For what it’s worth (<$.02)– I think Steve’s Five-0 rides were typically Mercury Marquis. Danno, Chin and Kono were relegated to the lesser Galaxy 500’s…

Hey, I just came back from Puerto Vallarta (honeymoon!). Great place to go when you don’t want to worry about having a schedule or fret over hurricane weather. Justin, try the parasailing and a booze cruise! You can also find some high-quality guayaberas for decent money. How many time-share sellers have you managed to avoid?

@peteski:

Yikes! Sorry!

Original GM statement: V6 yes, V8 yes. Manual transmission for both, yes.

Later on GM statement: V6, no, V8 yes. Manual for V8.

Then: V6 no, V8 yes. Automatic only.

Now: V6 yes, V8 yes. Automatic only.

To clarify, concerning the Pontiac Truck.
they said:
V-6 yes no
V-8 yes no
and now its going to be:
V-6 yes no
V-8 yes no
I listened three times and I still can’t figure it.

The pronunciation of Peugeot is “Pear-show”, but in the UK we call it the “Purr-show”. Not “Poo-show”!

Mind you, their cars really are a load of “Poo-show”…..

P.S If Mr Berkowitz is on holiday, is it really necessary for him to do the podcasts? Give the guy a break! ^_^

Someone better tell Moses Znaimer that the UK hasn’t picked up on the term “Zoomer” yet.

Having solved all of the UK’s other problems the UK governement invents a slow old people sign to replace a normal yield sign.

The last time I visited, UK motorists were not required to yield to pedestrians.

It’s surprising there wasn’t an immediate outcry about those signs. Just look — the above-median-age people depicted on the sign have dark skins. Obviously, an attempt to impugn minorities as old and feeble! And there should be a lot more diversity. Better add a representative Eurasian, Polynesian, Inuit, GLBT (one each), Cro-Magnon, etc. This whole affair shows a need for a full investigation by the European Union. Whitehall would just cover up the scandal.

Is there really a need for separate signs for old folks? I mean, don’t UK motorists have to yeild to pedestrians of any age?

The worst, and funniest, sign I’ve sign in the US is the Slow Children Playing, which of course can be misread by the immature mind as a bunch of slow children playing…
