All-new small car, read: HOLDEN CRUZE.

The side profile really reminds me of a M-Class the more I look at it. The character line running down to the front flaring on the fender is a similar element, as is the fender flaring itself. But what really is the most alike would be the shape of the c-pillar and rear side glass.

A very nice design. Some exterior elements remind me of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class. Not a bad thing, honestly. And the interior is reasonably pleasant as well.

I do not support the plaintiff in this particular case. For starters, the injuries do not sound as if they could be caused by a swift tug to the arm. How could tugging on someone's arm cause a lacerated liver, for example? Sounds like an injury that could be inflicted by the seatbelt to me. And I've been tugged by the arm plenty of times before, and really hard too, and as far as I know my limbs are fully functional.

Yes, and please sticky the results thread. Thanks Camino.

Everyone, for some reason, Mr. Gizhost's chop was not among those in the voting thread. Not wanting to make Gizhost feel as if his efforts were in vain, we have extended our apologies to him and we would like to take this opportunity to give him an honorable mention in this post. Thank you so much for entering Gizhost and we hope that this error does not deter you from creating any future entries.

Deadline extended to the end of the month. Voting will be underway in January.

What is there to worry about? Seriously.

+1

Be afraid. Very, very afraid. Bahahahahahahaha!

I've already posted the results for the last Photoshop competition. The sketching competition is still open, though. Maybe we should extend the deadline until the end of the month and let the voting run next month?

I'm going ahead and shutting this down, even though I can't lock the thread. Results coming in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ...

And the winners are... 1st Place Dodgefan (19 pts) 2nd & 3rd Place MRDETROITMETAL (16 pts) Congratulations to Dodgefan for another victory in our Choppin' Competitions with his modified Buick Riviera concept! Stay tuned for the next Competition ... :wink:

Don't want to sound, ya know, greedy ... but I think we're going to need a little yes?

Same $h!, different thread. It's vanilla now.

"And All That Could Have Been" has to be one of my favorite songs from NIN. I've found such an incredible amount of personal meaning in the lyrics. When I had first listened to it at someone else's house, I recall it being the first time in a long time I had ever listened to a song and it's lyrics and really felt as if the song was speaking directly to me.

That's a very nice Syclone. If I didn't find a regular cab truck completely useless to me, I would be considering one of those as well. Now the Typhoon, though ... that's another story.

Consider Alpha's substantially lighter weight, and the 3.0L looks pretty enticing. The 3.6L would be used in mid-level models. :AH-HA_wink:

What to replace the Sonoma with ... hmmm ... http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/953009909.html http://lexington.craigslist.org/ctd/959443844.html http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/961876873.html http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/962837096.html http://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/936370571.html http://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/942771317.html http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/963706345.html http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/963592794.html http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/963386325.html Much like myself, my options are slightly bi-polar (although admittedly I am leaning towards seriously buying a 3er or 5er). In any case, when I do finally purchase the replacement for my truck, it will not cost too much. I have to keep paying for the Cutlass and the money I've used to fix it. I know for a fact the Sonoma will not suffice to get me through my four years of college. Something new on it breaks just about every other week and I've grown tired of repairing it. The repair list grows larger and longer constantly it seems. I mean, the engine and transmission are mostly fine, but interior bits and pieces are breaking, cracking, and falling off, and other people have beat the exterior to $h!. The gauges sometimes work, sometimes they don't. I'm almost convinced that the driver's side door, which has been repaired once already, is going to fall off of the hinges right as I'm driving down the interstate.

I believe we need a little love for NIN in here, just because I said so.

The 3.0L sounds like a good base engine for an Alpha Camaro, I think.

I'll just go ahead and say that I think it would be nice for us to take turns handling all aspects of the artist showcase forums. PM me with your thoughts Dodgefan.

Well, I most certainly wouldn't mind doing it. Just choose if you guys would rather have Dodgefan or me take control of things. I know I would figure out a way to overhaul the judging, though.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Elantra either. It's an epitome of very bad styling cues taken from a host of indifferently designed cars. But, as Dodgefan said, to each his own. If I were in the market for a compact car, either the Mazda 3 5-door or the Saturn Astra 3-door would be calling my name, in black and with a manual transmission of course. (The Cobalt SS Turbo would be on that list too, if the price is right.) I'm not really much for new cars, or front-drive cars, but I do appreciate a fun-to-drive small car and wouldn't totally write one off of my list, if I could buy it exactly the way I want it.

I had begun to wonder what was going on with you, PCS. Good to hear everything is all sound. +1
