  1. *Redwood, Charguh. I'll read everything you guys have posted when my headache goes away. Thanks for the help!
  2. I'd love to have a '98+ TA too. Hey, check this one out: http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=500496
  3. LS6? Screw that. Slap in an LS3 and supercharge that baby. This thing looks completely badass. Much better than I expected..
  4. Later next year than it was this year... (this year the public show stretched from the 13th through the 21st)
  5. Shhhh! "Racing stripes" sounds better than "skid marks." Don't tell Camino!
  6. I'm sure I've got some vintage "racing stripe" underwear from the fourth grade that you could make a bid on, Camino.
  7. Let's go sight-seeing. :AH-HA_wink: What are some great things to see both in the city and in nature? Where are some of THE most popular places to go in Cali for vacationers?
  8. 1 2 3 (weird that's the order I liked them the best lol)
  9. ...here I come? I've always wanted to visit Cali, for at least a few years now. I'm sitting there at work today though, and it hit me that I'd love to hit many of the places California has to offer: Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Redwood Forest, drive the PCH, etc. My mom keeps wanting to go to the Carolinas and/or Florida, but we've been to both. Why not Cali? Because I think my parents are afraid of flying although they won't admit to it. But, now I've got questions to ask of you guys.. I'm hoping to convince my parents to go sometime next year, in 2008. However, before I present the proposition to them, I want some core facts on dates, costs, and a good overall vacation plan. So, I'll start with the easiest question: where are the best spots to visit in Cali to see get the most out of our vacation? I mean, I already narrowed down the above few places (I really, really want to go on the PCH). Second, what's the best time of year to go? When is the climate the best? I was thinking sometime maybe around the end of March, beginning of April. Knowing when will not only help planning with school and that, but will also help with finding travel costs (both airplane and a rental car). Third, just add anything you'd like to about it. Reccommendations? Ideas? Experiences? Please add! Thanks, everybody! I really appreciate it.
  10. I noticed that, too. :AH-HA_wink:
  11. It is silver, but at a quick glance (like they gave it in the commercial), it looked white (kind of like "K-Fed").
  12. I think it looked white in the commercial if I remember correctly.. And, if so, Fly pegged it.
  13. Oh, not me...
  14. Yes, but worse.
  15. The robot one was awesome.. I loved it.
  16. Very sad, isn't it? DCX (minus Mercedes) was my favorite make of car. Well, they've made me re-think that the last year or two. The only vehicles I think they have that are worth buying are the 300C/Charger/Magnum and Grand Cherokee. If you'd like, go ahead and count the Wrangler models. I'd also add the Pacifica, but it's being killed. Note that I didn't list the Viper. The Viper is a great vehicle, but for what it is, it should be a hell of a lot more. It's got a terrible interior and, from what I've heard, more problems than any $80,000 vehicle should have. It's quick, fast, and good handling, but bested by a vehicle that costs $10,000 less than it.Chrysler's design has gone far downhill both inside and outside the vehicles. Next would be their quality. I haven't seen a high-quality vehicle from Chrysler in awhile aside from the vehicles I've listed. All of the Dodge vehicles look the cheap and too similar to each other. A couple Jeeps (and the Caliber) share the same cheap interior while all the Jeeps have managed to become dumbed down "ideas" of small SUVs (note: not "ideals"). Most of the attractive Chrysler vehicles are getting cut while the ones that remain are nothing near where a Chrysler vehicle should be. Next would be their engines. I don't feel that the Chrysler engines are nearly at par with any of the competition. My mom's got a 2005 Durango with the 4.7L Magnum. That engine is nowhere near as powerful or efficient as it should be. Then, take all of the Hemis. Now, I know the 6.1 is getting more HP soon, but the 5.7 and 6.1 are nowhere near the efficiency that they should be; they're all power, no finesse. Honestly, Chrysler has the potential to be a great company, but over the last little while, I've lost much respect for them. My mom, who has raised on the income of two Chrysler-working parents (who both put in over 25 years with the company before retiring under the Chrysler name), is now starting to move past Chrysler after having not one, not two, but three faulty Dodge vehicles out of her last four (two Durangos and a Caravan). My best friend who has grown up on his retired-from-Chrysler grandfather's wage and has always named Dodge as his favorite brand has lately been telling me how Dodge is moving lower and lower on his rankings of favorite automakers. I don't know about you or anybody else, but I know how I feel. Chrysler has come a long way from great in the last few years. They should focus on the vehicles they already make moreso than creating all of these sub-par vehicles that they keep coming out with. Chrysler's going downhill and, not only can they not seem to find a way out of it, but it looks like they don't even realize how terrible their products are. I kind of want to feel sorry for them..
  17. There were other mods that aren't mods now, too. I know there was chris.. and who else?
  18. I can't say that site "sucks," but judging by their amount of posts and threads, I can't say it's a great site yet...
  19. First, FOG, I'd like to bid a friend a good future. You've always been an asset to the site and you've been here longer than I have. I have nothing against you, though I don't see eye-to-eye with you on some of the points you've made here in this thread. I'm not sure what you've seen change in C&G. I'm not sure how many of you have noticed, but my posts are definitely not as frequent anymore. However, everytime I come back online, usually just to check the news, I never feel like I've missed a beat. C&G is doing a fine job, IMHO, of diversifying itself among its members and making the entire experience worthwhile. One thing that I find about C&G that's a huge plus to the site compared to others is that it's got a great core family. But, what would that family be without an instigator or two? That's another thing that keeps the site in touch. We've got members here that constantly tell of how little GM shines in comparison to other manufacturers. I'm not sure about any of you, but I feel that's what keeps everything more humble here. Our members are usually able to agree with some points that the "anti-GM members" make, and argue/discuss about the points that aren't agreed upon. It's usually all in good taste and nobody's out to get the other. As a community, that's exactly how we should function. Without people who aren't as fond of GM as many of us here, there's a good possibility that this would become some kind of communistic "if you don't like GM, you may not be a member of our site" type of place. Competition is what makes every and any market grow, especially the auto industry. So, why not welcome competitive views onto our site? That's how I feel at least. Anyway, good luck in the future, and be sure to keep in touch.
  20. WTF? That's the worst looking truck I've ever seen. And that goes above and beyond the Ranger and Tundra.
  21. I pull mine up as far as I possibly can... But, I have heard of people having problems with theirs, so I don't know what they're doing differently.
  22. shoe
