I learned while piloting my POS hand-me-down K-car sans cup holder that it was easier to eat the 2 McDonalds cheeseburgers meal than the Big Mac meal on the way to LA after the Kannan Rd stop.
LOL. I've learned that, with age, I'm not nearly as good at that kind of multitasking, period! Back when I was 22, I had no trouble piloting a '68 Dart V-8 with a loose suspension and disabled power steering while wolfing down almost anything. But now, at the age of 37 38 oh, let's just say "30-something" I have trouble eating and driving even in today's much more precise cars.

One thing not to like about the new LaCrosse is the trunk is miniscule. The competition has it beat by a lot. The Taurus is 20 cubic foot and the LaCrosse is only 12.8 Cu ft. I would look at what Ford has to offer before I jumped too high.

I dunno; it's nice to have something to drink after an hour or two of driving without having to pull over and dig under the seats for the water bottle that went flying at the first sharp turn. I suppose it depends on the type of driving one does.

I have yet to drive one, but I really like it. It makes my girlfriend's 2005 LaCrosse look OLD!!!If there wasn't so much life left in the current car and the economy wasn't so crappy, we'd definately would buy it. I told my girlfriend if she really takes care of it and doesn't wreck it, her '05 LaCrosse will last at least as long as my '88 Park Avenue.

The Chevy Caprice has been sold in the Middle East for years, based on the Aussie Holden, and now it is coming here
Torque, how is it any different when the ME Caprice and Pontiac G8 are both rebadged Holden Commodore? There's nothing new besides cosmetics and badge (okay if you're pushing it the Commodore has steering wheel on the right).

Remember the plastic cup holders you could buy at K-Mart that fit over the transmission hump or hung from the doors? This is what people used for cup holders before they became standard on cars. They were flimsy things that didn't keep your drink from spilling anyway. As for me, I avoid eating or drinking in any of my cars and forbid others to do so as well.

I have cooled seats in my Cadillac DTS Performance. You can hear the little fans in the seat when the car is sitting still in the garage. I had my DTS out yesterday and had the cooled seats on. I pulled into the garage, turned off the A/C and radio, but kept hearing this whirring noise and wondered what the heck it was. Turned out I left the cooled seat on. I always thought they worked with the A/C, but it looks like they work independent of the A/C.
