    GM, Ford, and Chrylser are all garbage. Do yourself a huge favor and buy an Inline-6 Altima or Impreza WRX.

    Woah woah woah, lets slow Down here. Ford and Chrysler have recently revamped their entire lines, putting them leaps and bounds ahead of the shit gm is still pumping out.

    yea, talk about putting a cap on one of the biggest rivalries amongst both teams... MSU, OSU and ND are my hated rivalries... and in a few years i will have to laugh at ND from a distance...

    @QD - here's the greatest catch in college football history in my opinion...

    this recent thing made me think of this... nothing will ever top it... i think he broke his leg on the play too...

    This catch is equally impressive:

    I told you what I did and whether you believe it or not, I don't care. I told you what I think and whether you agree or not, I care even less. We should definitely agree to disagree on this one before it gets out of hand and we get dealt a blow from the ban hammer.

    Ok, just don't come in here and talk about how all American cars are shit, then continue to make shit up about European made cars.

    I'm sure you've all enjoyed this little show.

    Ya, that's complete bullshit. If the jetta was a diesel, it might get to around 50, but you'd have to have the wind behind you. 40 mpg in a porsche? Complete and utter bullshit! How did you calculate this? We're you going downhill the entire fucking time? I'm sure my el camino could make better than 40mpg if all I did was coast down a fucking hill for an hour. Even if the Porsche could hit 100 in second gear, it would be completely stupid to do this. That's the best way to blowout a gearbox. And really the only way to achieve 40mpg in any strictly gas-powered car, you'd need to be in the highest gear your car has. Stop trying to make shit up.

    It's not bullshit. That's what I got. In the Porsche, I went 100 miles at an average speed of 100mph (I was in the countryside). It has a 19.4 gallon tank that was full when I set off and had 17 gallons left after the hour of driving. That's just under 40mpg. By the way, I was at 6000rpm in 2nd gear at 100mph which isn't going to blow the engine. And no, the Jetta wasn't a diesel.

    There is no fucking way you managed 40mpg at 6000 rpm. In 1997, only a handful of cars (sold in north america, anyway) that were capable of 40 mpg under regular conditions. One of those was a Honda insight. A Honda Insigt is a god damn hybrid. A fucking hybrid with a BATTERY. I now own a 1999 rav4 that I can barely make 30 mpgs with on a good day. There is no way in hell a Porsche will make "good" gas mileage. 20's more like it. Maybe. If you're light on the throttle, anyway, and definitely not at 100 mph in 2nd gear (which I'm still not convinced is even possible).

    Said Jetta got 50-60mpg. I spent an hour in a '97 Porsche 911 going 100mph in 2nd gear the whole time and got and 40mpg.

    First of all, the new Cadillac sedans are smaller cars than than the new BMW 7 series. Second, get behind the wheel of an American car with some decent power, and you'll see why we love them so. True American cars are punchy, powerful, and innovative. None of the vehicles you say you have ridden in have any of these features. Get in something decent before you make that generalization.

    Problem with wanting a big and powerful car over here is the price of petrol.

    I know gas is hella expensive in the uk, but Googlefluff says he's in Canada. Besides, what kind of gas mileage does your car make? My father has a 2011 Dodge challenger with the 305 horsepower v6 and makes 30 mpg all day.

    I don't have a car at the moment but I'd really like to have a 1980s-1990s VW or a W123 Mercedes (you can get them so cheap now it's awesome). I'd also like to point out that most American cars are completely ridiculous and I don't like them. I probably shouldn't have said that. Mad Dooby, Bones, and many others will now proceed to try and brutally murder me.

    I hope that you drive your little European shitbox straight into a big-ass 1970 Cadillac.

    American cars being "big-ass" is their biggest problem. Just sayin'.

    You do realize that American cars haven't been "big" since 30-40 yrs ago, right? Today, the biggest cars (not SUVs or trucks) I see around are the huge Mercedes benzes (whatever model they are) the BMW 700 series, or Hyundai equus. They're bigger than any sedan from An American company.

    The other good thing about new cars is the way they've managed to consistently reduce the size of the engines while creating more horsepower and increasing MPG...but they all just feel a bit too safe if you know what I mean.

    I like the better mpg but I don't like how a lot of manufacturers are turning cylinders into turbos for new models e.g. V8s into twin turbo V6s. I know it's to meet emissions standards and the mpg increase wouldn't be possible without turbos, but you lose the noise and no fancy tuned exhaust can get around it.

    I also wish they'd make turbos worse by raising the pressure and increasing turbo lag. Part of the fun in a turbo car is the lag you get in a high pressure turbo. When it's just small enough to cover the lost cubic capacity, the fun is gone.

    Then again, turbos mean modern cars will be easier to map when they turn cheap in a few years time...

    A lot of manufacturers here in the U.S. are dropping cylinders for turbos, and I think they're doing a pretty good job of it. The best example is probably the ford f150 ecoboost. The turbocharged v6 makes close to 100 more horsepower over its v8 counterpart, and makes better gas mileage too.

    Boy do I love being a teenager with an absolutely great paying job. I get to start a new project :). I finalize payment of a 1999 Toyota rav4 4x4 tomorrow. Its got the same 4 cylinder that they had in the legendary toyota trucks of the 80s and 90s. It's gonna be a sort of daily driver for me (my el camino doesn't make real great gas mileage, but it'll still get driven plenty). The rav4 is going to get a lift kit and some bigger tires so I can get into off-roading here in the bayous of southeastern Texas.

    in year 7 it was our first week and i was sitting in the classroom and all the other people were too and the teacher said she needed to go out for a moment and to stay in silence otherwise you would get a detention and she said she would be a minute so she went and we were all quiet apart from some people whispering and then after a minute she wasn't back and then another minute went and she wasn't back but i thought she was tricking us to catch us out so i stayed quiet and after 10 minutes everyone was loud apart from me and everyone was trying to get me to talk and i wasn't going to talk and i wrote on my book saying i am being a mime like those french people and showed it to them which was a lie but i wanted them to stop telling me to be loud but it didn't work and the whole class was trying to make me talk and kept shouting at me and jumping on the tables and the teacher wasn't back for the whole lesson and then the bell went and everyone left and then i left so i could have talked for the whole lesson but i didn't. x

    You obviously dropped out before they could teach a punctuation lesson.

    Fuck it, I'm done with football. Nebraska lost to UCLA. Fuck you, fuck me, fuck the whole damn fucking world. Bo Pelini, stop Sanduskying Taylor Martinez and coach some of your other fucking players. Spend five minutes with the defense and teach them how to make a fucking tackle. Pull your kicker's head out of his ass so maybe he can see where the damn uprights are. And for the love of god, get some offensive lineman that do their god damn jobs. There, I'm done.
