I saw about 7 of them in Michigan while at Woodward. That doesn't count at dealers or the Saturn booth at Woodward. I have yet to see one in Canada though. -
How many would rather drive in stead of flying.

Me!!!!!! We drive everywhere. Michigan every year, Nova Scotia, Florida, Ohio, and Indiana. -
I will be very careful with it. I am ot going to be a retarded driver and try to get air of of speed bumps. I have seen that and know it doesn't work. The rednecks and tuner people try it. There have been a couple wrecked. Its a good way to ruin a bodykit lol. They also had a 1997 Cavalier there with over 300,000 kms on it. It still was in excellent shape and also passed emission testing and safety standards. That Cavalier should be a good sign.

Personally I like them and I know many people who have owned and still own them. I like the looks of them and this one is loaded as well. Sunroof, power locks, power windows, automatic, etc. I have had a couple people advise me that this is a good first car. BTW, that is $3500 CAN so I dont know what it would go for in the US.

The dealer still has the Regal but I don't want it. I went to go make a deal on the Cherokee but they sold it off. I went to the back lot to look but they had something better. My patience is up, I found THE ONE. So sitting back there with an 1989 Pontiac 6000 Safari with portholes, a 1997 Cavalier, and the Regal is a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire GT with only 114,000 kms on it. It is black and has power everything and a sunroof. They want $3500 for it. What do you think? Here are the pictures.

Who here works out or exercises regularly?
american_revolution_2005 replied to mustang84's topic in The Lounge
Yes I do. It is called Chip...and Dip. Does pressing the remote count? It might build up my finger muscles lol. People ask me if I work out and I tell them the same or just say, does it look like a work out, lol. I will probably start exercising soon though. The problem is if I go out for a run or jog my sister will come as well. I don't like her being near me. -
Facebook getting too over-the-top

You are making total sense. I may just see how much they want for it so I can fool around with it and practice taking things off and putting them back etc. The whole moving situation is ruining everything. I am depressed, my parents are getting divorced, and my sister won't leave me alone. The reason I dont have my time is because of her. If they would let us take the car for very cheap that would be great but my parents said that they want to be able to move first but noone is buying our house. They would let me if they had moved. Either that or its one of their lame excuses. My sister gets to do something she likes for $35 a lesson. Horseback riding is expensive. She has been doing it every week for about a couple of years so it adds up. They don't spend money on me because I dont like anything else. They don't realize that I could use my time and they tell me to be nice to my sister when she is annoying me badly. Honestly, I want to push her down the stairs. She doesn't understand privacy or alone time. -

This Jeep is pretty good though. It is running strong and has little rust. It is a 91 and has 217kms on it. The Regal had 350kms. I also saw them driving it. It was a trade-in and I saw it all around town before. They aren't the best in winter but I may not drive in the winter here. I could still take the bus. I really want something of my own before I can drive. Our auto shop is great because if we bring in our cars they can inspect them an so on. Get a temporary permit, drive down to my school and my teacher would check everything. He is a licensed mechanic. I would want the dealer to check it before anyways. I will see how I am. I just don't feel that great lately. I don't know whether it's depression or school or boredom. I have been depressed ever since getting back from Detroit. I haven't really been myself. I haven't drawn in a couple of weeks and I am always getting overly annoyed by my sister. In my house, I don't get as much "My time" as I would like. I want a room in the basement away from everyone else and bright of course but I want a drawing table. I need somewhere quiet where I can draw in quietness and have concentration. I was overly depressed last night that I didn't even fall asleep. Lately everything has pissed me off and I have been kind of staying away from my friends. I end up being in no mood to talk. The only talking I really did was with my auto shop teacher because it was about cars. Cars and art are what I only want to talk about. The situation of the divorce isn't helping as well. I wanted to move in with my aunt but her son which is my cousin is the one that really pissed me off. I don't know what I am going to do. I want a car to work on by myself and have my own time. It is very weird and I hate being like this but I usually always laugh but I dont as much anymore. I actually enjoy fixing cars. That is why I am taking auto shop. I may just see if I could get that Regal for free and just mess around with it. It would be my own time and I would never want to drive that car. -

UPDATE, the Regal is dead. Crush my hopes. It has 350,000 kms on it and they are sending it to the crusher. I am now going to try to get the Cherokee there but they want me to wait and get something newer. I want an older vehicle to fix up and my teacher recommended I do so. Cherokees stand up better in the winter anyways and this one has less kms and less rust. I want to try before it gets sent off. It was a trade-in so it is going to a dealer auction. I is still in good shape and a good runner. -

I will only go for it if its cheap, and mechanical sound. I am going to ask if it runs today. -
They just used it as being three wishes and to bring back the Camaro was of them. Two wishes left may not mean anyhting but it also may. Possibly, the new Impala. I want one of those posters but unfortunately I can't because it is in the US and I don't think they ship it to Canada.

I actually like the red trim. I love black and red put together. The rims I am not too worried about but I may buy steelies because these are starting to rust or wear. -

I have seen a dealer do it before. This will be under $500 for sure though if not $200. It may not be a 91 but I'm not sure. I am going to do an inspection tomorrow. There was a 92 Regal 4-door Gran Sport at the dealer beside but it was $2800 with about 200,000 kilometres. I saw an exact one somewhere else for $2400 and it had 99,000 kilometres. -

american_revolution_2005 replied to american_revolution_2005's topic in The Lounge
All I am going to do is see if I can fix the seats or put a seat cover over them. I may also try to do something with the rust. The rust hasn't rusted through the body totally. I also want to make sure it runs well and usually the 3800s do. Parts are everywhere for that engine. I may want to replace the radio but that isn't necessary til later. One of the fog lights also needs to be replaced. I'll see what is wrong with it tomorrow. The guy who owns the dealer is great and he knows what is wrong. He sold us our Tahoe and he is very negotiable. In the case probably even more. BTW, if anyone can resize the pics. I did try to resize them but I clicked the wrong one. I clicked 75% thinking it was 25%. -

I wnat it to fix it up. I am taking auto shop so I want a car to fix up myself. You feel more proud when you buy a crap car and fix it up yourself. I like it but there is a good chance it wont be mine. -

This car is very cheap. The rust isn't as bad as it looks. The worst part is that the bench seat is ripped. If all goes well, this car may be like $200. -
If my parents give in I may have my own car. Its a Buick Regal Limited with the 3800 V6. It is a two-door as well and I think it may be a 1991 or 92. I am checking out the price tomorrow or sometime this week. It is in terrible condition but since I cant drive, I will spend time trying to fix it up. I have pics as well. The interior is leather but the front bench seat is torn badly and the body is alright. The car has rust but it isn't too bad but it is more then I would like. When I go back I will check out the price and if it runs. I also will have to find a way to get it home. Anything I should watch out for? This car also has an analog speedometer not digital. Here are the pics. Sorry for the bluriness. (Edit: smaller pics!! Thanks capriceman!)

RIP Steve Irwin... Its kind of weird how he never died from all those snakes and crocodiles but he is killed by a Stingray. I hadn't heard anything about him for a couple of years but that was because people lost interest once he brought his baby with him. He held the baby over the crocodile pit. After that his shows were cancelled, etc.

Austin Powers song???
american_revolution_2005 replied to american_revolution_2005's topic in The Lounge
Yes it was Soul Bossa Nova. Somebody did use the same tune in one of their songs in the early 90s. It was a really annoying song because it repeats a phrase over and over. I was looking for Soul Bossa Nova though. Thanks! -
What was the song called that was in one or more of the Austin Powers movies when they dance in the beginning? I know it was a One Hit Wonder who produced the song in the early 90s. Does anyone know the name or artist?
