BMW 700 series!!! oh, no. never mind... A boy can only dream...

Dat.... Color... I'm gonna federalize the shit out of this in another 25 years...

My one friend went from a Cavalier to a GMC Yukon and I don't feel safe in either.

Oceans, Skys, Icebergs. Blue is the new green, blue is "green" without the 1960's mental association in the consumer??? I thought there was a news story/report in like 2006-7 that said 'blue is the new green'... maybe blue is the recession-proof green?
