I don't see why not. This car would probably start in the high teens, making it a good head-on competitor to the Accord, especially if they offer it with the 5spd.

J/K :P :lol: :) Happy birthday, Fly. Have a great day. Here's a little Flybrian montage, to celebrate the big 2-1:

It almost looks like the Trailblazer is "courting" the Corvette.

I can't believe this discussion has gone on for this long without a mention of this:

Happy Birthday Toni.

I believe the Atlas engines, as they are now, are too tall for use in a car. The block would have to be made shorter, though the displacement might be made up by boring out the cyliinders.

Well, at least Dodge proved they can build a car without resorting to using the Ram's grille. That's about all the positivty you're going to get out of me regarding this Challenger. Have all our designers lost every last bit of creativity, that we have to resort to recycling 35 year old designs? I really hope this doesn't seal the deal that any Camaro we get is going to be 1969 Part Deux, because I'll say right off the bat that I won't buy one. On the plus side Scott Settlemire has said that the supposed concept will pull from all previous Camaro designs, and Gm has a knack of doing heritage cues right (Corvette, 4th gen Camaro, arguably, the Monte)

I woulds say there's no one thing that attracts me. It's more in how the entire package is put together. By the time I'm done you'll know why I haven't found anyone yet: Eyes: I'm not particularly attracted to any particular color, but it's more in the way that they light up. You can tell a lot about a person just by watching their eyes. hair: Most times, I go for shoulder-length or longer, though I'l admit I'm a sucker for a girl who has long hair yet wears it "up" sometimes. It could be brown, blonde, red...any color, as long as it's what God gave them. Oh yeah, and it should smell nice. face: Kinda hard to describe specifics, just that I go for "cute" rather than "supermodel". One requirement...no big noses. body(neck and below): Same as face: cute over supermodel That's it for the physical stuff. I really have to get my thoughts together for what I want in a woman's mind.

Alison Krauss is awesome. I would have to put her in the top three female voices out there. One of these days I'm going to break down and get a CD of hers.

Busy reaching for a 7-up (his favorite drink), Steve doesn't notice his wife and his brother mocking his "anatomy".

BV....coooome and geeeettt it!

Well, it doesn't have that already-been-in-an-accident look like the current Santa Fe, so it's quite an improvement. Still, there is something odd about it.

Thanks for the new wallpaper :drool:

When it comes to recommending cars, I smile and say "Ooooh, that's nice" no matter what they pick. I find that in most cases, people aren't looking for a recommendation...they just want to have someone validate a choice they've already made. I know it's against what I should do (and want to do), but I'm the type of person that really hates it when I say something and it goes in one ear and out the other. In your situation, how about whipping out (or at least mentioning) the JD Power reports on quality and showing them all the GM makes that appear at or near the top of the list.

I wonder if it's this.

As far as the photography goes, all of them are great....excellent balance of lighting and shadows. As for the subject matter, number five is my favorite.

Sly really enjoyed reading about your adventures last weekend. Sounds like you had a blast. I've always wanted to do something like that...I think a cross-country road trip is somewhere in my future.

Remember when I made this for Satty, back on the old C&G when he was saturnfan:

Give me two rows of seats, RWD, V8, and a drop top, for < $30K, and I'll sign whatever you shove under my nose.

I know I've been where you are before. Being depressed isn't fun, and it's an uphill battle to overcome it on your own sometimes. Not having a car during this time is really tough...I understand - I had no car until I was 18. It must be even worse to have one (and all the freedom that comes with it) and then lose it, like you did. Understand that you do have the means to put your car situation to rest, the only thing you need to do is get the ball rolling. You know what you need to do, just go ahead and do it. Your situation at school is very important and believe it or not has an effect on the rest of your life. You're probably in your junior or senior year, which are usually at many colleges reference when reviewing applicants. Now's the time to pull up your bootstraps and give them the best of what BV has to offer. Your seeming inability to pay attention could very well be tied to the Diet Pepsi. The excessive caffeine is overstimulating your body and mind. Your body doesn't want to sit still, and your brain can't focus on any one thing. What's worse, your depression *could* just be the result of coming down from a caffeine high. After running at Mach 5 under the influence of caffeine for so long, your body can get tired and "crash". I know the feeling from being on diet pills that had caffeine in them (unbeknownst to me). Depression is as much a physical condition as it is a mental state. If you do dump the Diet Pepsi, don't go cold turkey. Drink less and less over time. When getting rid of a "bad" habit it is always helpful to replace it with a "good" habit. Instead of drinking Diet Pepsi, drink some juice or water. Instead of chocolate, have some fruit (raisins, blueberries, and strawberries are great for fruit-newbies, and clementines are in season...yummy). This might sound weird to you, but put it this way: should you decide to go to a doctor, your best bet is to have a body that's working as it was designed to, without the help of drugs like caffeine. If I may throw some advice to you that you may or may not want to listen to, why not scour your local churches for youth groups? Based on the one run out of my church, it's not what you're probably thinking. They're usually full of teenagers much like yourself (or much worse) who hang out every so often to play sports, arcade games, go on camping trips, help each other with homework....you name it. Plus, there's usually a youth pastor there that shares the Bible with you in a way that'll make the words jump off the page to you. In most cases you don't have to be an active church member to join. I realize this is a bit long and preachy, but I hope at least one sentence helps you in some way.

Don't you think you're being a tad harsh??? Me neither :P

Because I don't brag about it enough, here's my primary car:
