  1. Holy $#!+, that's hot.
  2. Not that I drive that often, but if the place is within walking distance, I'll absolutely walk there. If the place is a mile out, well... I just wish I still had my bike.
  3. Pedopedia?And there are billions and billions of websites where thousands of different ideals are touted. Just because they exist, doesn't mean people read them. And if you're going to use something like Conservapedia as your source of information, then I invite you to hang out in that cave for as long as you want. Just don't expect things to be peachy keen and in full agreement when you come back out.
  4. As a Christian, by faith I believe that God made everything. However, I have a hard time believing that Genesis Chapter 1 is meant to be taken literally. I could connect each of the six days to events that theoretically took millions of years to occur. I'm thinking, the author used the term "days" because it would be more like days to God, but to us it's more like eons. Many Christians will disagree with me, but this is my own personal conclusion. I also believe that evolution takes place. All newborn creatures take on the physical and mental traits of their parents, and sometimes develop traits of their own. How can you even dispute that such a thing takes place? That's not to say God doesn't play a part in it... But again, many Christians will disagree. The logic behind completely ignoring the theory of Evolution is that it contradicts the first chapter of the Bible as it is written. And sometimes a Christian is considered not a Christian if they don't take the entire Bible literally. The argument that can be made is, if you don't believe that the Lord created the world in six days, then how can you believe anything else in the Bible? To that, I say, there are over a dozen different versions of the Bible in every conceivable language. There's obviously room for interpretation.
  5. Sorry bout that. I just saw Philadelphia this Sunday so my perception was a bit skewed.
  6. It only took them about 10 years to put out something new. And the industry jabs at GM and Ford for their slow redesigns.
  7. So is someone gonna actually build this thing or what?
  8. But... But no one here has AIDS... Do they? That's me!
  9. If this is more than just sensationalist conjecture, then American society is going to get its ass kicked severely before the end of my expected lifetime. Edit: I need to throw in some Becauses. - There will be less shipping of goods, much shorter commutes, more mass transit, and ultimately, fewer cars. Basically, less freedom to get what we want, drive where we want to, live where we want to...
  10. Limit Horsepower? That's insane. If anything, they should restrict the power-to-weight ratio. But even then, I think it's extremely important to have strong acceleration in a car. I can think of one onramp in particular where it would be anything but a safety hazard to be able to rapidly reach 70mph.
  11. Christian or not, teenagers aren't exactly going to write quality pieces. Also, I could have sworn that gravity was relative to the mass of the object that creates it (ie Earth generating more gravity than its Moon, the Sun generating enough gravity to keep the various planets in orbit...). Where's the disagreement?
  12. The 2.2L Cobalt is reasonably quiet. Only when it revs up can you really hear it. It's not dead quiet at idle, but the idle hum can easily be masked by music. One of the interesting things about the Cobalt is as you accelerate and decelerate, there is a secondary hum that carries a specific tone depending on your exact speed. It's a good audible speedometer if you listen to it. The other thing, though, is that once you get above 65 mph or so, the wind noise overcomes the engine's 2500RPM volume. It's only when you have to downshift to accelerate that the engine becomes noticeable again.
  13. You'll like this one. A white Chrysler PT Cruiser w/ Continental Kit. The following PT isn't white, but this is pretty much what I saw: Also, in late March, I saw a Tundra hauling some sort of chintzy cart. That is the first and only Tundra I've seen so far, amidst all the hype. I see a helluva lot more new Silverados out here than anything.
  14. I didn't make the connection before. Hence the shock.
  15. GASP! Paolino and NDL are brothers!? Either this was previously unannounced or I completely missed it. After all, I have a knack for missing key threads. Naturally, do what Ocn says. But instead of waiting for a dry day on Long Island (snow in April? what in tarnation...), grab a hair dryer and go nuts.
  16. You are speaking bitter words. But nonetheless, I am in full agreement.
  17. That's US$15.64 for us American types [source]. But still. That's a helluva lot more than they paid me to work at McDonald's.
  18. I will add that - while the standard shipping method is UPS 3-Day - if the price difference is great enough between something bought at Newegg and something bought at a retail store (and it usually is), I'd go with faster shipping. I hate the waiting game.
  19. $2,000. Reserve not met. Buy it now for $15,000. ... I just really like the name "Caravanarangosine".
  20. Okay, just to flesh out my opinion aside from the icon I posted... The design is just "okay" overall... Until I see it from this angle: It looks overly long. Whereas the Suburban at least has proportions similar to a pick-up truck, This is just long, straight lines going from the A-pillar back. But I give them credit for trying something differerent from their usual portfolio. And yes, the name is dumb. It implies to me that the structure is anything but rigid, and the CUV's longness only amplifies that sentiment.
  21. Why am I happy? Because the Cobalt is listed among the best. But it doesn't look good that ALL the Cadillac and Buick sedans, the Aveo, and the Grand Prix are listed among the worst.
  22. http://www.newegg.com A very popular, low-price, high-satisfaction computer parts retail firm. I bought my new stuff from them a couple weeks ago. Best price on the net. It arrived last week. I assembled my PC, and the video card turned out to be defective. I sent it back and am currently waiting for them to ship back a replacement. My only gripe is they're literally at the opposite end of the country, but their typical shipping option is UPS 3-Day, so it's kinda moot.

    Sad News

    Dang, I was looking forward to picking up a Chevy Criuse. Now is that pronounced "Cree-ooze", or is it more like Toyota's hybrid and pronounced "Cree-us"?
  24. I think for the best comparison we should park them next to a HUMMER H2.
  25. Isn't he the one that got Chrysler Corp to merge with Daimler Benz to begin with?
