Intrepidation

The Apache is very cool. Any Mopars?

Finally got around to washing and waxing the Intrepid. It took a while but finally I managed to get the damn writing off of the door, as well as realigning it, needs a little more work but it's getting there. Much better now Only sucky thing is that between 2000 and 2001 they for whatever reason changed the mounting height of the rub strips. Oh well, better than a big ugly dent!

Sixty8 stopped by the other day and we took a photoshoot of our black beasts. You can also see that the Shadow finally has matching wheels, yay!

More Updates New headlights installed...what a difference. They actually are useful at night now!

Now that's a coop car with class.

Oh...you mean THAT kind of stash.... That's cool...

I win (for most badass police car)

It may be a good idea to just keep the truck and use it once in a while and go with a cheap car, you can get some pretty nice stuff for not too much money. :wink: Although I personally wouldn't bother with an overpriced used car dealer unless it was a certified pre-owned one. As for the Cavi, if the impact bars are rusted (I dunno how big of a problem it is with J-bodies) you could alwasy bring that truck to the junkyard on a Saturday, find a Caviler with good bars, and spend an hour or so taking them off for $50 or so. I had to get a new one for the Prizm after the wreck, and it wasn't hard besides that one stupid nut that I didn't have enough leverage to get off. Luckily one of the guys at the yard was nice enough to you his monster ratchet.

Oh, believe me, it made my day

So Thursday we had a family trip which involved taking the Grand Marquis and the Intrepid 2 hours from Lawrence, through Boston, to UMass Dartmouth to move my brother into his dorm, as he starts college Tuesday. The plan was to get at least 6 hours of sleep, but instead we spent it watching Batman Begins and packing. We went to sleep at about 2:30am and woke up at 4:30am to be there by 7:30am. We somehow did this, I in the GM and my girlfriend in the Intrepid. Then when we got there we had to wait an hour in a line of cars for our turn to unload, then move it to his dorm and help hims set it up. Then we had to do extra shopping for things he forgot/needed. There was also a lunch break and finally helping him finish setting up. By about 3:30 we were exhausted but finished and embarked on the trip home..through Boston...during rush hour. I was in the Intrepid this time and her in the GM. Somehow we made it...and promptly went to sleep for about 14 hours. So who else has made a mini road trip or had a very long day with almost no sleep?

Hey wmj, welcome back! Where ya been?

Vehicle Tested: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan What Works: Stunning power with surprising refinement; looks fantastic; terrific optional Recaro seats. What Needs Work: Standard seats are too short and too mushy. Bottom Line: Let's see. It looks great and it's the fastest production sedan we've ever tested. The bottom line appears to be pretty damn good. Link to Full Article

Change the fluid, and the filter.

Yeah, knightfan brought it up for us to look deep into our soul and find the reverse meaning or something.

Maybe this is a place to post random things while intoxicated

Someone wanna tell me why this thread is "Compact car" but 2 of the current 4 photos are CUVs?

My hat goes off to him!

I'm all about the clean wheels designs. I like 5-spoke and double 5 or 6-spoke designs. Multipsoke designs I don't like as much, although BMW does a damn fine job with them. I don't normally care for chrome on most cars, I don't like black with rare exception. and I hate these kind of wheels:

A fart can salute one and all! Happy Birthday.

The Volt looks fantastic from what I can see, which is a lot thanks the that video. I think it looks better than the concept. This car really will change everything. Don't mind GXT, he is just pissing in the wind because he has to eat crow...recall back when the Volt was first reported for production that he said it would never happen.

I've also heard of open office and its ounds good though I've never usedit. I have used AbiWord before, which is very similar to the pre 2k7 Word. You can get it here http://www.abisource.com/
