&*^%$!!!
You only get viruses if you go places/download thing you shouldn't. Your friend's stupidity is not your computer's fault. With that said, sounds like he fubared it pretty good. Also, make no mistake: while Macs have less viruses that effect them, they do exist. Only Apple product I'm considering is an iPhone but I'm not ready to thanks to AT&T's price gouging. $70 a month is the cheapest plan for that thing. Also it can't send picture message...wtf.

Extended Warranty/Auto Services
You'll save lots of money if you're willing to get up, get a FSM and turn a wrench. Some things are best left to shops, but you can get a lot done yourself and its far more rewarding. It's also part of the joy of being a car enthusiast.

GM delays new Buick shipments on quality concerns
Good to know they are doing it now and not when the cars are already on the lot. Can't wait to see one though.

Hell no. The car was treated well it should be reliable, if you have an issue, parts are pretty cheap, they're easy to work on and oh yeah...you've got loads of people to help you. Just get AAA. Get Plus because basic is garbage.

If only it had a bed

Car Review template
Well I for one, want to know how car stack sup against its competition. You can compare directly via actual driving experiences or indirectly via horsepower ratings, interior volume, and so on. It doesn't have to include every rival, namely the closest one. Sure it may take a little bit of research, but that's what separates well written articles from "I liked it". Some research and facts, something a lot of people and a lot of rags seem to forget to do. It doesn't need to be a requirement,n it can be an option should you be so inclined. However, if I drove a Frontier, I would probably draw comparisons to the Colorado I drove, because they compete. I like the idea of a score system.

Thinking a cheap ($300) beater. I'm probably going to store mine and I'd rather not let rust attack the Prizm. So I'm looking for a car that runs drives and the important bits work. Can be any make or model, just something I don't have to care about. Saw a few things while window shopping...an Acclaim, an Accord, and a Camry wagon. Like I said, I don't want to care about the car...it's purpose would just be to get through winter and keep the others out of it. As far as nice cars go. Jessica likes the 300M a lot, so that's high on the list. It's her turn for a car next. After that, well it all depends on what sort of financial position I'm in.

I like the idea of breaking the review/article up into the following: [Photo] Introduction/Overview Exterior Interior Powertrain Ride and Handling Closing thoughts Several photos which include some (or all if you choose) of the following: profile, front, back, front 3/4, rear 3/4, some detail shots (wheels, headlights, interesting design elements, etc.), head on photo of dash, photo from door opening of front of the interior, photo pf the back of the interior, center stack, gauges, anything else of interest, trunk and engine bay. Photos should not be blurry. The review should include how the vehicle in question stacks up to its chief rivals, room design, power, ease of use, etc.

LED Lighting
To change the bulbs on my car you have to remove the tail lighst and the headlight. No big deal really. Headlights are held in by two long 7mm bolts each. and the tail lights are held in by 3 plastic wing nuts. As far as LEDs go, in theory they should last longer but i don't know.

Yep, Deep Water Blue Pearl. However I think this paint still has life left in it, it just needs some touching up.

Which engine for the C7 Corvette?
Also, The CT-V gets 13 mpg / 19 mpg / 16mpg The M5 gets 11 mpg / 17 mpg / 13 mpg The CTS makes 556 hp and 551 torque The M5 makes 500 hp and 383 torque So let's review: The CTS-V with it's pushrod V8 is faster, more powerful, and gets better fuel economy than the M5 with its DOHC V10.

Which engine for the C7 Corvette?
The Viper is naturally aspirated and makes 600 horsepower. We can play this game all day.

Which engine for the C7 Corvette?
Don't forget that the CTS-V makes more power with it's pushrod V8 than the M5 does with its DOHC V10. smk is a glutton for punishment.

I like dogs, normally smaller ones, but I'm a cat person at heart. Wouldn't mind a dog down the road.

I want to do something about the dent in my driver's door. i really hate it. I also need to have the rust spot fixed on the door frame. If I get spare money I would like to do this before winter, and I think my car will be sitting winter out.

I think its because it had loyal customers and it also hosted car shows. I don't know exactly...closed down when I was still young. Thanks! Yes it's original paint. You can make yours look good too I bet.
