Yes... I think we need his comments in here. *warms up the phaser banks*

If you would like some financial advice, I'd be glad to help.

We call them RoadMonsters and ToadSmashers. The Custom Cruiser was the Custom BattleCruiser or Custom Bruiser.

I'm curious as to why the Forester is rated so low by you guys..... below the Compass?

PM me for links to the stuff that will......

That may be why they are replacing entire engines..... there may be collateral damage

This borders on schizophrenic! LaCrosse becomes Regal Saturn gets an Aura competitor Malibu stays on Epsilon 1 but will get an EL wheelbase to please former Impala owners and hopefully stick a fork in Ford instead of aiming for Honda. Alpha is getting design bits from the Kappas... which took their transmissions, rear diffs, and rear suspension from the Sigma and engines from Delta. The only parts that make sense are G6 and BLS on Alpha and the Saabs on EpII.

You don't have a driveway, you have a used car lot.

except the 2.8 seems to get the same mileage as the 3.6... which baffles me.

being on the receiving end of this recently, I advise you to keep a respectful distance. It's not right to be a "homewrecker" For her, it ends up being a "grass is greener" situation.

If you do buy one of these, buy yourself a spool of vacuum hose tubing....... I miss my '85 Toronado.... but hell it was a mess with broken vacuum hoses....

I would have liked to see GM use it's Direct Injection technology to make it's engines more efficient rather than more powerful. I'm quite happy with the power available in my current CTS and really don't see the need for a 300hp V6. I would have preferred that GM keep the power ratings the same, but used the DI to bump up the MPG quite a bit. Would anyone really have a problem with a 260hp CTS that gets 33mpg highway?

To address each of your points. They can be cost effective, your mileage may vary. MPG ratings by the EPA, new for 2008. Running the A/C drops mileage on standard cars too. They are a step in the right direction Saturn Aura Green-line, Escape Hybrid 650hp Mini-Cooper hybrid concept, Chevy Volt, Tesla Roadster So is the iPod. Look, there is nothing wrong with wanting to use less of a non-renewable fuel. Hybrids are just one of many ways to do that. I'm still waiting for my E85, Active Fuel Management, hybrid Chevy Avalanche......

you mean SULEV. There are lots of ULEVs and SULEVs... GM's 3800 is SULEV I think. Most Hybrids are SULEVs, but Ford has even gotten their Focus so clean that it also qualifies as a PZLEV. This means that a Ford Focus is cleaner when it's running than anything in 68's garage that's not running.

The only one I could picture him buying would be a 79-85 E-body.

'96s seem to have inner fender rot problems that 94s and 95s don't seem to have. Be careful.

Should be named Lumina APV

It's gotta be a *really* special Olds to lose both 68 and I.

Almost... except using wheel hub electric motors instead.

What's that you say? My vote is beige.... it's way too generic
