Looks like they should, but they don't.

If this was a chop by somebody at this website, I would say good chop. It is an interesting idea, and the end result is reasonably attractive. Is the end result a good idea to actually produce? I say no.

I use tap water. Toronto water tastes surprisingly good, I think they might have a big filter on my apartment building though, becuase I've had Toronto water at other places that was nasty. If you're going to do anything, filter the tap water with Brita or the like. Don't buy bottled water unless you have to - it's not that much better and the container is bad for the environment. It's not as pure as most people think it is anyways. Remember, EVIAN = NAIVE.

Yes, it was indeed Copper Sunburst. It did debut with that colour, but you can no longer order it. Check the Caddy web site.

Didn't even notice the 2 small lights on the Impala. So, apparently, there are only 2 Chevies with only 2 red taillights - Cobalt and SSR. As for the Cobalt SS, its lights are the same as the regular Cobalt coupe - the inner ones are just reverse lights.

Got one for you. This colour belonged on the GP, but not the CTS. They no longer offer it.

Forgot to add this to the "desktop" post. The guy in the picture got dragged to see the movie by his girlfriend, who got the tickets from my boss. As revenge on the boss for getting the tickets to his girlfriend, he changed his 06 calendar for one with cowboys.

The difference is nobody usually gets offended. This thread is making some people seem like they need their blankies.

Closest one yet. Cobalt coupe also only has 2 lights (inner ones are reverse), so its: Cobalt Impala SSR On a side note, I've been paying attention to those cargo vans lately because of this thread, and I noticed that the Express has 2 taillights/side, and the Savana only has 1/side, even though the housings look almost exactly the same. Wierd.

One of my coworkers got taken to this movie by his girlfriend. We bug him about it. This is a picture of him and his girlfriend he had on his desktop that we "altered" - the head we stuck on his girlfriend is dubya.

It's a random nickname from a Strong Bad cartoon, the one where he writes an english paper for one of his readers. My friend used it on me one day, nobody is sure why. It was cemented when I bought a yellow car.

UPDATE: OK, so I'm a moron. I thought the Express had only 2, but I passed one on the way in this morning and it had 4. So, there is only one you guys haven't guessed. Who can put it all together?? It's a pretty common one...

Nobody's got it so far. I forgot about Impala though. So, there are four. Some of your guesses so far are wrong though: Colorado has 4: Aveo has 4 (see the 2 circles?): Uplander has 4 (Relay is same): Monte DEFINATELY has 4: Maxx, 2 on top of each taillight bar for 4 total: Malibu, one either side of each taillight bar for 4 total: Keep guessing... 2 of 4 have been guessed so far

What are the 3 currently produced Chevies that don't use 4 red lights for taillights? (excluding Suburban/Tahoe, which are on the way out)

The first Chinese cars will probably suck - vehicle production is a difficult and complicated process, and experience means a lot. Don't count them out completely though - they will eventually 'get it', just like the Koreans.

aww man, I was really hoping to see the guy make some kind of large-scale comeback here. I miss his posts. Stace, give our condolances to Jay.

Working for Ontario Power Generation, I understand a bit more about energy production and consumption now, and why really hot days are really hard on the system and the designers. Since our power grid is connected across most of North America, we have a huge capacitance from all the transmission lines. Put simply, the lines themselves can hold a bit of power. If production outstrips consumption on a given day, the lines just increase their capacitance slightly, and obviously the same is true in reverse. This does not constitute a "battery" however, as there is no simple or compact way to store that much power. Power is (basically) generated and consumed at the same time. You can compare of large-scale energy production and consumption to a car's electrical system. Your altenator, in a real car with a battery, just has to charge the battery. Imagine if there was no battery and your altenator had to be ready to deal with you cranking up the radio, a/c, and headlights at the same time. That altenator would have to be much beefier, and output much more power all the time. This would make the whole system inefficient. Same goes for large-scale power generation. It is hard to justify upping the generation capacity just for those few days a year when everyone decides they NEED the inside of their house to be 20c/70f. I'm not talking unreasonable amounts of adjustment here, but if everybody would just be OK with 75 or 80, and turned their a/c off or down when they weren't home, we wouldn't have as many problems as we do. California especially - that state has to get some more generating capacity or they're going to be in serious trouble soon.

I didn't like the body coloured headlight surrounds on the C6, and definately don't like them here.

Maybe that's an energy conservation thing... I wish people around here would take a hint and turn down the a-c when we have power problems on really hot days. I don't have air myself.

So... they chopped a corner off the Impala lights?

Take it easy on the French. They may be rude, but I don't think they're any more incompitant than other European nations. P.S. If you're so upset about French engineering, what do you think of the Statue of Liberty

His story the next day would be hilarious though! "Man, it was so wierd, I was all hammered at the club, and I found this urinal right there on the dance floor! So I took the opportunity and whooped it out. Oh yeah, and something funny must have happened just then too, cause I heard a bunch of girls laugh. So then I start using this urinal, and I swear to God it came alive and punched me!!

This thread made me think of a desktop I can no longer find on my computer, or unfortunately the internet either... It was one of the shots they used to make this cover - much bigger, and without the titles. Just Jenna and this nice C5.

I really don't understand why you guys think .com is American. It stands for "commercial". I find it extremely ironic that one of the most patriotic countries in the world doesn't use their country-specific suffix (.us). Canadians have and use .ca, Brits use .uk, but Americans insist on sticking with .com for some reason, which really shouldn't be done for non-commercial sites like this one. cheersandgears.us - whaddya think?

I'm going.
