I imagine most here use Windows. I'm curious what percentage of Mac and Linux users we have here. Myself, I must use windows at work, but I dual boot into Ubuntu Linux when I'm at home. I just upgraded to Ubuntu - Intrepid over the weekend and it's great. Everything JustWorks™ and speed is great on this older machine.

What the hell? Wasn't this a daily driver when it was sold?

Capesize ships now go for $6365 a day, $365 above the average daily cost of crew and fuel. There is so little shipping to be done that ports around the world are filling up with empty ships - and full ships that won't unload because no letters of credit are being accepted. No shipping, no trade. No trade, no globalization.

lol... that has to be from some german language book!

Two days from now I'm heading to Germany for vacation. I'll also be inspecting the house being built. Construction is scheduled to be complete in mid-December. If the American electorate gives me the birthday gift I want this time around, I'll be staying till at least January 20th. If not, I'll be leaving anytime after the 1st of the year. PCS, if you're in Frankfurt, be sure to wave as my ICE rushes by you on Thursday morning.

Or even More classic damn, I'm not a big fan of car based trucks, but this one is badass looking.

Something a bit more classic then?

It's even a manual!

Ford RancharSHO

I get better than that on my Chase credit card...... then again... I'm probably more solvent than GM.

Looks like the deal is off or on hold.

Well this was an '01. I understand they have a completely different V6 now.

Are these based off of unemployment figures for how many are collecting? If so... it's horribly inaccurate.

The crossfire platform was dated when Chrysler got it <it was a first gen SLK>. Kappas are better.

There is simply nothing in Chrysler's stable that would make a good addition to GM other than some Jeep models and the mini'vans. Sigma or Zeta > LX Epsilon > Sebring/Avenger Delta > Caliber/PT Cruiser Gbody has no overlap GMT-900s > Ram Theta has no overlap Kappa has no overlap Lambda has no overlap Hell, even the GMT-360s, as old as they are, are doing better than the Durango/Aspen Chrysler brings no engine technology, transmission technology <hah!>, any significant global presence GM doesn't need the capacity, doesn't need the legacy costs, doesn't need the headache

It's that so many people are more concerned with the dash material being more soothing on their ass then their regular hemeroid cream instead of whether or not the power locks/mirror/seats/radio/dashboard will continue to function properly after 25,000 miles. Sure the dash material is soft, but scratch it gently with a fingernail and see how great it looks then. My ex's Passat had the smoothest 6-cylinder this side of BMW, but it had a reliability record that would make first gen Kia's blush.

*Pushrod 3.5 liter was available to fleets at launch.

Pennsylvania. usury laws don't mean much when all you have to do is incorporate to get around them. so yes... usury laws have been repealed.

usury laws were repealed long ago.

The G8, G8 Ute, Park Ave and Caprice are already developed.

I"ve heard about that VW seat heater thing before.

DUDE!!! PLEASE!?!?! Please Please Please! We are just going back to Clinton era tax rates! Please just acknowledge this!!!

You discredit yourself with the crackpot &#036;h&#33;. Remember how we used to treat Buickman? He is a crackpot even if the occasional idea of his ideas have merit.

I thought men like you were usually called a fruit.
