It looks like they took the previous Sonata and gave it new headlights. Bleh.

Hey, I remember this thing. Only goes forward straight and reverse steering one way. I had an Ferrari F40 version without the Rat Shack brand.

Have a look B) http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...id=53417&st=0&# Sorry to hijack the thread for promotions, but the Member Showcase's traffic is just too low :P

My car's too small altogether, no power goodies except for the locks, and has the fuel economy of a V6, minus the power. That's why I'm dumping it :P Well, for my G6, since I'm getting nearly everything, so I'm happy with it. The only thing I want is a manual transmission (although I still don't know how to drive it).

Is this normal? Sometimes the CD won't read properly when the weather is cold, like around -6 or 7 degrees Celsius. It started to do this recently. The manual only mentions when it's too hot it won't play.

Happy Birthday!

Update. The dealer did screw up my order. Now the saleslady is helping to fight for a free upgrade to a V6, since it was a problem on their side.

Utility vehicles with Ford Engines?

A pushback... could it mean a possible canning for the Lambda?

Probably they mean your local neighbourhood's rice boy street racing league sponsored by Honda and (Some name brand healthcare product) Crutches and Wheelchairs.

Wow... that was quick...

As mentioned above, financing for me will be hell compared to this. So my only option is to ask my parents. However, for them to pay, they actually need to send cash from Hong Kong, i.e. Hong Kong Dollars. Converting them to Canadian will means I will lose a whole chunk compared to when we converted to Hong Kong. So this way if I lease it, it is actually less money (for me). And plus, the '05 G6 is just horrendous compared to the '06. Just the steering wheel makes me puke. And two, '05 doesn't have a 4-cylinder. I'm used to a 4-cylinder car. Also, saying people who buy new are suckers is a bad insult :AH-HA_wink:

This sports coupe is technically dead, since the manufacturer is a while ago (quite a while in fact). But up till today it's still being built in small volumes. At one point it has a Corvette Engine. What car is this?

My friend (say my sister's) is actually fine with being the co-lessee, he's just worried about the insurance part. I figured that I can sort that out. But again, I need to yell at the dealer for the car itself...

I figured out what was going on with the insurance. Apparently it's the MIC agent who wants to rip more money out of me by claiming that the co-lessee must be insured. Apparently that's not the case because I don't even live with the co-lessee. The co-lessee is only there to help my credit go through, and does not necessarily have to be the driver, as confirmed by my friends and the dealer business manager. As for why the co-lessee, not that I have bad credit (in fact I have active credit cards which are always paid in full and never overdue), just that GMAC isn't trusting my co-op income. They think that as a university student I can't afford the car. This is sort of understandable, because apparently credit is a big fuss over here in Canada. When we first came back to Canada in 2002 after the emigration back to Hong Kong in 1997. My mom's credit didn't go through, even when she wanted to activate a cell phone with Rogers, because her credit record is completely blank. But the biggest problem right now isn't those. The dealer doesn't have the car I paid deposit, although they claimed they did two weeks ago. I somehow know what was going on, they made a mistake on their side when they told me the car was available. But at this moment it's still my personal hypothesis, so I need to confirm that. If it's true, I need to renegotiate with them.

You know those surveys that maufacturers send you after you buy a car, and every time the dealer will pull out this card and tell you for a certain question about the dealership, they ask you to answer to be "Completely Satisfied" and claims it's very important, what exactly does that do to a dealership if you don't answer the "Completely Satisfied"? Just out of my curiosity.

I've been doing that for quite a few years already, but I don't know why they still want a co-lessee.

From this angle it looks like a Malibu crossed with an ES. I guess it's just not the best angle for this car.

I don't know if this is coincidence or not. I called the dealer this morning, they said that for some reason the car that I am asking them to get is taken by another dealer and sold. They are locating another one for me, and my lease application is on hold. So I either have the option of getting my deposit back or to rethink my finances.

As in clay? I guess it has been gone over a few times, some of the stuff on the concept is just not practical for manufacturing and use.

That's the problem. Leasing it under their name won't work. They're both in Hong Kong, and GMAC won't let their credit go through, despite having an active account. And plus, I'm getting the student bonus, so the car must be under my name. Although my parents actually meant they will cash purchase the car instead, but I feel very bad that I need them to throw a big chunk of money out.

It's not like I can't pay for it, I did my math for a few years already. I can afford my tuition and paying for my car at the same time. It's only GMAC who's not trusting me. My parents offered me a few times to pay for my car and paying them back. I don't know, but I feel wierd. It's like ever since I entered university/co-op and start paying for everything, I don't feel like asking anyone for money anymore, especially my parents. I'm all alone in Canada, and I just want my parents to have a peace of mind that I can handle stuff on my own, not a burden, and that I am "performing".

I don't know, but it's like getting my G6 is just more trouble than ever. First it was my Cavalier, then money issues, and now insurance. First, GMAC wanted a co-lessee. I found one, and now the insurance company wants me to insure my co-lessee as well. Now my co-lessee feels puzzled that I might harm his driving record, and by the sound of things, he seems to want to back out, leaving me in the cold. Sort of understand what my co-lessee is worried about. I heard is that in the event that if the car has an accident, ALL insured drivers on that car will be considered having an accident on their record. That's sort of what happened to my ma back then when my sister wrecked our Lumina. It was reported to the insurance company, and we didn't know about that accident. When we leased the Cavalier, our first policy was cancelled due to "non-disclosure" of this, and we were put onto a medium-risk company. Hence it rendered my ma's driving record bad. Maybe I should just give up my deposit on the G6 and learn my lesson from it. I don't really want to go to my parents. That will just make me look really stupid, because I wanted to reduce my parent's load on the car payments and now I'm asking them for money at the end of the day. I don't know what I should do. Is driving a new car just really a fantasy for me, a dream that will never come true?... sigh :(

I can see the 4-speed being replaced by upcoming 6-speed, just don't know when. Saab has it already.
