True, they are pretty well equipped to start with... about the only extras I'd seriously want would be Homelink (my Jeep has it and I use it for my gate and garage door) and a sound system with CD player and iPod jack.

When I bought my BMW, the dealer did include floormats, but it was a certified pre-owned. My Jeep came with no mats...so I stopped at Target on the way home and picked up a couple sets (carpeted for summer, rubber grooved for winter).

I never saw Journeyman...it did sound interesting, though. And I know 24 has been delayed until '09 (that I was bummed about).

I wonder how the interior volume and layout compares...the HHR seems pretty small inside.

Rockies tickets went on sale Saturday...I got opening day tickets w/ some friends. Looking forward to the season.

What happened to the Bionic Woman revival...did it get cancelled ?

Maybe...the '77, '82, and '86 Zs may still be running around Phoenix, but I doubt it...her last one, a '90 Turbo, was totalled in '92 then she moved on to a Saab, then an Acura, then Mercedes-Benz. My '96 BMW is still in fine shape, as is my daily driver '00 Jeep..

Yeah, probably like Washington County....both OH & PA have those.. lots of older states probably have president-named counties dating from the 19th century..

Maybe, but will the target market (moms) really care? They are more likely to be concerned about cupholder count and kid-friendly features.. One thing I noticed is it seems no thought was put into front licence plate placement...the plate and holder is going to ruin the look of that nice pointy lower grille..

Interesting...so PA has a Jefferson County also... I lived my first decade in Steubenville in Jefferson County, Ohio, about 35 miles west of Pittsburgh.

KoRn

Yeah..the upper, reachable parts are painted body color..he keeps it nice and shiny, and all the hoses and black boxes shiny..

My nutty brother waxes the firewall of his Ranger...and inside the bed, etc. He has way too much time on his hands (he cleans any mud, etc off his cars after each drive).

The Mazda 6 is not bad, but the interior isn't anything special.. the RL is all about the interior.

Read that..glad I didn't watch the show... Autoblog's play-by-play reminds me of Dave Barry's hilarious 24 play-by-plays from last season..

A great one in recent times was Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's 'Hurt'...love that song in both versions. I don't know if it got any country radio airplay, though..

It would be cool if GM would take one of those, clean it up, drop in the V8/Hybrid drivetrain..would make a neat show vehicle.

The last gen Accord in profile (before the '06 MCE) looked a lot like a smoother version of the FWD Mercury Cougar from a few years ago, IMHO...

Pretty funny... speaking of energy drinks, here is the Ultimate Energy Drink---Steven Segal's Lightning Bolt--in Cherry Charge and Asian Experience flavors! Lightning Bolt

I have to laugh at the $81 set of floormats..what nonsense. And $400 for an iPod and USB adapter? Should be standard. BMW certainly knows how to stick it to people w/ the options.

Sounds like he's got some issues w/ his offspring. My sister got some flack from my folks (hard core Ford buyers) back in the '80s when she bought Datsun Z's (4 in a row), and I got a bit of flack (esp. from my redneck brother) when I bought a BMW and then a Jeep...

Hmmm..the rear window looks pretty high and small...looks like it will big blind spots directly behind and in the quarters..

Looks good in red.
