Intrepidation

You know, I don't care for the Avalon, and personally I can't figure out why creative loves the car. but it's his money, if he wants it then let him have it. This may be a primarily GM site, but it's for car enthusiasts of any kind, and as enthusiats, we should be open to all makes and models. Now i creatve were just loving the car just because it's a Toyota, then I'd have a problem with that, but I think he just happens to like the car. So yeah, sorry creative for questioning your love of the car, I was more curious than anything else.

Granted, I'm sure your car has a much higher handling and speed threshhold tan mine (unless it were the 2.2 Turbo), but i don't drive it like an old lady. I always go past the speed limit (10-25 mph over...just don't tell the cops). This car has handled steep hills and ough weather all it's 17 year life, and has never needed anything more than fluid for the tranny. We also have a `70 `Cuda, but it's not really road worthy righ now. and the `69 would be murder on t he wallet with gas prices where they are.

I'm glad you liked the car But since it's Buick...shouldn't it have real wood? I wis it at least had a Nav system. So do you plan to thinking about getting one? Or are you gonna wait a while for the LaCrosse Super?

Um...your G6 only made it to 53k miles before youneeded a new tranny? ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA My Shadow is at almost 208,000 miles and it's go the original tranny! You brag so much abou how you think the G6 is better than every car and it already had a tranny replaced? My friend has a Corolla with 150,000 miles and the tanny is fine. Oh man, that's rich. Don't ever go telling me how great that car is again, for I will probably pass out from laughing. :rotflmao: Our old `69 Baracuda has the original tranny too.

That's too bad. You should embrace one of God's greatest gifts "(to quote a comedian whose name I forgot)

It still looks repairable. My dad's Shadow got hit by a snow plow and he fixed it. Is the damage that bad?

Then I would suggest a cheap car to get you to work so you can save to get the Bimmer. I saw a Shadow for $775 bucks, but I know you can get them cheaper. You could get a Cavalier too if you'd prefer. From personal experience I can tell you both cars are good, cheap, reliable cars. The Shadow is probably a lot cheaper, so it'd be easier to get sooner.

Maybe now people will realize that Toyota's not the bullet proof company they (and Toyota itself) thinks it is. All cars have problems, and the Camry seems to have a pretty ajor one. Has Toyota recalled it yet?

Always helps XD

Chrysler recalls stuff, I'll admit. but you're an idiot if you haven't seen all the recent recalls GM (and Ford) have had lately (and in the not so recent past). There's not a single car in the Current GM lineup (besides the Corvette, GTO (depending on your viewpoint) and maybe the Caddy brand excluding ths DTS) that is superior to the Chrysler Group vehicles. Don't get me started on explaining to you how and why. Until the new Saturns come out, that won't be changing. G6? maybe better than the older Stratus, but nothing cmpared to the Charger, which will eat it for breakfast. On top of this, Chrysler is recalling for a small problem.

What kinda car do you have again? Anyway I'm not sure if you have to be at least 18 to apply for a loan, I thought it was 21 myself. Butthen The only loans I've delt with are college loan My best advice would be to try looking up loan info (behold the power of google). I actually want a new car too, so my poor car can take it easy (plus I want more room and power) My goals are less loft thouh, lol. I was thinking a 1999-2004 Intrepid...or maybe a first gen Stratus. But I need money for that first lol. For now I'm happy with my Shadow though, but my family could use a second car (van's not on the road, no one wants to spend the gas money on the Barracuda).

I've yet to see an Impala Taxi. I've seen a couple Polic Cruisers, but that's it (also those were the ones before 06). Personally, I would get a 300C. It has a 340 hp V8 that trumps both the Impala and Avalon. It's RWD (or AWD if you prefer the extra winter traction). You can get HID headlights with it, Navi, 500 Watt Boston Acoustics sound system/in dash 6 disc CD changer, Leather, and more. And fully loaded the car tops out at $35,050 (according to Edmunds). That's 2k more than the Avalon..but look what you get for the money. Plus the LX cars haven't had any problems yet. And It looks awesome. Of course, in the interest of not being "childish" that's just my opinion. Just throwing that car into the mix.

Lowell Used Auto is also great because they don't check your toolboxes or pockets for any...ahem...extra items. Like for example, 2 seatbelt clips, or like 20 screws, or a relay switch. L.U.A is also great because they are one of the few places I know of that has Shadows. I called like 10 places and none of them had any (one said they crush them as soon as they get them). Their prices are usually good too. A riend of mine got a console lid for his Cavalier for like 10 bucks (or less, i forget exactly). I got a new headliner for my Shadow for 20 bucks, and my dad go a sunroof for 30.

Last night I had so much gas, I actually made my girlfriend say "Damn!" with one of them. Then she felt sad cuz min were so much bigger than hers

Hic-Hachoo-Fart is evil. I've sneezed and farted at the same time, and the force of the fart sometimes hurts my ass >.<

ouch, that's cheap

big glossary lol

omg funny! :rotflmao: Have you noticed that even underwater farts can smell?

SSometimes when you fart on a metal chair it "pings" whereas onj leather it amplifies the sounds and gives it a bit of a crackle. On fabric surfaces it muffles teh sound and obsorbs it, but locks the smell in for hours Have you ever headshot someone with a fart? Or point-blank? Or a combo? haha

So there will be a next gen Vibe? That's cool, cuz I've always liked it

haha

You're joking right? This is lightyears better than the Malibu, and at least on par with the G6

Lol that shart is indeed evil. I've taught my girlfriend to enjoy farts..lt took over a year to do Farts with guys are always funny, I know someone who can make a "laughing fart" It sounds liek either a laugh or a machine gun going off!

No I haven't seen it yet. Today I was at the junkyard again, for a new backseat ashtray that i broke accidentlally. I found a new addition to the yard. A first gen Intrepid, which was almost commpletely intact save for a corner headlight and the radio. There's a couple other intrepids, but they're in pretty rough shape. WHen I went to open the door I heard a chirp sound, which lead me to suspect the battery was still connected. SUre enough The lights were on in the car. I found the keys hanging on the truck and stuck them in the ignition. Lights came on but teh egine didn't turn over. When I popped the hood I noticed a huge deposite of corrosion one one of the terminals. I would have cleaned it off but I didn't have anything to try. It's just sad to see car like that tossed away. Did I mention a few weeks prior whenm I was there I saw a late 80's Chrysler that still started and went in drive? It looked like it needed rear springs but that's it. As for that white Shadow...well they dented the driver's door moving it, and they broke the mirror off it. Oh well...So very sad.

Since there's a lotta guys on this forum, and since it's not a particularly vulgar subject (so it has a better chance of not getting locked)...what's your take on farts? Do you love them or do you hate them? What's the best kind of fart? What's the worst kind of fart? Any fart stories you'd like to share? Enjoy!
