I've heard most yellow-jokes...

doesn't bother me, as long as you don't get sore with me joking back

big bird, and suggestions that I was a delivery driver for 'chicken on the way' (a franchise that I don't think is in Alberta which uses yellow delivery vehicles) were the first two jabs...

bright colours are generally hate-em, or love-em...

providing that it works on the vehicle, I'm generally in the 'love-em' group

Kia's are much easier to drive in the cold... kinda smooths out the very touchy gas/clutch combo.

traitors opinions are not welcome here!

seriously though ~ touchy clutch & gas combo?

huh?

sorry, I haven't got a clue what you're talking about...

I've driven (mostly manual) cars which had anywhere from in excess of 400tf-lbs, to the GA which is somewhere around 160ft-lbs...

still clueless.


on a related note - I'm glad though that you're happy with your Kia!

My buddy Alex is talking to Kia about the balt now. He is going back tomorrow to maybe get it. Maybe someone new on the forums haha.

I took it for a drive when I found my car was totalled, I was seriously thinking about getting it cause I've missed it. But after driving it again, I didn't want it anymore. It was weird, it was like I finally got over breaking up with it . Anyways, it was weird.

So the hunt for a car is still on a few weeks later.

Hahahaha not at all.

Honestly, it was weird. It was like getting over a girl .

I had a lot of sweat and blood (maybe a couple tears) into that thing, then sold it and saw it get sold again. Honestly it broke my heart haha. If my girlfriend was reading this she'd think I'm an idiot .

Anyways, I missed it and finally got back in her to take it for a ride and just got over it I guess. I realized I didn't want to go back to FWD or the M62, or the Cobalt interior. Just the way the entire thing felt wasn't "me" anymore. It didn't feel like the the days I was in love with it.

Don't get me wrong, I still like the cars but I guess it just isn't for me anymore.

So you're saying you didn't care forthe SS/SC seats, or the M62 huh?

Time to look at a TC?

Lmao,

Find me an SS/TC Sedan and we might talk . I've been looking into getting a summer car and a winter beater. I like the LNF Solstice/Sky a LOT. It's like a RWD TC Balt!

Or a Trans am, I'd love me a LS1 T/A haha.

Ok, since T/A's (or Firebirds all together) have such a soft spot in my own heart, I'll let that slide with a resounding :twthumbs

I find the solstice is butt ugly car, if anything I'd personally go with the Sky, damn nice car. What I found surprising with them though, being as I like the fact that you can get a removable hard top, is that if removed there isn't enough trunk space to put it there so you have to leave it at home and hope for nothing but good weather
