Intrepidation

The thread regarding this issue was brought up 5 months ago...

It pays to read the other forums... http://www.cheersandgears.com/index.php?showtopic=28340 At any rate, we're planning to find something better to offer as exclusive than a couple of dead forums that no one participates in.

I like the Soul, it actually has Soul and it's certainly a better styled box than the xB and Cube.

It was brought up whether to do this or not with premium members. Most of them said they paid for the benefit of the site, not access to a couple forums which are mostly dead right now anyway.

As of today there are some changes being made to the forums. Nothing earth shattering, but it should help organize topics a bit. Product Questions and Reviews Located in the C&G Tech Corner, this is where members can post questions, comments and reviews about Auctions and Classifieds This is where all of those eBay, Craigslist, and any other classified ad can go It's located under C&G Social Central. Off Topic News Located as a subforum of The Lounge, any news that isn't car related can go here. Finally, Rated R and Politics will be opened to all members. However, non-subscribers will have to consult with an admin to get permission to enter them. Enjoy!

Another thing to add to my list: When a company's vehivle wins in LeMans, WRC, F1, etc. They're proud of it. Not even Toyota seems proud of (only) being able to go LEFT.

Video Walkarounds of the cars I thought I'd share. Still have to do one for the Prizm.

I prefer fish, orbital constructs, guns and snakes myself.

That was TMI my friend.

They did, it was the 2nd gen Neon. There's also first gen Cloud cars that could be had with a manual. As per the transmission. We've got a manual in addition to an automatic. The manual is fun and all, and (in theory( more durable, plus you can tell it what gear to be in without any bitching, but for cruising around, long trips and such...I'll take the automatic, especially in a large, comfortable, yet good handling package.

Well if you're planning to tinker with it anyway, then so long as the first gen was cared for it should be fine. I drove one when I was car shopping. snappy little car that handled very well...but then that same car I found had caught fire a few months back, possibly due to faulty stereo wiring.

If you're thinking Neon, I would definitely go with the 2nd gen, since they're much more reliable than the first gen Neons. Plus then you're just a few trim levels away from an SRT-4. Unless you know the first a first gen that was well cared for and had the headgasket done.

I think the Nitro looks good, but it is completely pointless with the Liberty being in the same showroom.

This reminds me of a fun "story", in Gran Turismo 3, you had to do an endurance race on Super Speedway, which is basically an oval track. The Trick to winning was getting the Suzuki Escudo, tying the analog sticks together, and and go do something else for four hours while the car just road the walls faster than the other cars were driving. Try doing that in any other race track that isn't an oval.

I don't like NASCAR for the following reasons: Their cars don't even remotely resemble real cars. "So much for Stock Car Racing" It's all about the money and not about the racing All they do is turn left Watching Go-Karts is more entertaining (they go left and right), even more to drive Any other forum of racing is more interesting, be it LeMans, F1, Drag Racing, Formula Drift, WRC, (where the cars actually look like their production counterparts). When I was younger I used to watch it from time to time, but I soon realized there are better things to watch. I for one, was annoyed that Chrysler pulled funding from their Drift teams but not NASCAR.

Take a Look at Me Now Buick Launches new advertising campaign. Buick is launching a new advertising campaign to help promote itself, especially the new LaCrosse. Check it out after the Jump. Link to story

I've never had any of those, not even the cheese-whiz, and quite frankly, don't think I'm missing out.

With Photoshop, anything is possible.

Slap a Chrysler and Town and Country badge on the Routan and call it a day

CT's not all that far from MA, you could always make a trip/meet out of it.

G3/Aveo G5 xB and xD (but the name is hilarious). I actually like the tC Chrysler Sebring, especially the convertible G6 especially convertible The BMW 5 series hatch $h!brick thing BMW X6 BMW 1 Series (overpriced, not pretty and cheap inside) All of Acura's lineup besides the MDX (it's grown on me) Toyota Corolla. The last was boring but at least it wasn't ugly The new Lexus hybrid that looks like a Corolla Nissan Cube (I like the last gen, this gen is a major step backwards) Ford Focus. Good for Ford that it's selling well, but it's still ugly Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe

Yeah, and the Rotary is a neat engine even though it's probably a PITA to maintain. As far as F-Bodies go, I like the first, second, and third generation.

I never said I wanted to own either of them. :wink: The 4th gens are my least favorite generation.

I like the RX-7 better than the 4th gen Camaro. I'd also like to replace the exhaust manifold on the Prizm, but no yard in the area has one that isn't cracked, so I may have to buy a new one.
