After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

When did that come out?  I think it's a great idea.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.

I remember Cadillac developping a hidden antenna thing a while back. What happened to that?

Jaguar does it with the (absolutly glorious XJ) but I don't know what other luxury brands do.  I'm sure there are others, I just can't think of them.

I like the fin even though it makes washing the roof a little harder.

I usually prefer wagons over sedans, but in this case, the M5 sedan looks way better than the wagon. The boxy styling at the rear reminds me of a 1970s Cadillac Hearse.  :tounge:

By hidden antenna if you mean one integrated into the back window, my 1999 and 2000 Camrys both had that standard...and both were bare-bones base models...my 99 was an auto and my mom's 00 was a stick. :rockon:

I assume you mean radio antennas. To the best of my knowledge no one has yet come up with a hidden sat antenna.

I do mean radio antennas. My 6 and 7-year old cars, respectively, did not have sat radio.
