Intrepidation

My computer is royally f@#ked...I can't get into windows...is there a way to access the files from say My Documents using DOS or whatever and copying them to another HD?

No problem, good luck!

F is for f@#ker...or f@#k-her or potato. `75 monarch if I'm not mistaken

Not quite sure how this: and this: Come anywhere near sharing body panels....note the lack of stupid ribbing on the Caliber.

I never said was perfect and at least I can admit when they make stupid mistakes or otherwise show "imperfection" When was the last time you ackknowledged Toyota did something stupid and/or made a mistake? Toyota's perfect of course...which is why the Fusion has a better interior and why half a million Tundras were recalled...or how about the newer, bigger, slow selling Tundra?

Looks pretty good to me...but then I like the Caliber's exterior to begin with. Should be a real monster if they somehow figured a way to manage torque steer and understeer without the aid of AWD.

Many of them do. However I see a few ES Shadows around campus that are still in good shape...there's also one that looks absolutely horrid. Most Shadows I see these days are base model 2.2L Shadows...many without painted bumpers...they look like $h!. I have seen a few 2.2L Turbos...and sometimes V6 ES models...although those engines were oil burners (and the 4-speed auto had issues..thanks Mitsubishi on both counts). It's rare to find a Shadow older than `91. I have never seen another black Shadow in person...strange considering the name

Sent you a PM with info that should be helpful :AH-HA_wink:

f@#king n00b.

As much as I'm sure you don't want to hear about it (because god forbid we talk about cars), I can relate. $10 part (gasket) for the fuel pump but because they had to drop the fuel tank to get at it it cost me like $260 in labor. The experience we had a while back was that the car (Spirit) would start up with no problem but after a certain amount of time would die...so does the way a fuel pump fails vary? (Starting right up then stalling later as opposed to not wanting to start most of the time).

I know, they have their language as well as English and special characters/symbols not found on US spec keyboards.

You guys make good pizza Dude the Japanese have an awesome keyboard! I want one of those.

God she's ugly.

Always an excuse.

I must respectfully disagree since I've never found the current generation Monte Carlo to be remotely attractive...and the only thing that looks good about it now is the front end. The GP is alright but somewhat of a step back from the previous gen's styling. To each his own of course.

Then uh..don't read the posts them..no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read about them. Nicer than Malibu, a Cavalier, a Sunfire, a Taurus, an Escort, or a Neon of comparable years. I've ridden in or driven all of the mentioned. I know better. And no $h! there are nicer cars out there, but I doubt you'd find many for that low a price.

Me too...I was expecting a rust bucket with a mismatched wheel Looks good..now get it fixed!

That actually looks cool. The Prizm is far better than the J bodies... Yeah, ours had to have the tranny replaced but I don't believe that is very common. The interior is so much better, the drivetrain is so much more refined...it handles better looks better sounds better... Little stuff breaks on them...like door handles...so many Corollas and Prizms have broken door handles. But that's what the junkyard is for. Plus it's pretty cheap to insure...much cheaper than I was expecting.

Just an observation Congrats though! (although I don't like that Monte Carlo body style).

The Vue looks quite impressive with lots of thoughtful features. The only thing that looks cheap is that hand brake...but that may be just because of the camera flash. The blue Astra is awesome.

Life goes on, but I hope Toyota suffers the fate GM suffered for being to big.

Wow not even the Shadow was that bad...yeah it had problems but never left me stranded besides that time the new battery terminal wasn't connected properly. In fact I don't ever remember it stranding someone. Dude, suggest an Intrepid It's way more reliable than a Sunfire! Much more refined too. So far all that had to be done to it was have the gasket between the fuel pump replaced...although I think it needs a wheel bearing (high mileage). Still, it's been extremely reliable so far.
