Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Exactly.

The 2 initial will be the Tahoe and Yukon: [link]

GM also produces a hybrid bus: [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Can you tell the high gas prices are really starting to chafe?

I have to fill up in the morning. That's really not the best way to start a week.

Hmmm, okay that pretty much drops GM out of it. I have no desire to drive something the size of a Tahoe or Yukon around LA. I'm looking smaller. The Liberty that I've currently got is a great size for me. I don't even want to think about parking a Tahoe around LA.

How about the Saturn Vue? It will be out sooner, but less FE savings.... [link]

Heh on the parking. It's hellacious parking those in DC too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've stopped driving to work at all (I used to about every other day). I've hardly driven at all in the last 7 months, which is good as I sold my one car that got better than 15 mpg.

The VUE is in the size bracket that I like. But yeah, only a 10% increase in fuel. Any idea what ballpark that puts it into?

Your tag here.

Ballpark? You mean price range? Looks to be low twenties. Sorry, I think that's for the regular model. Found an article that says the hybrid is gonna come out late this year. I'm going to shut up now.

Well it would be an improvement over what I'm getting now, that's certain.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Of all the cars we have driven for the BF to review (he writes for the "cars" site for About.com), we liked the Honda Element [link] the best. Great mileage, better than any of the several hybrids we had and really practical for hauling gear around. We also REALLY liked the Dodge Magnum Hemi, not so great mileage and pricy, but a terrific car.
