My modem has been freezing up and rebooting, causing my connection to cut in and out... Made in China.

Ebay.

BV has blown alot of money on a lot of things recently.

I'm going to be selling my Golf soon.......................... I think it might be perfect.

On a related note, thanks to the tipping residents of Dubois, my delivery job has just paid for my CRX after 3 months.

Having finally explored a new Elantra, I'm not a fan. It's aesthetically challenged in my opinion. It's aggressive, but I can't help but feel its smiling at me. Everything is exaggerated and stretched. I'm sure it will find its own niche in the market, but I don't see it resonating as well with customers as the Sonata seems to (despite some of C&G's opinions). Leaving design on the table, it seems to be fairly competent as far as price and features go. It was equally roomy up front as the Cruze, maybe a hair moreso in the back (though the Jetta wins the rear leg room contest). Quality was better in some respects, though the Cruze has better visual presence inside. I thoroughly enjoyed the climate controls, however. Very ergonomic design and easily my favorite feature the new Elantra offers.

Essentially. I had a better experience with Canon than I have Nikon in the past.

After two years with my Canon Powershot SX10is, I've long outgrown it. It's time to upgrade and my bank account is now missing about $1200. I've decided upon a Canon Eos 60D. I'm hoping it gets here by the end of the week.

If you don't like a white Accord.... how about a white CRX? Mine hasn't broke yet, if that counts for anything.

I'm pretty sure I know what I want... I just need to find it now.

Good question.

It's almost like you never left.

This probably goes without saying, but my name is in there... somewhere.

The Civics aren't bad.

Camino and Balthazar are missing out...

None of the Buicks really appeal to me.

They're probably still expensive, though I'd imagine the Magneride shocks would still be twice the cost. They use these in Ferrari's and Audi's in addition to the late-model STS's and Corvettes. I don't mind giving the extra attention, I'm just trying to find out if it's not going to be lost cause. I don't want to give all that extra attention aaaannnnd have everything fail on me. I like the LSS, but I'm looking at newer vehicles. It's built upon the previous generation bodystyle and is a little dated. I like the newer designs of the final Bonneville, Aurora, and Seville, in addition to other newer designs like the 300M. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of the final Grand Prix's design as much, but the Series-III Supercharged 3800 along with the Comp-G package is appealing. It's probably the only W-Body I'd consider.

JD Power and MSN autos paint a fairly good picture of the Seville, reliability wise. Car Survey gives a little more insight into problems with most people having a whole lot of problems or hardly any at all. The biggest constants being reoccurring vibration issues and oil usage. There was some mention of a transmission solenoid, as well. This puts me in an either-or sort of mindset. I really enjoyed the car from my test drive and its a great deal at $4k after tax and tags. I need to take an extended test drive to really feel it out, though. In the meantime, I need to get a carfax for it. Also, I could really stand to have someone look over it who knows more about these cars than I do. How many of you guys think it's a worthwhile purchase? On another note, I found this on Ebay: Clicky. Seems as if that price is in addition to the down payment mentioned, which puts it in the 'more than I'd want to spend on a compulsive purchase' category. This is also this one on Autotrader: Clicky that Dodgefan will like. What I don't like, though, is that the engine was replaced and I'd rather not go through a Private owner. It's also essentially in the same category as above.

Though, is the supercharged 3800 that much better than either the Shortstar or Northstar?

Meh, I'd rather not. Those are pursuing a different mission. Wouldn't mind an Aurora or Bonneville, though.

Penis. So, back to the STS. What all should I look for to determine if it would be a worthwhile purchase? It doesn't have Magnaride, so I don't have to worry about that specific expense. Anything beyond headgasket issues for the Northstar? The oil wasn't milky and it seemed to run and drive pretty good. I assume there's going to be a good number of parts shared with the G-Bodies?

BV bought his Golf in New Jersey.

2000. Actually, I probably would.

Isuzu is out due to transmission problems, however..... $4k out the door, 82k, fully loaded STS. I'm not too familiar with the reliability on these... namely with the Northstar. Any input?

108k. Yes, it's essentially an ancient Rodeo underneath with the engine and drivetrain from the also ancient Trooper. To be honest, if the history report checks out and all the required service has been taken care of, I'm not terribly sure how I'll say 'no'. For the price, it's alot of vehicle and in great shape.
