  1. An extended wheelbase version sort of like the old Lincoln Town Car L's would warrant a serious consideration for a new car.

     

    I'll hold off on the first year models as the usual bugs have to be worked out I guess. But still is not a bad looking car.

     

    The overall passenger sedan market needs something like this. Something roomy, comfortable, has the power to boot!

  2.  

     

    So sad to hear of the passing of Gary Shandling at 66, way too young

     

    Yeah, Shandling's death did come as a shock. There are some old "youtube" clips of one of his few appearances of him appearing on the old game show "Make Me Laugh" from 1979 hosted by the late Bobby Van. They are funny as hell. You should check those out.

     

    I remember that show being on USA Network in reruns back in the mid 1980's. Too bad Mr. Van died of a brain tumor back in 1980. That show would have lasted a lot longer than it did.

  3. I have no reason to buy a Prius, they are just too small for my needs and the cost of maintaining them long term, as well as licensing and insurance.

     

    Plus, getting into an accident in one. Ahh, no thanks. I want to walk away from one, not be extracted out a sardine can.

     

     

    By the way...That Volvo has got to be an early 1980's model. Too young to drive then...HAHA

  4. Just seems as though the Taurus; if it were just a few inches wider on both sides. It would be darn near perfect. It's got plenty of head room and space. Don't get me wrong...

     

    But it's that space capsule type seating with that yuppie cup holder center console that really turns me off to them.

     

    I prefer either a bucket seat type seating where you can install your own custom console or just going back to a classic bench seat. (as an option of course)

     

    Remember, not everybody likes the limited options offered on these newer vehicles.

  5. I still can't figure out why 35% of the people in this country, or 39% (depending on what poll or whatever) continue to support Democrats and their failed policies.

     

    But then again, the 2 party paradigm is failing this country period.

     

    I'll take the Nixon years over the last 6 we have suffered through anytime, even the Carter years... I know, I'll hear it from the older crowd. But face it folks, things are a lot worse as a whole in this country now with everything in general.
