Intrepidation

You mean take care of the problem that they first became apparently aware of 10 years ago?

I'm glad it didn't, I preferred the Sky's sharper looks and its interior design. It was one of the best applications of the black tie radio.

I have yet to see a dash kit that didn't look added on. That's not to say I haven't modded my interior though, its actually quite extensively modified. However, I'm all about subtly and making appear like it came from the factory that way (except the steering wheel cover). How it originally looked: Current:

Why is there a Cavalier in the Pontiac thread?

This. While its easy to complain that cars today all share common styling themes, go to any era and you fill find the same thing. A 50's car looks like its from the 50s, an 80's car looks like its from the 80's, etc.

Seems I started a trend way back when....

Modder.

I believe you answered your own question.

I think the Journey has aged rather well. Look at what it competes with. None of those have exteriors that look any better/more modern. The new front fascia is similar to the current R/T's which I like, and the silver bright work add some depth. The interior is already nicer than what most of its class has, and it with the 3.6 it has a nice powertrain. It may not be a canyon carver, but as a people hauler I don't see the competition being markedly better.

Thank you Blake, you magnificent bastard for introducing us to this channel. It has literally become my favorite thing on Youtube.

Since we have a basic hand tool thread going why not a power tool thread? What's in your arsenal? What do you want add to it? For drills, I actually have three. My very first power drill is a Black & Decker CDC1800. It's been a great drill but the NiCd batteries no longer hold a charge and it just doesn't fulfill my needs anymore. (3/8 chuck, 650rpm). Last year I purchased a Skil 2364-02 720 rpm compact drill/driver. This has been a great little tool, having 2-speeds (which the B&D lacks) makes stripped screws a far less frequent occurrence. A few months ago I was given a Makita 6227D, however it too had a dead NiCd battery. These are nice drills so I ordered a replacement NiMh battery for it. Unfortunately, it didn't fit properly and neither did the second one they sent me, so I'm waiting on a third to see if it will. Along with the Makita drill I also received a matching flashlight and Ryobi 1/2 corded drill. I've used that a lot for heavy drilling. Only problem with it is that the chuck is worn so bits that aren't notched at the base can slip. However, I for Christmas I received a Ryobi One+ Li-Ion kit containing P271 1600 rpm 1/2" chuck drill and a P234G impact driver (which I have been wanting for some time). They seems like really nice quality tools, and I can't wait to put these through their paces. I like how the One+ system Ryobi has been using for years means that any One+ tool (of which there are over 50) can use the Li-Ion batteries. Rounding out my selection of drills is a Ryobi drill press I purchased on Craigslist and has been awesome for my needs. I have a Skil 9296-01 angle grinder which sees a lot of duty grinding off old paint and surface rust from lawn mowers as well as sharpening blades. It works great, however I've found I don't like the push forward locking switch to turn it on and keep it on, as its very awkward to hold on and locking it can be dangerous because if it slips out of my hands it won't shut off. Next time I'd get one with a trigger type design. I also have a no-name 8" orbital buffer. Then there's the yard equipment: a gas powered Weed Wacker and many lawn mowers. On my list of things I'd like to purchase are a miter saw, a circular saw, a reciprocating saw, (probably all Ryobi), and an Impact Wrench (probably a DeWalt corded).

Even the "Craftsman Professional" tools are being made in China. Some are still Made in USA, but not all. I can't stand dirty/rusty/messy tools. They always go back in their designated spots and periodically get cleaned.

If anything the rotary knob is much more intuitive than the the Audi style shifter.

I'd like a quality LED replacement for DE3175 bulbs to brighten the Prizm's single dome light up.

If you've ever turned a dial you can operate a rotary gear selector. It's not rocket science, or even 3rd grade level intelligence.
