The AH-HA Challenge
I would take a stab... but seeing as how I have no chance what-so-ever and don't really meet the preferables, I won't. I do know that if I had $30k I wouldn't buy one new vehicle when I could buy a few used ones that would satisfy me much more than any one new car could.

The "why" of car buying
I have standards. They prevent me from owning vehicles that don't excite me in some way.

And you thought the Aztek was ugly
It's quite bad... but I actually like the first gen Tiburons (before they went light crazy with a refresh).

2008 Pontiac Ordering Guide
Yes, I don't know what I would do without body-side moldings. Oh wait... My car doesn't have them. But it's 12 years old, has been though 172k miles, and spent the first half of its life as a city car... It has all sorts of dents, dings, and scrapes. Huh? Oh... No... It doesn't. Whoops. But, I wish mine had them anyways. They really add an upscale look to cars... sort of like ribbed cladding and spoilers. Wait, that's not classy... and 90% of the time, vehicles look much better without it. Huh... For those that don't like body side molding, it's a bitch to get off. If you want body side moldings, put it on yourself. Buy some rubber, buy some adhesive, and have fun. I even made a chop.

Rented A Grand Prix
Mother's don't always know best. I started taking vitamins on my own earlier this year... A bit too late, to say the least. I'm 5'6". Edit: Oh... right... this thread is about the Grand Prix. Oops. It's ugly, for one. Style wise, the only part I really liked about it was the shaping of its ass. The rest was about as appealing as an actual ass. The interior was alright besides it being overstyled and cheap (other than the dash and door panel plastics, as others have noted). I always like the front seats, but I'm small and love firm, bolstered seats. They could be more comfortable, but their alright. The backseat, on the other hand, sucks. Completely uncomfortable and a bit on the small side. The powertrain... I always liked the Gen III SC 3800. I'd rather have it than the 5.3L V8 in the GXP... Anyways, I look forward to the G8 as I've said many, many times.

April Fool's CAR SPOTTING
Used car dealer hopping is still fun. Remember that '72 Impala from a while ago? Some Cadillacs... A sexy, red S2000. Anyone have $20k to donate? If I were to ever need a cheap SUV... I'd buy one of these. The latter is funny little thing. It's so gay. Yay. How about a Brat? Seeing this thing made my day. Oh how I laughed...

Rental King
No one writes about the second most rented brand... and it's mentioned right in the above article anyways. "Among other brands, Pontiac was the top fleet-sales brand in August and September. For a brand-by-brand list of fleet sales, see www.autonews.com/fleet."

Is your computer ready for Vista, here is one way to find out
XP has been flawless, so I see no reason to switch to Vista, especially when the majority of people I've heard from says it sucks. Reason enough for me.

Heh... I should stick the stand up Buick emblem I have onto the Millenia just for the hell of it.

I looked at a Solstice... and a teal Riviera.

Ode To The Sunfire
Even the J-bod afficianado sympathizes with me... Come on Ocn... Get with the program. Anyways, it apparently had no problem starting up this morning, as the Sunfire wasn't here. If it happens again, I'll have pass the info 76CT posted on to my Dad.

A little Spring cleaning...featuring the Shadow!
Oh, that's just silly. The chances of something happening from that are so slim, especially on website like this where this section is member's only, it's moot.

Ode To The Sunfire
Say again? We do have the Sunfire with the 2.4 Twin Cam. What did you think we had? As for BP gas... It's the best gas I've personally used in the Millenia. I have no idea. My dad replaced the catalytic converter the other night, but this morning, my mom had to take my Millenia once again because the Sunfire wouldn't start. It seemed to be running better right after he replaced it, though, and was so much quieter than it used to be. Today, I tried starting it myself while they were at work... but nothing. When my dad came home, it was the same thing. Cranked it so much, that he ran the battery dead. After further tinkering on it and charging the battery he tried to start it again. For the first few minutes, there was nothing, but it slowly started. Once started, it again seemed to be running better. Who knows.

Pictures!
Ugly? You could use a shave... but... I see no ugly.

Ode To The Sunfire
Here's a lesson for you... World wide, Mazda Millenias have more of a following with Mazda enthusiasts than that other Mazda... You know... The best selling roadster in the world? You may have heard of it. Millenias are great cars for any price. This won't be my last one. So please... spare me your BS and go back to your little corner to find someone more worthy of it.

Ode To The Sunfire
You mean.. Hearing about my Millenia more often isn't more annoying?

Ode To The Sunfire
Any other compact is far better than the J-bodies... Although, I did like some of the concepts, like the one posted as well as these, atleast styling wise:
