I really should have quoted them instead of you SS...

I always liked the Avenger and Stratus names... One that should stay dead, having been ruined in the 80s: Le Mans.

Unions are the workers banding together to ensure a good job/life for all. Extend that slightly and you get communism. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing unions. I'm extremely left wing, and even considered myself communist at one point. I just feel the need to point out to those who think of communism as the scare word it was during the cold war that unions go down that road...

Ummmmm.... I worked a minimum wage job. I'm 100% white, and was living in a town which is literally 98% white. Minimum wage is NOT just in the ghettos. It's almost every job a high schooler can get. In Ontario it is $6.85/hr.

Sixty8: Being "ignorant" about your car tastes (note the quotes... :P ) is one thing. Being racist and politically ignorant is 100x worse.

Why do you even need Limewire Pro? I just have the free version, and it does everything I need.

Well... if you had 8 speeds, you wouldn't necessarily use them all in normal acceleration, just in low speed cruising. Maybe it would be like the 1->4 shift in the manual vette. Step on the 8-speed auto, and it goes 1->3->5 etc. Gently accelerate up to 40 km/h in a school zone and you get 1->2->3.

Ya, just got one the other day actually. Hi Yellow Dart, You seem like a nice guy and probably won't tease me like the other guys would. I've really learned how to "use" the Camaro lately if you know what I'm saying. Quite the collection of naive high school girls... anyways, are there any creams I can put on these big red lumps that started growing... down there? --NOS :P :CG_all:

The Galant difference is quite striking. Also, that Xantia pic is HORRIBLE! That's worse than Blazer / Trans Sport.

About "sweet tea" That is all we have in Canada. I remember going down to South Carolina at a Bojangles and ordering iced tea and getting a jug of cold tea (as we would call it). It's certainly different. I was the only one in my family who didn't think it was nasty, so I ended up slowly drinking that jug over the vacation. Wish we had it here, it's better for you than "sweet" tea.

The problem with this statement, Sixty8, is that physics is almost entirely scalable. Let me explain what I mean with a little analogy. Take 2 bowling balls. One is 6 inches across and weighs 10 pounds. The other is a foot across and weighs 20 pounds. Drop them both off a building. They will both fall at the same speed, since the bigger ball has more air resistance pushing up, but more weight pushing down. When they hit the ground (let's say we didn't drop them very far), the bigger one will shatter 2x as much as the small one, since it has 2x the kinetic energy to disperse into the ground. So, if the bottom 2 inches of the small one crack off when it hits the ground, the bottom 4 inches of the big one will. So you will be left with two basically identically damaged bowling balls, one twice the size of the other. So, applying this to cars in accidents. Weight does not always help you if not applied to the right areas of the car. A 4500 pound Benz would have to crush twice as much material as a 2250 pound Metro to stop, assuming they were going the same speed and crashed into the same type of material. If they both crashed into a tree for example, the Benz would do a lot more damage to the tree. If they crashed into a solid wall however, the Benz had better have a hood section that's twice as long as the Metro, with twice as much weight in it, or bye bye passenger section. If they were to crash into each other, however, you would be right. Say the Benz is going west and the Metro is going east (same speed). The whole mess will still be going somewhat west after the accident, meaning the Metro decelerated to a stop, then accelerated the other way (more force than just stopping) while the Benz didn't quite stop (less force...). So, having a bigger car won't always save you, but when other people are involved, it usually helps.

Layne Staley (RIP): Alice in Chains Chris Cornell: Formerly Temple of the Dog (became Pearl Jam), Soundgarden, now Audioslave Scott Weiland: Formerly Stone Temple Pilots, now Velvet Revolver Speaking of Audioslave and VR - there is a quote I saw in a magazine I found quite ridiculous. Here is some history first so you all understand. Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine both broke up, and the singer from Soundgarden basically joined Rage to form Audioslave. Guns 'n' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots both broke up, and the singer from STP joined GnR to form Velvet Revolver. Brad Wilk (bassist of Audioslave): I just don't get Velvet Revolver. The whole "supergroup" thing seems so contrived. Hello? YOU are IN a supergroup, one that couldn't possibly be more similar to Velvet Revolver history wise!

*Lil' Jon voice* - Sometimes I think that I am all alone in this world, and I have no-one to go to. - What??!?? Seriously though, I really didn't expect anyone to even know who she was, never mind Weeping Tile. They are interesting, but I still like her first solo disc the best.

Damn scaper, she's turning the gay men around here.... :huh: :P

That's an awesome picture!!!

Damn thats a LOT of money...

Pretty sweet. Strange way to change the name though. Effigy (n): 1. A crude figure or dummy representing a hated person or group. 2. A likeness or image, especially of a person.

Too bad about the Solstice. I think these fogs: look much better than these:

Male: Matthew Good (solo) Chino Moreno (Deftones) Brandon Boyd (Incubus) Female: Sarah Harmer (solo) Emily Haines (Metric) Emm Gryner (solo)

I also saw a GP GXP on a truck coming from Oshawa yesterday.

What the? Wierd...

Giant apartment building in picture.

Beck - what kind of crazy taillights are those? They look good from this angle.

Doesn't it seem wrong to anyone else that the Tacoma is the cheapest Toyota? Shouldn't the Echo be cheaper?

No, its not the spelling that was the picky part. It's that Mercedes was not accepted, the Benz was required.
