According to my 80-year old uncle and 69-year old aunt, the new Avalon's seats suck. After 3 Avalons in a row (Since 2000), they went with an Accord this year.

My 80 year old uncle has an 02(I think, I know it was one of the last years made) GMC Jimmy that he bought brand new and my aunt just got a brand new Accord, having traded her '10 Avalon in. They said the seats in the new Avalon were horrible and since they make several trips from Greenville, SC to Memphis a year,…

Make fun of me all you want, if I didn't love my mini van so much, I'd definitely be after one of those or a DTS. I'm 28.

You're not, but we're definitely in the minority. Having said that though, I'd rock an Avanti. Do it up Pro-Touring style, with a supercharged new HEMI and a 6-speed manual. AC and cruise control, perfect Power Tour ride.

That's what the concept made me think of, but I'd argue the 05 is better looking. And I'm not a fan of the 05's looks, so that should tell you something.

You're not fully alone, I think this car is absolutely hideous.

That's good to hear, especially for those in that field. I remember 15-20 years ago, my uncle who retired after 43 years with Union Pacific telling young me that there was no future on the railroad, it would barely exist by now. I never, ever understood his reasoning; there's quite a bit of goods that make more sense…

Before I went to a dedicated route company, I would've killed to only be on the truck 11 out of 14 days. I was gone 28, home 3 and missed pretty much the entire first year of my daughter's life. A couple of times I was gone even longer due to breakdowns. But now I'm "retired" from trucking due to injury, so I've been…

Yeah I don't know who the hell decided rats are how it was done back in the day, but they're wrong. The original rodders had pride and craftsmanship. Sure there was plenty of junk yard parts reused, but those cars were those guys pride and joys so you best believe everything was done to the best of their (and their…

That's the fashion these days: throw a pile of shit together, don't worry about safety or craftsmanship, gotta make sure to remove as much usefulness as possible, call it a rat and be done with it.

I remember the 360 Dart! Well, not remember exactly since I wasn't born yet...

Named after Adam Opel.

It looks to me like a made up car from a video game of the 90s. Like one of those "we want you to think Audi but we'll name it Cheetah cause we're too cheap to pay licensing fees" cars from Cruisin' World.

Yeah I didn't watch it. Hits a bit too close to home.

It's not that hard to add ac, so long as you're a fairly decent mechanic and have the tools for the job. Makes it even easier that Honda did equip most Integras with AC, so parts are readily available and you can even use some junkyard parts for certain parts of it, saving a few bucks. Folks add AC to hot rods and…

I think a lot of that depends on the state you're trying to register it in. I'm sure a state like California it'd be impossible but a state like Tennessee it'd be relatively easy. We're pretty lax about things and unless you live in a city there's not even an inspection required to register a car. I even had one of my…

Maybe I misread, but I don't see him mentioning anywhere in his comment Kia or "Hyunday".

When I had no money I saw them all the time. Now that I have the money (well, some money, not a lot) I never see them, except for a couple that were beat to hell and overpriced. I'd take a first gen Durango 5.9 R/T but the only one I've seen lately was a year older with the same mileage as what I already have, which…

You're not the only one! I was in my early teens when those came out and I've wanted one ever since. If ever I see one locally with reasonable miles and in good shape, I'll snap it up. Even if it means having a car payment for the first time in 7 years.

I recall that Chevy was going to keep the old Impala in production for fleet-sales for at least one extra year; is that the model you're driving now?
