WHAT!!!???? Don`t they understand the hierarchy of waving?
Newer waves to older first as sign of respect.
Lower horse to higher first as sign of respect.
Everyone waves to big blocks first as sign of respect.
In my `79, I wave first to everyone. well, expect maybe a `75, but then it
is older.

I see mostly C5s and C6s around and most wave. However, the ear-to-hand
implant prevents some, but if no implant, they usually wave.
Very different from Ft Lauderdale in the `80s. Most new C4s down there
seemed to have no clue as to the tradition of Corvettes, or even any desire
to learn them. I had one ask why I waved, and after I told him, he had a
blank look on his face and asked, Why?

Mostly, I have 1.6 Crane roller rockers, T-Body AirFoil, K&N w/Open Lid,
HyperTech Programming
and I did the MAT sensor relocate and T-Body coolant bypass but they
caused it to run
worse at part throttle. And a Ripper Shifter w/ White Classic Hurst Knob.

Title: Men Are Back, Armed with Problems, and a Repertoire of Worries
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:08:28 +0000
Author: brandvc
 The SX4 - The men in black Well the headline maybe disappointing for many who own the SX4 and all men, but I do need to mention that the SX4 has some cool properties as any men would do. If one compares the SX4 with the erstwhile Baleno, which the SX4 replaced, it is silly to do so as the SX4 sedan is brilliance personified in comparison and built on an all-new platform. Sporting an Italian design, the SX4 has been developed as a crossover of designs for developing markets. Maruti has also introduced the all new aluminium M-series engine (M16A) for this car.
The SX4 looks pumped up shoulder to shoulder when compared with its predecessor, slightly longer I guess, much taller and wider. The well designed cabin looks massive and carries on over the boot which has ample boot space. the bonnet is steeply raked and there is plenty of room for passengers to park themselves both in the front and the back seats. The looks (both interiors and exteriors) which could be the best fit for the song – hey muscular, hey popular, spectacular…. A stunner when it comes to looks. The steering is slender and there are lots of nooks for storage in addition to the twin glove-boxes.
But pappu can’t dance sala as that’s not all that you would look for in this segment and a clear benchmark would be the arrow headed Honda City. As an automobile freak and having driven the Honda city from their initially launched model, I have fallen in love with the Japanese elegance called the City. Maruti is well-aware of this fact and ensured that the SX4 is not an ‘also-ran’ vehicle. It comes fully loaded and is available at an attractive price. So, is it good enough to give a run for the City at the helm? More on: http://brandvc.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/men-are-back-armed-with-problems-and-a-repertoire-of-worries/

Title: New 2010 Nissan Altima Leaked (details and photos) Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:09:29 +0000 Author: Trance4you The new images of the updated Nissan 2010 Altima was leaked to the web on the same day the company issued a recall for 26,398 Altimas and Maximas.
The 2010 Altima receives the reworked front fascia, now it features a slightly more prominent upper grille and a lower intake that’s molded in body color plastic instead of black. Flanking that lower opening are new foglights that sit inside boomerang-shaped recesses. We can’t make out much of the car’s hind quarters, but it seems the tail lamps have grown a in size.
Read more (details and photos)!!
Engine options will expected carryover, meaning we can expect a 2.5-liter four cylinder with 175 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque as well as a 3.5-liter V6 with 270 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
In terms of technology, the Altima is probable to deal a 4.3-crawl HDD navigation approach (with iPod connectivity), xenon headlights, and a 9 GB audio usage. More on: http://autoworld.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/new-2010-nissan-altima-photo-leaked-details-and-photos/
