May 11, 201115 yr Damn that is nice. I love German cars. But Imports as a whole...fast or not, people don't respect them over here much at all. Ricers are partly to blame for the general bias towards them. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

Who really gives if 50% of Hondas today haveself-installed aesthetics? That's a big part of loving cars.

Nothing wrong with modding cars, import or domestic; don't act like I'm singling out every importuner, because I'm not and you know it. I live in Detroit, thus my "over here" allusion. Does not apply everywhere and I am aware. Read. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

Petrol prices went down this week, yet the price at the pump is still rising 10 cents/L here in New Brunswick, Canada.
May 13, 201115 yr Yay I got a 2nd job Now I can get something a bit more fuel efficient than my crappy jetta. I'm thinking corolla or ford ranger.

I don't want a big truck just to have a big truck....
May 13, 201115 yr I don't need a V8 to haul tools and parts around...Small trucks are just fine. I don't want a big truck just to have a big truck.... In my experience (limited, I admit), small trucks are now more powerful than suv's or minivans. It makes a lot more sense to get one of those since they're able to carry more people and you're not really losing out on engine power. If hauling light stuff is all you're going to be doing, I suppose a small truck makes sense...I've just rarely seen that occasion :P "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 13, 201115 yr Small trucks in North America may not be. I guess I just associate North American trucks with big SUV's and things like Dodge Rams.
May 13, 201115 yr Dunno, I was just really unimpressed the time I used a ford ranger for a few weeks. Terrible engine power. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 13, 201115 yr Demby, if you're looking to get a small hauling vehicle, I'd suggest trying to find an early 90's Jeep Cherokee. Those AMC engines NEVER die and they're great for hauling things around. Pre-1995/6 is what you're looking for. Check Craigslist, there are many for sale. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."

May 13, 201115 yr Everyone that has owned a Jeep is crazy about them (including this guy :-P). "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
May 14, 201115 yr Everyone that has owned a Jeep is crazy about them (including this guy :-P).Drove it for him when some cops wanted to stop him and another friend for having 1 beer lol, I liked it.Steering isn't as tight as my car though, feels wierd....
May 14, 201115 yr Yeah, it's definitely different but those things are great. They are great from 0-25 so if you ever get stuck you can drop it in to four wheel drive; they are absolute tanks at getting out of ditches. If you can find a 4-door automatic the insurance shouldn't be toooo bad, but I can understand if you're dead-set on a manual.
