No wedgie here. I figured I would post something like I did before all the excuses and attempts to marginalize the problem came pouring out rather than after. After all you guys did jump on Toyota's back for a not-so-widespread glass shattering issue. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif

Or pretty much common sense...

Hmmm...

Where's cmattson, now? I won't be saying anything along the lines of "it's just a sunroof deflector" because it's the whole damn sunroof. Perhaps we should look at a few quotes regarding sunroofs on this thread. [quote]Funny how this "airborne debris" seems to be targeting the wind deflector of the Scion tC specifically.[/quote] - RBB [quote]So sad, Toyota appears to be manufacturing poor quality vehicles...[/quote] - Harley Earl [quote]...it is obviously crap flying up and shattering thise deflectors, just like on the... oh yeah, I've never heard of that happening to another make.[/quote] - AAS [quote]who has ever had a windsheild crush under impact? and secondly the windsheild is designed to stay together, not fall apart... if it falls apart that is even worse... ugg Toyota sucks...[/quote] - Newbiewar [quote]As for the wind-deflector itself. Get past the idea of what the part does. Go right to the idea that a part of the car could shower you with glass. Not exactly a pleasant thought, is it?[/quote] - cmattson [quote]Getting showered with glass is a safety issue and IMO, can't be brushed off with "it's just a bug deflector".[/quote] - cmattson

It's a current Stratus.

The liberalism of American culture. It started in the 60's and keeps on going. Liberalism is all about bringing about change and being progressive, trying new things, accepting everyone and all opinions (except ones that differ from the liberal mindset), how there can be no wrong, etc. I'm 18 and there are things that I did 10 years ago (watch TGIF on ABC with my family, for example) that no one does today. Hell, TGIF isn't even popular (is it still on?). In that short amount of time things change and, IMO, for the worst. Nowdays it's family who molds your character. It's what your parents have instilled in you (if they even pay attention to you). Mainstream society used to keep things in check but not anymore. It's shutup by the fringes. Up until high school, I never came home to an empty house. My mom worked around me and my sister. My family always eats dinner together. Without a doubt I'll carry some of those things with me and do them with my kids. Up until high school I rarely new people who were living in a single-parent home. That's all changed now. Sex, drugs and alcoholism are rampant (and I mean rampant) in the 13-18 year old range. You could possibly go even younger than that. Who do I blame for that? Parents. They have control over their kids, they decide whether their 14-year old daughter can dress up like a skank or their 17-year old son can go to some party with no adult supervision, drink and then get in a car. Society looks down upon it but really what can it do? It's criticized as "racist" or "sexist" or "facist" when it speaks out against the unmoral things that happen. The #1 thing that people said when asked why they voted for who they did during the 2004 election was "morality." Now that's been debated and you'll probably debate it on the thread but I think that proves what I'm trying to say. Mainstream America does not agree with abortion, gay marriage, lowering the drinking age, legalizing drugs, leanient sentences against criminals, etc. Various polls have shown the majority of Americans want conservative judges appointed to the two vacancies on the Supreme Court. Why? Take a look at the few assinine rulings made in the past few months and you'll see. My two cents. Let the harrassment begin. Edit: spelling.

I need to get one of these phones, doesn't matter what color. So hot...

I saw my first one today, it was black. I turned to look as I was crossing Chestnut Street in Philly and I noticed it. It kind of surprised me but I really don't know why.

I've grown to really like the coupe's exterior but that's about it. I'd never buy it, though. I couldn't look at that interior day after day.

Taurus-like taillights, G6-like profile.

I don't know Dakota pricing off the top of my head (and I'm too damn tired to look for it) but I sure hope it's cheaper.

Complaining about a 2-minute reduction in break time? :huh: :lol: :rolleyes: <_< :angry: :wacko: :blink: :bs: How about a permanent break? :booyah:

Here's what annoys me about this and other controversial issues: when someone has an opinion that others don't find socially acceptable or agree with, they lash out and start throwing insults around. If someone does not agree with homosexuality, doesn't believe it is natural or wants to live their life by God's word, it's their prerogative and vice-versa. Live and let live.

I think we could all see this coming. IMO, it's always hard to see a brand go, no matter how crappy it may be when it goes out. It's not like brands come and go in the auto industry, they usually have some sort of history. All the better, though.

It may be easier being bisexual for sex/relationship reasons but we're constantly harrassed about being "gays in denial" or "afraid to come out." I like guys and girls equally, there's just something about both that I find fascinating. From cologne/perfume ("Fierce" by Abercrombie and "Curious" by Britney Spears) to hair to strength to feminism (NOT in guys) to mannerisms to beauty...it's all good. To demonstrate my point, I find something really sexy about a woman who wears a suit, and I don't mean in the coke bottle glasses, birds nest hair, secretary kind of way.

Trash is everywhere along the roads and it disgusts me. I couldn't even think of tossing my trash out the window. It's a common sense type of thing, to me, at least. First, if you wouldn't do it to your yard, why do it anywhere else? Second, are you really that lazy?

6 7 This was a pretty good comp, all the entires were good. Though I didn't vote for it, I love how #5 looks like it was painted, it has some weird effect.

I'd take the Jag over the BMW, I admit. IMO, the 7 Series has something the other cars don't. I don't know if it's the look or cachet or what...it's something.

I was thinking that too, frog. I hope the materials are there but even if they're not it still looks amazing.

Damn right, blu. HAHA.

They do all agruably look better but none match the "status" of a 7 Series.

Europe...figures. Why can't people leave certain things alone? Being progressive is not the best thing in the world.

His comments really didn't offend me. I agree with him about people not being born gay but engaging in gay activities anyway. They're horny, women are no where near and their best friend will do over a beer and some football.

I totally agree with you. GM should have moved away from seeing Ford and Chrysler as huge threats a long time ago. Toyota and the Koreans should be their focus now, with an eye still monitoring Ford and DCX.
