Yeah...but, It's an engine that doesn't 'return your love' meaning that despite good care, about now they fail emissions at an alarming rate (in CA is the worst) and AC issues are legion. Plus, the late 90's ones were somehow more fragile than 91-94's for some odd reason.
I had a well taken care of engine that after passing 100,000 miles it would fail emissions, also the alternators were faultier than average (mine went thru 5 in a 15 year period) . And the radiator fans are another common pain-in-the-ass. My engine was strong, stock and bone, always OEM parts, New timing belts at 80K, 160K, new spark plugs, the works, but it would fail the last 3 inspections in a row (6 years) and had some expensive AC coolant leaks, despite replacing parts there... It's an easy engine to tune upwards, but it blows up easily if you dont know what the hell you are doing. (Kids, a V6 Supra or Nissan engine ain't the same as a Mitsu, stupid idiots) I had to sell it at 170K miles, I think it could've easily reach 200K, if there were no emissions test to worry about.
Funny thing is, there is no other engine to replace the V6 GT version 222hp or the VR4 Twin Turbo 320hp....because the engine put a lot of torque at a very early range. The car is so heavy its needs this. You couldn't put, say an Evolution's engine in there. The torque range is too high for the size of the car. I would've died for a VR4, I once found the 'unicorn' VR4-Spyder and tried to buy it, but that was at the beginning of the credit crunch. No deal.... sigh....
I never had the pleasure to drive the (pre-chubby) Galant VR4 edition (The grandaddy of the Evos). That car oughta be a blast.
Still have it. Problem is, it has been my daily driver for the last 6 months. Now I'm at 115K, still strong.
What's the problem Jag?? Why so scared? Are your VW Phaeton maintenance bills influencing this decision?
Are you kidding? They can squeeze at least 3 episodes out of this innuendo. Unless they do 'Cajun Ancient Aliens' where they speak with a Louisiana Patois.
Hmmm. What about Farscape?? Sure it took years but we did get 'The Peacekeeper Wars' and for that I am eternally grateful.
No time, but please someone get a pic of the Awful mods that Stallone did to his VW Phaeton. Yikes!
Dunno if" Hercules is by far Disney's darkest movie" For dark in Disney, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is much more closer to the original story. Much more sadder and dark, and no, Quasimodo does NOT end up with Esmeralda.
Finally. We can have freedom of religion! Those who believe in the Force can have their own planet vs. Star Trek fans vs. Galactica vs. Firefly - It will be awesome.
However, the second they invent good sex robots all bets are off - No need to explore anymore to impress women (or men).
Actually, if you want a scary Sci-Fi movie disguised as a comedy, go watch 'Idiocracy' There's no a day it goes by when something doesn't make me think of the movie.
Biggest POS car ever...bought an 84 Alliance in 1992, and by then, in the south, no one knew how to repair it. Mine blew 2 heads in 1 yr of painful ownership when I was in college. Sure it did 52MPG, hybrid technology = Your busted renault engine + the tow truck pulling your car. By the way, the car only had 68,000 miles when I bought it.
Wait a minute all y'all: We ain't done yet. Don't forget the Original Gangsta:
Volkswagen Phaeton W12. The extended warranty is now $8,000 and only available for cars under 50K miles... god have mercy on your soul if you have one without any extended warranty whatsoever.
Hmmm. Its hard to make the case that Technology doesn't put your privacy at risk. Sure, you can move the 'goal posts' by re-defining what privacy is as it was done in the article IMHO, but I think that's a fallacy. Even those who need to remain private and anonymous (e.g. Rebels in Syria and Libya) can eventually be unmasked via network analysis.
Also, the author proposes 'disposable identities' but fails to mention companies like Google using Google+ refuse to let you use a pseudonym. So I really don't agree with the overall argument of the article. Its nit-picky and redefining basic stuff like privacy doesn't do any one any good.

Is it just me or does the V12 Zagato Aston looks a lot more like a Nissan GT-R by Zagato? It is beautiful but it looks to me like a GT-R with the stylin' done right, no?
You gotta measure it in MylittlePonypower?
LOL!!! Think Happy Thoughts!
Honestly, that's because they were horrible pieces of shit. I found one for $500 last year and I dared Murilee to run it in LeMons...he was obviously horrified at the prospect. The next to die and be extinguished forever should be the Renault Alliance
What about 'The Tick'? Ive always suspected mild retardation.
The issue no one wants to talk about are the car-priests that abused little LeCars, Subaru Brats, and even some Minis. No justice, No peace!
Jason, thanks dude for the memories. This movie is AWESOME. Had it on VHS. and then DVD. You forgot to mention that it had Patrick Stewart there! Really creepy and cheesy. But the writing was solid, closed to reality. Why the UK never did their own space shuttles beats me. But I could totally believe they would name their shuttle the 'Churchill'
