Intrepidation

I was watching TG the other day while they were reviewing the Z4 and found it neat how the wheel design is similar.

Hey not bad! Came out better than I though. Did you add some clear to protect the paint from coming off? I'm actually pretty impressed with that chrome spray paint. They don't look chrome per say, but they do look like polished metal...which is nice.

Good to have it back I'm sure!

I would check the cables and the Alternator. Shops and even parts stores can test the charging system for you.

You could say that and it is true, but the K car spawned many other variants that helped the company, refereed to ass EEK. This includes the Caravan. Also the original K cars were small, simple, practical and fairly reliable. Which was what the market was looking for.

Nissan Leaf = 367 mpg, no tailpipe, and no gas required. Oh yeah, and it'll be affordable too! Ouch!

:useless:

I know a guy with a 500,000 mile 300M if you're looking for reliable. :wink:

When we went dealer hopping we saw a few Patriots. There's a few of them at my local dealer as well. I like the new interior. Its world's better than the nasty one that used to be inside.

They've got a long wheelbase Venture like that last one running around in the junkyard...has a really bad knock but they use it to haul their tools and crap around. I was there the day it was brought in.

What are you on about? There are no cars besides the Ford Panthers that are or have been BOF for many years.

Could be, although I thought you used to love the Camaro?

Yay for exhuast tips! Love the interior. great pics!

What he said.

He wants the Camaro because it strikes an emotional accord. He says the Mini looks nice but the Camaro looks amazing. Plus his family has 4 other cars if he needs to haul something. Plus he likes the idea of 306 horsepower and a manual.

Lots? I want to se the sales numbers then. I've seen less than 10 of these vans that weren't fleet since the came out.

We got to check a yellow SS out today...only one the dealer had. He wants a V6 under 30,000. There's only one V6 within 25 miles. We looked at Mazdas, Chevies, Minis, and Dodges. He liked the Charger but feels its too big for him. Likes the Challenger but not as much as the Camaro. Liked the SRT4 but didn't love it. So it's basically either a Mini or a Camaro...the things people cross shop. He wants the Camaro more, so I'm nudging him in that direction, and telling him to wait for some more LTs to show up on the lot.

That looks astonishing. I would love to be able to see it...though not locally.

I love the M3, my favorite model in the whole BMW lineup, and IMO, the nest looking one. If you go Corvette you could always look into a C6 or Zo6.

If you're going to bu a Minivan, you should buy a Chrysler van. They're the only ones with folding second and third row seats. The whole point of a minivan is practicality, to maximize people and stuff hauling ability. No other vans do that better. The only other van worth considering is the Odyssey because it's more "fun" to drive and has a nicer interior. As for the GM vans, after the extensive update at least they were no longer unsafe in a head on collision, but side impact results were still pretty poor. My :twocents:

I like my food dead dammit! I don't want it burned though. Just well cooked.

You always complain about it, but the GF's computer has never had any problems outside of the annoying permission prompts. Whatever comp you have just sucks balls, or it's the user. I didn't like Vista enough to upgrade over XP, but it's not a bad OS...just wasn't good enough to pay money for. Either way Windows 7 is on its way and it's the better than any OS I've ever used. The world has moved passed Vista, get over it.

Also I highly recommend installing K-Lite Codec pack for WMP, especially if you're running XP, because it will allow you to watch DVDs with WMP. Vista and 7 versions of WMP have built in DVD playback functionality but XP versions don't last time I checked.

Winamp is a solid choice, and it still has some features I wish Windows Media Player had. Namely that there's an "add" button to add files to your playlist. With WMP you have to open the folder and drag it in if you want to add it. Opening the file clears whatever is already there. Plus it has lots of coll kins. I've used MMD3 skin forever...because it looks really nice and is functional. With that said, WMP has always had the advantage of being able to be minimized and retain playback controls in the taskbar, which I love. I used to not use it because version 10 was a dog...rather slow to load up. I'm running version 12 on Windows 7 and just like everything else on 7, it's very fast loading. Plus it has better support for finding and downloading music within the player, with Winamp you have to use the web browser. I also find it's ripping and burning controls to be easier to use. Even when I used Winamp almost exclusively for playing music, I would use WMP for burning. The other advantage WMP has is that it's video playback is a lot better. Half the time when I try to play a video in Winamp, the video window doesn't automatically pop up,which is annoying. So I use WMP for that too. There other media players out there, but those are the two I use the most. I haven't used Real Player in forever, and I quit using iTunes a long time ago. I really hate how when Apple wants to update iTunes it wants you to install a whole new program (Safari) too.
