  1. ESPN hottest female athletes that should 'raise some interest' around this topic little 'queen sasha cohen' can go home. the real skating queen is here.
  2. great pic, but i am drawing a blank on a great and witty caption.
  3. it's why around here, cars like Camaros are winter only cars. No one wants to run their pride and joy as an every day driver in the winter to have it eaten up by salt and have the chassis all beat to hell. So if you want a Camaro, you also end up having to have another car, which most folks can't afford. So between the winter abuse and RWD factors (being bad in slippery weather), that's why you can never count on big sales in the snow belt for cars that folks can't use or don't want to use 12 months out of the year.
  4. transfixed? i'm not sure what that means, but I DID feel something when i saw HER skating out there.
  5. of course, the costumes can be a little fruity too
  6. Jay Leno had Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto on his show tonight. 1-she's like the hottest thing since burning my hand on an iron 2-he pretty much gets no attention cause no one cares about the guy and that's ok because he has no personality to speak of anyways...his only function is to toss her around like a rag doll 3-anyone like watching the ice dancing on the olympics? i think it rocks. 4-i wonder if the italian ice dancer chick is still pissed off at her partner 5-i wonder when the new camaro will come back

    .....

    does the AVENGER come with a CAPE as an option?
  8. your take works for me. too bad the A3 and GTI are so much better frickkin cars. too bad the mazda 3 looks nicer and normal. to bad the SS Cobalt is faster.
  9. does this make the cars themselves any better?
  10. ditched twice and a few too many 360's and spin outs with the RWD. Not to mention the getting stucks and not being able to make inclines. Since FWD, only one 360 with my Diamante in an icy parking lot and getting rod of the cheap ass yokohamas solved that. Haven't been stuck or had any incline problems with FWD either that I recall. I don't think your incident is a drive wheel issue as much as just having a teeny bit too much fun!
  11. I saw a Caliber on the road today. I like it. It's got a bit of a 'pissed off dunebuggy' look to it. Chrysler scored on the styling of this one.
  12. the name Pursuit is FRUITY. G5, bleh. How bout Pontiac CANNONBALL?
  13. yeah, the srx exterior needs tweaks, the interior needs a complete replacement. i would not go x3 hunting. x3's are a joke anyways. but i guess every automaker needs a 'chick car' to sell. a ULS is too ambitious right now. I'd rather see the investment in amking the next CTS mindblowing and hurrying up the STS replacement and readying a new DTS replacement. Although I would still keep the DTS as it is for the fogeys and stuff.
  14. so if you buy a brand new car, you've got another 500 or more free that you can immediately spend on snow tires and wheels? got a place to store em? can you set aside some time to go get your tires rotated or even hoist up the car and do it yourself? we are a convenience society. that 500 bucks for most average non car folks works better in their 401k rather than on tires they only use 3 months a year.
  15. my friend the other day was whining about how his car expenses went up so much last year. HE got a new Passat and then she had to have a new vehicle too so she got a Pilot. He was bound and determined to not drive American anymore after a string of about 5 Chryslers (in which case I guess I can see why). Anyways, he started talking about premium gas and high insurance and not as agood of mpg as he expected. But at least he's not driving American crap anymore......... I'm guessing his insurance might be 20% higher and the premium gas is another 5-10% penalty. The Pilot gets 15mpg and the Passat 4 cylinder barely cracks 20. But that umbrella holder is SOOOOO worth it. Here's the kicker. He's even commented more than once now about the Pilot is not that great and how a lot of stuff seems cheap (to him). Of course, he wants a Touareg. And he's already had to have stuff fixed on the Passat. i bet the Intrepid never had to have the windshield replaced within 6 months of new, do to a stress breakage.
  16. BINGO!!!!!! he said what i meant. and the sonata and azera are both lackluster, and this is looking like a 7/8 scale version of those two visual disasters/dated designs. 06 sonata = 98 escort upsized 11%
  17. nah, he may be on to something.
  18. panther, who's the blonde in that cobalt photo? OUCH! by the way, that's a nice p*ssy you've got there. Looks like a nice one to snuggle up to. It bet that one feels good when it rubs up against you. hey, imagine how nice it would be to have a black on black Malibu SS as an option with the new 260hp ecotec turbo and 6 speed manual for around 20 grand? coablt SS is a VERY NICE car.
  19. since Acura has existed, I think its watered down honda's brand equity and they haven't done anything with Acura to make it a credible brand vs. Infinit, Lexus, MB, BMW, Audi. it basically highlights the problem that Gm has always faced and now honda and toyota will have to face up to. Having your image so dependent on st@rcher culture and fast and furious stuff waters down the brand too. No adult with kids wants to drive the same car that some dork has a fart can muffler and bright green paint on. Oh, and i forgot the 2 foot high 'aircraft aluminum' spoiler. Tell me those doinks don't destroy the brand. You want to expand and soon find out you need more than one brand and several more models. So all of a sudden, each additional model puts you under increased scrutiny. If you survive that, you ultimately have to feed the monster with more models and some of them are iffy (Ridgeline) and you soon find out being all things to all people is not that easy. And it ends up diluting your product line, just by default. At least in the perception eyes of the public. I mean, do you see Eddie bauer making biker wear? it will catch up with them over time.........what we see with honda are the seeds of its growth being a strain and the fact that toyota is going balls out for every segment and honda is not. Right now we have a phase where a large chunk of our carbuyers are buying hoyotahonda for the first time. time will tell how many of those customers will be so enomored with those cars like the original hard core die hard hoyotahonda fans. And as more folks buy those brands, look at how many more trips to service will get talked about around the watercooler. It will be at that point where the urban legends that have created about hoyotahonda will start to become destroyed. Lots of olks are expecting that they will never have to get this car fixed. When the stories start rolling in about how yes, you do need to fix hondas and toyotas too, the legend (no pun inteded) will start to come down to reality.
  20. UGLY UGLY UGLY its like a bloated and shrunken AZERA the new Sentra will feast all over this POS
  21. check out the GM news board topic
  22. "A lot of this bias can be traced back to the university weenies who bought VW and Honda 25 years ago because they were cheap and decent on gas. Honestly, these guys are in charge of these magazines and think tanks now" absolutely 100% true. it is the whole foundation behind all of this. Like I said in the other topic, popular mechanics has similar owner data but PM readers aren't of the same 'ilk' so MSNBC does not write stories about what PM 'white trash' readers are saying about their Lesabres.
  23. no, european cars are SO COOL and so HIP, they get a pass too.......
