I really like the new Durango, which is a more agressive version of the Jeep, however I read that the dated auto tranny is crappy, and that the next model ('12?) will have a brand new 7 spd auto that is much better at delivering the Hemi power. I will be waiting to see that...otherwise, seems like a great improvement. And yea, gas mileage...obviously make sure you have done the math at $5 a gallon.

Cool I am near Tuttle...

Hello everyone. I am new to the site and pretty excited to get involved and talk with others in town that share the same interest of being pretty obsessed with cars. I would consider myself fairly knowledgable with cars, however I am pretty new when it comes to actually doing the work myself- although one of my main goals is to be able to work on my own cars. I have been in Columbus my whole life- grew up in Gahanna, went to OSU and did the campus thing for a long time, and now I live in a condo on the NW side of town. I am 28 btw. My car history is as follows...I'll make it clear that since I was about 13 and my buddy's older brother got a new WS6 I have been a huge Camaro/Firebird guy. If I could have gotten one at 16, I would have, but....I bought a 2000 Civic SI brand new, owned it for 7 years, drove it pretty hard, and it was an awesome car for my age. I sold it in '07 and bought a 2007 MazdaSpeed 6 turbo. I was traveling a lot, and needed a bigger car that was still fun to drive. You should see the pic of that below. I owned that for 3 years, but in the meantime I bought a house, and decided I was done making big car payments. I sold the Mazda last July. I immediately bought my 1996 T/A. I prefer the 98-02, but wanted low miles so had to get a '96 in my price range. I found it with only 49,000 miles in spectacular condition. I imagine it has probably been restored, but I prefer to believe that it has always been stored in a garage and driven 25 mph like I was told, HA. See pics below. And with the cash leftover, my daily driver is the awesome 1992 Accord you also should see- if I figured out how to post the pics. I am now free of car payments, and plan to slowly mod the T/A into the beast it can be. I don't plan on racing it much yet, but I love to drive it around on a sunny day, and after I do some mods, will probably want to go to NTR. Car is bone stock except for the CAI I just installed, and a flowmaster muffler. Thanks for reading, and hope to get to know y'all. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/titleistcm/IMAG0127.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/titleistcm/mazda1.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/titleistcm/IMAG0228.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/titleistcm/IMAG0216.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/titleistcm/IMAG0215.jpg
