Out of state: NYC. I love Times Square. In state: Pittsburgh is fun.

I love how any thread can turn into a FWD vs. RWD argument... Anyways... Pretty much.

No problem. I was googling for random pictures and one brought me that article on Motor Trend's website. If you search, you can probably find more articles. I saw there was also a long term test of both the Millenia and the Aurora.

I was bored and came across this MT comparison from the mid '90s. Found it to be an interesting read and brings back some memories of the the good ole' days. Too bad Flybrian isn't around.

It's sort of underwhelming.

My experiences probably don't count. What about the opposite sex?

When I ordered my floor mats off ebay, UPS delivered it to my neighbors.

You need an older one... Like, say, an MKIII.

Happy bitchday, Chris! Errr... I mean boithday! No, wait... birthday. There we go, I think I got it right that time.

Odd, that doesn't sound like variety at all. That sounds like communism.

Starbucks = Yummy.

I was thinking the same thing. The gauge 'pod' is the only thing I find interesting. The exterior is really busy.

I'm in the same boat. I stopped coming around C&G for GM long ago... with all the internal politics, poor management, overrated spokespersons, and a lack of product that's been promised and rumored, but never seen. I only come around because of the members here. GM interests me about as much as the opposite sex.

Both aren't very attractive, but the Matrix is far less appealing. You must be blind.

The GTI's do. They also came in 'Skittles' guise, the rare Harlequin edition. *nods*

I'm entrenched in the VW world of white and blue. That $h! sticks like super glue. It's crazy, let me tell you. Actually, if anything, most of what I would rather have is out of my price range or simply too unrealistic. There are alot of cars I'd love to own more than another MKIII, but they're either too much, their parts are too much, or they might be something that will require more attention than I'm willing to give. I still want to own that '80s Alfa Romeo GTV6... Which isn't going to be a good purchase for me at moment, obviously.

That's pretty much the plan. And yes, the Cutlass isn't mine. I'm looking at this one Jetta I found on Autotrader. It's in Ohio and listed for $4995. The price is a little higher than I would like since it has just a tick under 100k, but it seems to be pretty clean. I'm trying to talk them down a bit. If I can get the price down to $4500, that would be ideal. We shall see. It's a VR6 with the 5spd, basically what I'm looking for in another Jetta. Autotrader - 1996 Jetta GLX

Indeed, I did. I've tried looking for it other times, but I believe it's a gonner.

Indeed, it's not terribly American looking, but I thought it was an interesting concept.

Well, that's gay.

If I upgrade, can I still be the one and only MemberBV? I don't want to lose my group.

I've stopped by my credit union to see about a loan and a $4-5k loan is within my reach. I.E. it's doable. I just need to fill out the application. However, I'm still wondering what my best option is right now. While getting the Cutlass up and running isn't as easy as I'd like it to be, it can be done for probably $500 or so. I don't look forward to having to pay for its gas mileage again either, but it is an option to consider. I could also try for another cheap beater or perhaps a lesser loan of $1-2k for something to get me by until I'm finished parting the Jetta out. Finally, I could go for the full $4-5k and find a true replacement, which I will need to do eventually, regardless. I guess the big question is whether I should take the smalls steps into getting a true replacement or just go for it now since it's feasible. Waiting could possibly fetch something above my current $4-5k comfort zone, as well. I'm leaning towards just going for it considering my aversion to driving another car that will be a headache. Thoughts?
