 Cheers and Gears member's rides calendar.

There is a manual Riviera out there. Saw a conversion done a bunch of years back.

The overall global warming that was causing the polar ice caps to melt at a higher rate dumped massive quantities of freshwater into the North Atlantic and ended up shutting down the billion gigawatt heatpump called the Gulf Stream. The effect was substantially cooler temperatures in most of Europe. So yes, I can see why the term "Global Warming" would confuse people. "Global Climate Change" is a more semantically accurate term.

2.8l turbo from the SRX

Zing!

Officially Official: The Buick Regal returning! As part of Buick GMC’s strategy to engage and listen to its dealers, more than 1,000 dealers this week will be the first to learn the name of Buick’s next mid-size sport sedan will be the Buick Regal. The announcement was made at the Buick GMC dealer business meeting. Discussion: Buick Regal returns to Buick's North American lineup.

I"m sure it's not from lack of use..... but from being out in the weather all the time. Warm, damp places will do that ya know....

Cadillac quietly un-refreshes their logo Cadillac updated their logo in 1999 to coincide with the new Art & Science look. One of the fatalities with that refresh were the ducks which had been part of the logo since at least 1902. With no announcement at all, they've updated it once again. Discussion: Cadillac un-refreshes logo

That's what 12 hours of turnpike driving will do to you......

Talk to Chris Doane about it. I'm sure you'll get a rather emphatic response.

Good thing we don't have any of those types around here....

G3 is dead and the Aveo still sells nicely. It may not have the best overall powertrain, but it does ok and is styled attractively compared to many other small cars. If you want to talk about model missteps that hurt the overall lineup, you can make another thread for the Accord Spirit GT, ZDX, Fridgeline, and RL.

Absolutely. The video I have is of the paddy wagons and the tour buses.

I've got some video that I know you'll appreciate GMT. I have shots of the Mack trucks firing up and taking off for the end of show parade.

I'll post more pics tomorrow evening after I get back from The East Broad Top.

I got this video of an Oldsmobile Curved Dash being started up: And this video of a Detroit Electric being started up:

I didn't get many pics this time around because my camera was acting up..... so I concentrated on getting shots of logos and hood ornaments.

Cheers and Gears goes Back to the Futurliner! Hershey, PA - Today I visited the AACA meet in Hershey PA. The last time I managed to get out there was in 2006. In both instances the General Motors Futureliner was there. The first time I visited, I was unable to get up into the cab. This time would be different.

I like the look in the steel wheels on that car. It looks purposeful in a "don't F with me" sorta way.

Had bad insomnia last night, so I'm running late. I am getting underway now and should be there by 12:30.
