A Horse With No Name

Good news indeed. They should sell a lot of these. Now lets see if they bring it out in the Rabbit.

Agree with the diesel part, but the Patriot just needs to die. Chris

It could fine a very nice home in my garage, under a very nice warm car cover. Seeing this car in B5 blue is enough to make me want one badly.... Chris

...and CaddyC, you are IMHO correct, the G6 also looks better than the Altima. Chris

...IMHO it's actually much worse looking. In person the lines and proportions of the Nissan are all wrong. Chris

Ditto on the Nylabones. Chris

E85 may indeed be the wave of the future. In some places in Brazil, they've got a ratio of 8 gallons of ethanol for every gallon of dino juice they put in. Plus look at all of the open wheel drivers that are Brazillian. Ya just gotta love the Brazillians... chris

When I was a kid there was an entire large (400+) car junkyard in my home town all filled with 50's cars. One day my dad and I drove by (think I was 8 or nine so this would be like about 1972) and they had all been crushed, every single one of them. When I was in high school and getting parts for my Chevelle, I counted 9 (yes nine!) SS396 Chevelles in various states of disrepair. I also bought parts from a guy who took a 67 SS396 and put it on a Blazer frame and made a 4WD out of it. The colector cars of tomorrow are indeed in danger today. sadly, this is why I believe tales told to me of Packards, Cadillacs, and dusenbergs rotting in salvage yards in the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Gonna be hard to watch that Shadow go, isn't it DF? Sounds like when you graduate you need to buy a nice Charger SRT8 in its memory. Chris

Great place to go and hunt, and you can see the stars at night. Had a friend who used to live in Sundance, Wyoming. Actually think it would be cool to go there and see a rodeo or two. But I would need to rent a Chevrolet pickemup to go there. I would be laughed out of the state with any of my current drivers! Chris

Obama may actually be a damned good president. Glad to see you here after your departure. Chris

Maybe Fred Phelps will burn a Camaro in front of his church in response... Chris

Tesla Roadster, anyone? There will be fun cars in the future, they will just take a very different form from the cars of today. Or maybe I'll just switch to motorcycles...my wife would kill me before the bike would.... Chris

Keep us posted. There is a nice dark blue mid 80's Cadillac 4 door near me that seems really clean, but I don't like the color.

Seriously, with the smart car out I'd bet that we will see some interesting variations on "city cars." This might actually work out to be a good idea for a city car in a small European city. However, it would suck major ass to drive that car across Wyoming. Chris

Actually one of the most interesting crash tests I ever saw was a fighter jet that went into a concrete wall. Since it was travelling at 500MPH it didn't fare too well. Chris

Actually this is why I like small cars in a way. Getting out of an accident is better than surviving one, and being able to react quickly has saved my sorry butt on many occasions.... Chris

What Pontiac Model was named in honor of the guy who set several records racing/testing Pontiacs? Please name the Driver and the Car. Hint- was one of the longest running Pontiac name plates. Chris

Same as the Bananna boat, wish there were more of these cars around... Chris

Even those of us here who lust after say, a GTI Volkswagen or a MINI lust after the bananna boat. Just wish I could still find these cars in any kind of shape here in the midwest. Usually the resemble the Titanic when you go to check them out in person. I'm impressed with your ability to car shop, and also your desire to remain debt free. Chris

...and then these MORONS berate GM for building a low quality automobile and buy a Toyota... Chris

Girl

Ditto, congrats on what you do as a car nut... Chris

GM automatics are usually great... Chris
