07 Yaris
The end of the article was missing the "Why is it?" section! Ugh, I wish that we did have the small Citroens and Peugeots. They're at leas (to me) better looking and probably more fun to drive. Better yet, they are not a Toyota (except for that one little one that's badge-engineered across all three). I wish the Aveo had a small ECOTEC, whether 1.8 or 2.0 litres, and with a good five- or six-speed manual too. Aveos really aren't too bad to drive.

Lamborghini goes Retro with New Miura Concept
Yuck. It doesn't really fit in with the rest of the family. The other Lamborghinis seem ultra modern with their crisp, origami-like lines. Goody, Lamborghini is another exhuming an old name and an old style. My favourite Lambo today is the Gallardo. Ooo, it's so sexy, so modern. I would just love to caress it, hehe. Like I keep saying, leave the past where it belongs- in the past, and in memories. Not cloned and shoved back out for display.

Chrysler recalling 265,000 for engine fires
Oh, thank the Lord that I escaped that recall! My car is a 1996 Breeze with the 2.0 litre engine, so I'm fine on both counts. Who knows what the future may bring, though. My car seems to have its quirks... Like about a month ago my Check Engine lamp illuminated. So, I took it to Team Hillsdale Chrysler Dodge Jeep (they are amazing and very nice-I would recommend them) to find out why. Well, it seems that there was an engine misfire. So, they recommended new spark plugs/wires. Being a dealership, the price was like $145 something, but no more light! Good, I thought. Well, the next day when I went out to start my car, guess what? That's right- the damn light was back on. So I called over there, and the Service Advisor said, "You're kidding me!" I said "No" and so she said to bring my car back over there. She said they were going to keep my car overnight to try and replicate the problem (the diagnostics system indicated engine misfire again). In the service bay, one of the technicians said that it seemed odd as the fuel injectors were maintaining pressure and everything. So, they gave me a 2005 Dodge Caravan to drive home in. How nice! The advisor said for me to call the next day before I came in for my car. So, the next day I called at 10:30 am, and I had to leave a message. I didn't get a call back until like 5:00 pm!!! Apparently, they had some technicians call off due to illness. The verdict on my car? No problems noted, Unable to replicate issue. Price of return service? NOTHING! Free! Statement delivered before I left? "If the light comes back on, bring it back." !!!

The Jeep Compass... Trail Rated - Nope
Maybe that since Jeep knows it is risking its image with car-based unibody sport utilities, it decided to make this sucker as off-roadable as possible.

GM Executive Regrets Employee Pricing
Regrets Employee Pricing? Somehow I really don't find that to be surprising. When this (the prcing plan) was announced, it shocked me. I thought that at the time it would surely seal GM's fate. Upon the most recent product introductions, and the others in the pipeline, I really feel that I may finally breathe a bit of relief.

The Caliber just looks "off"
You know, I believe that I would get one (supposing I had the funds). And in person, the interior did not look that bad. Hey, when test mules are abandoned at all, I am over to snoop!

Changing my I.D. name?
Ohh, I see. I was just curious, and sort of wanted a change. Thank you for the assistance!

Are more car brands heading for the junkyard?
Um, I'd want to kill off Saturn. Just the runt out of like 10 other needy siblings which have heritage and those sorts of thigs.

Many Chinese would rather have a Buick
All right! My favourite GM division crazily popular...in China. Better there than no where else. Let the sales continue!

Changing my I.D. name?
Hey, guess what? (Bear with me here) Yep, my brain has stopped again worse than ever before! So please tell me since I can't find out where under "My Controls" to change my user/i.d name. Do I have to re-register or is it just right in front of me?

Car Spotting
I hate you. :P Just kidding. I'm waiting for the NAIAS later this month. Hope I have enough money to get there and back, I'm still unemployed!

Odd police vehicles
Of the ones listed here, I'd have to say the oddest one is the Acclaim, Aries, or anything known to be commonly four cylinder.

What is your anti drug?
Ah, yes, and thank you. Sometimes I only want to see my side of the story. What can I say? I'm stubborn! One of my "things" I had at work was: "Never question me. I don't call myself amazing for nothing!" Abstinence is the best thing for anything. I mean, it seems like teen pregnancies are on the rise in my area, and I'm like, come on! Is getting some action really worth screwing your future up? Honestly, just take care of your little problem yourself. It may not be as enjoyable, etc., but it (usually) sure is a heck of a lot safer!

Sigh my mother *rant*
Hehe. It's sad though, really it is (that she (others) won't consider American cars).

Buick & Lucerne
There-PICTURES! I tend not to do things I'm not iknowledgeable in, so no Haiku (yet), interesting as it may be. Why not more poetry on display here? Art is Life!

Car Spotting
You know, I think a lot of things look better in black. Like slinky dresses. Or sexy coupes. If the engine and transmission in my `97 Monte Carlo Z34 hadn't been such an "Oh shit" kind of thing, I might still have it.

Pictures!
Lol. this thread is cool. Damn my carmer, I still can't get the software to work! I have pictures!

Car Spotting
This afternoon on my way to Marshall, MI (God know why, I just drive sometimes) and saw The New Cadillac Escalade on I-69 South. It's the first one I've seen in person. Wish I had my camera with me!

What is your anti drug?
Anti-drug? What's that? The thing where the government tries to scare the pants off of you? Just kidding, hehe. I would say that to have a specific anti-drug is a sign of personal weakness!!!

Buick Lucerne or Impala SS
Buick Lucerne! More car, better looking, and it's a luxury brand. And because I like Buick better anyway. My first car was one.

Flava Flav's New Show
Channel surfing, I came across it, but I will not watch trash like this. The only ridiculous shows I feel that are really worth watching are animated.
