Remind me to never, ever read a car thread in GD or LBN again.

Inevitably there's some poster (and while I hate to stereotype, they all seem to be male) who feels that any derogatory remarks about cars that generally resemble (in brand, shape, nationality, weight class, color or number of cupholders) his somehow constitutes a slander of him, his penis, his sainted mother, America herself and apple pie, to judge by the reaction. Not any one poster in particular, mind, DU seems to have a whole cadre of my-car-is-sacred-and-perfect posters, and whether I like their choice in vehicles or not I think I've decided they're all annoying.

Unless they drive wagons, because everybody knows that only the smartest people drive wagons. ;)

At least until it can't go any more or the kids all grow up and move away. :-)

Oh shit I will be flamed for that.

:hide:

Now, Toyota Echos are another matter. Man, do not diss a Toyota Echo in GD. Apparently, I am ignorant for saying they suck in snow.

I took my driving lessons in one, but the worst weather we get here is rain with street flooding.

and having the car not be able to do it because there was an inch of snow on the road.

The only time I got stuck in the Saab, there were a full six inches of unplowed snow on the roads.

WAY too small. :scared:

I think my parents were secretly trying to kill me, while seeming nice about it.

I had one in college, and bought another one last year.

And the Mazdaspeed IS sacred and perfect.

:popcorn:

To answer your question: Fuck yes, I had to google that. ;)

Freepers, they never get their shit straight.

:popcorn:

You round them up via trickery, then bludgeon them. Jesus.

Uh, but no, not like that.

This is what you get for dissing GOP's G20.

:P

:P

OK, so you're kind of right...

Shit.

I need some help in the "it's on" department.

Actually though, it's a better-built, fancier Nissan. Best car I've ever owned. I'll hate to see it go, but it's getting to be time. It's pretty much a brand new car under the body panels.

It is a better car overall. Compare the 350Z to the G35. Proof Infinity is a better car.

the one in the Infiniti is a DOHC 24-valve. The Nissans were a SOHC 16-V, I think.

The head service guy at the dealership said he would buy those engines from Nissan and race them. Best feature: TIMING CHAIN - not a timing belt.

Edit - worst feature: LIQUID MOTOR MOUNTS that cost several limbs to replace.

:D

I applaud them for not slapping an Infiniti badge on it. :applause:

It's the new flame-festival!!

Daily or weekly?

I put them on Double Secret Zombie Death Ninja Ignore.

She wants me to follow them around on the rare occasion we see them. If you see a young car stalker, It might be her...

:D

But then again, she is a teenager, perhaps a small taunting might be in order...:evilgrin:

;)

If I were living at a house instead of a crappy apartment with no parking for extra cars, I might've.

Oh well...

I can always use a parts car. :D

It was in good shape. I think you could have just had a spare. Face one north and one south and decide which one to drive based on which way you're going.

I think it was that butternut yellow with a 283.

Always looked like it should go only on gummint cars. :puke:

It had a black interior, IIRC, so maybe a nice white, silver, blue - the possibilities are endless.

My dad's '66 Impala SS was that nasty beige color. :shudder:

I might as well stand on the corner holding a "FREE HERPES" sign.

:shrug:

:P

And it replaced a Volvo which was a real wagon, but the prius has more room front to back in the wagon part and between the wheel wells than the V40 wagon I had.

And I used to have a Camry wagon (sweet) but they were nixed in the US to make people buy stupid SUVs and Trucks.

Why would you denigrate a car in America?

But that's just me. O8)

Never read a car thread in GD or LBN again.





(you're welcome)

:shrug:

:D

I love me some wagons.

Instead of just mainly VW, Volvo, Saab, and Subaru.

and the one we bought is no longer made, the Chevy Malibu Maxx. Wonderful car, terrible marketing, didn't sell well, and the new Malibus don't come in wagon designs.

"Station Wagon" is still a lethal term to marketeers, but SUVs are morphing into station wagons using the benign word "crossover". Still a wagon to me.

It's only used to get from point A to point B. It's nothing more than that.

Whatever it is.

I just know it sucks.

Did you not know that?

Gee, I have no idea who you're talking about...

and everyone wants to stay at a Hilton :eyes:

:hi:

And that sentiment extends beyond cars too.
