  1. Eh, no thanks. That's almost as ugly as the brown Volt I passed in St. Charles today. LOL, I'll take that as a yes then
  2. I take it you've seen those Harley's running around here too Harry?
  3. I think I would have gone black or a metallic or pearl dark blue or even a gunmetal gray if I was going to do something other than red. White just seems to hide a lot of details on that car that having light reflecting off the darker colors should accent them without striping them.
  4. Those are a couple of the reasons I bought a Chrysler 200 with the Pentastar V-6 too, the car should weigh just under 3600 pounds for the Touring like I have and the version of that V-6 in my car makes 283hp vs the same car with the 170hp 4 cyl. (although that does weight closer to 3400lbs).
  5. I do like the looks of these new Impalas, especially in darker colors. I hear GM's 3.6l V-6 is a pretty healthy little engine too
  6. Ain't that the truth Danno, had a lying idiot of a assistant manager that I worked with at Toy's "R" Us ended up going to the Carmax I bought my Jeep from, he was one those who it amazed me he could figure out how to drive his own vehicles at times.......... Also had a friend tell me his Dad was at a Ford Dealer and happened to be looking at a SN95 body Mustang that was on the sales floor when a salesman decided to try and sell it to him, part of the attempt included him telling my friend's Dad it was powered by an Inline V-6...............
  7. I've always said that when it comes to stuff like this that I'm not creative to come up with stuff that stupid.
  8. Since when do track day cars have A/C?
  9. I had been hearing stories the past few weeks that things were getting bad there and Cindy was looking to sell, didn't expect to hear that though. Got lucky with my store, new owners who were with the Rockford Franchise bought it and managed to do a sofar significant turn around on the place........I was begining to expect to show up to work one day to find a "Store Closing" sign on the front of the store. I'm one of a couple if the "old" employees that was retained too, can't say how good it is to see stock on the shelves and not expecting to see that sign on the door going into work.
  10. Don't look at me, I've got nearly nothin'!
  11. Talking to the R/C Airplane guys, they're just as sick of this rain/wind/cold as they were of the snow and cold.............these guys just want to get out and fly!
  12. Have to admit, I like his attitude on the whole deal.
  13. We're getting rain, according to one of the news stations, we're also in for 7 more days of it......
  14. Actually, I think that used to be a Ford F-Series!
  15. Wait, somebody actually approved that front bumper cover design for production? That somehow makes the Lexus black widow grills almost good?!
  16. Fish Tacos...............no thank you!
  17. Kinda irked with myself now. I had read a couple times that the head unit in my Chrysler not only was an AM/FM/Satallite radio and CD player that happens to have a 30gig Hard Drive with a 6.5" touch screen, but also has a DVD player built into it that that allows you to watch DVD's while the car is at least in Park if it has an auto or if the parking brake is set for stick shift equipped cars like the Challenger and those can be loaded into the HD too! Now what irks me is that it took me so long to confirm this, could have put this to use many times while waiting in the car for my Dad or Sister while they were running into stores to get stuff! Now I'm going to load my Firefly disk into it after work tonight.
  18. And yet they'll probably complain about how bad the local drivers are....... We've run into a few of that particular motorist down in Branson, MO......as bad as they are in this area, they somehow qctually get worse in the Ozarks?!
  19. Heading home from Chicago today I had a couple SUV's ahead of me by several car lengths with one that was starting to pull onto an exit ramp when the SUV driver in my lane suddenly slams on their brakes to slow down to get in line behind the other SUV when the that driver suddenly slams on their brakes for no apparent reason. Seeing this, I get on my brakes to make darned sure I don't end up in that mess and the next thing I know, my Sister starts yelling at me telling me not to turn onto that ramp and I start yelling back at her that I was trying not to run into these idiots in front of us and had no intention of turning there.......her BF was silently sitting behind her in the back seat.....I think she pulls that nonsense on him too, no matter who's driving.
  20. Yikes, best of luck to you.
