uh... being worked on in the way of removing the links to the posts that didn't make it. some posts from yesterday afternoon were lost.

I'm trying to help mom find a nice used Avalanche to replace the Aurora.

I still don't get it. I've talked to people who are shopping for a new vehicle anyway and they want to get a new CUV like a CRV "to save money on gas". They are coming from a 3800 powered Regal that is in perfectly fine shape. I just want to scream.

Gold standard has nothing to do with it. It's the incoherent fiscal policy of the last two generations that have done it to us.

Who said the 1.4 would be for everyone? The 1.4 would probably propel the Cruze, the HHR replacement, and anything below that. We're not going to see it in a Malibu or Impala.

If you click "View new posts" and nothing comes up, just use the drop down and select "this week". We're looking into some site upgrades in the near future, but after the past few days, lets get steady on our feet first.

Volvo XC70 competitor

I told you months ago. He's in the trunk of a Daewoo Leganza with over 100k miles sitting at the back of the used car section of an undisclosed Mitsubishi dealer. You'll never find him.

Oh geeze... not you too?? We could have stuck with the gold standard and watched as Europe and Asia wooshed passed us in the global economy.

From 8:30am till 10:30am EST for an oil change, tire rotation, and air filter replacement. We hope these general maintenance items will improve the performance of the board. Thank you for your patience. Oldsmoboi - Server Master

Again. 3 gay guys + luggage + 900km trip across Germany and France + Alps + 100hp VW Touran <same size as a Mazda 5> We did just fine at 130kmh.

GM is behind in the US. The Vectra and Corsa just need to be shipped here.

We're having database problems. This is internal to C&G. Expect to see a downtime announcement soon.

Get back on topic. Only warning.

We're looking at it.

Globalization is a means of enriching the rich at the expense of the middle class, but a good part of the blame lies with the unions forcing higher wages for laborers. I hear about the money a lot of these GM workers are bringing down and I'm thinking to myself "why would anyone go to 4 years of college to be an I.T. worker and get saddled with that debt when I could make more as a production line worker?"

If you're filling it with sand, yes.

I think we'll see at least one, possibly two Lambdas cut.

I'm still waiting for the stuff that would make PCS come in here to tap dance on Camino's head..... it sounds like Saturn is in greater danger than Pontiac, and that the Opels originally thought to be on their way are now stalled.... nothing popcorn worthy so far....

bad point, the dollar was much stronger then. In terms of dollars, $53 billion sounds like a lot. In Euros, it's cheap.

The thing is, this was a borderline hostile takeover of Anheuser-Busch. It was an unsolicited, unwelcome bid.

Tundra is on pace to do 150,000 this year....

Globalized corporations are inefficient in terms of energy usage. The quote was referring to that rather than dollar efficiency. What has changed is the cost of the oil which was previously being artificially held down in the Asian countries. It's a longer term phase out, but in some places the price doubled.

FOG, the 3.6 is a really nice 6. You may very well like it.

The subsidies are being phased out. What I'm saying is the true costs were not there when the Chinese and Indian governments were picking up part of the tab. When I worked at the textile company. We would source fabric from Vietnam, ship it to Pittsburgh for cutting, ship the cut pieces to El Salvador for sewing and packaging, and then shipped back to Pittsburgh for warehousing and distribution. At $2.00 a gallon in the US and 50 cents a gallon in Asia and 75 cents per gallon in S. America, that trip might make sense. But now we're in the era of $4.00 a gallon gas in the US. Asia and S. America are easing back on their fuel subsidies. At what point does it no longer make sense???
