  1. LIES!!! IT HAZ LESS ROOM TAN A ECHO!!!
  2. Buy a Charger SRT-8
  3. Buick is not the "American Lexus" because Buick was here long before Lexus or even Toyota was.
  4. Honda called and wants it's last gen Accord's front end back.
  5. Oh yes, this is so much more Pontiac than the G8 is.
  6. I dunno, if the Challenger makes it to a next generation they have more freedom with the car's design. This generation was retro, but the next could evolve it into something modern but unmistakably the Challenger like what the new Camaro is.
  7. Astronomy has always fascinated me.
  8. It was a gift, and to me it's worth every penny anyway.
  9. Not really, you see the output numbers Ford is claiming for their EconBoost engines, that make plenty of power. If you must have a V8 it should be limited to a very low volume trim level. But it wouldn't matter to you anyone since it's got 4 doors so it's not like it would effect your purchasing decisions. As Satty pointed out, ethanol isn't easy to just magically make massive quantities of and ship all over the place with the same speed and efficiency of oil. It's not a long term solution, IMO. Would you rather have a RWD Zeta with powerful and fuel efficient 4's and 6's or just have another FWD car with 4's and 6's? I say leave the V8's for low volume models like the G8, or if they are made available on high volume models, keep the number of V8 equipped ones low.
  10. LH cars are hard to find? Where do you live? They're everywhere around here. And yeah they make great cars (just skip the 2.7)
  11. I have no need for AWD, I manage just fine with the FWD machines I've got and I'm sure I could do fine with RWD, but you can't tell me 2 wheels are greater than 4 for it comes to traction. It's simple physics. That, and watch an AWD Grand Cherokee plow through 7 inches of snow like it wasn't there and try doing it with 2WD vehicle (I have funs that day!)
  12. It's $99.99 retail but mine came from newegg for $73.99 :3
  13. As I've said before what's the problem with putting fuel efficient engines in the Zetas? Hybrids, V6's, even turbo 4s?
  14. Logitech MX Revolution. Got it for X-mas after wanting it for over a year. Yeah baby! I love thing thing for so many reasons. First, it's the most comfortable mouse I have ever used or held. It's ergonomics are superb and the build quality and materials used are very nice. It has rubber inserts for your thumb to rest, the primary buttons are a one piece design, and the other buttons are nicely finished. Then there's the scroller, which is quite amazing. It's made out of alloy and not plastic with rubber grip in the center. It features what Logitech calls SmartShift technology, where the mouse can switch between from normal scrolling to nearly frictionless scrolling, that is the wheel can spin freely. It makes scrolling through documents a breeze. In addition, it can be tilted left and right to scroll horizontally. It also has back and forward buttons as well as a search button. The wheel on the side isn't a fully rotating wheel but rather you can push it for and aft to flip through documents. Sounds kinda gimmicky but it really is far quicker than selecting the document from the taskbar, especially when you have a lot open. It's also remarkably precise, looks awesome (as I said before) and has a rechargeable battery that has an impressive life cycle (I have yet to drain it more than half). It also connects to the computer faster than most wireless mice One of the coolest features in in the software that comes with it. SetPoint lets you set the functions of each button. By default these settings remain the same for every program, but you can customize the button functions for each and every program. So, for example, back and forward on Firefox can be Cut and Paste in PhotoShop. It can also hold profiles for other types of mice, like say a dedicated gaming mice (although this works fine for gaming), You can also customize all of the speed sensors of the cursor and when if at all, to engage SmartShift. You can even have dedicated game profiles for the mouse. Oh and I finally have a mouse to match the rest of the color scheme of my desktop There's only one flaw I've noticed. Because you press the wheel down to switch between stepped and frictionless scrolling, there is no middle mouse button. Normally this isn't a problem, but some games like The Sims 2 don't let you change the controls and the middle mouse button is an important camera controller. But with some ingenuity it can be worked out. Most games it's not a problem though. Finally, it's a Logitech. My experiences with their products have been excellent. They are durable, well built, good looking, and far more substantial and overall superior to the Microsoft mice. Sorry to sound like an infomercial, I just love thing thing!
  15. More importantly (to me) is that the Viper isn't on the chopping block. If it was I would loose all faith in Chrysler. I have to admit I'm impressed with the speed they took action...so long as they deliver the goods.
  16. That's interesting...apparently the Rams will actually be a bit lighter than the previous models. Way to buck the trend of gaining weight.
  17. I think the Mazda is making sexual advances on all who watch it.
  18. That Mazda haunts me in the night...
  19. Once again, how is killing a Zeta Impala a smart choice? If you put fuel efficient powertrains in it then it makes no difference what the platform is. No one has yet to answer me why the Zeta can be fuel efficient? It doesn't have to have a V8, or, it doesn't need a high volume V8 model...it can be mostly V6's or even turbo 4's.
  20. Why I got rear ended I was able to get a rental within a week and kept that Cobalt for 2 months. I got teh last laugh because that must have cost them over a grand.
  21. Let's not forget the sound a V8 makes that no other cylinder count engine can match.
  22. So it's all fixed?
  23. With the exception of the shifter I really like the production Camaro's interior...I like how the center stack appears to use fully integrated controls. Hurray for no more black ties!
  24. I have yet to see a 2nd one, which disappoints me, and I traveled from NE to the Tri-State area and back.
