Intrepidation

Too bad I can't change my vote...after seeing better pictures and getting used to the car, I love it.

Ford could take advantage of Toyota's supreme PR department. They can make any mess sound good! And they can sell bland cars like hotcakes...just what Ford needs!

Since I've seen plenty of computer related issues as of late, I thought it might be fun to list what type of computer you've got and the specs! You can be as specific as you want!

Mine does that sometimes...no idea why.

I also have no idea why it likes to randomly restart itself at times, either.

Macs are looking better all the time. I want to give Vista a shot first, though.

Vista has bugs in it that won't be fixed in time for launched, supposedly Windows Update will fix them so the consumer never knows. I've heard nothing good about Vista from people who've tried it.

System Restore worked.

But it:

• Made my Firefox theme vanish right into thin air.
• Put a bunch of stuff I deleted from my computer back onto my computer.
• Cleared my cache.

Guess that's normal. Inconvenient, though.

That's what system restore does. I'm guess the theme you were using you got or applied after teh restore point, so you'll have to redo that. Cache is easy to clear, and deleteing isn't so bad...just be careful what you delete.

I built my PC (this is my 2nd build), and it the most awesome thing I've ever used. It blows the G5's at school away, and my old comp too. It's also super stable and it has never crashed on me. The only issues I've had was a plugin I got for Firefox made the browser crash, but I got rid of it so no worries.

Benz coupes will always look more substantial and luxurious than BMW coupes.

True enough, although BMW coupes tend to be more fun to drive.

What is that? it's like some sort of de-suved suv. does not look powerful at all. Not appealing to the eye. And the paint job in the front hurts my eyes. I mean come on? who would want to buy a zebra colored car? not me.

You're being sarcastic right? That's camo.

Cool.

When did this start happening? and what OS are you running on? If you've got MS 2000 or XP you can try System Restore and restore it to a point before this started happening.

Someday in the not so distant future I bet one of Pol-Pot's relatives

will start producing cars. They'll be cheap looking and inferior

knockoffs of a 1997 Honda Civic but with a ugly waterfall grill. The

logo/emblems will look like a Onion is eating a pencil sharpener &

doing #2 on a triangle.

They'll call it a "Slaughter FU-666" and this goofy looking prick will

trade in his 2017 Camry-Solara-TRIPPLE-CAM in one a beige one.

That...was random.

I am an one of those people who will come in and fight, fight, fight, fight and fight some more. Look at it this way my Bonneville SLE was $32,935.00 sticker... (Never would pay that!) The dealer had the car listed at $26,349.00 (with 3,000 miles it was a dealer exec. car) as I recall, but that was too high (but I LOVED the car and had to have an SLE because of the styling and my wife wouldn't let me get a GXP because of fuel economy. This was June 15ish 2005 keep in my mind I drove down to the dealer the DAY it was listed and I let the games begin... I made NO mention of my trade until the end, so I got him down to $25,000... I am like not good enough Kerry, he came back and counter offered me with $23,749 (I had wanted $22,000) I said no way Kerry. He went back into the boss and said $23,000 is my lowest. I said why thanks for your time at that price I do not want the Bonneville. Oh, John just wait here lets see what I can do... (As I was walking out the door by the way) Alright John let me go back and talk to my boss again (3rd time) okay I can do $23,000 I said Kerry thats still 1 grand more than I want to spend! Okay he said I can do 22,499, I said sorry that is 500 more than I will spend. Walks back the his boss again and comes out with a smile alright John how about $22,000 even? I said no thats still a lil' more than I will spend, says alright, how about $21,966? I said Kerry you got yourself a deal. I quickly wrote down that number and I said I have a trade... His eyes pop out of his long head, okay a 1992 Cadillac Sedan Deville 90k he takes a look at it and says... How about 1,000 grand I say no way I can ebay it for double or closer to triple. Went inside to see the boss how about 1,500 I said naw, then he said okay I can do $1,933 so the car is an even 20,000 (plus tax etc.) I said thats fine... That is how I love to buy a car and play the game! I have been doing it since 1971 on my first Azteck Gold Bonneville Sedan! I wouldn't buy a car anyother way, three long hours later the car was mine!

I find the car I want if it is not a good deal I work 'em over till I get what I want, or I walk. I don't just buy a car that has a good price. (I hate that! I won't settle for less!)

What a scheming, underhanded bastard you are! Very well done. :AH-HA_wink:

Guess what ass was in the paper today? Yep...the dead animal and it's pedestal.

Gotta love `em

When will the Corvette ditch the leaf springs?

Stratus? Oh wait that was taken...

Cumulus?

Stars?

Banana?

Uh... nice names. Atleast SOAD gives their crazier songs interesting names... like "Cigaro".

and Violent Pornography

I'd rather buy a used SRT-4

(in black or electric blue)

Hmmm not really familiar with TTC...or did you mean TCC?

Yes XD

you mean it's not fun to watch? :AH-HA_wink: it's not good, I know. Sometimes I just like to stir the pot, other times he just elicits a response with the points he goes after

Ok I admit, it is a bit entertaining, just don't get the thread locked

unless things have changed since I heard that the pacifica specific chassis was canceled, the truck itself was just on hold. It quite possible the d-seg crossover they mentioned is the next gen Pacifica.

That would mean it shrinking, and probably downgrading it's interior

now i see why they postponed/canceled the Pacifica chassis, cause they are going with the D-seg chassis instead.

I still think it's a mistake to cancel the Pacifica.

Looking at Chrysler, its just painful to see that amount of incentives being used. Ok I admit..it's a little funny too. Nissan and Toyota's increased incentives didn't come as a surprise as I've been seeing their commercials a lot lately, BUY BUY BUY!

As for Honda, the RL is just enjoying its existence sitting there on dealer lots and even with incentives I'm not sure I'd buy the thing. There are much better competitors out there or coming soon from other manufacturers and within Acura as most people prefer the TL over the RL.

"Our analyst are actually predicting an increase in GM market share for 2007."

When was the last time we saw that typed out about GM?

IMO, Edmunds is a good car site whether you believe it or not and one I visit daily along with C&G. It's not that they've "gone soft", it's because GM is starting to make good products and naturally, good news follows good products. Saying Edmunds is becoming soft towards GM is taking away the credit GM has earned by developing well made vehicles.

I agree, edmunds will give a car good reviews if it's a good car. If they were import humpers they wouldn't give such high marks to the Charger, 300, Magnum, Aura, Fusion, Outlook, etc. Those all got good reviews because they are good cars. Just like they give bad reviews to bad cars (go check out the Echo road test). Sure, they can be a little stupid at times, and some of their comments are unnecessary and idiotic, but for the most part they're good. I also like TCC.

Uh... nice names. Atleast SOAD gives their crazier songs interesting names... like "Cigaro".

Dude, have you ever blasted Cigaro out of your window while driving by people? I've done it a few times...their reactions are priceless! I have Hypnotize, Mesmerize, and Toxicity on my comp. Man that sucks hard for downloading. It usually takes a couple minutes for me.

Sorry dude, and congrats at the same time. Hopefully she found a good home.

So is it still called Grand Caravan? On the one hand it's a little sad, since the original Caravan was SWB. Still, it's a smart idea to offer a unique model for buyers interested in a smaller people mover.

Actually it was about 6 million Jews and 5 million more gypsies, homosexuals, cripples and others.

Across Europe it was about 50 million total dead. The low estimates place stalins purges at somewhere from 20/30 million up to 70 million. No one really knows.

Yeah, it varies from source to source.

...estimates generally place the total number of Holocaust victims at 9 to 11 million, though some estimates have been as high as 26 million

Like you said, know one knows for sure.

Definitely see a doctor.
