I hope The Intrepid doesn't mind if I hijack the thread. I have a similar dilemma. The Jetta is almost out of gas. I mean, the needle is in the red, so it doesn't have much left. I have a feeling that I might need get new gas in. Getting the gas replaced is such a hassle, though. I'm thinking about getting a new car. I'm considering:

1989 Dodge Colt Vista
1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Wagon
2003 Suzuki Reno
1985 Chevrolet Corvette
1991 Volkswagen Golf GL

Let me show the list to my dad.

get a Suburban. Those have big tanks, so the gas should last you a while :devil: :lol:

You're putting Ceramics on it? Why the hell would you do that, and where the hell would you do that?

I'm betting he means "ceramic metallic brake pads," not ceramic-composite rotors.


Big difference.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Shit, dawg. Don't get a domestic.

Oh, and if you do end up keeping it (99% you won't), don't try to tell us you're putting brakes akin to PCCB's on your FWD family boat.

No way, I'm definately getting ceramic brakes. I have a TON of left over ceramic tiles from a flooring job, so I'll probably glue those on some old brake pads. They'll probably last forever so I won't have to worry about that ever again. It's mostly the gas that I'm worried about.

Oh, and if you get a Suburban, you can upgrade the interior with the one from the Escalade :rolleyes:

You don't know what prescient means, do you?

I went bingo fuel as well recently.  My range was showing "0 miles".  So I think I'm going to buy a Yaris.  They're not more than $45, right?

You can usually pickup a used Yaris at most flea markets in the $18-range

Why do that, when you can buy an Intrepid for $6.25?

Is this a serious post??
The Suzuki Reno obviously pwnz all the rest. :rolleyes: You should totally get that! It has a handy feature, an engine that stops making power 500 RPM before redline so it makes you feel like you're going faster!
This is obviously a joke post as the Reno is the best. RENO FOR PRESIDENT!

There's a video on Youtube where a drunk 12 year old in a Suzuki Reno races Max Angelleli in a Bugatti Veyron around Infineon Raceway and wins by four seconds.
