I like that part where no one gets into an accident.

This might be stereotyping, but it appears to be that *seemingly* light-hearted racism/stereotyping is rampant in British culture. Or its just Jeremy Clarkson being himself and the other hosts jump in on the joke. I've never been to Britain, so I can't confirm it. Does anybody know?

Well the first generation, from what I hear, wasn't all that good. The 2nd Gen, I think its pretty decent. I DD an '08 Crusier, its my only car, and its my first car. I bought it before I entered the world of cars, so I will admit I didn't know what I was getting myself into.

I won't deny I feel very iffy about GM vehicles, but not buying American is difficult in GM territory (i think) because dealers and parts are far and between from where i live. Which stinks because I would love to buy a foreign car and show it off to my GM loving in-laws.

Juggalos ruin everything.

I have to ask, ever been to Flint? or Detroit? There is a lot of unreasonable pride in American automakers because it helps keep Michiganders employed. Not my words, it was told that way to me. Plus, as a Michigander myself, I do take pride in whats made here (Better Made Chips, Faygo), but I personally can't take…

Anything painted like the A-Team van.

No , no, no; you got it all wrong. That image was taken back in the early 1800s, they just added color to it. It's proof that the Ferrari has been around since forever. I think Moses drove one.

I remember being at the auto show when I first saw this. With it's arrow-like body, beautiful curves like a woman (um...I mean my wife), it's a body design that is physically appealing. I mean look at it! Ignoring the engine and internal parts, the car is a hands down head turner.

that's not silly, i can personally vouch for that. that stinks, because I had some really neat pictures of a abandoned '32 ford dump truck to share. I made the post and everything, posted it, then found out it was on my personal blog only :(

so this may seem silly, but how do I get authorship to post on Oppo?

Maybe if it was the indestructible Hilux that wouldn't of happened?

I love the color contrast there. black with neon blue stripes? gorgeous. the hood is awesome, but the rest of the car doesn't match the design :(

I would love a diesel, the idea of a car rotting around the engine is an idea that appeals to me. But I hear the oil changes are expensive. I am looking at used though, plus there's a greater variety of cars to choose from. I think i will post on the main page about this question, it'll be a decent first post. Now I…

Those red lines around the grill.....those are drop, dead sexy.

I travel, every day, 40 miles in that car. Its mocking that the mpg for a hwy is *suppose to be* 24 and I know it could be better in a different car. Plus, in roughly a year, the car should be paid off since we put some of tax return to pay for it. I'm looking at used cars. I see nothing wrong with getting used. …

I've been debating about doing that. Right now, I'm in the 'looking' period of car purchasing. Money is tight and I'm still paying for my first car, though I can always sell it to help even out a purchase, but that would be a decision that I'd most likely regret. So yeah, I'm seeing whats out there, unless the…

I can't think of the most embarrassing, but I have one fresh in my mind. Last night I was at a men's bible study. Six guys were there, including my landlord, and the other half were guys that lived in my sub-division (i live on a campgrounds, a total of 15 house, less than half are inhabited at the moment). Anyways,…

Yes I believe lower than invoice. And thanks for the rooting, I appreciate it. I purchased my current car, a used '08 PT Cruiser, auto base model, 36 miles, for $10k, paying for 6 years, no down payment, at $192/month. In Fort Myers, FL (i'm in MI now), believe it or not this was the cheapest car I could find. It…

I think it also helps to have connections. My grandfather, who worked at GM for most of his life, has got his past 4 or 5 leases form the same dealership, from the same guy. When I started looking for a 2nd car, he recommended the same guy to me. Now, the cars there are a bit above what I'm comfortable paying. But the…
