NEXTEL CUP

Right now it would have to be the new body style Corrolla. It is a bigger and less fuel effiecent car than the last model. The new version Corrolla gets 3 mpg less than the older version. This is why Toyota is having problems.

Now I know what I am going to be for Halloween. I am going as the Silver Ballon from the Ballon Boy incident!!!!!!!!!

I have a 1999 Dodge Stratus 2.4 inline 4. and myy AC compressor went out a week ago and I reparied it. I decided to go with the bypass belt till I could find time to buy a new compressor intall it and recharge the AC system. If you are going to use a bypass Belt you have two options to do this. One, go to your local auto parts store and see if your car could be ordered without an AC. IF it could be ordered without an AC, buy the recommended Belt and that should work. If not, you will have to do what I did. Take a flat tape measure, the type a tailor's use for clothes and put it around the desired pulleys you want the new belt to go on. Then get your measurement, rember to hold the tape measure tight against the pulleys. Then what I did was buy 3 different size belts. One that was my desired measurment, One a little smaller and One a little bigger. I ended up using the one a little smaller and then after I installed it I returned the other 2 belts. Also, when you go to the auto parts store, not all Belts are listed by thier lenghts. Usually only the premuim brands are listed by thier lenghts. For me, I went to Pep Boys and they had no brand listed by length. So I went to Kragen ( I live in Nor Cal ) and they carried a cheap brand and thier premium Gates brand listed by lenght. Now it has been 3 weeks since I completed my repair and I miss my AC. Defrosting in the morining takes about 2 minutes longer and the car gets stuffy once and a while. I am going to reapir my car in the next upcoming weekend. Also, I went to Midas and they wanted 550 for a new AC 250 , intall AC, New Belt, and AC charge. I went to another shop and they were about the same. I live in Cali though so labor is more her

First, in regard to the Fit's Automatice: THE FIT SPORT COMES WITH A 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC. No car as small as the FIT offers a 5 speed automatic, and the automatice the fit has has paddle shifters. Second, Anyone who knocks the FIT's back seat as not being functional and a class leading feature does not realize how poorly the other cars in this segment carry cargo. The FIT's seat folds absolutly FLAT. Not almost Flat. All the dam way!!. Also people should not knock the fold up feature either , beacause it is class leading also. http://automobiles.honda.com/fit/interior-photos.aspx Third, KIA has a car the goes head to head with the FIT. It is called the KIA RIO5. It has no fold flat back seat or a 5 speed auto with paddle shifter. And it also handles like the KIA it is.

The Fit is a Great Car!! It's great sales numbers in my opinion is beacuse it is the best well equipped car you can get that gives you great Gas MIlage. Just look interior pictures of the Fit: Example: The Steering Wheel it has Bluetooth, audio controls with the ability to scroll your ipod from the steering wheel. The interio also is the most driver friendly in the segment with 10 cup holders. Also add in it has a fold flat back seat and it makes it the most functional small car in it's segment. http://automobiles.honda.com/fit/interior-photos.aspx

GM is just getting a head start on the Camaro vs Mustang War. The current Mustang is sceduled for a complete redesign in late 2011 or early 2012. What people have to realize is that the current Camaro platform has to last for at least 4 years so the Camro built today must be competetive against the NEXT GENERATION Mustang. I am bias, but I think this Camaro will not be competitive with the next redesign of the Mustang. Reasons: 1., To expesive ( junker V6's is what makes the segmet profitable). 2. Too Heavy. 3. Ugly interior. Also I will post later, but this Month's CAR and Driver came in. On the Cover Corvette vs Mustang GT500 Comparsion. Quarter mile stats : Corvette 12.5 Mustang 12.7 Also by the way the Nissan Z 370 auto quater is 13.1

Terrible Article. The author of that article tries to suggest that this exstorstionist lawsuit actually has merit by mentioning BofA's other legal matters. What I also can't believe about this article is that an editor actually put her name on the article. The Article is just a series of fragments and lacks any clarity.

I wish I could find a picture, but the Camro interior is just a redesgin of the 1970s series Corvette Stingray interiors. My Brother has a 1976 Vette and I hate the layout of the gauges over the shifter. But in 1976 the inside of the Corvette felt like a jet fighter, and I dare anyone to get inside those 70's Vettes and I think today they still get that feeling. The Camro unforutantely, just looks cheap.

I know the Diesel gets great gas miliage. On Motortrend the TV show they used the Golf TDI and compared it against hybrids and it beat the Fusion and was very close to the Insight. I believe it averaged around 37 and the Insight got 40. The Fusion was at 35. But northing tops a Prius which came in at 49. The only thing about this car is the Diesel question? Has anyone looked at how many Gas stations actually carry Diesel? It is not very many in my opinion. I would say the ratio would be 1 in 5. Which does not sound bad, but imagine driving and not being able to pull off at the next gas station. On a family trip and unfamiliar with the area could put someone in a bind. Just wonder if anyone has any Diesel cars and they have ever encountered that problem?

Other stuff, like Cursive that are going the way of the Dinosaur: People rembering phone numbers, since all they do is scroll thier Cell phone. People actually knowing street names and being able to give directions. With GPS people now just follow the arrow. Spelling and Grammar. People now just type in Microsoft Grammar and when it come to spelling people just try to get close to spelling the word right and then use Autocorrect. Sometimes it leads to embarrassing mistakes.

You Guys are missing the point!!! Mcdonalds was ruled neglegent because they served Coffee at such a tempeture that is required under Federal Law to be labled and package in a certain way that would make it safe. The Coffee was not packaged safely and instead was a in a normal Cup, therefore breaking Federal Law. Think of the Hot Coffee like Gasoline. You can only transport Gasoline legally if it in a proper container. Federal law in this case would be OSHA , which proably to the law verbatium from ANSI. Also at the time of the Mcdonalds Hot Coffee Incident, Mcdonald's had a national media campaign advertising that they served the Hottest Coffee!!!!

The Woman won the Mcdonald's case because according to Federal Law if you heat a liquid to a certian set tempeture it is considered a dangerous substance and their are certain laws that go with it on how the Hot liquid must be stored and handled. In the Mcdonalds case, Mcdonald"s had a policy of heating thier coffee to an extreme tempeture that under federal law it qualified the coffee as a dangeroue substance and required it to be treated as stated above. Therefore becasue the Coffee was just inan ordinary Coffee Cup Mcdonalds was liable and neglagent. All Coffee house are aware of this case and that is why thye will only heat your Coffee to a certain Tempeture.

IF GM wants to be competive in the market they should NOT compete with the TAURUS SHO. 1st the Taurus wieghts in at 4,000 pounds and is longer than a Malibu, Camry or Accord. 2nd it gets terrible gas milage. Since Ford has retired the Crown Vic I would argue that the Taurus is the replacement for the Crown Vic. A bloated over wieght older generation applealing lemon of a car. Also as the previous posters pointed out the Cadillacs are at the same price point as the Taurus, wieght less get better gas milage and performance. Lets remeber what got he US automakers in trouble, it was making bloated overwight cars. Competeing with the Taurus is a battle that no one wins because that car market has disappeared.
