Shno,

Please tell the members of your crew that we are all grateful for their service to our country. I was thinking about this last night, is there really any way to say thank you for the generations of men and women that have sacrificed so much so we can live so easily? Two quotes came to mind.

We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace. But there comes a time when soft power or talking with evil will not work where, unfortunately, hard power is the only thing that works. -- Secretary of State Colin Powell

They didn't want to go to war, they didn't want to leave their families, but when their country asked them to, they did, because they thought it was the right thing to do. -- General Norman Schwarzkopf

God Bless the men and Women who choose to protect us.
God Bless their families.
God Bless America.

Thoughts on this color? It's ICE Blue Metalic. Was thinking it was Imperial blue.

It's growing on me.

Well, you said you would be looking at blue. But after looking through the top and bottom of my bifocals, it looks more of a grey color to me.

Maybe you need a darker blue.

I'd wait for the 2012 models. Push-button start standard on LTZ, plus a 2 MPG highway bump.

Imperial Blue Metallic and Taupe Gray Metallic are going away though, along with the center rear headrest.

Was just at the Chevy dealership picking up a part for the Uplander, and looking at GS 'Vettes (yes the chance of a Zl1 as opposed to a 2012 GS or slightly used Z06 is decreasing by the day), and saw this color. Very nice, reminds me of anodized aluminum, definitely a strong sense of silver mixed with the blue.

In person the color has more depth and slightly more blue than is presented on my monitor.

Hey Pete would love your input in the Z28 forum. Look for the "hot topic" Z28 thread.

Thanks

OH HELL NO.

I demand GM start production on an ad that shows a bunch of Leaf owners stranded by the side of the highway immediately. There is no way in hell GM should let Nissan get away with this.

Suck it up Nissan, you built a half-assed, poorly launched car.
