Lost 3 in the last 16 months (2 to cancer), gained 2 in the last 9 months (2 Yorkie boys).

We had to put another dog to sleep today, Tinkerbell aka Tinky, a 15.5 yr old puppy mill rescue Silky Terrier... she was a sweet, timid little dog that struggled w/ cancer and and enlarged heart the last few years...she'd been losing weight and had no appetite lately.

Key West, Florida has also had a dealer like that for decades...pretty neat, I remember going to it as a kid in the early '80s and seeing models from all 6 brands on one lot. -
I have about 9000 tracks on my iPod, but audio from the iPod sounds weak in the car compared to a CD.

They will probably have a single disc slot in the trunk.

I agree with most of what you say except the traditional full size sedan comment. Maybe you are too young to really know what a full size sedan is, but I can tell you that the Avalon and Azera are mid size cars not full size. In fact the auto industry is trying to reboot what a full size sedan is by saying these cars are full size, but anyone who knows history can tell you these are nothing but mid size cars. They probably are considered full size by interior volume, the same way the Taurus, Impala, etc are.

Item: Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4
Robert Hall replied to Robert Hall's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
The battery has been fine, replaced it January (18-20 months is the normal lifespan here), but at the beginning of March, it was hard to start, turns out it was the starter...replaced that, then last week it was hard to start again, barely was able to start it and get home one day...it was the terminals and cables leading to the terminals that were leaking voltage and draining the battery..just old, I guess. All in all, it's been a good vehicle...bought it new in August 2000. Had a few major issues (the notorious seat track failure, complete cooling system failure after 1 years in AZ). A/C is still original, but not as cold as when new. Had a few nagging issues w/ transfer case leaks and sensors failing, but other than routine maintenance, it's still going strong w/ 143k...looks great when clean from 20 feet away (lots of stone chips and scratches up close), but rides smoothly with only one noticable squeak from the rear hatch. I need to replace the speakers and the driver's side inside door panel (arm rest is cracked), maybe the headlight switch (lights come on by themselves at odd times if I leave it in the automatic position). -
I wonder what's under the Panamera...seems implausible to stretch a unibody that way..
-
I would assume it's OHC, I can't imagine someone developing a new pushrod (OHV) 4 cyl in 2013..

Saw a bright red new Mazda6 in my office parking lot...very sharp, first one I've seen.

Driving home this afternoon I was passed by a goregous '50s Mercedes 300SL Gullwing coupe..

Chrysler News: A Diesel Chrysler 300? Its Being Considered
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Chrysler
Profit grab. $4500 for the engine option seems excessive. -
Yeah, probably a decal or tampo printed.

Happy Belated Birthday..missed it yesterday..

Must be a Chevy Lumina SSV ute.

This from a guy who's manliness is so fragile, it can be shattered by a tiny Eco badge on the trunk of a Cruze. LoL...but the same guy gets a boner from a Tdi badge.. What do I get for AWD????? Depends if it's RWD or FWD based, I guess...
-
H'mmmmm I was totally stumped by the Twink comment and had to bing it. You really think the jelly bean style of code 130RS is more a man car compared to the sharper edge Tru? Remember the basic law of the automotive world, FWD=weak, RWD=manly.
-
Yep, my Mom's '77 Thunderbird looked like that...green inside.
-
I would think those in the Rust Belt would mostly be rusted out....as far as stepsides, I see a few out here, mostly '70s though, more than '80s...of the '80s I tend to see shortbed fleetsides..
-
You can see the dash through the rear window in one photo, so it's definitely a pre-MCE model.
-
They can't even the get the year right or spell the car name...sad.

Competition for the Spark.

More electrical maladies...had a hard time starting this week (battery is only 2 months old), took it in yesterday...battery terminals/cable was leaking, replaced it, starts fine now. Also the A/C mysteriously starting blowing only out of the defroster vents, some tube was melted...now works fine. -
Happy Birthday!

Not sure why this is news, didn't they already roll out a diesel 3-series in the US w/ the last generation model?
