It's not effective for 90 days I'm really pissed now. And Eric, you're on the top of my list (need a Rambo greamlin right here)

THE BAN FUCkING PASSED???? ....pissed

Actually, it's two hours from here to the end of the road he was talking about. If gas prices bother you, buy a TDI Jetta. If you enjoy driving, quit bitching.

Applebees banned smoking in their resteraunts nationwide and lost money, according to a waiter I talked to there. They've lost bartenders because they could no longer to live off of tips. Their alcohol sales have plummeted. This was all because Applebees willfully banned smoking. I think that if this passes, many bars will go out of business. I'm not a huge fan of bars, not because of some moral issue, just because I don't enjoy the environment. So here's a fucking concept - I don't go to bars!! Besides, restaurants already have separate smoking and nonsmoking sections. Except for waffle house and bars, but people go there because they WANT that specific environment.

Saddam's little known past from before he became dick tatter

*cry* OMG, I'm an automotive enthusiast, but I can't STAND to drive 2 hours away to hit some of the best roads in the country! *sniff*

Browning, please start a new thread instead of cluttering up someone else's.

It has new oil. I don't know about the rest, I'll try and get ahold of my stepfather to ask him.

Took me an hour and 15 minutes to vote in Dublin. Which reminds me... VOTE AGAINST THE SMOKING BAN!!! I honestly don't care who you vote for for president, but please don't allow our local government to cripple our businesses from making their own decisions! In Dublin, it is Issue 12, don't know about other districts. If you don't vote against it, P Diddy is going to go to your house and murder you! or not...

what's the difference between the villager and the windstar, other than badging? I just thought that I had read somewhere about the collaborating, I was just wondering if someone knew for sure.

I don't remember how much the 05 weighs, but with the different cab configurations and whether it's 4x4 or 2x4 and I4 or V6, I would guess the lightest would be a bit over 3,000 and the heaviest around 4,500. It is NOT going to have a V8 (which makes me sad), BUT, the 4.0 V6 they are using puts out more power and torque than the big motor (inline 5) for the Colorado, or the 318 V8 in the Dakota's. Extended cabs are a huge plus in my book. I'll never buy another truck with just a regular cab. It's so nice to have that extra room. And as for towing, I would wait and see what they are rated at. An open trailer with a light car would probably be fine, but I wouldn't push it.

Ben, if you ever get into trouble there, let me know. Knowing a sergent on their police force is a great thing Keeping that in mind, I would have started some shit. My friend would have LOVED to have an excuse to forcibly remove ANY protester/activist/person loitering on CSCC property. I really wish I would have been there.

Yeah, the '05 Taco is the same deminsions as a Dakota.

I've got a 1995 Mercury Mystique for sale. This car is identical to the Ford Contour. This is my step-father's car, I'm just trying to sell it for him.

Any questions can be posted here, and if you are interested in looking at it, feel free to call my cell phone. 740-706-9524 *Note - I have NO CLUE what color this thing is.

I take joy in the thought of cancelling out your vote tomorrow.

The Dakota has been the only midsize for years, but no more. The new Chevy Colorado is a midsize, as is the '05 Tacoma.

So...if I move to Ann Arbor, and say that it's the biggest shithole in the world, and I hate it, and their sports team(s) suck, everyone will love me?

She likes the stick, doesn't she?

well, it's an inline 6, can't tell which side the intake is on so i'm not sure if it's a crossflow head or not I'm gonna guess ford 300CI?

Sure you can. The supercharger is a dealer option, not factory, and there is one available for nearly every toyota motor in production right now, including all of the trucks. The two wheel drive tacoma with a V6 is the sport model, which is only available with a manual, and the V6 4x4's are available with a manual. The V6 blower was out for years before the four cylinder one was available. The Tacoma V6 is standard in the Tundra, with the 4.7 V8 as an option. There is a blower available for that motor. However, no manual was designed for the V8. Chris - I still think you should have got a turbodiesel tongue.gif For as much towing as you do, there's no comparasin. For occasional light duty hauling/towing, I'm happy with my reliable compact truck that gets 27 miles per gallon

Yes, I did. It ran like shit for a few days, but then it was fine.

That news story was talking more about the quality of Nissan vehicles from the last few years, rather than the older ones that most of you seem to be talking of, with the exception of the Titan. SlowZ06 - I started my old carbed '87 Toyota 4x4 while the hood was submerged in water. Ran fine until I sold it with a burnt up clutch. And as for the comparison of Tundra's and TITan's - Look at ANY fullsize truck before the current era. Before the new "bigrig" Ram's, before the F-150's and Silverado's became round. The Tundra is the same size as any of those trucks. The Tundra has the same power, if not more than any 302 or 350 or 360 powered trucks of that era. So, why does everyone seem to think the Tundra isn't a fullsize truck? It's because the Big 3 have comparing penis sizes for the last decade, trying to see whose is bigger. Nissan saw Toyota finally get on board, and decided to follow suit, only making their attempt as hidious as possible, while screaming that their dick is the biggest. At least they went with a DOHC motor that puts out more power than the *base* V8 American trucks, while doing their best to emulate the same build quality used by the Big 3, but they apparently went too far. Wasn't Nissan and Ford in bed to build the current model Quest/Windstar minivans?

http://www.freep.com/money/autonews/nissan30e_20041030.htm looks like they aren't doing so great, but at least they are TRYING to improve. They know they have problems, but still have a ways to go to come close to the quality of other auto manufacturers *cough* Toyota *cough*

Ken = ownage shittalkers = the lose

Hitler was fucking brilliant. He was one of the greatest speakers since ancient Rome. He was VOTED into power, and everyone loved him. Children loved him, and were happily joining the Hitler youth. None of that changes the fact that he killed a LOT of people (hmm, kinda like Saddam, only no one likes Saddam).
