No strange stories or awkward experiences from me... The only thing I can tell you is that their stuff is good but very expensive. I think the last time I was there I had a white chocolate drink of some sort. Damn, that was a delicious coffee-like beverage.

Fully-equipped V6. Because anything else would either be too much or under-equipped. I love the Camaro, but no one needs more than 300hp. Seriously.

I've finally decided that I can see it either way. Assuming that the treadmill succeeds in counteracting the movement of the aircraft, making a net speed of 0 mph, the plane cannot take off. However, if the aircraft can continue to move forward despite the opposing force of the treadmill, then yes, the plane will eventually take off. I suppose by my own standards that this officially makes me crazy. I think what Mythbusters would probably do is strap a small rocket and a pair of wings to a rollerskate and watch it launch into wall across the testing facility. I'd bet if they did get their hands on this, they wouldn't be able to prove it either way. This is 100% hypothetical. The technology required to get the treadmill to speed match the aircraft on top of it would probably be too expensive. Unless NordicTrack has something we can use...

Actually I'm dreading the days of 3.79 a gallon. ...Oh, 0.379 a gallon? If only transportation could be that inexpensive.

For what it's worth, I was stuck in the 50s and 60s trying to figure out if there were any Studebakers or AMCs that fit your description.

I say we submit this to Mythbusters and let them sort it out in some crazed maniacal way. So now we've got two threads going on regarding this topic... In case you didn't see my post in the other thread, I still think this entire conversation is nuts. This debate has been argued by ENGINEERS, AVIATORS, and PHYSICISTS! Do you think this thread will settle the score?

Wouldn't the clutch have to automatically disengage in order for the car to start up? That would require a bit of extra tooling for the manuals.

Don't worry about me. I didn't know them. If, however, you are a religious person, you can direct your prayers to the families of these victims.

I have come to the conclusion that you are all crazy. It's good that I'm not a moderator because I would have locked this thread for the sake of everyone's sanity.

Chevy didn't start supercharging Impalas until 2004. I'd still guess it's a 3800. The car is awfully big and heavy for the 180-hp 3400 to help it beat out a.. *ahem* "tuned" Integra.

Eh you could go back and change it to "A Look at One of Eagle's Concept Cars". We can't each be expected to know every thing about every car company. Cool find, though, both of you.

Hmm I seem to have gotten myself involved in some sort of argument. BV, for what it's worth, my post wasn't directed specifically at you, but in response to Sixty's initial post.

In nearby Floral Park, a car full of kids younger than me crashed into a tree. Four died, one is/was in critical condition. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/new...egion-apnewyork Yesterday, in what I consider a "moonlighting" job, I helped prepare a double funeral service for Michael and Nyana at a nearby Methodist church. Driving is serious business, folks. Speeding and otherwise reckless behavior could bury you or someone else.

This bit of news is interesting. It implies that the BLS would be the 3-series competitor, while the CTS will go against the 5-series and STS will go against the 7-series. Or, for the sake of theoretical in-betweens, they'd go against the 2-series, 4-series, and 6-series (not referring to actual BMW models). Also, use any benchmark you'd like to here. If you want, replace 3, 5, and 7 with IS, GS, and LS; or C-Class, E-Class, and S-Class; or G, M, and Q; etc.

The current gen offers nav, so why wouldn't this car? Unless you guys are saying standard nav. That would be kinda cool. You think they can keep it at $30k?

It's actually been posted previously... When JamesB was still posting here (if he isn't still...). So that makes this at least the third time this engine has found its way to C&G.

This is one of the things wrong with the American auto industry.

Do you mean to say increased plastic costs? Because if not, I don't see a problem here.

Fly, maybe an optional language filter can be added for users that want that option. Each user should have a right to censor the information they receive. Likewise, each user should have the right to see the posts as they were intentionally written.

That's in Nick's sig. Signatures can be turned off... And in a school/work environment, should be turned off anyway. Which reminds me. *turns off sigs*

I know this line has been trashed to death already, but... As a 2007 Chrysler Sebring, this is pretty nasty looking, but has potential to gain favor over time. Slap a twin-kidney grille on it and call it a 2007 Pontiac Grand Am, and it would be a downright insult to Pontiac and GM fans across America.

The next generation of this biomass fuel could be cheaper, more plentiful and arriving sooner than you think. NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) – Cellulosic ethanol, the biofuel that differs from corn-based ethanol in that it can be made from pretty much any organic matter, has made an impression among people who matter. Alan Greenspan, the revered former chairman of the Federal Reserve with a big distaste for irrational exuberance, recently sang its praises before a Congressional hearing on energy security. Greenspan said cellulosic ethanol is the only alternative energy source that could be produced in enough volume to make a dent in gas usage.

It might be more work than you'd think. The Catera and GTO, although both based off the same original platform, are different in size and shape. It's kinda like how GM couldn't use the Saab convertible version of Epsilon to make the G6 Convertible. When different engineers get their hands on the technology, it will evolve in different ways. I don't have any resources to back up this statement, so maybe someone more knowledgeable can tell you more (or otherwise).

In terms of functionality, it would make a difference in a 4-door. In most 2-doors, such as the Cobalt, the B-pillar is far enough back that it's entirely out of your view and way when sitting in the driver's seat.
