  1. I didn't warn you specifically for pictures. It was about a link embedded in the picture of one of your sigs that led to a very pornographic site. I really don't have anymore to say to that as you admitted such a link could've existed in your sig.
  2. I can't put alot of trust in a magazine that issues statements about its November issue in September.
  3. So I should spend over markup for psychological reasons? Riiiiight. The truth is, most people will not benefit from hybrids, especially those trading in a newer vehicle for one. It makes more sense to pay off that vehicle and purchase a few-year-old 5-speed econobox for commuting.
  4. I say put it in because people buy it. I see no need for it. I like getting lost - its how you explore and find new things.
  5. I just want to spool one up in person.
  6. Ass-tastic. Where's Reg? I'm anxious to hear some "Well, the 1998 Buick Signia looked like shit" comments.
  7. 1977 Chrysler LeBaron Turbine. Looked a lot like a Magnum with a mid-70s Imperial grille. It forcasted the look of the '81-83 Imperial LeBaron. As far as it being the most interesting, meh. It was the latest and greatest (and last) of Chrysler turbine technology, but it was mainly DoE-funded and Chrysler couldn't make it if they wanted since they were loosing money hand-over-fist at that time. The 'original' '63 Turbine is far more significant because it was roadable (loaned out to about 200 families I believe), really showcased the realistic technology to the public, and was clearly a product of alot of optimism regarding the turbine car. Turbines are smooth as hell, by the way, and would make the most "sophisticated" Honda or Lexus powerplants seem like they were made by Briggs & Stratton. Also, turbines can burn virtually any combustable liquid - gas, diesel, jet fuel, perfume. The best webpage about the Turbine
  8. Yes, it was the CTS.
  9. Still looks French, which is bad enough. Nice Guess-What-You-Couldn't-Afford coverplates on the steering wheel.
  10. Flybrian

    Hyundai

    Yeah. The Sonata. What a family look.
  11. *Insert 1997 pop culture reference here*
  12. If its not a BMW, its crap. "The new Dodge Sprinter is a fine utility beast, but it can't hold the corners like a 325i." That, and my fav bullshit phrase, 'Brand DNA.'
  13. Awesome to see someone cherish a car so much.
  14. Words to live by for GM's Dearborn buddy. Seriously. Its probably on a plaque somewhere for them.
  15. What's up, Blueovalman? Back again?
  16. We've already had discussions about the porn link embedded in your signature. If you'd like to discuss it further...
  17. You both can go straight to hell - drop down, sixth ring, cook. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif
  18. At some point in time, I will have a Lucerne and a DTS, therefore completing my G-body fourfecta.
  19. Fuel tank location making it acceptable for the US market without murdering the cargo space?
  20. I didn't post porn in mine.
  21. I jacked a Corolla and its the last part I have to sell. No, I just do. Long story.
  22. I see a Fiero every day...on blocks. Yes, I'm serious.
  23. Again, this just remidies the Ram's traditional lack of second-row seating space.
  24. It wasn't a potshot. A potshot would be: 5) Mitsu cars suck balls. You admit yourself that its a fact. If I were comparing GM to Mitsubishi and called upon Mitsu's lame gimmicks without saying a thing about GM's then, yes, I would be hypocritical. You also admit yourself that while none of Mitsubishi's gimmicks worked, several of GM's has. In that same vein - depending on how things pan out over the next year - the latest Employee Pricing program could be viewed as an excellent though belated segue from the vicious cycle of monster incentives to a more reasonable pricing structure. GM sales will continue to increase in many sectors (profitability is another, more complex story). You can name-call Mitsubishi buyers (thereby indicting yourself as lameass?), but the simple fact remains that the program failed. And even if my fifth point were conceded, the other four remain largely valid. Add to them the fact that the Japanese core of Mitsubishi exists on shaky grounds in many ways and the fact that they had/have one of the most out-of-touch and duplicative lineups of any brand. As far as the warranty deal, yeah sorta. Raider: 5/60 bumper-to-bumper, 7/100 corrosion Dakota: 3/36 bumper-to-bumper, 7/70 powertrain, 5/100 corrosion
