  1. So wut you're saying is... modern cars are porky, and to achieve the same mileage as an older, lighter car, we must apply expensive, complicated hybrid technology... seems a bit lamebrained.
  2. Camaro, Mustang and Challenger are all, of course, fantastic vehicles. What I am lamenting is the lack of smaller, cheaper, sporty, fun to drive coupes from the domestics. Cobalt and Focus coupes are gone, for now, with only the faintest whispers (let alone promises) of a return. Neon coupe has been gone for several years. I've always seen PLENTY of all three in my area. So when those people are ready to buy again, or when new intenders are ready to pull the trigger, where can they go? Scion, Honda and Kia... so we've managed to give away yet another market segment to foreign competition. UNACCEPTABLE. And another thing... if the Big 3 do come back with compact coupes, they'd better not be "special, halo" models that are priced out of reach of the market. A base model with a good chassis and good looks will get ppl in the door.
  3. I voted for the COE. With that high forehead, wide-set eyes, bad complexion, missing teeth and all those scars, he appears to have been to hell and back, looking for new recruits.
  4. I understand honey has no freshness date. I read where pots of edible honey were found in Egyptian tombs. Therefore, you have my permission to buy it.
  5. Are you really good at complete electrical system overhauls?
  6. Tell your Ford dealer to have the Turks paint it GM Turquoise (tell them it's a fleet of one), a set of Cragar S/S wheels and a RonJon Surf Shop sticker, maybe that will ease the pain of driving a Transit Connect... and you'll have the coolest little Ford van... EVAR!
  7. There are still holes to be found in Hyundai's overall presentation. They're incomplete. They've still got a ways to go.
  8. Man that thing is cool like nobody's business!
  9. whoa that last one's a real Humdinger
  10. Ha, more heat is available from two big dogs, methinks. Just gotta be the Gorton's Fisherman and wear a big yellow raincoat to guard against the heavy mist.
  11. Something like that would make an outstanding parade vehicle with your logo on the doors and tailgate... meaning you could take it on initial consultations to help cinch the job, maybe carry a measuring tape and a couple of samples, but it would be too nice to hog up as a "real" work vehicle. I'd keep the Duramax for that.
  12. I do like the 2-door Fiesta, balthy, but I ain't moving to Europe to get it. Ford's Fiesta marketing chick says "nobody" wants coupes in the US. She's a birdbrain.
  13. Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge should all be ashamed of themselves. Suddenly, it's 2011 in the car world, and there is NO small, affordable coupe in any of the domestic lineups. So, I went looking and found this car. When I first saw the new tC, I was underwhelmed, it looked like the old car with Halloween costume muscles, but looking closer, I can see a nice stance, with a wide track, sporty ride height, and a masculine body with just the right amount of sinew. If it drives as nice as it looks, it should be a winner, AND it's the only game in town right now, except for the Civic and unfun-to-drive Forte, and I like this better than either of those. A lot of single people still appreciate the personal, sporty coupe. And this Cement tC with lower bodyside graphic and foglights at the link (try clicking "recent builds"), in concert with the handsome standard wheels, evokes that independent spirit, while keeping a family resemblance to sporting Toyota coupes of the past... it has that Japanese look, without being too weird. I really like this now.
  14. I miss my little Jack Russell terrier, Meggie. This is a huge ad... love it.
  15. hawt
  16. My first was a new '83 S-10 Tahoe 4X4 shortbed regular cab pickup, 2.8L 4 speed manual in black with gray vinyl interior. I loved that little truck.
  17. A beautiful reminder of what Chevrolet means to America.
  18. PCS is a bit "behind the times" on this one.
  19. The CC is a fantastic car.
  20. I was one who thought the Avenger exterior didn't need much. Now that I've seen the new version, I must say I'm a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps it is the stark, black & white photos... not exactly a jazzy way to intro a car.
  21. Ben Caught Stealin'
  22. man

  25. White Fiesta SES hatch... Enterprise rental car. Makes me wonder if Ford is really doing as well with this car as we're told.
