A Horse With No Name

The counter arguement could be made also. There are a jillion people bearing arms in Packistan and Afghanistan, crime is obscenely common, and more guns won't change things. But I believe in the right to bear arms and like sixty eight said, from my cold dead hands. Chris

Let's see, I'm strait and a huge fan of Both Miata's and Mini's, and I don't know of any gay people that drive either. I like poetry also, though so my opinion may not count. Around here in the Lamda car club it seems to be big old domestics with lots of Chrome from the 50's or 60's. Newer cars seem to be all domestic, usually PT Cruiser or HHR for lesbians and large Buick/Cadillac type vehicles for males. For whatever reason the gay population of Columbus Ohio seems to be really, really domestic loyal. Actually, now that JPgolden got rid of the civic SI and got a truck, I don't know of any gay males that drive imports. Oh, yeah, wait, golden's partner drives a subie. Chris

I had a good friend who was a railroad engeneer who hit a woman in a volkswagen with a frieght train and killed her at a crossing. Not his fault but twenty years later he still had nightmares. I still have a problem with car fires because I saw a Formula Ford burn During an SCCA race, although the driver did make it out... Chris

Personally I hate leases, but I think this is a brilliant idea. With the economy in the crapper, lot of people will be looking for cheap wheels. Someone at Gm needs to look into this. Chris

Personally even if it did work out from a fuel economy standard, it would be a pr disaster. Better to upgrade/update the AVEO and use it there. Chris

Actually, I'd like to see them swaping some damned paint in an SCCA style race.... Chris

Saw another SRT-8 Magnum on the way to work today, this time in metallic red. They are nice cars. Chris

They are winning the Rhetoric race quite well, thank you! Oh, wait, you wanted something that actually involved automobiles. Guess your S.O.L. Chris

Actually I have much more respect for Honda, Mercedes, BMW, et. al when it comes to foreign carmakers in racing. ...as well as Mazda, who manages to put thousands of race cars on track (formula Mazda, Spec Miata, MX-5 Cup, RX-7,and others) each weekend. Go to an SCCA race some time. The no show of Toyota products will delight and amaze you...oh wait, maybe that's NASCAR also... Chris

Actually I think the Charger is a Hot, Hot automobile-there are six vehicles at lest that Chrysler has gotten dead right-Challenger, Charger, 300, Wrangler, Ram, and Viper.

Depenmds on the Japanese car. Like someone said the high end stuff is in the tank but the Mazda 3, the Civic, The Fit, et al seem to be selling briskly. Chris

Actually I don't watch much television, but every time that I go over to see my father we usually sit down to watch Football or Basketball. At least on North Carolina TV, the G6 is advertised about every third TV spot. Chris

Actually, I hate to eat crow to Ravenfreak and Dodgefan but... Next door neighbors brother just bought a brand new white Avenger. Thjey had it out in the driveway this A.M. There does seem to be a real effort to improve assembly line build quality in these cars. I was rather impressed...does anyone have any actual information that is not heresay about any actual in-plant changes that Chryselr seems to be making? There may be hope for Chrysler yet if they keep this up. Chris

Sorry I can't get the link to work but it is under "car talk" at Miatanet. 40 people in a poll say that they would now consider buying cadillac again with the new product lineup, Vs. 19 that say that they will never buy domestic again. Things seem to be working well for GM for a change! Chris

If you can drive at all amazing things can be done with an RWD car and decent tires. Chris

Magnum would have been another nice choice. They had an SRT-8 version at a local car lot and I had to remind myself several times that college is coming up for my son.... Too bad the LH cars like my old Concorde or your Intrepid are becoming a little older/harder to find. That would have been a great choice also. BTW, congrats on the MAXX. Maybe by the time the Neon needs replaced Chrylser will have re-introduced it and you can own both a mopar and a GM. Chris

Agreed, bulletproof. Plus as a guy who likes quirky offbeat cars I can definitely say the MAXX has a lot of very uniqe style. Were it not for the lack of an MT I would own one myself. Chris

Thankfully GM isn't trying to be everything to every one. For one, I am glad that Buick isn't trying to build cars like the early 80's Centuries just to have an "economy" midsized car to sell. GM is learning, there is hope. Plus the 3 models buick does have are all top notch... Chris

Well, it did rise from the dead...and preach the gospel of speed to millions of converts world wide... Chris

Although regulations have given us modern engene management systems that have given us cars like the C-6 Z06. We live in an era when we have the best of both worlds, might as well enjoy it for as long as we can. Sadly, in 15 years CAFE will have killed even 4 cyl. performance cars like the Sky, Solstice, Miata, Civic SI, GTI etc. The Muscle car era cars will all be in museums, and no onw will remember other cool cars like the faux wood paneled station wagons of the 60's-70's. Or the two toned and thee toned chromed wonders of the fifties. Makes me sad... Chris

Actually I like the new Mustang (go figure) but yeah the new Camaro is the "A" ticket. But then that should come as no suprise. The camaro owned the Mustang and the Challenger in 1971, it might as well own both in 2008. Now if it were a 70 Mach 1 or a 70 Boss 302 it might be a different story... Chris

Which is why I really hope that there can be an improvement/change in the product lineup. I get discouraged easily, but am hopeful that there are good things coming from Chrysler. Chris

One of the things that makes me really sad is that there is a wonderful family owned Chrysler store near me that I would love to do buisiness with...if the product lineup were different. Chris

Ditto on the LX cars thing here. Were Chrysler still building cars like the first/second gen Neon, the LX series, etc. I'd be looking at one. Chris
