Ford Australia investment could spawn next Crown Vic {Autoblog}
May 7th 2006 5:34PM I think one of the reason the new GTO failed is the price. A 1964 GTO will sell for around 18-19K in todays dollars, I would think GM could boat loads of a stripped down V-8 RWD car with a manual for under 18K.

Mar 28th 2006 5:10PM I have to drive one of these every day at work. The only thing great about them is that they beat walking, they can carry 1500 lbs and a long battery life of about 2 hours at top speed of 24 mph, but thats they the only thing good about them. The body is made of pastic is easly broken and the doors are just worthless, are to open and sometimes don't close. But I guess they are just a fancy golf cart...but a bit faster and thats it

Is D-I-Y wrenching D-O-A? {Autoblog}
Mar 1st 2006 9:11PM I have been saying this for years, and the reason is that working on your own cars means that you have to take it to the dealers to fix a simple problem, such was headlights. The reason is that dealers wanted a new way to make a profit (and so did the car makers), so they made their cars impossible to work on by the owners in fact the owner manuals don't even show any more how to check your fuilds nop more. One side effect is that many mechanics are leaving the automotive field because the cars are just getting harder and harder. This issue is more on the high-end Imports right nowm, and its working its way down...But this is where the domcistes have a the upper hand (somewhat) is that the big 2.5 are somewhat easier to work on and troubleshoot
