00 Grand Am.

Need to go to the gas station... my warning light came on on the way home today, and gas is about $2.40/gal here. :(

round about $6 a gallon here in the uk. ;)


True, but thats mostly because of taxes. Over here, its pure profit for the oil companies. >:(

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

A 1991 Mercedes-Benz 200E for when it's raining and I need to take my wife somewhere or to do shopping. For sunny days and for fun a Honda GT647 Hawk motorbike.

Crash ;)

I drive a car with wheels at each corner for better balance and transparent windows for better vision ;D
Actually just a Ford Escort. Cars are the wifes thing really, I'm just on the lookout for a ZXR750 at the right price and then no policeman will sleep comfortably again [smiley=evil.gif]

In the stable I have a track-prepped 2000 Miata, a 1998 Subaru Forester that's seen a LOT of winter (I think it's green but right now it's salt white), and a 2004 Mazda3.

Oh, an a Cannondale R600 and Trek 5600.

2002 Oldsmobile Alero Coupe sports package model, 6 cylinder sports suspension and wide tires, 225/60's.  Got it December 2002, it just passed 15,000 (that's right, only fifteen thousand) miles.  Really sporty, handles great (some steering/suspension mechanic did a write up on e-pinions greatly praising the steering and suspension on this car).  Only 170 HP tho, could use a bit more, but still picks up pretty good.  It's been slowly broken in (obviously), and the only problems I've had so far is that each auto-window motor has failed at least once.

I would buy this vehicle again, best one I've ever had.  No complaints whatsoever.

Unfortunately, Oldsmobiles are no more.  Figures, don't it?

2005 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4

Still not entirely sure what color it is though.  I thought it was black when I first bought it, but it actually has a maroon/burgundy tint to it in the right lighting.
