    Personally I think Ford shot themselves in the foot with their approach to the latest Thunderbird. You’re basically taking a car that was once priced in the low 20K’s and redesigning and pricing it to the upper 30K/lower 40K. Pricewise alone you are approaching the price range of the C5 Corvettes when they were being sold brand new during 03-04. To add insult to injury Ford is taking a retro restyled car and outfitting it with a motor that in the eyes of many was servely underpowered (260 horsepower I believe).

    Things like this really turned off people towards purchasing a model and on top of that during this time the 03-04 Cobras were selling like crazy with a larger supercharged engine sporting 390 horsepower. Price wise the Mustang Cobras were priced slightly less than the starting price of a Thunderbird. I feel that if Ford were to price the Thunderbird in the price range that it is in, they should have increased the horsepower, otherwise it should have been priced somewhere in the 20K range.

    I completely agree. Like you said the boost the price up for no real reason, and then on top of that put in an underpowered engine, not a good move. Why would people want to buy the tbird (unless they are reeeaaallly into it) for that kind of money when they could get a corvette like you said for the same amount with a much bigger engine.

    I am a Sci-Fi Fan, I like all Star Trek except the Enterprise, & Battlestar Galactica.

    So wait do you not like Battlestar Galactica? I agree that ENT was the weakest trek series. They made the mistake of trying to develop a prequel, and well that just doesn’t work well because of all the causality. BangHead.gif

    Yup now they can do cross over shows and really go wild with the story line.

    It’ll really be interesting to see what they come up with. It’d be cool to have an episode of SG-1 where they go to Atlantis to help fight the wraith or something.

    I never really got into babylon or farscape. Supposedly the guy from Farscape is joniing SG1? Yea I like lot of the different scifi stuff out there. I used to watch the different trekkie shows and I am a big Star Wars nut. Also was a big fan of X-files. I really would have liked to seen the character that played Agent Doggit on Xfiles, to have stayed around and be a regular on Atlantis. Same with that one Baldwin guy that was a super soldier on Xfiles and he was also in many other scifi shows and movies. Would have like to see him as a regular on SG1 also.

    Sometimes I like to read gateworld.net forums for spoiler info. I see lots of bashes against Atlantis but I thought this season was pretty good. I am glad they didn’t drag this out where they couldn’t get back home and vice versa. I think that would have ruined it the show for me.

    Yep, Ben Browder from Farscape is joining SG-1. You might want to check out Farscape sometime if you get a chance, I bet you’d enjoy it.

    I’m also glad that they didn’t drag out the “can’t reach earth” thing because otherwise it seems kind of like a Voyager repeat. Plus this keeps it interesting..

    Hi Folks
    A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has screwed him for
    ten million bucks. This bookkeeper is deaf. It was considered an
    occupational benefit, and why he got the job in the first place,
    since it was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not be able to hear
    anything he’d ever have to testify about in court.

    When the Godfather goes to shakedown the bookkeeper about his
    missing $10 million bucks, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign
    language. The Godfather asks the bookkeeper: “Where is the 10
    million bucks you embezzled from me?”

    The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the 10
    million dollars is hidden.

    The bookkeeper signs back: “I don’t know what you are talking
    about.”

    The attorney tells the Godfather: “He says he doesn’t know what
    you’re talking about.”

    That’s when the Godfather pulls out a 9 mm pistol, puts it to the
    bookkeeper’s temple, cocks it, and says: “Ask him again!”

    The attorney signs to the underling: “He’ll kill you for sure if you
    don’t tell him!”

    The bookkeeper signs back: “OK! You win! The money is in a brown
    briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo’s backyard in
    Queens!”

    The Godfather asks the attorney: “Well, what’d he say?”

    The attorney replies: “He says you don’t have the balls to pull the
    trigger.
