They're all short? :AH-HA_wink:

Oh, they're ... 'round. I just came back from Taco Bell. Grande Meal and a Mexican Pizza, oh so good. Still not over 165. I thank my father's side of the family for it quite graciously.

Only in America.

Shame, because it seems Audi might be mostly at fault for them.

That was your freshman high school photo, correct? Hyuck, hyuck. :AH-HA_wink:

Nope. Just the neighborhood-friendly credit union here in town.

Oh where, oh where, could that little place be, my Euro-American friend?

Smart ForFour? (Well, the ForFour wasn't based on the ForTwo, but it and the Groove are somewhere around the same size, correct?)

You forget my state is well known for being anti-gun control as well. I've been shooting rifles since I was just a young kid myself. No, I haven't shot one in quite sometime, but it's like a bicycle, yes? You never really forget how. :AH-HA_wink: But, no, on a serious note, if I have any business in Europe, it'll be strictly related to my career after college. Leave the vigilante assassination missions to a delusional Sixty-8 after they build that B-pillared Beretta-in-spirit Camaro from Satan smallchevy mentioned. Trust me, after the Camaro, BMW will probably earn my business, and, given the current turn of rate of things, probably what scrap of talent I can offer. Damn pity, too. It would have been fun at GM.

Sounds like I could be making plans to clean one of the guns here at home and then making a trip to Europe.

"Beautiful" - 10 Years

I think I'm going to perhaps start a brief series based on this thread for The Random Car Showcase, since it's all but dead. It'll give us all the chance to reflect on all those horrible, horrible cars we had almost forgotten.

I've got my "sources" on speed dial. :AH-HA_wink:

Look no further than Toyota for what result that any sort arrogance and/or a "total domination" mentality brings you. The only difference is that Hyundai will come crashing down much quicker than Toyota will; they don't have the millions of brainwashed morons who buy their products repeatedly.

Remember that Yellow House? :AH-HA_wink:

I'm about a hair away from losing my sanity and actually humping this car when I get it.

Can't argue here; I agree whole-heartedly. To be honest, rear-engine, rear-drive cars are just front-engine, front-drive cars flipped around 180 degrees. Sure, I like the 911, of course. But I'm just not balls-out wild about that particular drivetrain layout. Older BMW 3-Series cars with four-cylinder engines and manual transmissions get respectable mpgs. Even the six-cylinder models get mpgs that aren't too shabby. No, they're not soaring above 45 mpgs, but they do get around 25 mpg or better in mixed conditions.

Not much time left to go ...

I'm talking about a much smaller Yellow House. :AH-HA_wink:

I remember you using the word "Holden" and the term "product evaluation" in a previous post or has that gone and past? Someone stop me before the mental pictures of a certain Yellow House with a certain purple Pontiac sitting in the parking lot drive me to espionage at GM Europe headquarters due to all this mention of G8s, PCS, and product evaluations .

Yes, Borger. That's right. Come to the dark side. And don't forget: we have cookies!

I haven't ridden one since I was eleven years-old. But, you know, at least every bicycle I've ridden was rear-drive.

Try six bucks a gallon and then maybe I'll be totally serious about buying, oh I don't know, a four-cylinder 3-Series coupe. Sorry, a ForTwo ain't gonna wind up in this old kid's driveway. Maybe if gas cost fifteen bucks a gallon.
