I live in a suburb of the capital, Concord. Very quiet 50 weeks of the year...then NASCAR comes to town. Not that I mind.

How did the Lincoln get 9000 votes? Haha.

Baseball: Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays

Hockey: Boston Bruins

Domestic Soccer: New England Revolution

International Soccer: Arsenal F.C.

Me:

Hey thanks! Looks good!

Just put in a request!

Fiat 124 Abarth?

On another note, there's a red Fiat 124 spider for sale at a used car dealer in Lisbon. Oh, if I had a garage...

I'm almost positive it's an 850, not a 124.

The new 3.6-liter V6, called Pentastar after the company's five-pointed-star logo, replaces seven – count 'em, seven – of Chrysler's aging engines...

Any guesses on what they are?

3.3

3.5

3.8

4.0

...?

Welcome soon to the post college 6 digits club :AH-HA_wink:

As I like to say, Hamilton College is the Little Ivy with the Big Ivy Price. I'm just glad that they pay for 1/2 of it (for the time being anyways...).

After graduation, I'll have just over 6 digits in college debt. This Government/Chinese double major better get me a good job

I stopped after reading the sub title. Not worth the time.

So... Apparently the G8 line outsold ALL of Scion this month.

While I hate to play devil's advocate...There were 2,705 G8's sold in February, and 3,699 Scion's sold(1). So while the G8 might outsell each individual Scion model, it hasn't quite eclipsed the brand. [/devil's advocate]

That being said, The G8 is doing pretty well in the current market, and without a doubt is one of my favorite GM models. I hope Pontiac can stick around, and maybe inject a little EXCITEMENT!!!!!! (I can't help myself today it seems) into the rest of the brand.

Not enough EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!! over at GM, it seems...

New Hampshire is a pretty chill place, however, only once you go north past Manchester. I really like the Concord area's (slight bias haha) and the Lakes Region.

Sometimes the world works in mysterious ways. Things happen, and for the life of us, we can't figure out why. Why them? Why now? It just seems so unfair. On Saturday, one of the best persons I had the pleasure of knowing had a massive stroke, and a day later, she was gone.

This woman was more than just a good friend, she was one of the best teachers I ever had in high school, really shaped me into the person I am today. She wouldn't let you get away with anything in class without first publicly poking fun at you and then explain what you needed to know. I remember in class one time, a reference to the Diet of Worms was made, and being an idiot, said, "Wow, that'd be gross." She turned to me and said with a straight face: "Sam Dxxxx, have you ever heard the famous Mark Twain quote? The one that goes "Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"? You sir, are a grade A fool. The thing is, I deserved it, and it was hysterical. She is the one who made me want to become a teacher.

It doesn't feel real yet, I talked to her Thursday about visiting her classroom and seeing her. She will be sorely missed. I just don't get life.

I never was a regular poster here, so I feel kind of awkward just kind of releasing this here, but I needed an outlet.

Thanks

To be honest, I like the exterior. However, what scares me the most is an interior that looks similar to the VUE or Equinox.

Also:

A redesign of the Yaris, Camry, Avalon, RAV4 and a new rear-wheel-drive sports coupe will all arrive in 2012. In 2013, we’ll see a redesign of the Corolla and Matrix.

When the all-new Highlander launched last year, it came equipped with your choice of a 3.5L V6 or a 3.3L hybrid powerplant. Toyota is expanding the Highlander's powertrain lineup for 2009 by adding a more fuel efficient 2.7L four-cylinder engine. The new engine produces 187 horsepower at 5,800 RPM and 186 lb-ft at 4,100 RPM, making it the most powerful four cylinder engine in Toyota's lineup. Assisting the new 2.7L engine is a six-speed automatic transmission that Toyota says together will provide smooth acceleration and V6-like performance. EPA figures will be announced closer to the engine/transmission's January 2009 launch date, and they should be a few mpg better than the 3.5L engine's 18/24 figures.

The addition of a four-pot to the Highlander lineup will give customers a less expensive and more fuel efficient option in this model lineup, which should prove mighty popular. What remains to be seen is whether a 187-hp engine can properly motivate a 4,000-lb vehicle. We're guessing that since many Highlander buyers aren't likely all that interested in driving dynamics, the most important stat for Toyota's CUV will be its EPA number. Hit the jump to for Toyota's press release if you're looking for nitty gritty details.

So at the risk of looking dense, is this based on Theta Premium?

If so, does this mean almost every GM brand is going to have at least 1 Theta vehicle?

1. Chevrolet Equinox

2. Pontiac Torrent (going away in favor of GMC variant?)

3. Saturn VUE

4. GMC Terrain

5. SAAB 9-4X

6. Cadillac SRX

Am I missing any?

Three people I work with have them:

21 year old guy - yellow LT coupe

22 year old guy - silver LS coupe

18 year old girl - blue LS sedan

They love them. They all bought them within 9 months of each other. The 21 year old bought his, raved about it, the 22 year old bought his, raved about it, and the 18 year old girl bought hers. I'd consider a Cobalt after college, although by that time it might be the Cruze. I'd get a red LT coupe right now if I could.

Mine is 1/2 of the company that makes my French Horn. Holton-Farkas.

I actually kind of like it. Granted, it's not flashy, but it's certainly no Camry.

Serious question alert:

Will any car get a perfect score? Almost all vehicles in America run on a fossil fuel, so they all contribute to increased pollution (notice I didn't say the "dirty phrase"). Even the Prius uses it's gasoline engine, so it can't get a 10.

My friend Julia showed them to me a few weeks ago, and I like them.

Handlebars and Stand Up are my favorites.

Please, this type of rant makes you look like an incoherent fool, makes C&G look like a 2nd rate forum, and drives the people who want to talk about ALL cars away.

You love Pontiac. Fine. I love Mercury. Whatever. But why do you hate Toyota so much? Maybe you could post reasons like, "Toyota takes jobs away from Americans, which is wrong" instead of "OMG STOOPID LIBERALS DRIVE PRII, AND I HATE ALL LIBERALS, THEREFORE, TOYOTA ='S THE SUKKK!"

Astonishing: You can be rational and coherent and still get your point across.

And everyone wonders why C&G has been on the decline.

I can't believe he has a Prius and a Fusion time to get rid of the Prius and get a Malibu Hybrid or something... Toyota drivers can be very bad... Especially Prius drivers saving gas and driving like they could care-less if they make a light.

I hate to come off as a jerk, but who cares what someone else drives? Honestly, if they liked the Prius so much, who cares if THEY invested the time researching it and spent THEIR money on it. It seems like when people buy a non-domestic product everyone goes into defense/attack mode: "OMG I can't believe you beat up my 86-year old grandmother, stole her life savings and bought a(n) [insert car you hate here]!!!!!11!!! I hope your car catches fire!" Jeez. It's not like I'd want to live with a Prius everyday either, but at least I can keep stupid comments like that to myself.

As for your second point...maybe if the driver in Sixty8's post wasn't "trying to make the light", she wouldn't have hit his friend.

I know not every thread has to be serious, as shown by the LOL CATS thread, but seriously, when you make treads like this EVERY OTHER DAY, it gets rather absurd. Just sticky a thread or something.
