2007 GMC Sierra HD images!
Why do each of these pics look like the picture of the truck was taken in a studio and the background was added later in photoshop? There is just something not right about the lighting, or something..... it's just off. the truck is very handsome for being a big brute.

In Depth: 2007 Chrysler Aspen
People make fun of the Ass-pen because Chrysler can't move Durangos as it is. The Asspen is really just a Durango De lux. We're not making fun of it for platform sharing, we're making fun of it for platform sharing badly on a platform that already has sales issues.

What's the deal with hydrogen?
I'm curious what you think a "reasonable cost" is. I dunno how much it'd cost to convert a gasoline car to run hydrogen, but it can't be cheap.

Do 438,000 people die each year from any one of those activities? Does the treatment of farsightedness cost in the same ballpark as advanced chemotherapy or lung removal?

Honda Unveils Next-Gen Clean Diesel
It's a better catalytic converter for an existing engine to meet CA emissions <which I'm sure will be changes so as to not allow this engine>. How much more can it really cost?

That doesn't address the massively increased health care costs. Personally, I think anyone who smokes should see an automatic 1000% surcharge in their health insurance premiums and a reduction by 50% of the cost covered by an employer. Anyone without health insurance should be ineligible for any "free" treatment of smoking related ailments.

Rather than just summarily discounting it. Explain why they are not parallel? If I choose to burn a substance that is hazardous to my health and the health of those around me, it's my right isn't it? Does it really matter if I'm burning said substance between my lips or in the engine of a 1957 Buick?

uh... sorry, without a link I'm calling Lung cancer, asthma, emphesima are all faaaar more epidemic than Liver cirrhosis. and even a worst case alcohol involved scenario, a deadly vehicular accident, will still cost less <financialy> than long term cancer treatment.
