68 your right...The good ole days of Nascar are gone forever. Chris

Nothing wrong with making money hand over fist.... Too bad the railroads don't make money hand over fist, they are one of the best ways to ship things without using a lot of fuel. Chris

I am one of those guys that gets discouraged easily, please pardon the tone of my post, DF. I just remember the good ole days of the 90's when Neons were kicking Honda ASS at every SCCA road race and auto X, the Intrepid/Concorde were still in production, etc. The new vans are nice, maybe I just need to get used to them. Right now the Safari is serving as a work van and I am enjoying it's ability to be used as a work truck. But my inlaws Chryco vans have been very good indeed. Chris

Interestingly enough...I saw 3 desireable cars flattened and on a truck headed for the shreder. mid sixties (65 I think) Buick ragtop 67-68 Mustang Fastback 66-67 2 door hardtop olds with 442 badges on it. All looked to have been restorable before they were crushed. Sixty-Eight...sad to say, the 70's and 80's cars are disappearing by the boatlaod around here. I've seen whole Semi-Loads of Chrome Bumper RWD cars going down Ohio 104. I pass by Columbus Steel Products/Buckeye Steel on the way home from work...and there are a bazillion 70's-80's restorable cars getting flattened. This whole topic makes me really, really sad... Chris

Audi's do shift really sweetly... Chris

I'm a closet Audi fan also, I'm just dieing to buy a clean first gen TT (My son Joel turned me on to these and I also can't sleep jights thinking about them). Good luck and post pics... Chris

For $5,700 they will let you smell the glovebox, methinks... Chris

Seems as if the Columbus Blue Jackets actually beat the wings earlier in the year. Would be nice someday if we won the cup... But better Americans than Canadians winning it (with my apologies to VonVeezilsnider and Carbiz.) Chris

...an old post...but WOW! Chris

\ GM management ain't dumb.... Chris

Because even though you and I disagree on some issues we both love GM and want to see it survive, despite itself. Chris

Yes, your new TC Scion is waiting for you at the local dealership. Hillary for President sticker, PETA sticker, and Sierra club membership added at no extra cost. Happy yet? Chris

Agreed on color, and that Sebring looks horrible in that blue... Chris

Exactly. We may be 5% of the car market, but I don't ever want to buy another automatic. Chris

As men we forget that men are emotional sometimes too. I'd rather have someone rant, admit it is a rant, and get it over with. Chris

But they are losing the leads they have built on all of these. LX is dead, replaced by less fuel efficient RWD cars. Honda now sells the best selling Minivan. First gen Neon was a decent car, but Chrysler is getting it's ass KICKED by Honda, Toyota, Mazda, VW, GM, Ford, and a few others in the small car department. Chrysler IMHO seems to get off to a good start but then never take advantadge of their lead and keep up with a good thing. Chris

....at the rate we are going, Sushi, Bratwurst, and Kimshi will be all that auto execs are eating.... Seriously, I think GM will make it.

I think a few of us need to rant today.... Chris

Mazda 3 is so much better than the Corolla it's like they are not even built on the same planet. Chris

The Jetta has a great interior, it is very comfortable and a really nice product. Chris

I'd rather see ChryCo go than Honda or Mazda... Chris

The Civic is infinitely nicer than the Lancer... Chris

You guys can laugh your asses off, but I live in Ohio and make my living as an electrician. We keep disconnecting the power to nice, useable industrail buildings so they can be torn down...and building fast food resteraunts. It's funny because we are finishing up a Burger King and a Taco bell and there must be 20-30 people a day who stop in wanting jobs. Things are going to go to absolute utter-utter-uttter $h! here in short order if something doesn't change. But then again, Civics are built...here in Ohio. Except for the SI, which is built in Canada. (enter sarcasm mode) ....and one wouldn't want to trust Canadians with building a burger, much less a car... (Exit sarcasm mode) Chris

The Lancer is a godawful piece of crap from a company that should be out of buisiness.... Chris
