Intrepidation

But th the Charger has: Boston Acoustics (which is also good) RWD 250 hp V6/5-speed 340 hp V8/5-speed 425 hp V8/5-speed IMHO better looking, especially in R/T or SRT-8 (who cares about a lighter? Smoking is bad for you anyway

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure he meant a lot to you and your mother. It's good that he didn't suffer long at least, and I'm sure he's in a better place. He'll always be in your hearts. Keep the Caprice and care for it as he would, in memory of him.

They are quite nice, but I'll never trade my keyboard, and I've got my heart set on the MX. What I love about the keyboard is...well a lot. It's the only keyboard I know of that has Macro keys (which is very handy for MMORPGS), as well as the display screen (which I use all of thee time). The backlighting is my favorite feature, because I can type at low light without guessing. Being able to disable the cursed Windows key is another handy plus. Aside from that, the keys have a very nice feel to them. Solid, yet quiet.

Don't get run over by a Commodore!

Neat...but what's the point? A USB cable works just as well (unless you mean it features a USB port for docking, which the G15 has 2 of them).

Hey those are pretty nice, especially the mouse. It looks very cool with the blue LEDs, and teh keyboard looks slick too, but the it's not as cool as the G15 :AH-HA_wink:

Poor rabbit but man what a sight that musta been! You know what I hate? Those stupid Sparrows, they're like Kamikazes..waiting until just before you get to where they are then they fly in front of you across the road at low level..because they are either too damn stupid to fly 5 feet higher over the oncoming mass or they all have a death wish. Haven't hit one yet but I won't feel bad if I do...they're asking for it I swear! Ina ll seriousness, I don't like the idea of hitting an animal, and I've been fortunate enough not to hit a live one (although I've run over a few dead ones by accident). The worst thing is seeing a pet that's been hit.

(I'm bored) What type of computer mouse do you currently use and do you want to upgrade it...if so to what? I currently have a Logitech Cordless Click! Plus mouse. It's a pretty nice mouse but I've noticed lately that it has to be closer to the wireless receiver in order to work well...probably age. I'm dying to get an MX Revolution though, it's a sexy mouse with awesome feel and precision...plus it'll match the rest of my Desktop...black and silver :3 On a side note, I dislike all of Microsuck's mice products...they feel cheaper than Logitech, both in terms of materials and most noticeably the wheel. It has no precision and feels rubbery and cheap. As for keyboard, I have a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard. Best Keyboard on the market IMHO (especially if you're gamer)

Bleh, it's just a Suzuki...and not a very pretty one at that. Glad we've got the Cobalt.

Can't say. I have a friend who has a Cavalier but I don't know if it has an Ecotec in it. If it is an Ecotec then it's noisy, raspy, and unrefined, but reasonably powerful for a 4-banger. I'll give Toyota a nod though, the 1.6 is a much better sounding/more refined engine overall (but that damn exhaust manifold...*shakes fist*)

I'm sure you can find a tranny for cheap.

On another note, the local dealer can't seem to keep their Avengers in stock.

Did I mention my ass can barely contain itself?

3 Avengers (in one day): light blue SXT, dark blue R/T, and an inferno red SXT a black MKX a buttload of Edges (they are everywhere!) a black Nitro R/T a gray Aura

OH TEH NOES!

The interior is redeeming in its functionality, like other Chrysler products, the interiors partly redeems themselves by being very functional. Examples: Load `n Go, Stow `n Go, Swivel `n Go, LED flashlight, MyGig, heated/cooled cupholders, Chill Zone, array of storage bins, etc.

Fixed

There are valid points, they should be aiming for the top not the middle. However it's not like GM or Ford hadn't said their past efforts sucked. The differences that we're seeing progress from GM and Ford right now, while Chrysler's products that we see may have been too far down the pipeline to fix..does it excuse them? No. But to say they have no business making cars isn't right either. They make some damn good cars, we'll mention the LX cars, the Ram (it only seems old now because it is), the minivans, the Pacifica, etc. They do know how to do it right, they've just lost there way lately. However, I'm not ready to call them down for the count until I see the new Ram, because from the information we've got so far and the images being resented, it should be very, very good. As for the Hyundai knock...their exteriors still suck for the most part, but that's not what the firm helped them with...they helped them with interiors.

Styling is subjective. I personally think the Caliber looks great on the outside and looks fine on the inside. What it needs is a materials overall, a suspension tune-up and a real automatic..Ditch the CVT and give SE and SXT 4-speeds and give the R/T a 6-speed (there ya go, an easy way to have a class-leading powertrain). The Patriot is fine, it just needs a materials update like the Caliber. But I agree, drop the Compass...it doesn't sell enough to justify it's existence. I happen to love the post MCE look of the Durango...I've always liked the body just thought it needed a nose job..and that's what they gave it. It needs a new interior, that's it's main problem now. The Nitro should be body color on all trim levels, and should get a returned suspension and new interior. The Sebring...honestly the front could be left alone, juts make the roofline more graceful and fix the rear and it would look fine. Interior designs could use improvement in a unch of vehicles, but I like the designs of the Sebring and Avenger. They're believably different and both look good IMO. Materials need to be improved.

Hopefully the bring it, it's one of the best looking subcompacts I think.

The problem is that the Camry is selling about 5 times that. While I think the Sebring's interior design isn't bad, the materials could certainly use some work. All of Chrysler's interiors need a lot of work. It's a no brainer that they all need improvements, even those that are good still could use improvements. Exterior styling is subjective, a lot of people seem to like it (it's OK, but not my thing), and the Nitro is definitely got the exterior styling down, but they both need better driving dynamics and refinement. Why is it so hard to put the Avenger R/t's suspension setup into the Sebring, and why is the R/T the only Avenger that has good handling? The problem Chrysler as well Ford and GM have long had is aiming too low, either at the current competition or not even as good as them. they must aim at the future, to be better, not just as good. This group that they hired seems promising, as Hyundai's interiors have improved immensely in only a few years. The integrated center stack, attractive designs and good materials are huge improvements over not so long ago. If they can do that for Hyundai, they should be able to do wonders for Chrysler. Its nice to see Chrysler is at least admitting their mistakes, not making excuses for it. Now if they can act on it, we'll see some real progress.

Well excuse me, I didn't know it was available on small cars. That's cool, air filters are nice for people who have allergies. I didn't know they were available on low priced cars (I don't keep track of what car has an air filter).

So what sort of repairs did you have to do to the car Jason? Also, did you consider trying to sell it on ebay?
