  1. What are the RX's sales since May 2008 when the Enclave was released?
  2. And the CTS outsells the IS. Way to compare non-similar vehicles. The ES is lipstick on the Camry pig. The Lacrosse is the Malibu <already excellent in it's own right> with all the lessons learned from the CTS. If Toyota isn't worried about the Lacrosse, so much the better. Let them get caught with their pants down.
  3. If the worst that could happen, does happen, at least I know the country would be in competent hands.
  4. "I don't know what weapons will be used in world war III, but world war IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein
  5. Does it run on moonshine now? HAH... I kill me.... *cough* Did someone say something? :alcoholic:
  6. This graph shows the electoral college score over time counting only those states where one candidate has a lead of at least 5%. The states where it is very close don't count here. With one exceptional period, it is possible to draw a pretty clear straight line through the middle of the blue line from mid-April until now. The exceptional period occurred in the last two weeks of September, when McCain got a small bounce from Palin's incendiary convention speech, which really fired up the base. However, when the bounce faded, as all convention bounces do, Obama continued on his upwards trajectory. If you compare 2008 to 2004 (on the Electoral coll. page) you see that this year looks completely different from that one. Other than a two-day blip on June 24-25, 2004, when Kerry briefly touched 300 EVs, neither candidate ever was even close to 270 EVs in the solid states although Kerry was above 270 counting the "barely states" until his Swift Boat was torpedoed. So what's with the nearly straight line upwards for Obama? Charlie Cook and many other nonpartisan experts have said that with 80% of the population saying the country is on the wrong track, this was going to be an election about Barack Obama. People clearly want change, but they were not yet sure if Obama was up to the job. After 18 months of campaigning and countless primary and general election debates, people are getting to know Obama and are beginning to feel he is a good man in a storm. His calm behavior during the bailout bill period--and McCain's erratic behavior--helped Obama a lot (see graph). Slowly but surely people are coming to believe he can do the job, and that's all he needed.
  7. Probably just out of date.
  8. A local T.V. anchor tries to ambush Biden. She basically asks if Obama is a marxist and then quotes Marx himself. Half way through the interview, Biden goes "Srsly1?!!?" Then the anchor parries with "But we'd be socialists... like Sweden."
  9. "Kids, in the next chapter we're going to be studying creationism. We'll be throwing away the scientific method for this one, we'll come back to it in the chapter following."
  10. I have no problem with creationism being taught in schools as long as it's in World Religions and not Biology. No matter your feelings on the subject, Creationism isn't Biology. I wouldn't expect to be taught Calculus functions in a 19th Century Literature class, so why should Creationism be taught in Biology?
  11. Amazon.com and Overstock.com and Buy.com will all ship it for free if your order is large enough. Target will sometimes as well. With those three websites, there is pretty much nothing you can't buy instead of going to the big box. My goal this year is to do all of my holiday shopping online.
  12. My account lasted all of about 10 minutes on that board.
  13. The problem with the LX cars is that they keep coming out with new ones, but the old ones haven't changed much or just get canceled. Can anyone here tell the difference between a 2005 300c and a 2009 300c without putting pictures up side by side? This is a car that if they wanted to keep sales up, they should have designed two visual updates ready to release in quick succession in the years following initial release. Additionally, they made a huge mistake producing the down market 300. There is no aire of exclusivity when you can pick up a 300 for $19,999 + tax/tags/delivery any day of the week. I'm not one to advocate resurrecting dead brands, but Plymouth would have been useful here if Chrysler really wanted to sell a budget full sizer.

    LOL pics

    you need to post more in the pics thread.
  15. Fiat... 124 maybe?
  16. Why would a $79 VCR use a Chrysler V8? :scratchchin:
  17. not if you're as curious about sodomy as your avatar suggests....
  18. Release is now delayed
  19. we're still in the $2.80s around here.
  20. I wonder if the computer lets out a little digital snicker when it calculates that 1 McCain landslide scenario.
  21. Wholesale is down to $1.479. Theoretically, that should equate to about $1.90 at the pump.
  22. That would be the UK Saab 9-3, Vauxhaull Vectra, and Cadillac BLS........ hence... ready to go.
