Intrepidation

Try PMing now, I made room

Yep, that looks like a good deal to me. I'll clean out my inbox now...been meaning to do that. My ebay account is valid too so it should be good times with no Cutlass soon.

I always fel the exterior of those were quite handsome...the interior...not so much. BUt at least it looks very well taken care of. Congrats!

Although you had a knack for starting heated discussions, which if nothing else always made the board more lively, it's nice to get some inside info. Best of luck! See you on MSN.

So far the only problem with it is not being able to find a replacement headlight door/mounting bracket and grill. Of course we could buy them new but they are like a hundred bucks a pop, so I'm still trying to find a junkyard that still carries one of these beasts. Come spring I'll probably do some touch up work where rust has formed (basically only under the rear window) and straightening out the fender and bumper.

How To Shower Like a Woman: Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks. Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas. Look at your womanly physique in the mirror - make mental note to do more sit-ups/leg-lifts, etc. Get in the shower. Use face cloth, arm cloth, leg cloth, long loofah, wide loofah and pumice stone. Wash your hair once with cucumber and sage shampoo with 43 added vitamins. Wash your hair again to make sure it's clean. Condition your hair with grapefruit mint conditioner enhanced with real passion fruit. Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for 10 minutes until red. Wash entire rest of body with ginger nut and jaffa cake body wash. Rinse conditioner off hair. Shave armpits and legs. Turn off shower. Squeegee off all wet surfaces in shower. Spray mold spots with Tilex. Get out of shower and stand on bath mat. Dry with towel the size of a small country. Wrap hair in super absorbent towel. Return to bedroom wearing long dressing gown and towel on head. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas. How To Shower Like a Man: Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in a pile. Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see wife along the way, shake wiener at her making the woo-woo' sound. Look a t your manly physique in the mirror. Admire the size of your wiener and scratch your ass. Get in the shower Wash your face. Wash your armpits. Blow your nose in your hands and let the water rinse them off. Fart and laugh at how loud it sounds in the shower. Spend majority of time washing privates and surrounding area. Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs stuck on the soap. Wash your hair. Make a Shampoo Mohawk. Pee. Rinse off and get out of shower. Avoid bath mat. Dry off forearms and butt only. Fail to notice water on floor because curtain was hanging out of tub the whole time. Admire wiener size in mirror again. Shake it to watch water fly off. Leave shower curtain open, wet mat on floor, light and fan on. Return to bedroom with towel around waist. If you pass wife, pull off towel, shake wiener at her and make the woo-woo' sound again. Throw wet towel on bed. If there is anyone among you who did not laugh at the truth behind this, there is something so very wrong with you.

If I wanted something bigger than a Malibu I'd buy an LX. Try driving a W and an LX back to back and you'll notice a ride and handling difference. Or hell, I'd buy another LH. Nicer interior (more soft touch surfaces) great suspension tuning, lots of features, better looking, very roomy.

Are they all the same brand? What brand(s) are they? How old are they? I used a crappy PNY flash drive that I got for x-mas in a Toshiba laptop with Vista on it no problem.

Defend to the death if you will, the Tahoe and Yukon are badge engineering. Although I do agree that it's the quality of the changes not the quantity. Sure the Tahoe and Yukon have good quality changes, but the design was good to begin with. Taken from the side or back they are very similar, you can tell they are related, only upfront do they look noticeably different. So we can say that the Tahoe / Yukon are badge engineered, but well done. For the record, I think Ford di a better job when they refreshed them:

"Let's show some concepts to demonstrate the idea that we care but take forever to actually put anything into production. That'll generate sales!"

Altogether now... Aww...

What do they expect without any new product and 3 models? The newest thing they have is the MCE 9-3.

The MIni and Astra are very nice cars, they would make great small cars to own. Still, I say smoke `em while you got `em because the Challenger and Camaro may not be around for very long..it may be the last time we see all 3 muscle cars together to duke it out. Besides you can aways get the V6 versions. So, it's a Camaro and a Challenger for me. Besides, I already have a small car get gets 40+ highway...so I'm covered.

I agree. Yeah, I never said that the changes they made to the Aspen made it look vastly different. Compared to the pre-MCEd Durango it does, but not the post MCE Durango. They don't equate to much and neither does the Tahoe/Yukon. The Yukon's only excuse is that GMC dealers tend not to be grouped with Chevy dealers, so you wouldn't normally see them together, but then if you have an Escalade next to a Tukon (especially Denali) you'll see similarities. I think the Aspen was created to give Chrysler dealers something to sell for those who wanted a Chrysler SUV and didn't have to look elsewhere. Since the dealers are being consolidated that makes the Aspen pretty pointless...that and $3 gasoline.

I'm looking forward to seeing a smaller Equinox replacement, the current one is very dated and outclassed. The Only breathe of life that keeps it going is the 3.6L, so it finally has a good engine (that's not from China). Still, it looks dated (the MCE should have made it look more like or exactly like the FCV, which looks much more modern). The interior looks ok but it's horribly cheap and build quality is horrible. The last oen I was in had misaligned panels and even panels that were pulling away from the body with little force.

I'm not sure what all of this talk of "presence" is about. To me, the Yukon looks like what it is: a Tahoe with a GMC fascia. As some other have pointed out, Chrysler actually di a lot of little changes to the Durango/Aspen. They have different goods, grills, bumpers, headlights, and taillights. The rear quarter stampings are different too (as opposed to being the same on the Yukon/Tahoe). They also made an effort to change the interiors a bit. Granted the interiors in the GM SUVs are way better anyway, so it's kinda moot, but still. The Aspen should have gone further or not exist. Anyway, the Yukon is very close to the Tahoe, closer than the Aspen, it's not until you get to the Escalade do you get more meaningful differentiation (door shapes, completely different interior, and so on). The Escalade certainly has a different presence than the other two.

It's funny but at the same time it would be a great transportation alternative for big college campuses and such. Just add a reverse gear. I love how it fits in the elevator and how you can tow it behind you like a suitcase.

It looks quite handsome in dark colors and the interior is worlds better. I like the soft padded armrests with stitching on them...very upscale. VW: Building a better Caravan, ya. Dear Chrysler: take a lesson or 3 from VW in building nice interiors. Apply. Repeat.

I'm not having mental breakdown ' I just find it curious that there are so many versions of the same thing, at least some of them are probably preproduction but the question is which. It's just curious that the Dodge site has different versions than what the auto rags are reporting. Then again, I've seen a couple errors on the site, like the Caliber SE Plus being available with a 5-speed automatic.

Best post so far.

So they did even less to the car. All new my ass.

So because I like a little technology to compliment my muscle car for times when I'm just commuting and not burning out rear the tires I'm a pansy?

I would rather hit, trying to explain to him is a waste of time as much as he is a waste of mass.
