There is a very good reason Land Cruisers are the vehicles of choice for the Taliban.

2000GT Yep, that stuff from the 60's and 70's was all awful.

Forgot to put in the first couple generations of Celica, a car that has one hell of a rally history.

Guys night out
There are problems with a weekend driver. First, we're going to be moving this summer, so adding another car right now would be a really bad idea. The second problem is that we're leaning towards a condo instead of a house when we get out to Arlington (we're going out in a couple of weeks to look at a couple of places and hopefully make a decision) so parking for a superfluous car isn't in the foreseeable future. Thirdly, if I were going to get a weekender, it would either be a Jeep or an MG.

Guys night out
Love 'em both. Jill has been taking the TDI 3-4 days a week and has been getting insanely good mileage, low to mid 40's. The only thing keeping that car from being a perfect roadtripmobile is the lack of a DVD player for the kid. Thats going to have to come before we move this summer, 18 hours through the most boring parts of America isn't really something I expect a 3 year old to handle with grace. My only complaint about the Cooper is that it isn't a convertible. Both cars have had minor thais-and-that issues, nothing too bad, the Jetta was at the dealership for a couple hours earlier this year because the seat quit moving while the Cooper had some strange electrical thing pop up while it was being stored for a couple of months, when we pulled it out of storage, the windows wouldn't roll down. Everything worked fine. The dealership sent a flatbed to pick it, did some hocus pocus and she picked it up a few days later, everything working fine. A couple of other car related notes from the winter. My dad's Beetle is finally out of my f'n garage. There is still a fair bit of body and interior work, but the car is practically brand new, mechanically. Its so cool, I want one for myself. Also, late last year Jill started getting nervous about driving the Cooper on summer tires in $h!ty winter weather (not sure why, when she picked it up she drove it home in a freaking blizzard) so we started looking at getting winter tires, and it was going to run about a grand for an acceptable wheel/tire combo. So instead, we parked it away for a little while and I bought a '91 Century for $300 and used it as a beater. It needed rotors/pads/rear shocks and front tires but in total the car was street legal for under $500. A guy I know through work was in desperate need of a car, but didn't really have the money to buy one, so I told him I'd trade him the Century for a copy of MLB 2K10 for the Wii. I even paid for the fresh inspection, so all he had to pay was the title/plate fees, so he got a car that will run just about forever for less than $80.

I still miss that car, it was everything GM has ever been unable to build.

Cloth interior, as an option, for Cadillac?
You've never sat on leather seats that are ventilated, have you? Works pretty well, a much better alternative than offering something that will inevitably be described as cheap and lambasted by the media.

Considering I have a high school diploma, I agree with this guy, although I cannot take all the credit, as bring_buick_back is the person who was originally considering he had a high school diploma.

Coolest GM car you've seen all week?
'73 Nova hatchback Originally an I6 car, it got a 350 a couple years ago. I met the owner through a mutual friend, he needed a little help getting it running (its been sitting since last fall) and I came to the rescue. A new battery, battery cable and fuel filter and it was on the road. A sweet ride, I'll try and get some pics when its out in the daylight.

I think I've lost my GD mind.......
From what I remember, the seats weren't the best, but they were otherwise ok cars. Would've been more successful S-Series replacements in 1998 than in 2002.
