Intrepidation

Eh, not my style but the concept is cool.

I disagree about blaming video games/TV. I find tha a lot of people just use these as scapegoats so they don't have to take responsibility for their own mistakes. Granted, at a younger age it is important to moderate what your children watch and can play until their minds are more developed and they have a better sense of morals and common sense. Parents can use parental controls on the TV, and they can not get the violent game for their 4 year old. When it comes to teens and so on, who should have an understanding of the difference between what's real and what's not, and are old enough to understand what's acceptible real world behavior and what's not, it's their fault for being rude, disrespectful, violent, and so on. If they can't tell the difference between a game or reality, or can't put the controller down and walk away when they get irritated at it, or try to emulate stupid things they see on TV...it's their own stupid fault. Certainly there can be some influence, but it's not the determining factor. That being said, I do agree that their a lot of factors that can influence how a child will turn out. Good parenting, neighborhood, school, and yes TV and video games. The biggest influence I believe is the parents and the environment. Poor parenting and a bad neighorhood will lead to trouble. Good parenting that teaches the child respect and he ability to desern good from bad/ right from wrong. Once we become old enough to understand these things, we have no one to blame but ourselves for our actions. The problem hese days isn't just a lack of respect, but a lack of responsibility and wanting to blame everyone else for our problems.

I've been wondering that myself

This would be a great car for those GTI commercials. "Time to unpimp zuh auto." I do like those wheels though...everything else is lame/stupid. -- Well NOS, you can add the tC to the recall list

I have an alternative to your sig anio: "God loves stupid people, that's why he made so many."

I close my doors fairly hard. Why? Why not? As long as they don't sound like tin foil (like a Corollas do) they should be more than able to handle a healthy shut.

Like doing what Toyota does...and Honda and Nissan. I love the integrated center stack.

Behold the suckage

Not that recent

Funny that Dodge's crosshair grill isn't mentioned in the grill section. That's pretty damned distinctive if you ask me.

NO! it should be english...god this sorta thing pisses me off. Ok That's my opinion, next thread.

Damn, look at the Charger sales... If all DCX's vehicles were as good as the LX's...they wouldn't have a problem. Come to think of it, DCX needs a better crossover to compete with the Lambadas.

Yup, it looks light years better...amazing what a good nose job will do. The LX cars still sell well, but the new minivans and teh Avenger can't come soon enough. The Nitro will help but from what TCC reported, the handling isn't great...maybe in R/T form but that's it. DCX's problem is that they were too slow to revamp their car lineup outside the LX cars, and that interior materials have been crappy lately. They neeed to cut Durango production way back, and the Dakota too...does that even sell well? Their other problem is stupid designs/cars that amek it to production. Case in point: the Compass. And teh Sebring isn't exactly pretty.

Aand as for the Neon's reliablity, my friend's mother has a 2000 Neon which she bought new, and has only had to take the car in for regular service (oil, brakes, etc.) Not a single problem on that car.

The fuel econmy is unimpressive, especially since our `94 Prizm can get at least 40 mpg on the highway, loaded to the gills no less. Larger wheels/wheel well cutouts would help the car a lot...but it does look a bit short, which explains the legroom issues they had. That would be a dealbreaker for me, since I'm pretty tall. The interior looks great but at the same time so does the Fit's. While it does seem a little bias, they do make good points. Slowest in class, low power, not so great fuel economy, below average bakes, bad cupholder placement, and below average legroom does not a class leader make. If I were in the market I'd probably concider a Fit... 5 speed manual or auto, sporty character, decent looks (though bland), nice interior, very space efficient.

I've always liked/respected the Land Cruiser, while always hating the Sequoia. It looks pretty similar to the current one.

Sweetness

Meh, NASCAR sucks anyway...watching a bunch of look-alike cars going in circles for several hours isn't my idea of fun and excitement. Now Rally racing...that's cool.

when did Buickman get Banned? I missed that

Like the Monte Carlo

Wow nothing like listening to a bunch of rednecks watching opick-ups. They were immpressive videos...but I like the Ram better still...that Silver one they tested looked sweet.

I've never liked Dells, even the deskltops have issues and strange glitches from my experience. Me...I'm getting ready to build a new desktop

But that exterior...even the COmpass ain't that bad

Silver Ram SRT-10...omg hotness My gf saw a Smart Fortwo
