Its not the car, its the driver whenever someone gets rear-ended. I dont have ABS and I have never rear-ended someone. And anyone in their right mind would take that generation Civic over a similar vintage Cavalier, because frankly those Cavvys sucked hard and those Civics are comfortable and (despite what you may think) run forever and are safe.

Larry the Cable Guy is one person I hope I run into in a dark alley some day. I cannot stand him, he makes Dane Cook seem funny.

I've got an all Ford driveway, then again, mine is the only car in my driveway. If we branch it out to my immediate family we've got 2 Fords, 1 Saturn, 1 Pontiac and 1 Chrysler that still technically runs, plus the Opel my mom is driving while in the UK. BTW: My favorite car to ever grace my driveway...2000 Toyota Camry Solara SE V6

Solution: You drop them off at the concert, go get hammered, sober up in the parking lot and drive them home. Or rent a limo.

Lexus SC300/400 (didn't catch the engine, but it was a first generation) convertible.

Maybe the driver and his passengers just need to diet.

Both teams are young and immensely talented, I'd give the D-Backs the pitching edge (by quite a bit) while the Rockies are (quite a bit) better defensively, so the division will likely come down to who hits better. You cannot go wrong either way, the Dodgers and Padres could make things interesting, but it'll come down to the two teams that represented the NL West in last years playoffs.

All the lights in my house are usually out anyways. At 8 last night, my laptop and living room tv were on. The light in the garage may have been on, I dont know, that thing has a mind of its own.

Thats Wikipedia's definition. If you've ever driven a vehicle with a CVT, you would know why any "traditional" automatic is completely different in driving feel. Calling the Dynaflow a CVT is like me saying the Fusion is carburated because fuel goes into the engine.

How is a 2-speed Dynaflow (what I assume most '59 Buicks have) a CVT? 2 forward ratios vs. infinite forward ratios

The Braves have the potential to be very good, if Smoltz, Glavine and Hampton can pitch well over an entire season, the first two are, to be frank, old, while Hampton it seems cannot get out of bed without getting hurt.

That time of year again, opening day is tomorrow. Well, the real opening day, those two games in Tokyo dont count. Hopefully this season ends a little better for my Cubbies, the 3-game sweep out of the playoffs sucked. A World Series title would be great, a pennant would be ok. It will be nice watching the Cards lose. Predictions: AL East - Red Sox AL Central - Indians AL West - Mariners AL Wild Card - Tigers NL East - Mets NL Central - Cubs NL West - Rockies NL Wild Card - Phillies World Series - Cubs over Indians

I'd also put both Scion 5-doors alongside the Vibe ahead of the Astra 5-door, in terms of versatility and equipment, if not style. Dont think I'd put the tC ahead of the Astra 3-door.

Did it on the Malibu and Aura too. My guess would be to simplify production, either make them standard across the board or delete them. Deleting them all together was probably cheaper. Yay new GM!

The Astra is nice, but nowhere near as practical as the Vibe. HHR SS>Vibe>Astra

Also used in the Catera and 9-5, I believe.

I like it, I'll even go against the flow and say that I like the grill too. Not that cleaning it up a bit for production would be a bad thing.....

Touché

I got some pics of a white G8 here, nothing fantastic. The red one in the showroom wasn't fantastic either.

Thats a great power/weight ratio, but my god those things are tiny. Driving a Swift/Metro is like driving a first-gen Miata, I'm just too tall to do it.

African-American

Banning people because you dont like what they have to say. Classy. Sounds like something Josh would have done.

Infiniti J30t Who the hell still drives those things? I want to know if it had 4ws.

When I drove the Sebring, if I put it into neutral and coasted downhill at about 80, the DIC would register 99mpg. Does that count?

Sorry for the less than spectacular picture quality, thats what happens when you mix a 1.3 megapixel Blackjack and bad lighting. They have a red one in the showroom, couldn't get a good picture of it. The website also lists a third G8 GT, but it wasn't anywhere to be found. This particular car has the premium package, 18" all-seasons and carries a sticker of $31,395. Honestly, I am still underwhelmed.
