It's interesting reading some of there posts. But I agree with sigma on the problems with GM and their idiotic obsession with front wheel drive. I am a diehard car guy and love performance vehicles of any brand, but you couldn't pay me to buy an American car right now. The Charger looks nice but put a 5.7 liter hemmy in it and the mileage sucks, the same is true with the Magnum. I'm a married man and want a 4 door performance car that is rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. That leave's out anything but Cadillac, my pockets aren't that deep.
.
That's why I drive my Outback, true it only has a a 3.6 liter six, but its all wheel drive all the time, goes like a scalded dog and is unstoppable in the snow. On top of that my wive loves it. I can't get anything like that from American iron. Sorry to disappoint everyone but I know several former GM employees that have ridden in my car and admire how well built it is as well.
.
If GM were being run by people who actually cared about cars and not just the bottom line, then maybe they would build cars I'd be interested in buying again, unfortunately that isn't going to happen any time soon.

I've said this before, UNTIL there are businesses worth patronizing, I won't be going downtown to shop. As crunch_munch said, I'll just take a different rout!

The business in the downtown need to realize that changing the streets from one way to two way won't do a thing to increase business. Getting businesses that people feel the need to visit would be first thing that would help.

There are no business that I want to visit downtown. Until there are you won't see me going downtown, except to get across town.

On Roundabout crashes baffle officials

The problem with the roundabout's is that they are only in place to slow traffic flow. While driving in upstate New York a number of years ago I drove though a roundabout that that was probably an eighth of a mile across and and you could maintain normal driving speed throughout.
If the roundabouts that are being planned for, around here were designed with traffic flow in mind instead of trying to disrupt normal traffic flow, they would probably work. Otherwise they are useless waists of taxpayer dollars!

Are they electric buses, or hybrid? Since to be hybrid, don't you need to have an engine as well?

I remember having a female employee walking in front of me during the winter wearing flip-flops and I said "Wearing thongs in in the winter?" she got very embarrassed and turning red she asked "How could you tell?" I quickly informed her that when I was younger, flip-flops were called thongs. At which point she turned even redder!

Frogger; The outback and all Subaru's are only all wheel drive all the time, not the cobbled up junk that American manufactures make. It still drives like a rear wheel drive vehicle in the snow, you can steer with the throttle, you can't do that with the after thought all wheel drive junk that the others make.
