Fair enough. I just like that song. How often do you hear Americans so proudly stating that they'd rather be Canadian?

I want to move north and be a CanadianOr hang down low with the nice Australians I don't want to be another "I-don't-care"-ican What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American -NOFX, Franco Unamerican

I don't understand what the kid did. Did he crank it with the clutch in??

Wow, this is a gutsy move, with your Sky in the shop and all. Wonder if you're going to see anything like the commercials - "THAT's a Saturn?"

Problem is - "rural population now relies on bare-bones minicars and minitrucks priced between $3,000 and $5,000." How is GM supposed to pull a profit from a $5k vehicle when they only just figured out recenly how to make a profit on the Cobalt?

Actually, Mandarin and Cantonese characters are (mostly) the same. Chinese only has one set of characters, but many sets of spoken languages. So, if a Mandarin and Cantonese speaker were trying to communicate, they could not do so by speaking, but they could grab and pen and paper, and write to each other with minor difficulty. The standard characters are based on Mandarin (the largest dialect). There are a few characters introduced by Cantonese, but these are specifically for pronunciation guides. Vernacular Chinese

I think this is a Jin Bei truck. I was glad to hear that Jin Bei was not one of the Chinese companies coming here. Their trucks and vans were some of the most style-less vehicles I've ever seen.

Glad to see it, from a fuel standpoint, and a Saab promotion standpoint. This 9-5 design, however, has NOT grown on me. Still think it's butt-ugly.

The A3 looks like a better version of the Euro Civic hatch. The A5 is not quite as nice design-wise, but still better than most of the Chinese designs I've seen. Seriously though, that A3 is very nice. You guys know you would be praising it if it weren't Chinese.

Brantford, Ontario Hamilton, Ontario Toronto, Ontario Slowly making my way further and further from Detroit.

I don't have time to look everything up, so I'm just going to go ahead and guess on some. 1. true 2. true 3. false 4. false - Fox is finally dead (I think) 5. false 6. Question has problem - '86 Seville is transverse, '80-'85 is longitudinal. 7. true 8. true 9. false. There were many C111s, none had a V6. 10. false. 1929. 11. false 12. false. 1978. 13. true

OHHH! SPELLING BURNNNNN!!

deftonesfan - where did you get SUV from this article? Am I missing something?

The project name for the Nintendo was the Revolution. What does Wii really stand for? "Wii should have just left it as Revolution"

Those arch pictures are really cool. There's just some strange draw, for me, to the arch. I've been up twice. It's more interesting than taller skyscrapers. Truly unique.

Found a good site for bike stunt pictures. Some of these guys boggle my mind. Note: despite what it may seem, these are not photoshops. I've seen most of these guys do these things in bike videos. Early morning sunrise Road gap (part of what's unbelievable here is that there's a worn in trail leading to the edge. Yeesh. Front flip, time elapse 360, time elapse Superman (the real kind, not what I did) What nice scenery - waitaminit... Utah is beautiful Footplant Hope some of you enjoy these as I do.

Oh, I forgot this one. My mother grew up with some poor kid named Harry Nutt. You don't even have to chage that one at all... This isn't a name of a person, but it's almost as bad. My university (McMaster) had a residence called Bates. Yes, like the hotel. That's not the funny part though. They answered the phone, "McMaster, Bates residence". If you don't get it, say it quickly aloud.

As soon as I saw this book coming out, I thought of a clip from the Chappelle Show. He said the world would be more accepting of his extremist black ideas if a pretty white girl sang his thoughts. So, he got a pretty white girl, and she sang each card he handed her.

Richard Dix Dix is said "Dicks". His girlfriend's name was Kaleena. Now, imagine if they got married.

This is not always true. You just have to find the right blue collar jobs. I went to 4 years of engineering school, and got a good job at a Toronto software development company, with comparable salaries to competitors. My friend from back home took a crane operating course for 6 months (paid for by the company), and is now a crane operator. He makes more than I do. So, why did I pay that $24,000 worth of tuition anyways??

Yep. Sly, you fooled me. I was looking through all kinds of concept pictures, but didn't go that far back, because I didn't think the styling was that old. I only went back to about '63.

I found a chop exactly like this months ago and posted it.

Oldsmoboi - I knew they must have got it from somewhere. South Park. OK, good to know. Thanks.

The only problem with Toyota grabbing market share in China is this - The Chinese hold a much bigger grudge towards the Japanese than the US does. The Nanjing Massacre is still remembered vividly. Basically - imagine if, instead of blowing up ships in Pearl Harbor in a sneak attack, the Japanese had just come stright to Seattle, San Fran or LA and just killed as many people as they could find. That kind of mass murder is not easily forgotten, especially by a culture as isolated and proud as China. The Japanese are going to have to jump through hoops to sell cars there.

I live between Toronto's Church and Wellesley and St. Jamestown. So - I live between the gay village on one side, and 18,000 new immigrants (73% non-white) packed in to roughly 40 acres on the other. Now does anyone wonder why I'm so accepting?
