  1. I've never had any luck with growing facial hair... I've tried growing a goatee/van dyke but it never gets full enough... though I can grow a strange Amish-style neck beard. I've been going bald since my early 20s, gray since my late 20s... I started shaving my head at 30 (my first time was when I was drunk--never shave your head after drinking 1/2 bottle of Gray Goose).
  2. Europe's not getting Zetas, but that's understandable given their high fuel costs... Zeta at 4000lbs would be lightweight in the US, the land of 6000lb SUVs and trucks and cheap gas...
  3. You left your eyebrows? I re-shaved my head over the weekend...(have to do it every couple weeks to maintain it).
  4. So if a new coupe is coming for '08, a new sedan is also? Haven't seen anything posted about a new Accord sedan..
  5. Those were neat cars...a friend of mine used to have a white one...he traded it on an Audi S4 back around 2001.
  6. Ok, and you know everything thing about the car market? What are your qualifications? Buying an Aztek doesn't count..
  7. I only floor it when going up/down a ramp onto the freeway... Otherwise, I'm usually at the speed limit or 5 mph over, depending on weather/traffic conditions...
  8. Looks great..I love the dark wheels with the red paint. I wonder if it will be available with a normal roof w/ sunroof.
  9. Heh-heh... those power sliding doors on some vans are pretty slick, though... one of my coworkers has a Windstar Limited...it's easy to pile in and out of to when doing the lunch run...
  10. I don't need 500hp.... 250-300 is plenty enough...the G35 and 3-series are good examples of enthusiast RWD sport sedans that sell well... GM could do well with a mass-market RWD model...not everyone wants to be a generic FWD-driving sheep...
  11. An H4 that is Wrangler-like could be very nice... but an H4 pattered after the Compass, not so...
  12. Yeah, and the line 'The H3’s short nose precludes most V6 installations' makes no sense--a V6 is shorter than a V8 or the I-5...
  13. 9 years in Great Lakes snow winters (Cleveland/Akron area, Ann Arbor, Mi, Chicago) 6 of those years with '80s RWD cars with snow tires, 3 with an '80s 4x4 SUV 10 years in Colorado Front Range winters, all with 4x4 SUVs. Never had the need for FWD.
  14. I can't even find the '07 GC diesel mentioned on Jeep's website. I've thought an '08 GC with the diesel would make a great upgrade from my '00 GC...
  15. We get plenty of snow here, but I wouldn't drive FWD. 4WD SUV (which is in 2WD RWD most of the time) for the daily driver, RWD cars for fun works for me..
  16. The T-bird looked odd in profile, I thought..it's got a big cab-forward style windshield resulting in a rather short nose, but a long deck, and the nose is taller than the rear (the body tapers front to back in profile)...
  17. I'd like to have seen Ford build that Lincoln convertible. I had a Thunderbird as a rental a couple of years ago, it was a pretty nice car..
  18. A Cutlass Supreme convertible would be interesting to update with the 5.3 V8 or a supercharged 3800. A friend of mine has a red w/ white interior '94 Supreme convertible (along with an '06 GTO and 6 '67-71 GTOs), it's a fun summer car..
  19. I think the sedans could have gone FWD but the coupes stayed RWD, like the Thunderbird and Cougar did thru '96.... alas, regardless of FWD vs RWD, the old 'personal luxury' coupe market that Monte Carlo/Grand Prix/Cutlass Supreme/Regal occupied has died out over the last decade.
  20. I like the styling...very wagon like, a nice change from SUV-wannabe crossovers and minivans. I like the creases down the sides and the taillgate trim.... clean interior design. I think it could do well for Ford.
  21. True enough... but the GM 10 coupes were no great improvement over the G's, IMHO...the wierd beer-tap door handles, the wierd seatbelts (attached to the doors), ugly interiors, wierd proportions, etc.
  22. Yes..I was surprised how many Jeeps I saw in Italy when I was there a few years ago...so many dark blue Grand Cherokees that looked like mine. They looked huge in Rome parked amongst Fiats and other small European hatchbacks.
  23. Yeah, I can barely remember the RWD G sedans and wagons... it's only the coupes I remember--MC,GP,Cutlass Supreme, Regal.
  24. Yeah...beureaucrats can't think outside the box.
  25. Sounds like the testing equipment isn't compatible with hybrids.
