Accord Interior Shot
It looks alright. Better than the Camry's. (Like I'm going to bash a car's interior.)

Gibbs Aquada coming Stateside by '09
I get a kick out of that seating arrangement. It can seat one more person than your standard roadster, and that should amount to something. I personally hope this thing is mildly successful. Amphibious vehicles would mean we could potentially travel from America to Europe by car... Of course, I don't know if I could handle sitting in what would basically be a tiny boat for several weeks.

Tulsa Plymouth Sunk?
Is the car sealed in plastic, or just covered? The difference between the two will suggest the condition of the car that we will see when the wraps are removed.

DEBUT: 2008 SAAB 9-3 Lineup
The SportCombi design is remarkably European, and very close to the point of repulsion among Americans. Apparently, I prefer the Black striping of the Convertible's tail lamps over the Grey striping of the Sedan's tail lights. Overall, though, I prefer the sedan's lamps.

pulse plugs?
I'd be worried about the pulse plugs going bad faster than regular spark plugs do, considering the immense size of the "pulse" they make. Other than that, yes, I would like to have the option to tune my car for better fuel efficiency (while potentially getting more power as a side effect).

Major 2007 Torrent / Equinox Recall
Oh. That's worse. Why would something like this only be on the 2007 Equinox / Torrent? Did they change the glue from 2006?

SPY SHOTS! 2009 Nissan Murano
The Murano isn't ugly... I just don't like it. Particularly the grille. That said...

Even He Wants a Salary Raise
"Funny!!! And FIXED!" Oh, crap! Was the Penis fired? Did the management confiscate his suspicious-looking bags!?

Photos of My Oldsmobile Ninety Eight and Toronado
I think it's usually done to maintain anonymity.

Cool, heading through Central NY?

Chrysler admits Sebring, Nitro are duds
Ah, yes, but they also have four doors, a B-Pillar, a rear window split, 5 split-spoke rims, fog lights, and similar proportions. That's about it, though.

Even He Wants a Salary Raise
Oh, and... "penis" isn't exactly a dirty word. It's the correct term for the part in question.

Even He Wants a Salary Raise
Pff, like anyone would give him a salary. He'd just spend it all on hookers and porno mags.

Happy 60th Anniversary, SAAB!
The 2003 9-3 was a fantastic launch! Here's hoping for more like it and for Saab's prosperity.

Cyclone hits Persian Gulf
I was aiming for the same general area where the cyclone was photographed. I fixed it, hopefully before anyone notices

I wonder if he's pleading insanity.

'01-'02 Chevrolet Impala LS Reliability/Info Please
GM's 4-speed transmission is famed for being virtually bulletproof. The rest of the stuff, I can't help you with. My dad and sister had a 2000 Impala leased, but did not get to see it with high mileage.

Belief in Aliens Can Turn Deadly
A good start. But what does that have to do with this thread?

Cargirl: Safety Systems Of the Future
I'm reminded of the commercials for the Volvo S80. - You're gonna crash into that truck in front of you if you don't slow down or change lanes! - There's something in your blind spot! - Heartbeat monitor... Somebody is in your car! Etc. Etc.

SPY SHOTS! 2009 Nissan Murano
It might be the best... But that wouldn't imply that it's as good as a fixed-gear transmission.

SPY SHOTS! 2009 Nissan Murano
What, one pic? Feh. Nissan's styling has been hit-or-miss for me. I'm hoping this one will be a hit, unlike its predecessor. (Hey, they fixed the Altima. Maybe they can fix the Murano, too!)

Cyclone hits Persian Gulf

maximum speed you ever reached
Uh... 85 mph. Sometimes I forget to look at the speedometer. Actually, I dragged with a Corvette at an ASIM. Not sure what speed I hit, though. I've accidentally hit 80 mph in a 55 while test-driving a CTS. Those cars are so smooth that when there are no other cars around, you don't even realize you're going that fast.

Want a Fuel Saving Car?
Looks aside, I kinda like this concept. Any alternative fuel is welcome if it can get a decent range without costing a premium. I just wonder how the electronic components will be operated. Is the compressed air engine hooked up to an alternator that charges the battery? If they ever made something like this around here, a helluva lot of gas stations would hike the prices to use their air compressors.

Principle Problem: Resale value
Consider this, GM. The main feature that made me consider the Cobalt coupe instead of the sedan was the style. I much prefer the roofline of the coupe over the sedan, but I would have been willing to get the sedan if it had the same tail light cluster design as the coupe. Some people want both form AND function, and the sedan would look great with the baby Corvette tail lights. While on the subject of Corvette tail lights, the 2008 Malibu's rear would look much better if it were inspired by the SS concept, like the rest of the car was. Consider it sales lost before the car even hits showrooms.
