I'd be all over Aaron Cook.

Not to diss Madonna, but can't ARod find some younger meat? Madonna is like 50 now.

Yeah, it is totally quite possible the car was underfilled when your oil was changed in the past. A lot of times when you add oil during an oil change, it will appear full on the dipstick. But you are supposed to start the motor and let it run for a minute just to circulate the new oil throughout the motor and filter. After that, you are supposed to check the dipstick again and top off as necessary because it will appear low. You can ask the place to add the additive for you, or asking them to underfill it just a bit will be fine too. Still keep an eye on the oil level from time to time. But you might be in the clear on this one for now.

Talked to the boss. He's not interested. Go ahead and put it on Craigslist.

Why would you even want a stereo when you have a symphony of twelve cylinders right behind you? Oh that's right. Only rappers buy Lambos.

I might be interested. How much are you looking to get for it?

I second the Kool Kieth.

I watch that show too. Stacy London is a fox.

What I wanna know is where W got those sweet Air Force One socks. The coolest pair of socks I ever had were some TCB argyle socks I found in some Elvis gift shop across the street from Graceland.

I'm not even sure if I spelled that correctly.

I went to the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal the other week. They had a Crocs kiosk on the circuit and I checked it out. I almost bought a pair of these. Link They looked pretty nice to me and I need a pair of casual everyday shoes that don't look like tennies. I don't know. They look acceptable to me. What does everyone think?

I'm starting to get some water in my basement too. Not a ton, but definitely not cool. Had to go outside and create a makeshift extension for my gutter's downspout. Hopefully that will help until I can get to the Home Depot. Also found an enormous tree branch in front of my garage. How long is this stuff gonna last?

That's exactly how I buy cars. I look at Consumer Reports. Most of the top cars on consumer reports are foreign cars. I never ask a friend or coworker or listen to someone say "Oh, I have a Chevy Impala and I love it" or "I have a Toyta Camry and it's been nothing but trouble". Anyone can have a bad or good experience with a car. That does not mean that most of the cars of that model or type will be the same. CR does pretty thorough testing and gets feedback from it's population of subscribers. Why would you find it silly to use a resource like that when shopping for big ticket items? You'd rather just go by looks and how it feels during a 15 minute test drive? I don't find it silly at all. What I do find silly is people thinking that these report are gospel and make their decisions solely based on a good or bad review. People need to know what they want in a vehicle, find and research the vehicles that fit those characteristics, then drive the vehicles. I can't count how many people research and research like mad when looking for a car, but never go and drive any of them until they buy them.

Let's not give the union a free pass either. From the executive who okayed to put the Pontiac Aztek into production, to the forklift guy making $90,000 a year with full benefits and pension, this has been a joint effort for the past three decades to get to where they are now.

Why else would the American consumer buy a foreign vehicle if it wasn't for a better product? I don't know about you, but a good quality report from JD Power or Consumer Reports isn't gonna rush me to the nearest Chevy dealer. What matters most to me is the experience behind the wheel. It's something you see, feel and experience. For the past 35 years, Detroit has been engineering and building rather bland looking and driving vehicles. There are some exceptions, but the majority has been lackluster. Add to that the terrible build quality up until the past few years and you have multiple generations have never even had a domestic vehicle in their driveway ever. Detroit isn't going down without a fight though. Finally there are some executives that understand what is going on and slowly we have been seeing some rather nice automobiles in production: Cadillac CTS, Chevy Malibu, the new Saturn lineup, Ford Edge, Ford Focus, etc. Although Chrysler is still pretty much hopeless. It's a long upward battle for them to get anywhere near the market share they had in the past. You are right it is no longer the 1970s. Again it's all down to the product. The Japanese have the market cornered because they've built a reputation of building good quality automobiles. And they also know how to build them cheaper and more efficiently. They can price them in competition to domestic competition and usually price it a bit higher and know that they'll sell. Meanwhile, every Chevy dealer has to offer 0% financing or $5,000 cash back just to move the hundreds of Trailblazers they have sitting on the lot. And it's only the Joe Sixpack guys that go for this thing because they love the somethin' for nuthin deals. Do they not realize that there is a reason why the dealer is practically giving these things away?

I heard the news yesterday as well. Don't know what to say other than I was a huge fan of Bo's music. And I am really glad to be able to say that I saw this legend perform in the flesh. Looks like I'll be listening to the Chess Box today. Maybe I'll even tune down my guitar to G too.

Too many brands, too many models, too many plants, too many dealers. Closing some of the SUV plants is common sense if GM ever wants to be profitable again. Let alone survive as a company.

I'm in. Thanks.

I am sick of the Brewers winning the first 2 games of a 3 game series and not showing up for the 3rd. The team has been this way for years now and no one speaks up about it. This morning I heard an interview on the radio with Corey Hart and he was talking how they were happy to just take 2 out of 3. I wish for once that someone would stand up and say that this is not acceptable. Would it be hard for Yost or anyone for that matter say something along the lines of "Today we completely lied down in a game we should have won. Our hitters couldn't do jack squat against a relief pitcher and our pitching staff threw more balls than strikes today. Yeah, taking 2 of 3 is great and all, but this game was probably the easiest to win on paper and we didn't show up today. It's been like this for a long time and we need to stop being so complacent and start going for the throat. We have to start completing sweeps if we are to ever get out of mediocrity and become the elite club that this team has the talent to be."

I don't mind him on NFL Countdown. I have no use for him other than that. Especially anything baseball related.

I wouldn't be to comfortable with three unproven rookies in the infield and lineup everyday.

Just heard this while I was test driving a car. I have no idea what time the show starts. Doesn't matter because I'll be at work. ANyone else have more info?

I used to have that one a few times right after I graduated college.

It was kind of funny when Yost came to the mound with the trainer. All three were just standing there. The trainer eventually gave a "What do you want me to do?" look to Yost. It was kind of a bush league move on Yost because I doubt there is any "injury", but I applaud the move because it's obvious that Gagné has totally lost all of his mojo and is hurting this team. If this is the only way for him to work on his confidence in Nashville, then so be it.
