well something isn't right there. There isn't an Acadia and I know that Budget is featuring them as their SUV upgrade. Edit: Fusion isn't a shocker, something had to replace the old Taurus Mustang is the "standard" car for most rental agencies and it's the convertible for any rental agency that doesn't rent Chryslers <i.e. the smart ones> Chrysler 300 has been that way for a while. They're all the Plymouth Newport 2.7litres Charger is similar enough to 300 Avenger does surprise me I've seen a bunch of Enterprise Auras... so not shocked there. Crossfire must be going to the "premium" fleets that Alamo and a few others have now. Some of them even will rent you an XLR with enough notice. Edit 2: What should be a shocker... look at Lucurne. 13%? LeSabre used to be the full sized darling.

Thank you bobo, that worked <not that I doubted you>. I feel more secure in my house now.

FWD FTW

thank you. trying now.

Problems with the Ex... and his opinion that he should be able to walk into my house whenever he pleases.

I need to know how to clear out all codes from a Genie screw drive garage door opener. I want to disable all existing garage door remotes. I know how to add new ones, I just want to be sure that other ones are disabled. any of you following today's events should understand why....

and I object to the very idea that she's take any of these... much less the Porsche... off road. maybe if she ran over a curb at the mall or something

Tell her that it is prudent to at least look at the competition <SRX, Enclave, Acadia> even if she doesn't intend to buy it just so that she can make an informed decision. then... once she sits in the Enclave or SRX, close the doors, lock them, have the lease paper work in the glove box, and tell her she can't come out till she signs.

Let's just say.... I didn't hold back this afternoon. He left in tears.

pwnd: Chevy Olds <twice> Cadillac <sing>Well, we moving on up!</sings> Not pwnd: everything else from GM

I have to ask.... what is "quirky" about a Saab anymore? FWD and Turbo? Volvo, VW, Mitsu, Dodge, have all done that. They look fairly mainstream... there aren't any hatchbacks.... Is keeping the key in the center console all that is required for "quirky" these days?

3 2 4 and an honourable mention to #1 because I like the avalanche treatment he put on the back

Audi?

Easier.... and I wanted to live for some time in Europe even before Chas.... I've met some good guys, but I've not been letting any of them in emotionally because I'm consciously breaking or limiting links here. edit: the only reason I'd want to stay around is to watch the train wreck when the hawk drops him...... and do my little Kharma dance.

You of all people can't get my screen name right.....after all these years together?!? :sob:

Don't hold back there man.... let 'em have it. In this case they already don't respect you... they just don't know it yet. So in the end, you've lost nothing.

Tempest

ugh... he was just here. We had a huge fight. I want to leave this place so bad. asshole even had the balls to drive over in the new 5-series that Daddy Warbucks is letting him use because he got fired from the salon.

Raise the tax on gas and invest heavily in public transportation. Anyone who knee jerks and says that public transportation isn't feasible automatically gets their tax doubled each time they say it.

automatic locking rear differential

Nearly always. There are less parts, the rear suspension can be simpler <IRS v. IRS or Twist beam v. Live axle>. There are packaging efficiencies that come with being able to have the entire powertrain in a 3' x 3' x 3' box which means less design time. In the hands of a skilled and experienced driver, FWD and RWD can be equal in poor traction conditions. However, 97% of drivers aren't skilled enough to know what to do in poor traction situations. The best evidence I have of this is the multitudes of 4x4 SUVs I see spun off the road in the winter here in Pittsburgh. If they can't keep it on the road in a 4x4... which generally requires the least amount of skill, I doubt they'll be able to do it in a FWD or RWD car. In terms of driving skill required, the order of skill from the least to greatest is AWD < 4WD < FWD < RWD. I'm always amused by the people who say "I'll be fine in the snow, I have <AWD, 4WD>!" as if that means that other cars don't have 4 wheel brakes......... I have no problem with a FWD Monte Carlo... I've always viewed them as a budget Toronado/Riviera/Eldorado.

No... because you can add a moonroof if you wish. The Onstar and traction control aren't even options for the other cars. If you *have* to include the moonroof on the Aura.... then you must include the V-6 on the Accord and Camry.

meaning that on some vehicles certain features may not even be available, but they get as close as possible. Neither the Accord or Camry have an Onstar like system available.... but that doesn't make the comparison invalid. Neither the Accord or Camry have traction control available... but that doesn't make the comparison invalid. Not that I've don't the research, but I'm sure there are features that are only available in certain packages in all 3 cars it's highly likely that those packages don't line up features exactly. NO ONE except Bentley, Rolls Royce and Maybach, have completely ala' carte ordering schemes. What is so hard to understand about that?

I bet it outweighs all the rest of those K-cars combined! <corolla = Toyota's K-car>
