"Realise" - My Bloody Valentine shoegazin'

Ye ask, ye shall receive. One post smeared with dead 'Bird coming right up: http://www.cheersandgears.com/index.php?s=...st&p=519269

Berea, about 20 minutes south of Lexington. Cinci is just a little over an hour away from here.

To answer an earlier question, my old Firebird was a V6. Offer stands at $350. Just get it out of here!

Thanks Camino. The other dude is a parody ego I think (i.e. FlyBrain, 68Panther). He's too old to be me. Thanks DF. Isn't it better to be sunny-side up than scrambled?

Standard price is $500, but for C&G members, I'll reduce that to $350. Just, please, get it out of my driveway.

Thanks guys!

Race a lawnmower powered by gerbils?

Why yes I do. The front clip's not all there, the doghouse is shot, and it has a broken tie rod end on the driver's side, but the engine did run after the wreck.

Where does this take place at again? I'd be more than happy to donate some spare time to finding a car to take 'round the course. Just tell me the budget.

I allowed the full extent of my rage to be felt on a place outside of C&G. :AH-HA_wink:

Hopefully, in light of such evidence, some folks will pull their heads out of their asses and take those bald-faced lying commercials about polar bears off of my damn TV.

I'm diggin' the white colonnade Cutlass, the gold T/A, the black G-Body Cutlass, and the colonnade Century GS.

As far as receivers go: JVC makes decent receivers. They have one you can buy at Meijer in the $120 range that you can select over 30,000 different backlighting colors with. Red is one. I've tried out a display model of a higher-up JVC at a car audio warehouse before and liked the sound quality quite well. As far as reliability goes, I'm in the dark. Avoid Jensen. I had one in the Sonoma. It was kind of old, but it wasn't so old that it should not be refusing to read CDs anymore. Pioneer makes great stuff too. I've had three Pioneer receivers so far. I had one in the Firebird, which ran around $130 at Sam Walton's Walls of Hell and it had a front USB input for flash drive and complete iPod integration (it even charged it). Sounded great too, even though the speakers in the Firebird didn't match as I later found out. I also have the $100 dollar model from Sam Walton's Walls of Hell in the Cutlass that sounds just as good, although it doesn't have total iPod integration and just an Aux jack. There's an older one in the Regal that also sounds great if you set it to loud. I have never had an issue with them and they work fantastic. I had an Sony Xplod in the Sonoma before the Jensen. Junk, junk, junk. It refused to read CDs as well and it wasn't old either. I'm going to stuff an Alpine in the Buick's dash once I rid myself of the Firebird's carcass. I've heard nothing but great things about Alpine although I haven't owned any of their products. Kenwood has always made good stuff. As with the JVC, the display models I've checked out have had good sound quality. Avoid anything with the Dual brand. Junk. Speakers: Memphis Audio. :AH-HA_wink:

Well except for the roof caving in a few months back, nope. It's still the same.

As far as looks go, I'd also tell you to go for the Renegade package: I couldn't stand the cheeky-ness of the lesser Liberties. It's too damn cute and not enough Jeep. Then again, I'm not certain if the 2.8 diesel was available on the Renegade. I'd also keep your range of what years to buy from 2005 - 2007.

So it seems this girl has won: She's got a mildly cute face but your friends will make fun of her for being so plump. No matter, she makes you happy and can show you a fun time. Who knows? Maybe you can slip some diet pills in her Mickey Ds and she'll slim down. Someday. Knowing how these relationships go, though, you'll eventually get tired of working your way around the teasing and - ahem! - other things and go for a girl who didn't gorge so much at Kountry Kitchen. And this old bag has rightfully lost: Do I really have to go there? Seriously? I don't want to but I will.

Type the years in the searchbar ...

The Sunfire's radio is an easy fix. Wallyworld has a $130 dollar Pioneer receiver with direct iPod integration for $130 and trust me, you'll want someplace to plug an iPod into. Sounds good too (it'll sound like a top-notch Alpine system if you think the Corsica's audio system sounds good). I had one in the Firebird which I swapped out to the Monte. Best inexpensive receiver I've ever bought.

I'm glad both of my cars do not have airbags. I'd rather be killed by some random part in my car rather than killed by some random part in my car intended to save my life. The Firebird was in a left-side, front-end collision at 35-plus mph when a certain someone wrecked it. I wonder why the airbags didn't deploy?

Like DF said, buy a diesel.

In this case, the rational decision is the Sunfire. Although it has more miles, believe me, you'll love the five-speed once you know your way around it. It sounds like a fun car. You'd be crazy not to keep it until you can buy a better car. No deserves the unrelenting punishment of driving a Corsica, one of the most sterile sedans on the planet. They have the panache of a trailer park grandma who has 20-something cats. A Camry looks like Mick Jagger in comparison.
