Responding to this thread would not be good for my blood pressure. Jeep should make 4x4s, SUVs, pickups & trucks. NOT CARS! The Compass is less JEEP than a Geo Tracker. Litterally.

I'd LOVE that about a beater... or to restore, or to just stare at in my driveway.

Wow... that's unacceptable for 60K miles!

Camino: Awww-sum. Maybe my old '68 Camaro and your Firehawk will meet up at Carlisle years from now. P.S. I want a '65 Corvair...

He's kidding... he HAS to be kidding. If he's not kidding then it's time to buy a used 2nd gen Aurora & put the silver bullet on blocks for a few decades!

Told you Hondacura is evil.

Oldsmoboi: Great example, I rest my case.

I flipped of a woman in an Acura MDX who blatantly tried to t-bone us, or make it look like she was not going to stop. Dumba$$ did not get the concept of "yield on left turn!"

I like my steak extra-rare but my muscle cars well done. Let's be patient and wait for a well executed Camaro. If I wanted an 72% perfect Camaro I'd buy a Mustang. :wink:

Um yeah, not quite. I WISH that was the case. I always try but it's RARE that this works.

Weird... I agree, they need to get a new ad agency. I DO NOT want to go out and buy popcorn after that.

So go find a totalled BMW 750iL in the junkyard. :AH-HA_wink: But truth be told V12s are for poor people, I want to make a SBC based V16 & stuff that into a true "Rat Rod" Cadillac from an Arizona junkyard.

Great... a "CAMLLE for POOL PEOPLE" The Trabant was the equivelant of a $5 BJ from a AIDS riddled hooker... if you call that good "bang for the buck" then you've never seen, or ridden in one. This will most likely be similar. So they're spending money on developing new materials but this is going to save them money....? Great logic.

Hey XP, you still have the phone # for that crazy lady with a beat up old '78 Volare who thinks it's a '64 Barracuda fastback 4-speed since she wants $9995 for it?

Sexy crossover at a reasonable price... too bad the motor is mopunted sideways & it sends all or the majority of its power to the front wheels.

2 years ago I would have been surprised... not any more. This past weekend I had 5 awkward driving situations. 2: Toyota Camlly 1. Toyota Priss 1: Honda CRV 1. Ford SUV (not sure either expedition or explorer)

Blleding Heart Liberals will say otherwise about the popular vote.

YellowJ: Read my last post Dude... I'm talking about mainstream America NOT myself. As far as I'm concerned I'd vote for him in a NY min. over Hill666ry Clint999n.

Sure, I don't think that's unrealistic. OR Hown about this quantum leap in logic.... Use the Escalade's BOF tooling to make a lower, slightly lighter BOF car that has the REAL potential to pick up where those 500cu. in. powered, RWD, BOF land yachts left off in the mid 1970s. Used to be a time when luxury cars like Cadillacs, Packards, Lincolns & Duesenbergs were made on frames that resembled a 3 ton truck steel spine than a unibody 1985 Honda Accord cross section that consists of some overlapping pieces of sheetmetal for a suspension "hard point". I swear the more I hear about modern cars the more repulsed I am by them... I want to embrace the new GM, I just hope that logic returns to the engineering departments soon. On a side note it's lookign more and more like the new Supra will be a (pillarless for you smartguys) hardtop, every Japanese spy photo or sketch in the past year or so seems to show this so at least it seems like hardtops, one of the coolest styling trends of the past 100 years, are roaring back with a vengance! So can we see a 2 door hardtop full size Cadillac soon?

"In house" or "at the Toyota Crash Test Fascilities" or "On a computer generated simmulation at Toyota H.Q." What the hell is the differance!?

If I get this '59 Buick I'm eyeballing I hope to god no one ever hits me because I'm done being the nice guy! I'm done talking $50 for a busted up rim or $100 for a pair of junkyard tail lights. I have made the cash settlement on the side of the road mistake a couple times and a few other times I decided to let a scratch of ding here and there go without makig the other driver pay. I rememeber getting out mf my parent's BRAND NEW, not even 1 month old 2002 Grand Am GT1 (I sold it to them when I worked for Bill DeLuca Chev/Pont) and as I walk away a duechebag in a blood red two door 98/99 Accord 2 door opens her door a like she's swinging a frekin baseball bat and slams it inot our Pontiac's rear quarter... Most of the red scuff ended up on the bumper cover but it was OBVIOUS it was her RED paint on our galaxy silver car. She tried to deny the WHOLE thing... I saw her do it and my mom who's in the passanger seat witnessed the whole thing and FELT the car move when her door bumped it and this bitch is like "What are you talking about....?!" Needless to say her Accord was not the only BLOOD RED I was seeing! I just walked away and said it was not worth it... but you know what? IT WAS WORTH IT, I should have called the cops and made her insurance (and threfore her) pay for the damages to be corrected. it chipped the paint in small spoty and left red paint in a big streak another 1/2 inch further down. Next time I'm milking it for all it is worth! As a matter of fact I hope someone rear ends me in the Q45 while I'm the only one in it... I'm starting to have BAD luck with both of my Datsuns.

There was a girl in high school who I was obsessed with. Curvaceous, athletic, ski-team member & soccer player. She was a natrual honey blonde with striking eyes like aquamarine water w/ the sunlight filtering down through. (this is going somewhere relevant, I promisse) I was way out of this girl's league... she was one of the $uper popular girls that only hung out with guys who looked like metrosexuals out of A&F catalogs & CK ads. One day I was waiting for the bus and she for her mom we made some small talk which she probably fogot about 3 mintes later but I still remember 13 years later. when her mom pulled up she was in a baby-blue '92 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. I always remember thinking it was a worthy chariot for such a princess. That chick was so hot, still the IDEAL I measure all girls against, most come up way short or just somehow do not have that special something that clicks with me. Marcia did however.
