    DUDE! Where did you get that sig pic?! WHERE?! WHERE?! WHERE?! Is there a bigger version?
  2. we're just trying to stop you from making a bad decision, that's all. I mean this is going from a bad car to another bad car. It's just not a good idea.
  3. But dodgefan brings up a very good point. You said you wanted a good reliable car, that wasn't like your GA. That BMW you have your heart set on isn't really the perfect choice. BMW's aren't very famous for their reliability. Prestige, yes. Wow factor, yes. Sportiness, yes. Reliablity, absolutely not. Your GA gave you a good means of transportation for a while, and that's great, but I don't think that the Bimmer will last you much longer. In a year or so from now (maybe longer depending on how you treat it), it may occupy the very spot your Grand Am is in right now, in just the same shape. And even if you do take it to a mechanic, service and parts are extremely expensive, just for the fact that it's a BMW. I also should mention that 80's and 90's BMW's are absolute death traps in an accident. I would seriously go for a better used car. Shop around for cheaper things that you know are going to be reliable (A J-Body or shadow will not be reliable, trust me). I realize this'll sound sorta loony coming from me (Suggesting a Ford and all), but if you want a sporty, reliable car, that is good on gasoline, I'd suggest getting one of the last generation Cougars (the little ZX2-based hatchbacks) I still see zillions of them on the road every day, and how many years has it been since they stopped making them? I know it isn't RWD, but they are supposedly reliable and very fuel efficient. this is just a suggestion though (first thing that popped into my head). The RWD thing sort of limits you down. There isn't really much of anything that was made in the past fifteen years that was reliable, RWD, and economical. Is rear-drive really that important? For someone in your position, I'd really just be happy to have a good clean reliable car. If that be the case, look into a Ford Thunderbird SC (here I go with the Fords again), I can't imagine they'd be too great on gas though because they're large, heavy, and supercharged. The LX Thunderbirds have V8's, so you know to steer clear of them if fuel economy is a priority. However, the N/A V6 Thunderbirds could work. I'm not sure of the gas mileage on those things but I don't think they'd be better than any 4-cylinder, less power moving the same amount of weight a V8 could move easily and everything. Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about the Bimmer. There'll be other cars that can serve your purpose a lot better. I'd also ditch that RWD mandate, because it does severly limit your options. Pick up an auto trader and leaf through that a while.

    uhm...Colonel Klink?
  5. Eh, I'll give it a listen.
  6. I like his older stuff, but like the vast majority of rock artists nowadays, I just can't get into his new stuff.
  7. Well, I own 2 GM's, but the Cobalt is the only one that I bought new. The Camaro was a year old (and still under warranty!)
  8. I always used to do that too! Just lean back and let 'er rip...everytime I did that, my dad would let out a sigh and say "that's my boy!" And I always wanted one of those too, but my folks would ever get me one. I think I was probably too big by the time they came out. Damn.

    That's because the sky owes us for all the rain it dumped on us last month.
  10. I've seen two, one in that ugly greyish-blue color, and another one in red. It looked pretty fetching in red, but I can't say I much care for the rear end treatment at all. I'd rather just get the fascia, grilles, and the rockers and leave the spoiler, back bumper and exhaust just the way they are.The grilles are awesome though, I wish they were standard.
  11. Pretty!! Arrival was my second color choice. They look damn good in it too. It's not too light, not to dark, but it's very deep, and in just the right light (that first pic for example), there's a lot of contrast.
  12. I doubt that they're under warranty. I also doubt that they're $80 too, because that's just a rediculous price. Anyway I haven't worn a hole in mine yet, but there are two nice little depressions where the carpeting on the mats has been trodden down right under the gas and clutch pedals. Nothing to major, and nothing's worn away. I don't have that much less on the odo than you do though, mine's at about 21,650mi. Maybe you dig your heel in too hard under acceleration?
  13. Your mama's so fat, when she bends over, we enter Daylight Saving Time
  14. THAT's the other one I was trying to remember!!!!Damn you Fly, and your superior memory retention!!
  15. Oh shizz...bad mental picture...damn you Charger...lol.
  16. You know you're addicted to C&G when you find youself telling people about your "many gay friends".
  17. Pre-Crisis, Crisis 1, in between crises, Crisis 2, Post-crisis.
  18. Your mama's so fat, I tried to swerve around her and ran out of gas.
  19. ...it's also barely 5 hours old over where he is.

    ugh. I don't.
  21. Hey I only saved one, and then spent every other one I got. How many do you really need?
  22. Happy birthday Walt!
  23. The sacagawea dollar coin never really caught on, and nobody really uses it anymore. I haven't seen any since about 2002, so I assume they stopped minting them.
  24. That it does. However, niether of them are what you'd call beauty queens.
  25. I remember when American money used to be green. Now it's pink and orange and purple. My God, they're printing Monopoly money!
