A Sea Of Red

ANOTHER ONE!!!! Yes!!!!

I feel like I've seen this before...

I will never watch this movie. Not due to the poor acting or stupid stunts but because they destroy the hidden American supercar of the 80's the Buick Grand National. I cannot watch them destroy that car. They can wreck as many imports and mustangs as they like, but they need to leave the Buick out of it.

and yes i do realize how much of a loser i sound like for ranting about cars

I had a friend in high school whose dad had a Grand National which he drag raced yet was street legal. That car would FLY.

yes sir, they had a 3.8 litre turbo charged v6 which was unheard of at that time. those cars were sleepers that could take most any car off the line and the poor guy would never even know what was happening. I really want one but dont have an extra 20 grand to sink into one thats in decent condition.

luconn <3's u

I sold my Grand National this past summer. It was an automatic and I could spin the tires at will, at almost any normal speed.

Thats unfortunate, I would love to have one but I know that it will probably never happen.

Is a Honda Odyssey upgrading or downgrading?

while an Odyssey is the top of the line of vans....there's still that one word that was used in describing it

ooo what year? we have an 04 EXL...

we went from Grand Nationals to Honda vans, im not sure growing up is as much fun as some people say

but for the record i drive a 00 Silverado Z71, which i hope to keep for a long time

same thing! we're minivan buddies!

Heated leather, power doors, DVD, I'm a couple of weeks away from 100k.

The thing about trucks is that they are awesome and you still will need one when you have a family.

Felt the man card slipping didnt you...



My mom drives an 08...it's pretty nice...pretty fun to drive...still think it's a waste of money and would have liked to see her get a Suburban or Tahoe or something but no dice...and I'm even a Honda guy (well Acura, Honda's our ugly step child)

we didn't get the dvd...we didn't need it. we got ours last january with 35k miles on it. an old guy traded it in...they let me call him and talk aboutt the van...i asked what he got for it, he told me....i walked in and said, you paid him this much for it, i'll give you this much for it....that kind of ticked them off....

exactly, i love driving it and if one day i get hitched, not that it will happen any time soon, the truck is an extended cab so i can carry people and stuff

I agree its not the best economical choice but i figured ill only be 21 and single once in my life so if i can afford it then i will while i can, and i will also mention hondas are great cars. my family owns an auto repair show in l-burg and ive seen alot of cars come through and hondas are by far some the best ones

i had an s60 (volvo) but got rid of it....i'm a slob and it was too nice for me....i sold it for 12 grand and then bought a truck....what truck? a 90 s10 with 90k miles on it. needed an oil change and new tires....how much did i pay for it? 200 bucks.

so my wife drives the nice van and i have 2 vehicles....a 95 geo prizm w/ 105k miles on it and the s10. i love it...

i enjoyed the nice car because i had a nice system i put into it that is now sitting but i like having cars that i don't have to care about it.

My GF is thinking about a Volvo S40 '05....would you recommend that Rubber?
