  1. I was thinking put the lid back on and save it... you never know when you'll have touchups
  2. being descented helps, but they still never smell very good. I've also heard that it's a good idea to have them in pairs... my sister had 2 back in the day and when the one died, the other one died shortly afterwards... (didn't have a disease or anything... just old)
  3. 15.4 widescreen (laptop) I have dual 22 inch monitors at work.
  4. yes, BUT, my car was the FIRST BATCH of a completely new body style and motor... My car was built in early '03 and was an '04 model. I think mine just might be a lemon with issues that is typical in early line up cars. Tim, I am tending to agree with you about the resale... but the Altima is just so much nicer... everything I've read, they have lower cost of ownership... and their resale value is pretty good as well.
  5. The reason why I'm considering it is because I'm on my 4th transmission... my warrenty is now up.... anything happens to it again... guess what, that's 3500 dollars out of my pocket. The Power Steering just went out, and I have a coolant leak also... it just doesn't make sense to keep this car. I'm luckily out of negative equity in the car and I can at least break even on trade-in which is good. I thought about a couple year old Accord or something along those lines, but they are almost the same cost as buying new. (I test drove an '08 Accord EX for 18,000...) just doesn't make sense to pay 14-16 when I can get a new one for 2k more.
  6. I plan on the Accord and Civic... might as well add the Fit into the mix.

    why would you pierce the ears of an 11 month old?
  8. I paid like 250 or 300 and had a Maaco special on my old Maxima... they did a good job... I would recomend going there over Kevin unless you are wanting to spend 2k on a paint job.
  9. Anyone know any good Honda or Nissan Sales people that they have had good experience with?
  10. an economy car is not big enough for my needs. I thought about the 4 door Civic, but it was a bit cramped for me. I have to haul around a 10 year old, my 80 lbs lab and the old lady, so a Civic or that type is not feesable.
  11. been there, done that... HORRIBLE gas mileage... I drive mostly freeway and still get about 300'ish miles on a tank of gas and it costs me 60 or so dollars to fill up
  12. ya, I looked at the Malibu, (haven't test drove it though) they just don't compete with gas mileagle... and you can't get dual climate control unless you go with a top end version and a V6
  13. I have an '04 GP and I have no rattles or anything... my only real complaint is the gas mileage and the transmissions in this car are crap... oh and the fact that I've had my PS pump replaced twice and it's whining again and the steering knuckle is clunking again... The Accord was redesigned this year, so I really need to test drive it decide about the windshield and the rattles.
  14. so I'm thinking about getting a new car that is more economical. so far, I'm interested in the Altima and the Accord... both '08 models and 4cyl. Does anyone have any opinions on either one? I test drove the Altima today and really liked it although it seemed a bit underpowered and I wasn't overly impressed with the CVT tranny. Anyone like any other 4 door cars? the required is 4 door MUST get good gas mileage dual climate control... fairly inexpensive reliable other than that, I don't care. I can pick up both cars for invoice which is right around 20'ish.
  15. they talked about him and I didn't see anything about his record
  16. +1 that place was nice. Also, look into Peter's Island... from what I've read, you won't be disappointed.
  17. Scott, you better abort then!
  18. wow, so much hostility... guess it's from working at a pizza place all your life I'm 82 years old... I can mis-read a zero from time to time
  19. man, now I'm wishing I wouldn't have sold you my old starmate
  20. wait, are you saying that people take you seriously now?
  21. dude, I need to be a chiropractor. obviosuly good money and tons of downtime. although I can't say much, I make good money and I've obviously been online most of the day as well
  22. What I'm trying to figure out if Rick had the day off or had no patients since he seems to be on top of replies
