My all time favorite car has been my Chevy Tahoe.  Big Red has over 200,000 miles and outside of needing a new trans at about 50,000 (Chevy's are infamous for needing new trans) and routine maintenance, she has been a wonderful car.  She's now been retired and sits with a big plow on her front end and does a fine job of keeping my 800 foot steep driveway free and clear of snow and ice.  I now drive  Big Good Gray ( named by my wee one)...a GMC Yukon.  Bought used from our mechanic with about 75,000 miles on him.  So far I love him, but he rides just like the Tahoe so it's all good.  I plan on getting well over 200,000 out of him too.



You oughta heat the springs up and throw some Dayton's on Big Red..... Get yourself a troll or some ''fury dice'' to hang from he visor. Hell....even a '' Playboy Bunny'' air freshener would work. Oh.....and don't forget the ''tint'' on that bad boy. [8|]

Griswold, you got a link to this? (Repo's are up 4 times the 5 year average, and in luxury cars, it's currently close to 10 times the average).  I'd like to read it. TY.


Well, I hope I got the numbers right....I probably didn't, but I heard this while I was shaving Monday morning.

CNN....but some repo guy was being interviewed telling the reporter he was buried in work and hiring more people because his workload was up something like 300%.

I'll see if I can find something on the net and repost if I find it.

(Okay....I wasn't even close...but there WAS a "10" in the story {allright....so it referred to being up "10%"....but it was still a 10} and there were other numbers in the story....and....so they bore absolutely zero {another number} relationship to the amount of % increase in repos this year....but anyway...it WAS a story about repos...and they ARE up {just not anywhere near as much as my post suggested} http://www.abcnews.go.com/Business/PersonalFinance/story?id=4289740&page=1)

Hey...at least I got the part about it being about "cars" right.

Popeye, I saw a car advertised recently {I think it was a Volvo}, that alerts you
that you are close enough to hit someone, it alerts you when someone is about to hit you.
 
Mine does that too.  It's the most amazing damndest thing....it has some kind of sensor or something in it....within seconds of hitting another car....my car makes a very distinctive "crunch-like" sound.
 
I tested it out a few months ago....sure as shit, it made that noise...I stepped out of my car....right as rain....easily $4,500.00 worth of damage.
 
(I swear I don't know how they do it?!)

it even has a detector that lets you know if someone is hiding next to your car at night.
 
Mine does THAT as well!!!!
 
The sensor is like some kind of amazing robotic thing.  You walk up to your car and if there's someone hiding by your car....seconds later your wallet is gone (who fucking THINKS of this stuff????).

 
I have seen so many new features, I would not be surprised if there are cars that will
help you locate a hot submissive using the gps.[:D]
 
There are....I have that in mine as well!!!!  Here's how it works:  You walk up to my car, you tap on the window and say these words (you have to say these words...it's like some kind of software / voice recognition type of a thing I'm guessing) "I'm a Domme....are you a 49 year old submissive?".
 
It works best though if there's a 49 year old submissive inside.

 
I want my next car to have all the bells and whistles.
 
I want my car to fold my socks.

I'd like to get a Caddy STS cheap sometime.
I wonder where those repo guys take the cars they grab?




chatondamore -> RE: CARS!!! (2/19/2008 8:44:05 PM)

This is my dream car. http://www.carsearch.com/785702.htm the 1955 Porsche Spider.
(the car that James Dean died in)

My favorite car (which is different than my dream car, I assure you) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_181 the Volkswagon "Kurierwagen", otherwise known as the "Thing".

However you dress it up popeye, Japanese cars consistently come out as the most reliable cars in the world, even in America. That is why no matter where you go in the world you see Japanese cars and not American cars or European cars. There'll always be the odd lemon that the anti-Japanese will latch onto but that doesn't nullify the experience of most owners of Japanese cars.

As for cars I like, I have a little nostalgia for the Citroen 2CV, they just don't make cars so fun to own and drive anymore. It was a design of genius. http://www.pbase.com/erichmangl/2cv

I'm looking for a Citroen H van to renovate, again something of a genius design.

DesFIP -> RE: CARS!!! (2/20/2008 9:06:19 AM)

First car at age 35 when I moved out of Manhattan and had to learn to drive was an '89 Honda Civic wagon 4 wheel drive (the '89 and '90 model years had this as an option, technology bought from Subaru before they sold their own here), 32' highway still in '01 at 150,000 miles. I was in deep mourning after I got driven off the road by a tractor trailer who came thru a 40 mph zone who never hit his brakes even coming downhill on a double s curve with a 30% grade and signs everywhere. I hit the only spot for the half mile that wasn't a ravine, rolled it and walked away without anything but a bump on my head. My purse and glasses flew out the broken passenger window and there wasn't even a scratch on my head.

Since then I've been driving a VW Passat wagon, 4 motion. Great car but any repairs are exorbitant. Even the spark plug wires are made of platinum! If I'm still living up the mountain when I give up on this one, I'll get another but a used one. Don't ever want to go thru the offgassing for 18 months again. 6 below F with the windows open is not my idea of fun.

Meat, I'm not "dressing it up."
I'm just reporting what I see.
Don't shoot the(reporter) messenger.
