Its totally possible to have too much lighting, you'll know how much is too much when an oncoming car passes and you see spots. Thats too bright. And foglights on a clear night are just stupid.

Nah, I'd never use pink.

I love the Fusion, I own one, its just not rear-wheel drive therefore it cannot be allowed into the rear drive mafia. Edit: Link to Rear Drive Mafia thread

Spring all the way, although I accidentally voted for Summer.

The RDM associates probably wont like the fact that you have a FWD car in your sig. On a side note, Fusions are awesome.

FJ Cruiser or Wrangler? God I'm glad I dont have to get a new car for a few years. As much as I've ranted about my dislike for SUVs and the people who drive them, I've come to realize that legitimate off-road ability comes in handy on a regular basis.

Most older, abused S-series cars that I see have huge chunks of the doors or fenders missing but little rust. There is one that I drive by on my way to class that is missing a lot of the driver's side fender, a huge hole above the wheel, but the rest of the fender is still there. I've also seen one that had two holes in the back door, it looked like a fork lift ran into it.

I yanked out my airbags and seatbelts, weight savings you know...

Would we have to start calling him Panther #2?

The Magnum (and MAXX for that matter) are more hatchbacks than station wagons.

Where was the rust on a '92 Saturn? I've seen some rust bubbles around the base of the b-pillar, but thats about it.

Drive the "crappy" Toyota

American workers are expensive, they make a lot more than their foreign counterparts, not to mention health care, pensions, etc. So quit blaming Americans and blame America for forcing its industries to go overseas in order to maintain profit.

Nope, Intrigues had the 3800 from the start and the 3.5 was phased in. I guess one could install the 5.3 that most current W-bodys offer. The Second-gen Aurora had the standard 3.5 and optional 4.0 V8.

My Fusion doesn't have DRLs or automatic headlights and I really dont care. The Solara had both, most of the time when I got into the car at night I still turned the knob for the headlights anyways.

My local Caddy dealer was advertising an '06 DTS for $20k off, their advertised price was about $24k.

There are several French cars that I find attractive in pictures and could see selling as niche models here. I doubt some of the more out-there designs would sell in volume.

Gonna clear $30k this year, but just barely. Probably wont do much better next year.

Just for the record, the Legacy is a very attractive vehicle, but compared to the AWD Fusion, its a fairly expensive ride. The only models with more than 175hp are the GT Limited and GT spec.B, both of which have a base price higher than the price of a loaded Fusion SEL V6 AWD. Not that I'm biased or anything.....

It was 40 f'n degrees outside last night and like an idiot, I didn't turn my heat on so it was a very cold 60 in the house this morning.

I just priced out a Malibu SS, added every option and it took the freaking engine block heater to get the MSRP above $26k. Chances are you can get a couple grand off that if you haggle. How is that pricing out more than the $27-28k you say the Galant comes out as? And the Mitsu isn't an attractive vehicle in any sense, not that the Malibu is sexy as hell either, just sayin....

Last year I had a friend who was taking an American History class. He had to write a paper on something, I suggested he play Oregon Trail and write his paper on it. He decided to go ahead and do it, playing a newer version of the game than the one we all know and love (crappy graphics, those damned rabbits that you can never shoot whilst hunting). As a way to thank me for giving him the idea, he named one of the characters David, and he died about a month into the trip. He got an A on the paper, which was pretty much just a 13 page, play-by-play of the game. It took him a while to write it because he kept having everyone die in the game.

Yeah, pointless.

Oregon Trail is the $h!! Yes, 99% of those apply to me...I miss the 90's.

For a couple grand more you can get a CTS, sure its only got the 2.8, but at least people will respect your purchase.
