  1. A couple of my friends here are getting the Wii. The PS3 is an amazing machine, but the price is high (though much lower than it actually costs Sony to make it) and I don't have an HDTV here, so the greatly improved graphics will largely go unnoticed.
  2. Check Ted's newly updated code page: http://www3.sympatico.ca/tedkrygier/future.htm GMT785 - HUMMER H4 Jeep Wrangler sized Hummer No mention of timing though.
  3. Are we sure this isn't a Saturn Zafira or something?
  4. What's with all the glass pyramids?
  5. Hahaha how true.I don't really see the point of this supposedly Super Sporty SS model. It should just get a powertrain upgrade--the Equinox is way too heavy and long to be sporty in any sense. And I agree the CX9 looks excellent in the background.
  6. I think the STS refresh looking exactly like this is a good bet. The exterior is still kinda lame, but this is a quality interior.
  7. Frankly, I think the Lacrosse super is a waste of money and other resources (including time). It will only be in production for a year and a half and there still isn't much of a reason to get one over its more competent and modern rivals.
  8. It's funny that Iraqis want him back now...
  9. Hey, at least you're not stuck watching the retarded Bills... Good thing the Pats are on national TV a lot.
  10. As far as I know the next Lucerne is on Zeta, but won't be out until 2010.
  11. Looks like a combination of the Cadillac Cien and the upcoming Nissan GT-R.
  12. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15475741/ Report finds St. Louis most dangerous U.S. city Research group: Violent crime grew by 20 percent; Detroit at No. 2 ST. LOUIS - Just days after the St. Louis Cardinals won the top honor in Major League Baseball, their hometown jumped to first place on a list no one wants to lead: the most dangerous cities in the United States. This Midwestern city has long been in the upper tiers of the annual ranking of the nation’s safest and most dangerous cities, compiled by Morgan Quitno Press. Violent crime surged nearly 20 percent there this year, when the rate of such crimes rose much faster in the Midwest than in the rest of nation, according to FBI figures released in June. The ranking, being released Monday, came as the city was still celebrating Friday’s World Series victory at the new Busch Stadium. St. Louis has been spending millions of dollars on urban renewal even as the crime rate climbs. Mayor Francis Slay did not return calls seeking comment Sunday. Scott Morgan, president of Morgan Quitno Press, a private research and publishing company specializing in state and city reference books, said he was not surprised to see St. Louis top the list, since it has been among the 10 most dangerous cities for years. Morgan said the study looks at crime only within St. Louis city limits, with a population of about 330,000. It doesn’t take into account the suburbs in St. Louis County, which has roughly 980,000 residents. The safest city in 2005 was Brick, N.J., population about 78,000, followed by Amherst, N.Y., and Mission Viejo, Calif. The second most dangerous city was Detroit, followed by Flint, Mich., and Compton, Calif. The national FBI figures released in June showed the murder rate in St. Louis jumped 16 percent in 2005, compared with 4.8 percent nationally. The overall violent crime rate increased nearly 20 percent, compared with 2.5 percent nationally. Midwest's rise outpaces nation While crime increased in all regions last year, the 5.7 percent rise in the 12 Midwestern states was at least three times higher than any other region, according to the FBI. Visiting St. Louis on Thursday, FBI director Robert Mueller said it was too early to tell why some types of crime were rising faster in the Midwest. Mueller said the FBI is working harder to form partnerships with police departments to launch programs like St. Louis’ Safe Streets task force, which focuses police efforts on problematic neighborhoods. This year’s ranking was good news for Camden, N.J., which in 2005 was named the most dangerous city for the second year in a row. Camden Mayor Gwendolyn Faison said Sunday she was thrilled to learn that her city no longer topped the most-dangerous list. “You made my day!” said Faison, who has served since 2000. “There’s a new hope and a new spirit.”

    Found Him!

    Hate photobucket:
  14. Wow it looks amazing in those photos. Lutz did say that it's the concept version of the new worldwide Cobalt coming in a few years, but I fear it will be like the PreVUE turning into the RealVUE...

    F.F. 2.0

    I like 1.5 with all the extensions I have more...
  16. The interior looks good here: Some of their issues seem really nitpicky, but it seems that they like it so far.
  17. This is basic logic; we did it in the first week of micro last year. Everyone would agree that as you make cars more dangerous, people would drive more carefully. If you had brakes made out of chewing gum and the steering had a predisposition to not working, you would think twice about even going anywhere, let alone driving fast and/or recklessly. Therefore, you can make a graph that shows driver care going up as car safety goes down (it's just a line). What most people don't think about is going the other way. As you make safety go up, driver care will go down. It's the same graph, just going the other direction.
  18. If you know the name of the kind or queen being murdered, press one.
  19. Maybe it's like Calvin and Hobbes (some guy lives in the roof and opens the sunroof when you press the button)?
  20. Why? GM needs to start getting rid of its 4speed autos like yesterday.
  21. The Cards suck. Like really suck. The World Series is gonna be a complete walkover.
