Problem is, CR is a HUGE joke.............

I think a lot look good. i know the A5 for example is long in tooth, but it has aged gracefully. Yeah, had a Chihuahua before it was a high pitched. They have one, I believe, in Europe, just can't remember the name off the top of my head though. Semms like i was a decent looking litle thing, but can't remember for sure. Yup, he has failed and left many with being pushed into bankrupcy all at others expense in building his own personal wealth. He is a man that knows nothing of how to build and grow a profitable business. He is no different than the Idiot Hillary and all the other DemoBots and RepuliRATS that also know nothing of how to work within a budget. So far 2016 is looking to be a year to pick the least of all evils as we currently only have morons running for president. I eel that way every election. We do need politicians (President, Congress, and Senate) that will concentrate on he economy and jobs instead of the petty BS they constantly fight about.......

The Chorkie got mad and barked at me for the first time this morning LOL. Has a raspy little bark, I am guessing that is more Yorkie?

True, but those deals aren't available all the time and you can get the dealerships to move on almost any vehicle.

Hahaha Yeah I'll take up with our on my chest lickin my face.. The short/puppy cut looks the cutest too, for sure. Hang in there man. Agreed with 'Bong.. Hang in there and do your best to keep your head up. It isn't always easy to be positive, but you have to in tough times.. thanks guys, doing my best and hanging in there if just barely.

I would price out a fullsize with the same options and configuration of our Colorado. i can GUARANTEE you are looking at a price premium of at leaast 10k more. In my drive i had no problem with the powertrain and I drive a V8 04 Dakota everyday.

OMG you have so many pups running around! When they're puppies they sleep all the time.. heck I think I read that yorkies will get like 16hrs of sleep/day. From sleeping at night and then sleeping while nobody is home. Makes for a lot of fun playtime lol. The oldest one is my Beagle Sally, had her since she was born and she is 9 now. Yes, I spent quite a bit of time there in my early 20s. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling that way, buddy. You have to dream big and keep hope alive. Stay active and busy, then find small victories in life you can hold onto. Enough of those small wins can really add up positively in your life: organize your room/garage/living space, learn something new, save up a tiny bit of cash every day to buy something you want, whatever is important to you. Another thing that's always been hard for me is letting go of the past when it holds you back like an anchor. I have just had a 4 year bad luck streak and it is just coming to a head I think.

Oh $h! man... Sounds like a pain in the ass situation. Who ends up paying for those damages in a situation like that? does that fall back on you or the dealer..? I could see cases for both. Chorkie eh? I've never heard of them, so I looked them up lol. For the most part they seem to look more Yorkie than Chihuahua, which I think looks cuter. Regular Chihuahuas are not appealing to me.. Hopefully yours isn't yappy like them either lol. Any pictures of your little pup??? How old is he/she? Not the best pic, I had my flash turned of DOH! Also have a fleet of Beagles lol. Here is one of the pups. She/he looks like a little cutie! I think one of the biggest reasons I love yorkies over other 'toy' breed mixes with yorkies is the black in them, like yours actually. I love the black and brown. I know it slowly grows out of them but it's awesome while they are still young. Ours still has a all black back and partial back legs. I wish her ace was still black and dark brown like when they are puppies. He is a little rascal. He sleeps, plays for a bit, then back o sleep. He is 8 weeks old. He is prett fearless too. Was picking on the cats last night even though they are 2-3 times his size haha. 11 Beagles right now and one about to have pups. he Chorkie is the only purely inside dog. Also have a German Shepherd/retriever mix who is uge and the packs protector.

Does anyone else get so low hey just don't want to deal with it anymore?

Whhhaaaaat?? What did you do, stew?! +1. We at least need a story, man! I'm assuming you're okay because you made to back here..so that part is good. Basically I went to drive that Black Ram Express I had talked about earlier. Went up the road the dealer advised and got behind a Trike moving at a slower pace. I came to a passing lane and went to go around. Pretty sure they sped up on me. The lane ended WAY soon and at this point I was already committed and halfway by. Gave it some more gas, didn't see the sharp left-hander and bounced off the guardrail. Damage was minimal, dented and scraped on the side of the bumper cover and a scrape across both passenger doors. No injuries except to my pride and probably my wallet. It is all really kind of a blur at this point. I know the police was making them haul it back to the dealer because I wasn't going that fast (lack of major damage/skid-marks) and thinks there may have been a steering malfunction. There's the story, nothing too scandalous haha. Oh, that was my first real accident in 20 years of driving. Oh $h! man... Sounds like a pain in the ass situation.

HA! My is what I highlighted. I really don't drive any different when it's raining, unless it is a downpour - obviously. Actually, quick story. About a month ago the GF and I were taking our little girl to the vet Aww...a Yorkie. I have 4, 2 boys and 2 girls.. Got a Chorkie pup Saturday. Trying to figure out which parts of his personality comes from the Chihuahua and what comes from the Yorkie lol.

Nah, would be one violent start to a relationship lol. Sticking with what I got for now.

thanks guys! Frisky, my brother got a different A3 for his loaner again. Same options, but this one was white with the black interior (other was silver with beige). Still a like, not love, situation. I really like the front sensors/Camera though. Worst cupholder position ever though, right in front of the dash. larger cups don't fit and if anything is in it it blocks out the climate control completely. Anyways, he got his A5 back. Had to have new bearings in the front and new pistons/rings/seals. Thank goodness he has the CPO warranty!

no pics, but I was really enjoying the truck until that point lol.

Well, I have no idea why they put a 3rd passing lane that goes directly into a sharp curve.............

New Ram's bounce of guardrails pretty well.................

Old Ford truck, now if were talking about a Riviera boat tail.......

the sleeper effect can be fun Sure would be, if the Malibu had a limited slip or transmission that could handle anywhere near the power necessary. There's a perfectly good tune for the turbo that makes 300 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, but this guy's making the insane leap to "125 whp" from bolt-ons because racecar and DI-turbo like Cobalt SS. It's super cheap and easy!! Until you grenade the transmission, burn up the turbo, or blow the engine. Ya might just drive into oncoming traffic because there's nothing keeping the front wheels working together. true. I planned to get m GTP in he 12s, but hen bad things started happening to it (the transmission grenaded with 13.9 1/4 mile HP lol. Of all people, I absolutely get the sleeper appeal. I'm still looking to get a bit more power myself, but it's all within factory limits and retains driveability. At least the GTP actually offered the aftermarket hardware to make the car go faster properly, and it was marketed as a performance sedan. Everything for a Malibu turbo would have to be custom fabricated. Very true, he would probably be better of getting a used Colbalt SS or GTP and take advantage of the aftermarket for them.

They think they are real real fast cars..and they need to go real real fast right now! Honestly, I don't know why people ride bumpers so often w/o passing. If I'm up on somebody, I'm looking to pass. Otherwise there is no reason to be that close. And I don't know why more people almost refuse to pass but they'd rather be on my bumper? I don't understand that. I pass all the time if the person in ront of me is going too slow or even if they just aren't using cruise and going all sorts of different speeds. I don't hesitate to pass if I don't like the vehicle in front of me. I don't force the issue with oncoming traffic but if it's clear..I just go on past.. Too many times somebody will be on my bumper when there is zero oncoming traffic. Grinds my gears. It annoyed me this morning, had 98-02 Firebird and 99-04 Mustang both do it at different times on my way in. heck, not like i was going slow, about 5-10 over the limit when not stuck behind a slow coal truck.

What is it with owners of older V6 pony cars wanting to ride our bumper.............. the sleeper effect can be fun

I try that... but i'm mostly just tired. I tried that approach for years, working hard through college and grad school, the first decade of my career...stayed hungry and strived to achieve. At some point, burnout and exhaustion set in along w cynicism and self loathing and the realization that corporate life is all $h!, just varying degrees of effed up ness at each dysfunctional organization. The challenge is to stay conscious through each day amidst the mind numbing tedium and then knock myself out with powerful meds at night... Know hat feeling..............

Good advice

Many around here are in the pill trade, unfortunately not talking pharmacist haha.
