I disagree. I spun out a TrailBlazer on an icy road, and I blame the RWD. I fishtailed back and forth about 5 times before spinning around in a 270 and ripping off a piece of the front bumper on a snowbank. FWD would have been much more predictable in this circumstance.

I think Subaru won this fight. The Audi ad is the worst. BMW's was at least clever.

Funny, when I think of VW I see forest green.

Overcompensation is such a common problem among these Camaro boys. "Fat tailpipes are NOT compensating for anything! Shut up!"

At least you took the Snoopy sunvisor with you when you did. Good call. Van: dope. That stupid Charlie Murphy Star Trek commercial has been stuck in my head for so long now. Something about his voice just won't leave my head. "Captain loves them roast beef sandwiches" "It's solid beef, Spock" "This is where I chill. Where I relax. Where I... chillax." "Artwork: Dope."

Man, Sly is going to see a Caddy driver join the FDM and want to shoot himself in the face. It's like seeing Chuck Norris join the Yakuza. Something about it just aint right.

Look at the bright side sonny. You and Satty will have even more in common to discuss at your Monday night bridge club. I went through this about 3 years ago, and found out it wasn't mine. Scary thing was, she thought she was infertile so she didn't realize she was actually pregnant until it was too late to abort. She ended up putting it up for adoption.

So what is the plan for the Aveo5? Will it be replaced eventually, or just left to die?

Why is the new Aveo sedan and old Aveo5 shown? Is this a mixed year for the Aveo?

Actually, the ending credits said the two men that the movie focused on were #18 and #19 rescued from the WTC, of a total of 20. So there was one person rescued after them, who must have spent at least 24 hours down there. Yikes.

I'd hardly call the Maxima lacklaster - I'm really impressed with the one my friend bought. Still don't understand the rear seat console though - who wants a car that big that can only carry 4 people? He likes it though - and I think it was an option.

So... this would be the Red Hot Chili Peppers' version? The Stadium Arcadium? Sorry, couldn't resist.

That Shaggy song is possibly the worst choice ever for a wedding song, besides possibly Kim by Eminem, or some ICP. I like the Chris Cornell song, that was a good idea.

I keep thinking midsize when I see these trucks. They do NOT look like full size trucks to me. Maybe that's a good thing today, "smaller is better" and all. Maybe it's the Colorado's window shapes that are making me think Colorado/Canyon every time I look at these trucks too.

Damn straight. 5.7 to 6.8 L/100km is schweet. Depends on how I drive, what part of that range I get. That's 34-41 mpg.

I've still never seen one in real life. I've seen maybe 3 Solstices.

You don't have to move slower. I went mountain biking today. My secret was the 36 ice cubes I jammed in my Camel Bak (back mounted water bladder). It actually kept me pretty cool with the big sack of cold water on the back. It's like a personal air conditioner.

You forgot the second part. If it doesn't move and it should, WD40.

I think I nearly peed myself on seeing this post.

I'm very anti-military and even I think this is petty. It's not like it's a new ship, or some military installation. It's just a piece of history.

Band of Brothers was a 10-part DVD mini-series, based on the real stories from dozens of WWII vets. It's a very good show. http://imdb.com/title/tt0185906/

Isn't bitching about ignoring each others posts kind of moot? Just use "User Ignore". The fact that neither of you have yet done so implies to me that you both enjoy the fighting. Deal with that, or use the User Ignore already.

Toronto just hit a record high for energy consumption. Great. Hope we don't have any brownouts/blackouts. Can't blame people for using the A/C like crazy though: 36C (97F). Feels like 46C (115F).

I was walking down the street with a friend of mine in Toronto and this woman approached us and gave us some free passes for an advanced screening of "World Trade Center". I wasn't too keen on seeing this movie, as I was kind of worried that it would be more flag-waving sappy drivel like "Pearl Harbor" (the movie). Since my friend wanted to go, and we didn't have anything better to do, I let her convince me. I missed the very beginning (probably about 5 minutes), so I didn't get to see how they treated the actual event. However, this movie was not what I expected. This was much more a personal story about three people and how them and their families were affected that day. Two were Port Authority cops, trapped underneath the rubble in the lower levels of the tower when they collapsed. One is an ex-Marine, who suits up and goes to Ground Zero when the disaster happens. All three are completely based on real people. This is a human story moreso than a historical, political, or war movie. Nicolas Cage did an EXCELLENT job with the character - I didn't realize it was him for about 15 minutes, partly because of the mustache, but mostly because his accent hid his voice so well. I'm no New Yorker, but I thought the accent was pretty authentic. The whole movie really leaves you pondering the fragility of life, and both the evil and good that we are all capable of. It was actually quite a good movie.
