No - she'll cut *your* balls off. Horses. Heh.3 out of 4 are needed. Trucks would be a waste of money on fuel to commute with she goes 50 miles south each day and I go 20 north.
Wife has horses, she competes all over the state. we need a truck to move the horse around and the camper to stay on the grounds for 1/2 the cost of a hotel. Tell my wife to get rid of the horses and she WILL cut your balls off. The old truck, I might get 8-10K for it so I might as well just keep it.
So, any type of sporty wagon?my criteria when looking for a new car:
-manual
-power
-handling
-semi-good amount of room for wife and 2 kids and trailwork tools/bike stuff
-relatively reliable
-not 34 bazillion $, less than 50k miles, not more than a few years old
With just over a month left in the season she is ranked number 1 in her class level in the United States. She is the Director of Tax for North America for a major international corporation. I'm pretty damn impressed with her abilities. Whats your partner in crime doing?No - she'll cut *your* balls off. Horses. Heh.

sure...although having had wagons i'm not convinced they offer much more to me than a decent sized sedan. we use my wife's suv/huge wagon thing to haul anything big.
You're dick-waving with your wife? Well played, sir. Well played!With just over a month left in the season she is ranked number 1 in her class level in the United States.

that's precisely when I'd take my wife's big wagon/suv thing...could do all that plus still double as a mobile bong shed!I dunno....
I took my old Mazda hatch to Bromont one trip with the following in/on it; 3 adult men (2 > 6 foot), 1 barbeque, all our clothes, gear, helmets, my downhill bike in the car, food, BEER, 2 downhill bikes on the outside rack and enough munchies to satisfy any bong shed.
Good luck trying to get all that in a sedan
well played sir, well played. i'll stick with my g37s though. style counts for a bit too.Chevy SS/Pontiac G8

Being that the SS is already decently wide and high performance, some mild body effects like a splitter, more aggressive diffuser, etc., would probably make it look like a million bucks.well played sir, well played. i'll stick with my g37s though. style counts for a bit too.
I didn't see "needs to be ugly as all hell" in that list. Maybe the SS El Camino is in order.Chevy SS/Pontiac G8
Done
Yes. Ugly in this format, but yes.
they did release a patch for it.I'd been looking at the Jeep Renegade (or maybe the Cherokee) for wifey and I to use as our biking/camping/exploring vehicle. Sounds like Jeep still haven't worked out how to make reliable non-hackable vehicles though...
just get a cts v wagon.I didn't see "needs to be ugly as all hell" in that list. Maybe the SS El Camino is in order.
Seriously though, the Holden wagon with LS V8 is still high on my list of unobtanium.
like the holden...the caddy nothing to get all mr cream jeans over....but looks isn't the point....Ugly as isht.
While the Caddy wagon isn't easy on the eyes, it is a whole lot better looking than the G8/GTO nastiness. The 2nd gen CTS-V is no joke (supercharged grocery getter).Ugly as isht.
a friend of my older brother essentially had the corvette in the caddy body....he religiously flogged the shit out of that thing.While the Caddy wagon isn't easy on the eyes, it is a whole lot better looking than the G8/GTO nastiness. The 2nd gen CTS-V is no joke (supercharged grocery getter).
My buddy bought his ex a first gen, he has an '05 C6 as well. While not quite the same drivetrain, the LS6 with T56 manual was a hell of a lot of fun to flog and the Brembo brakes are teh awesome. It was also a HELL of a lot easier to replace the clutch in the Caddy vs the Vette.a friend of my older brother essentially had the corvette in the caddy body....he religiously flogged the shit out of that thing.
haha no kidding about the clutch. When I delivered autoparts one summer during college, I strolled into this one shop to drop something off. They had a corvette on the lift, with the entire rear end, suspension, driveshaft EVERYTHING on the ground. So of course I asked "whats up with that, looks expensive", to which buddy pointed to the counter off to the side, which had a fried clutch sitting on it.My buddy bought his ex a first gen, he has an '05 C6 as well.

I almost traded my C5 for a first gen V a few months ago, but decided to keep the 2 seater for now.
11 hours labor is what I was quoted. $500 in parts, $1500 in labor. We put a Monster with remote bleeder in the Caddy and added the much needed pinion brace.Did it in an afternoon with a few beers.haha no kidding about the clutch.

Apparently this guy had purchased the z06 from Texas, without looking at it. Clutch died within a few drives....ouch.
in other words...math is hard.Those dealer finance guys know what they are doing too. I'm always amazed at how creative they are at getting a deal put together that is honest and fair to the consumer. So when they tell you the value of your trade-in is worked into the bottom line price of the car without actually telling you the amount of the trade-in, you can rest assured they are doing what is in your best interest.
you must have pissed off someone.Drove a Nissan Pathfinder with a CVT all last week.
Made me want to murder kittens.
The cars with CVTs that I've rented feel like a rubber-band is powering the car, although I think it's a tie between those and the chrysler 200 with the 20 spd gearbox or whatever, car could never figure out what gear it wanted to be in.Drove a Nissan Pathfinder with a CVT all last week.
