A Horse With No Name

Actually, I find owning a vehicle and running it into the ground to be very satisfying. Most of my cars haven't left under their own power...either they have left as collector cars on trailers or as dailyh drivers worn out on the back of tow trucks. My last two cars I got rid of as daily's were shot to crap when I got rid of them. Take care of a car and it will last a long damned time. Something satisfying seeing it turn 100K and then 200k. But I think Trincabob's car will outlive us all. Chris

....ah...the GM headliner that was an epic fail in every car they wold for twenty years solid.

He didn't say no skill in marketing them... Chris

Actually the H3 is a decently sized vehicle, and doesn't get that bad of a fuel economy. Had they put a small diesel in a H3...hmmm...perfect tow vehicle for a Formula Ford and an open trailer. Chris

The Challenger is more the size of say a 1960's Fury than a Pony car. It looks killer in the B5 blue. The Hemi makes the car, IMHO. With 5 kids....hmmm...I could put two in the backseat and they would be far enough apart to keep from fighting with each other. Chris

NICE color combo...btw... I also don't like the dark green on the Solara. Chris

Not an SUV guy, but I kinda get the GC thing. Kinda funny, I am a big guy, and someone seeing me get out of the Miata the other day said "shouldn't you be a Grand cherokee kind of guy?" Chris

Was it a solara ragtop or no...and why did you get rid of it? Chris

..a decent national rail system for sure. And until we get our energy problems solved, the less we go into debt financing cars the better. If gas goes to $6 a gallon, people will need the cash flow for fuel. I could actually handle living in Cuba, with lots of old 50's American iron around. Now THAT would be cool. Chris

Leave the 307 in the wagon. So, Satty...what else have you done with the wagon? After seeing Camino's silver beast in person I'd like one... Really what I want is a 70-72 Cutlass Vista Cruiser. Chris

I am in lust over the Bucik and the Mini, the Prius I can tolerate better than most here...but the Solara you owned....ughhhh. Did you like it when you had it? Chris

Fiancee or Mini for the hard love? Chris

Satty, I hate to say it, but the Challenger is growing on me. Mustang looks good in the grabber blue color they have for it. Son and I looked at a Grabber Blue convertible at the local Ford dealer. Nice! Chris

New Pilot is indeed a dud. Chris

The midwest, where we both live, does seem to be a haven for domestics. Chris

Still people will be trading cars much less often, I think. It's going to take awhile for the economy to pull out of this $h!hole. Chris

Amen. Watch out in about 5 years. Chris

...send it to Ohio and it'll get some luv. Chris

The styles of cars don't change either, so they don't go out of date as fast. Now if it was the 1950's....people would want to upgrade. But there is no glory in upgrading from a 2001 Focus to a 2009 Focus. Chris

G8 up 68% and its going away.... Chris

Oh well. You have the Prius and she has the MINI. We know who wears the pants in YOUR family now, don't we. Chris

Reasonable, simple regulation is a great thing. Put everyone on the same playing field and let them duke it out, free market style. But do it with reasonable regulations...don't have one set for the regular banking system and one set for the investment or "shadow" banks. Government caused this by not being proactive. Chris

Neither can I. The Malibu and Fusion are much better cars. Chris
