WAY too awesome for Ebay... sheesh.

I'm hoping this new "head guy" can turn VW around to what they were when they were successful... the only affordable German brand. The Polo should be brought over here... maybe toss the "Rabbit" tag on it, I don't know... they need something that stresses economy. Their attempts at "style" have largely failed. They need to return to functional, yet likable styling. Passat should be the most expensive VW... that means kill this new "coupe" and the Toureg. My dream VW lineup, hopefully realistic: Rabbit 2 and 4 door hatch, gas and diesel, with a GTI model Beetle sedan and ragtop, return to 4 cylinder gas and diesel power, with 2.0t optional. Ragster's chopped top should be a model variant, hard and soft. Golf 2 and 4 door. Base model available. Gas and diesel 4 cylinder power. Hand crank sunroof available. Slightly upscale GLS and GTI available. Jetta sedan and wagon. Base model available (decontented from cheapest model now available.) Most expensive GLI should top out at, say, $23k. Gas and diesel. Scirocco. Golf based. 2.0t power. Should base at $18k and run up to $24k loaded. Hand crank sunroof and cloth seats standard. Driving fun and style on a budget stressed over gadgets. Passat sedan and wagon. Gas and diesel 4 cylinder. 2.0t and V6 options. Top out at $28k. Kombi. Golf-based mini-mini van, just roomier than Mazda5, but with VW's old school cool. Gas and diesel 4 cylinders, with 2.0t as top engine. Tops out at $25k. Passenger, Camper and Delivery models. Front or AWD. Any VW SUV should be based on the Golf, and have a soft top version available. It should value function over style, like the Thing. AWD available. 2.0t as top engine. Hoseable interior. There ya go.

WMJ, you realize that's a lesbian car, not a gay car? Check out the gender symbols. Jeez people, if you're gonna make fun of us, at least get your genders straight! :rolleyes: :AH-HA_wink:

oooo, you're into Camaros? COOL! (((68))) That's hot... except for the traction bars. They're low hangers.

The wing is a total disaster... and so's the hood, imo. The only thing I like about it is the lack of side moldings. You should be proud, mute. You've saved a lot of kittens today.

I went in to work today because we got some tow-ins yesterday after a snowstorm. I wrote an estimate on an '05 Grand Prix GXP with the whole right side damaged, including the gorgeous 18 inch, polished rims. As soon as I turned the key on the awesome sounding 5.3, all bets were off... I love it, and really really want to test drive a new Monte SS now.

Best of luck with the new car, A. I like it!

(((Cort))) Please accept my condolences on the loss of your grandfather. You are one of our most steady, optimistic members, through it all. My hat is off to you, sir. ^_^

Extra sharp cheddar is good.

That actually looks pretty cool to my eyeballs. :)

Thank you to all the Allied vets who saved the world from darkness and tyranny.

? Did I forget to mention... wheel hop from hell? It felt like the bed was going to shear off and land in the other lane. :lol:

I still love that Dodge Charger tagline: "The new Dodge Charger Hybrid. Burns gas and rubber!"

The Liberty is the coolest small SUV out there, imo, because it is authentic. I really like the interior, and that 6 speed sounds great. I prefer the flat-top hood of the Renegade though, over the tunneled hood of the Sport. Otherwise, great choice! Best of luck with it.

Wow, it looks great in white, Congratulations on one hot truck.

That's a nicely arranged photo, Petra.

Ehh, I don't care for closemindedness. Stubborn people also get on my nerves. Also prejudiced folks. They really miss out on life, imo. EDIT: I forgot to voice my distaste for hairy backs.

Seamless elegance with powerful muscles under its tuxedo. Love it now as when I first saw it. A Cadillac in every sense of the word.

I wasn't satisfied with 17.11 @ 81.2. If I weren't sleeping at the line, I know I could have cracked the 16s in the ol' Colorado.

Happy Birthday, Blackviper! I just hope you had a good day today. :)

I am thankful that the swamp gas apparition doesn't have side mirror tunnels off the fenders like the '93-'02.

We have an '06 Hummer H3 at our shop... someone sideswiped it. A sad sight. I wrote an estimate of $4000, but I'm afraid it may need a rear axle assembly, another $3000.

I, for one, am so glad all car interiors don't look like the '06 Topaz, I mean Milan. Variety is the spice of life. (I made that up. Good one, huh?)

I'll show you mine if you show me yours. EDIT: pictures, fool! Nothing else. :P

Thanks again for all the kind words, folks. Y'all are such a great group. It's much too quiet here tonight, I can't help but look and listen for her. She's gone from my home, but will remain in my heart.
