With all that has happened to me in the past two years... especially in the first 2 1/2 months of 2007... I need to find a way to relax. My mind spins faster than an NOSed S2000 engine peddle to the metal. I find it very difficult to clear my mind. I'm starting to make mistakes... very simple mistakes... often. The constant mental distraction is.... well... distracting. Any advice you guys might have could be helpful.

I would like a CTS diesel as described in the article so that I could have a great looking, great performing car that could run completely on BioDiesel. Advantages: 1. greater range; I assume they wouldn't change the fuel tank, they almost never do. I can get 360miles out of a tank on the CTS now. 700-800 miles to a tank would be awesome! 2. Not burning fossil fuels; biodiesel doesn't release any new carbon into the atmosphere. My vehicle becomes as close to carbon neutral as one can get. 3. Not burning foreign oil; My partner and 2 of this brothers already served in the middle east. I don't want them to have to return. 4. Longevity of the engine; diesels require a fuel filter change every 50k miles or so and are known to last hundreds of thousands of miles. Fuel filter change costs about as much as an oil change. Hybrids require a battery change every 100k miles or so. Costs = about $2,000. How many 300k mile Pruises are there out there? $6000 in battery changes to do 300k miles? No thanks.

Onstar only captures a "snapshot" of your current information and only when you give them permission to do so. If you're on the the phone with and OnStar rep, you'll sometimes be asked to allow them to updated your vehicle information. The maintenance monitor service they offer is just a once a month snapshot.

It's not the onstar that does that. There is a black box in many cars today. I don't know if GM does this though.

Not everything is based on money.

you mean like who we can marry when we can die whether or not to have an abortion amongst other things....

compromise?

because a special prosecutor can ask any question he wants..... he's a modern day witch hunter.

still waiting for my CTS diesel and Hybrid E85 burning Avalanche

No he doesn't. Captain Sulu is teh ghey!

Actually, I was saying that this means that Newt isn't being a hypocrite.....in just this one case.

An extra $50-$100 a month on a mortgage payment can knock 10 years or more off a mortgage....

Newt never had to testify before a judge on if he had an affair...and therefor never had the opportunity to lie about it under oath. Tales of Newt's affairs are a numerous as Bill's.

Like a rock?

You need to post pics so we can start a poll on if "bathroom guy" was right or not.

Toyota: Moving Forward.... if you push it down a hill.

Biodiesel is an alternative to fossil diesel..... and *all* diesels built after about 1996 are automatically flex fuel.

Toyotas don't need things like engines! They're the ultimate vehicle! It's companies like GM who still produce cars with such antiquated technology such as pistons, valves, and cylinders. </toyota PR dept>

first car I fell in love with? When I was 3 years old my grandmother had a 1979 Olds Custom Cruiser diesel. I loved the "wacka wacka" sound when it was running. It was my job to tell her when the "Wait to Start" light was out. First car I fell in love with and said I'd own one day? 1994 Cutlass Supreme Convertible.

also to be found at one of the local Pittsburgh gay bars......

Isn't the Fridgeline outselling the Dodge Ram this year?

I can understand that..... we just do it better.

there are some gay bars here in pittsburgh where you can get those too.... be careful....

Damnit... OCN did you get a pic of that Pink and Oceanmist green Dodge we saw at Hershey?

I sooooo need more detail.....
