A friend of mine who lived on the corner of Essex by the Witch House said there were always Harley's blowing around that corner at 3 am.

Yeah, I hear them too. Loud fuckers.

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

It looks like the Civic is joining the "taller car" trend?

Uh-huh. Those three documents have bates-stamps on them. Two of them have dated trial exhibit stickers on them. They are not "secret" memos (at least as of today), they were produced as part of litigation that, to judge from the trial stickers, happened a decade ago.

I didn't read the linked article, I was just responding in general that collusion isn't the same thing as just trying to be profitable. Maybe there's nothing to it in this case. There might be some localized price gouging on gas, but I don't really see it on a national basis. Also, I think price freezes on gas would be a really bad idea.

They are supposed to be bigger and more powerful than the current ones. I think Honda really needs a new model to slot beneath the Civic at this point.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I would seriously love to have a mid-70s Civic.

I think they have something called the "Jazz" in other markets.

They do: [link]

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

Actually, Darts and Chevelles and other early '70s muscle-ish cars are the big new collectibles nowadays. People are buying them and restoring them and they do look purty all spiffed up.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My uncle had an AMC Eagle station wagon that I thought was pretty damned ugly. But that thing was indestructable.

My first car was a 4-wheel drive AMC Eagle hatchback. Talk about ugly. Built like a tank, though. And the 4WD was nice until the switch broke. Thing leaked oil like crazy and the starter eventually died (This was after some stupid kids with a baseball bat broke out the driver side window in the middle of winter for the hell of it.) but it was certainly distinctive. Most people's reactions, upon first seeing it, were "What the hell is that thing?"

I thought Pacers were cool when they came out - they looked all futuristic and had an efficient use of interior space for a small car....

We had a Pacer growing up, but I don't remember much about them. I have vague memories of riding with my dad when he was test driving it, but that's about it.
