Intrepidation

Red Jeep Patriot dark green Tundra black Silverado a silver and a green Wrangler Unlimited

It’s pathetic that 1.) They ripped off the Chevy Silverado commercials by using the same song, and 2.) They are trying t pose as an American company when they are, and always will be Japanese.

They had a 9-5 sedan there too, but I didn't get to drive it.

I dunno about him but I saw quite a few at my local Chrysler dealer. I saw one on the road the other day. I think it looks great in tan.

Yeah that color is gross...so are the hubcaps! Is tan an option across the line now or is it still limited to the Limited models? Nice camera by the way...I don't see grain in the images...you bastard

Ford Fusion..get the new 3.5L in it ASAP Chrysler Sebring...give all Sebrings the Avenger R/T's suspension and make an SRT version that puts out 370 hp. Make all Avengers have the R/T suspension tuning and make the SRT's even more aggressive with a 270-280 hp powertrain. Make an Aura Red Line Give the Focus something with guts under the hood that makes 200-230 hp Mazdaspeed3 sedan

Well the LH models are known to handle better, with sharper steering, better body control, and better packaging (especially in the backseat). So it's not really worlds ahead of them. It has some advantages over them I'm sure, but then...the LH models were replaced with the LX models while the W-body Impala still continues. If you mean specifically my car, well then yeah it's ahead of it in terms of mine has the base engine, cloth seats, no folding seat (I wish it had that). Also The impala does have nicer color combinations for the interior plus brightwork...but that's something every car has gained now..most last-gen car didn't have brightwork to dress up the interiors. Also, the interior has many more hard plastics than the LH cars did...even the LX cars have more soft stuff. People would probably buy your Scion over either the Honda or the Impala if they were just basing it on price Plus, even if they cost about the same, if the people don't need a big car (especially with a somewhat cramped backseat) they'd choose the more fuel efficient car with the extra gear and nicer interior. That's my thinking anyway...I'd choose a Cobalt over it because I can get an SS which would be far more fun to drive and look at. The Imapla's problem is besieds it's ad packaging is that it's not exciting. People buy Chargers because they are exciting, even the base models are eye catchers. If the Impala had more visual appeal I'd consider it. It's all good though, because soon we'll have an RWD Impala..and that's something I'd want

Congrats! It's too bad you couldn't get a tan interior (or fog lights). The gray is kind of overwhelming but at least there's metallic trim to help out....and the design itself is nice. The car looks really good from side profile. Hope you have good luck with it! So is this the 2.7L? I spy...a Shadow!

People who like it?

Yup...it looks like it's just a Tundra with a roof and extra seats. AT least Ford, GM, and Chrysler make their SUVs look different from their platform-mate trucks.

This the adapter wiring harness that connects the stereo to the Prizm. But like I said, the colors are different It still has the wiring to the old stereo connected to it...same for the Shadow... As you can sorta see by my $h!ty pictures, some of the colors are different and that's what is throwing me off....by teh wya is the a ground cable or something? to I just cut it to remove the harness like I would the other wires?

Show us pictures!

So I don't want to spend a hundred+ bucks on a new stereo for the Prizm, so I figure I'd put the Shadow's nicer one in it, and give the Shadow it's stock radio back. Since the Prizm already has an aftermarket stereo, it has the wiring harness...so no need to buy one. Here's the problem though: I've never done this before. Also, Looking at the colors of the wiring harness wires verses the colors of there stereo's wires...they're different. Does anyone know where I can find diagrams or instructions or something? I tried searching but no luck...but I am probably not looking it up right.

I hate beer, it tastes like ass, so I'd take the milkshake. I'd also take the Civic because: Better packaging Better Handling Better interior NAV system can be had Faster (Si) 1 more gear than the Impala (2 if you count the Si manual) I can get it with a manual I can get it as a coupe...that isn't ugly For those who care, better resale value and of course...better fuel economy Then again, I'd choose a lot of cars over the Impala.

If you love your wife you will get her the Cobalt

2 SSR's...one silver one black a gray Avenger SXT and a black Avenger R/T a silver Sebring Touring a Delorean a red Acadia and a silver Acadia a gray Durango SLT a Magnum SRT-8

The most hated car on C&G is the Camry or the Prius

A lovely potato for you! (because I don't know the answer to your question).

I'd like to throw in these: As for classics... Chrysler Saratoga 4 door hardtop (can't find a photo) And plenty more

That would be sweet to win. Hell any car would be fun to win. If you don't like it, you can always sell it and buy something you want What the hell, Ill do it.

So Wednesday after work my girlfriend and I had a nice lunch at the park and decided that it would be fun to go to the Interstate Auto Auction...no intentions of buying, just a chance to check out and drive a bunch of cars. We arrived and registered, the went car browsing...we ended up looking at several cars and test driving a few too. Here are some Highlights: Dodge Stealth My this was the first car we test drove, which my girlfriend pointed out shortly after we started looking at cars. This one was Silver, with the stupid Dodge spoiler (I like the Mitsubishi one much better), upgraded brakes, and performance exhaust, and...blue trimmed black interior. Now, I have always loved the 300GT/Stealth, so immediately we got the keys for it. Upon getting inside the first thing I noticed was that it was...cramped...with barely any headroom. It's a sports car so I suppose that's to be expected. Eventually I got reasonably comfortable though. Next thing I noticed was that the hand brake didn't work...no resistance at all...cable must have broken. I started it up, and it came to life right away, with a deep, mean growl. Adding to the list of problems was the driver's door power window didn't work, and the clutch was basically gone. Still, that's not too bad considering it's age. I put it in gear and took it to the test course (they actually have a course to drive on now). Transmission shifted well...not smooth but that may just be it's nature. I loved the fact that it was a short-throw. The car actually was quick on it's feet and shifted great. Also, to our surprise, the A/C worked...which was nice since I couldn't roll down my window. It handled and stopped well too...and best of all the engine didn't have any knocking or ticking sounds. We parked it, and I planned to pop the hood, but with no parking brake, every time I went to open the good the car would start to roll back...so I left it alone. It would have been a sweet car to get though...someday. Next up was a 2003 Chrysler 300M. It was very dark red..kinda mahogany in color. Very pretty. It has 17-inch wheels as well. Sitting inside reveals a very nice, tan interior. It happens to be my favorite design among the LH cars. It had had automatic climate control, 6-speaker stereo, traction control, steering wheel radio controls (although the rim of the wheel was thinner than mine), leather, and the 3.5L HO with the 4-speed AutoStick. It also had nice touches like chrome ringed gauges and chrome door handles (both of which I want for my car). It also had extenders on the sun visors, which I thought was a nice touch. Curiously, the stereo itself didn't seem as good as mine with only bass and tremble settings and no cassette player...whereas mine has bass, mid, and high range adjustments as well as CD and cassette. It also had a working trunk light...something mine sadly lacks (as well as reclining back seats with an armrest). The seats themselves proved very comfortable. Taking it out to the test course, the additional power of the 3.5L was immediately apparent. While the 2.7L isn't a slug, the 3.5L has better low and midrange power, so you don't have to put the pedal as far down to get power from it. However, there seemed to be problems with the transmission. While it shifted it's forward gears fine, the shifter itself felt stiff and rough through the selections, and although the computer said the AutoStick was working, the car itself didn't seem to shift when I used it. In addition, when I put it in reverse it made a somewhat loud noise. Something was definitely not right with it...and at only 103k miles on the odometer...that's not very good. When I popped the hood it seemed to be making a strange noise from the alternator...so this car definitely would need work. Things were probably made worse when we heard some idiot revving the car like it was an S2000 later that day. We also test drove a Silver Audi A4 (I think it was an `02 or `03). Interior and performance seemed nice...but the engine didn't sound good...there was a ticking sound. The brakes squeaked, and the suspension made lots of noise over bumps...probably needed new bushings. I also sat in a Lincoln Continental. I always liked the looks of the late model cars...but the interior was just dreadful. It squeaked and groaned and felt very cheap...and I never even drove it. The fact that it was all gray didn't help much either. There was also a `01 or so Silverado extended cab that had seen an abusive life as a contractor truck. Split paint was all over it...inside and out, and the leather was torn. The had an older Chevy Van from the same company too that had the $h! beaten out of it. The most eventful test drive however was a `03 or `04 Saab 9-3 Aero 2.8L Turbo. It was silver with handsome 5-spoke wheels and a black/gray interior. We waisted no time in getting the keys to it. The "key" is a strange thing...it looks more like a plug. I unlocked it and we got in and check out the interior. The car as a whole is in great shape, with no visible wear and tear on the inside. The seats are firm but comfortable...although it felt like I was sitting on them rather than in them. The use of bushed metallic rim was very handsome (my girlfriend liked it a lot). The climate controls were easy to figure out (although she figured them out before me). I love the steering wheel design and we both loved that dash-mounted cupholder. Honestly, it never gets boring to watch it deploy. It also had a larger cupholder in the center console forward of the armrest that could expand for bigger drinks or be used for storage...it could also be closed with a sliding door. It had express down windows for all windows, which nice (but not up), as well as a sunroof. After poking around the interior, I plugged the "key" into the ignition and it fired right up...then bonged to tell us that there was a headlight alignment malfunction and to contact the dealer (problem number 1). We took it to the test course, where I noticed that the front suspension was making some noise over large bumps (bushings maybe?). When we got to the open part of the course I gave it some juice and it took off eagerly. A test of it's manual shift mode confirmed that unlike the 300M, it worked, and was very responsive...downshifting or upshifting when I told it to. I stopped the car and showed my girlfriend teh cool placement of the hand brake...something I soon regretted...because it worked...but wouldn't release. The button was missing...and ended up being in the ashtray. I tried to reassemble it...and I did, but the cable wouldn't release. We had to call the on-site mechanic over to fix it, which he did. Embarrassing? You betcha. After that little incident we drove it around a bit more than parked it (reverse worked fine, thank you). I popped the hood to look at the engine and listen to it. Sounded great and looked very clean with no ticking or knocking. Several people were starring at the car, and some of them asked me questions about it...obviously the car sparked a lot of interest. As for me, I love it. I love the quirkiness of it. It does little things differently than most cars and makes mundane activities like deploying the cupholder, listening to the airliner-like bong, and simply turning the key, seem...well...fun. Overall it seemed well built too, with the only cheap bits being the plastic on the center stack and the flimsy-feeling door pulls. It handled well and had good power to top it all off. It made me sad to know that we couldn't buy this thing...which is too bad because if I had the money I would have bid on it. I do know this: Saab is now on my list of future cars to want. The car didn't sell.

Wow, how the hell does a person not notice a huge, white and chrome classic car on the road? Glad you and the car are OK. As for the divorce, I'm sorry to hear it man, best of luck, just be happy and make sure your daughter is well taken care of.

It is pretty nice, people on here like to call it crap because it's not a GM product..if this were in the Aura they'd probably praise it. It's nice, with soft materials where tehy should be...and the design is pretty cool. Too bad about the Breeze, but good luck with the Sebring and your dad's next car (I hope he goes for an Avenger :AH-HA_wink: ) Get pics if/when you get the cars!

I'd like to get a motorcycle at some point...they're awesome..plus they get like 70mpg...eat that Prius!
