You seem like a LaCrosse guy to me, Paulie. If you want to go wild, the Aura is a bit sportier with a European character.

Oooo... a reader board could be used for all sorts of sinister purposes... I like this idear!

She was itching to get back out there on the road again. Excellent!

Oh man, that's funny. Detroit90 didn't get the joke.

Don't start with me. I'm yelling at you for your own good. You just got the car. You can't possibly know everything about it yet, if it's got perfect mechanicals, how it behaves under extreme stress in any situation. Every young guy wants to try his vehicle's limits, I realize that, I just want you to have some sense about when and where. Don't make your parents cry.

(In response to article) Blah, whatever...

Too bad you didn't have french together... :AH-HA_wink:

It's not totalled. It's repairable. (We are mystified why the family wants it back, a constant reminder.) It needs a door, maybe an outer rocker panel, a floor pull and repair, and repair on the quarter, besides the interior. It may need a wheel, the left rear wheel is scuffed and has splinters of wood stuck on it. Someone else will actually write the estimate, so I didn't look at it item for item. We were all amazed and horrified that the kid died, but he must have hit just right when he sideswiped the tree. Of course I have no way of knowing, but he might have been saved had he been wearing his seatbelt, it may have held him in far enough not to hit his head. z is right, Viper. Flat road, no side access for anyone to pull out in front of you, no curves, plenty of visibility. The only place you should even consider pushing the limits of your car.

Once again, Nick is blinded by the poo.

Do you have something on your mind, roopull, which sounds an awful lot like RuPaul? :AH-HA_wink:

I'd go with the Grand Am on your list, even though I prefer cleaner Pontiacs ('97-'03 GP coupes come to mind, hmmm...).

I'll try to come up. I'm a "last minute" kinda guy though, maybe we can keep this thread bumped until closer to the event. I see the H3t on the web page... I wonder if Camaro will make an appearance?

Is that all I'd see? :AH-HA_wink:

We have a Cobalt SS (non SC) in the shop right now. The driver's door is caved in somewhat and the left quarter panel has a dent. Our cleanup guy spent the day taking the entire interior out except for the dash. Why, you ask? Because it was drenched in blood and vomit. The young male driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt when he slid sideways into a tree. He hit his head on the tree and got thrown into the back seat. When the paramedics arrived, they found him there, sitting up, facing the driver's side, dead. Heartbreaking and disgusting, for sure.

Don't pigeonhole it, Chris. You'll send some of the squeamish to Toyota! :AH-HA_wink:

Well the bumpers are definitely different in the photo, and in the ordering guides that were linked a while back. I hope the grille and light assemblies are updated. I see the "yesterday" chromed housing taillights remain though.

It is my opinion that two things are limiting Chrysler LX sales: controversial styling and Chrysler's lingering (but fading) quality rep. Even with those "handicaps", they've done very well. GM has neither of those problems to worry about. I know this argument gets trotted out every time someone laments a return to RWD for GM's bigger affordable cars, but the market is proving it. GM will offer AWD for those who are scared.

Yes you do. She's smiling brightly from your signature.

Anyway, when I squint, I can tell that's a gorgeous truck.

I just filled up tonight before heading home. This tank? 17.2 mpg. Of course that was about 95% city driving with a high speed blast on the highway. My best tank ever was 23.4 mpg, on the turnpike north to the campground last year.

And to think some people here were defending the looters for stealing non-essentials. I wonder what they think of this debacle?
