Intrepidation

Saab has something newer they do with a couple of (-3's that is even cooler. That music from the Isuzu one is kinda catchy.

I don't like dead silence all the time, especially depending on the car, but the Intrepid's quitness is very nice, and when you accelerate, you hear it, but it sounds good. Now a Charger R/T or something...I wanna hear that

Today my friend and I (the one with the Corolla) were getting out of clas to go to somewhere in Mass to take pictures for my photography class. We got in my the car (I had the Intrepid today) and I started it up. I went behind the seat to get my camera out. Apparently he either forgot I started it or didn't think I turned the key al; the way because he asked Him: "Is the car on?" Me: "yeah" I put it in reverse back out Him: "Wow, it's really quiet" Seems every time we go for a ride in it he's more impressed with the car. So how quiet (GTOs and other loud V8s/purposely loud vehicles need not apply ) or how refined is your vehicle's engine? Like I've said before, for all the problems the 2.7L is known for, it's been a great engine so far to me. It's very smooth and quiet, and it idles at about 800 rpm (I think, I'd have to double check). It does make some pretty nice sounds when you open up the throttle though :AH-HA_wink: As for the photos, I won't know until I develop them but they should be awesome..we went to a waterfall somewhere past Fitchburg...got some awesome pictures near the base of the falls..plus some cool ice build-up on the nearby rocks. On a side note he thinks the new Tacoma is ugly and looks like a bug

Cspec, it's pretty clear you've been Sorry.

But...it's a Wrangler not a Cadillac...it's not supposed to be soft and plush...it's an off road machine...if it fulfills that purpose, and be more livable on the pavement, then I'm perfectly happy that that is where the money went.

Don't you love how they can and will find any excuse to justify raising the oil prices? As if they weren't high enough. They aren't fooling anyone...they're in it solely for the profits. Pretty soon we'll have a headline like this: "Light Bulb burns out at oil refinery...the damage from this blown bulb (which is located in the men's room) caused oil prices to skyrocket."

But the economy's doing great! ...right?

+ + + = Seriously though, I like it...it's different from anything in it's segment...first "bold move" since the Mustang.

Bitter sweet then?

Tell the low employment rate to Detroit. Also, working at McDonald's doesn't count...even though that's probably what they are counting as "employers" They always hire...but you can't make a living off that.

Newegg is inhumanly fast with their shipping and they are very good about replacements. I've never had anything to complain about them...their selection is awesome, the prices are unbeatable, the reviews are very helpful and as I said, they ship with incredible speed. Both of my computer are from newegg. I'll never go back to buying retail. Once you know, you newegg.

Wow it actually looks like it came from this planet.

That is true... The interior actually reminds me of Volvos latest designs...especially the general shape of the center stack (not counting the floating design).

Exterior is good interior design sucks...they make some of the ugliest interiors on the market...Hyundai has nicers designs...even DCX has some better ones. That being said they still use some of the best materials (for the most part).

Because it's a refresh? Most refreshes don't offer substantial changes...th Interior and diesel are big news in and of themselves...the better looking front end is just icing on the cake.

It's not a particularly acurate "example" when you consider it's a "custom vehicle with bits an pieces from 2 different vehicles from 2 different generation that are in 2 different segments. It's a piece of ugly crap...but I think Fky should buy it...maybe Toyotas will be too afraid of this monstrosity to hit it

Sleep-in...work...do homework...just like any other Sunday.

Why? It's tasteful and not overwrought...it's something that won't look dated right after you buy it.

Remember that old Toyota pickup they destroyed on Top Gear but it still ran?

Most rental agencies list cars a size class larger than what the actually are...the Neon is midsize too Anyway, the `93-`97 Corlla/Prizm aren't too bad in th back...if you move the seat up one notch from it's farthest back position...I'm 6'1" So I'm not exactly small. That being said it's not match for the roominess of the Intrepid.

Sixty8 you should come by either the school or the house sometime, I'd love to see it!

What about the wrangler? Now that I think is the best looking Jeep, ever.

Except materials wise it sucked total ass...the previous gen GC had a far nicer interior in that respect...I wish they would show us the damned interior already...are they afraid?

Looks like it hasn't aged to well to me... FYI I never liked the front end of of the pre-refreshed Durango That's...something else...

If I paid for a service or product then it damn well better be worth my money and not a sub-apr product. Case-in-point: McDonald's...when you get old food they pre-made like a half hour ago..my girlfriend usually deals with it...I don't...I go right up to the counter and tell them I wants something made withing the last 20 minutes...this tastes horrible. There was this one time my girlfriend and I ordered double cheeseburgers..you know..with 2 pieces of cheese? All 4 of them had only one piece each..so I went up and told them that there was only 1 slice...this punk at the assembly table tried to tell me "that's how they're made now". That evening I wrote McDonald's headquarters about this incident, in a professional but very assertive manner. Since then all of my double cheeseburgers have had 2 slices Same when my power supply broke...I immediately RMAed...I paid for it..I'm not just gonna say "oh well, I'll buy another one" to a product I paid more than a hundred dollars for.
