  1. My question, and I haven't seen anything about it yet, is whether their regular cab Tundras have the LATCH system in the seats? Since there is no back seat in these trucks they would be the ones that I would have a concern. My own children never rode in the front seats of our Silverado when they were younger. My 7 year old still doesn't. With the Tundras that do have a back seat this is more of a perception problem for Toyota. People will think that the 'fix' they are getting is a step down in safety even if they never planned on putting their child in the front seat. One of the other reservists at McChord has a Tundra and when I asked if he had heard about this he was astonished. He doesn't even have children but he thought Toyota was moving in the wrong direction with this.
  2. THANKS! I didn't need that image in my head and it is too early in the day to kill the brain cells. So I will replace it with... A thousand beautiful naked women on a beach in New Zealand. Ahhh, that's better. (Feel free to change the image in your own mind to fit whatever works for you. ) I love conspiracy theories, they are always so entertaining.

    MSN Today

    because the media nowadays is only out to attract audiences and make headlines, not to report what is really going on in the world. They also have their own agendas to promote. And I don't mean just MSN Foxnews, or CNN. They ALL are like this. That's why I usually read so many news sources to keep informed. It helps you balance the liberal, conservative, and any other viewpoints. I was talking to a coworker the other day and all he could do was talk gloom and doom for GM. He said there was NO WAY that GM could pull out of their troubles. When I asked how he knew this he said its always on the news. I asked him if he thought the media was reporting everything going on in the mideast (since he has been there so much) or if their reporting was balanced and he told me 'of course not.' Which is what I already knew. The news organizations report what they think will further their agenda or draw people to them. Hmmm, makes me wonder if the media is trying to create a self fulfilling prophecy. Oh wait, I already know. Sorry about going semipolitical on this but we've all seen them do what I said and I get a bit tired of being told by the news that my work is going to be all for nothing and a waste of time (remember I am Air Force Reserves)
  4. Probably, "oh officer, tighter" Now, this woman probably has no clue why what she did was wrong and will probably file some kind of lawsuit.
  5. London
  6. Tammy finally showed me the list of what GM is sending for this show. As Scott told her, they decided to find something for about everyone. 1. Sunoco Camaro #6 2. 1969 Kingswood Estate Wagon COPO (yes, COPO 427) with 1900 original miles! 3. HHR Concept 4. 1990 ZR1 experimental -- full active suspension (readL: 18,000 miles of hoses and valves and wires........) 5. 2006 Daytona 500 Pace Car (Corvette Z06)
  7. Trans Am
  8. I agree that Issaquah is a nice area. Its a nice community in a beautiful surrounding. XXX has a lot of shows throughout the summer and its a great drive up there.
  9. Thanks for the pics. That just makes me want to get down to Reno for Hot August Nights even more. I can't wait......
  10. That IS funny. You gotta read the description. Hey, you live in your folks home, you live by their rules. Try this link... Cobalt
  11. The LT1 Camaros are a pain to do a tuneup on as well. I wind up getting some of the spark plugs from underneath the car.
  12. throat
  13. mind (congrats on post 2000 trinacriabob)
  14. Any ricemobile with a body kit and the rear seat removed to reduce weight.
  15. I loved that one. Or you could send someone for... a bucket of propwash K9P solvent the keys to the airplane's ignition (I love doing that to new pilots) a left hand spanner wrench a tach generator sling (the tach generator is about the size of your fist) Or you can have someone... listen at the back of an engine when you yell in front of it for an echo check run back and forth in front of the plane with foil doing a radar check Really, you'd never believe what you can people to do around airplanes, or what they will believe.
  16. Did anyone ever notice that in the first Stargate SG1 episode, they mentioned having problems with the Stargate and had to 'MacGyver it?" I do agree that Airport (and its sequels) were cheesy but they did eventually lead that classic, AIRPLANE!
  17. Glad you feel better. Gotta disagree though, Toymotor doesn't suck. That would give someone pleasure. Toyota is like that person who teases you till you are about to burst then says, "I just wanna be friends."
  18. If anyone who is in the Seattle area or reasonably close to it is looking for something to do this coming Sunday, the 16th, there will be an All Camaro & Chevy Show at the XXX-Drive In in Issaquah. The show is free for spectators, if anyone wants to enter, it is $15 for day of show entries. My car club is putting this show on and its always been a lot of fun. We tend to have just about everything Chevy, from the 1930's to brand new. Just click on the following link for more information or ask me and I can answer about anything. All Camaro & Chevy Show The show starts at 8AM and runs all day. Scott Settlemire is flying in and he has hinted at some cool cars he will be bringing. (unfortunately no Camaro concept-rats) I think I am supposed to be helping out with parking. So I will be around in case anyone wants to meet with me (although I am not sure why you'd want to. ). If nothing else, Tammy and I should have our 71 RS Z/28 and our 95 Z/28 next to my brothers 71 Chevelle. I look forward to meeting at least a couple of people from here. Take care and enjoy.
  19. chocolate
  20. Yeah, that grill does look like it was stolen from an HHR.
  21. cro magnan
  22. The engine on my 95 Z/28 is stock. Most of what I have done is let it breathe better with the ram air and the exhaust. Those LT1s have a nice sound with a bit of exhaust system work. I've gotten lots of compliments.

    Car Heaven

    CARBIZ-LIke I said as long as this goes no farther than it is currently set up, then fine. But these things do sometimes take on a life of their own. I can easily see people talking about how this is such a wonderful program but what can we do to make it better. That's where you get into the 'car crusher laws'. It also, doesn't address my comment about the people who cannot afford a new car, even with the $1000 voucher. Their cars are likely to be in the worst shape and the worst polluting. This program goes nowhere to get those cars off the road. And knowing this, those people I mentioned above could easily be thinking about working some legislation.
  25. No, they are deactivating the switch. And this means that people with a standard cab Tundra won't be able to have their small children in the truck. They are trying to save money. I think, if people wind up knowing about this will wind up costing them even more money in sales.
