i have a question if anyone is going to watch this new fear factor episode can you take some screen shots of it i would like to save them to my computer.
I'm gonna sign up for one of these missions where they want you to wreck the Camaro, and then right in the middle of the mission I'll rip off my blindfold, hit the passenger eject button, do some donuts, and drive off into the sunset saving the Camaro.

Hopefully the frames were cracked and all useable parts were either gone or destroyed.
Plus, our cars all just got a little more rare. Good thing or bad?

eh they can get these cars cheap, paint them yellow and they look like nice sports cars. What do you want them to do? Grab and ugly *** mustang and paint it yellow? it would look like grandma's car.

they just want something affordable that can also haul......thats what thirdgen's are all about..... i remember i was watchin an episode where the hade couples....one was driving blindfolded and the other was giving directions and they had to drive onto a moving ramp truck....to make a long sotry short one guy went up the side of the ramp and was on 2 wheels driving next to the ramp truck for like 15 seconds and he brought it back down onto 4 wheels......it was sweet!

I can only see it somewhat as a compliment..i hate seeing them get destroyed, but they have to choose them for a reason...they're durable, cheap, and handle/perform well

Oh come on now...Saab's aren't that bad... Anymore.
Check out the new 9-2x....it's the Saabaru! If only it wasn't a damned wagon. The 9-3 linear isn't bad either.

I'm just glad 3rd gens are getting some exposure again.

First of all, this is getting off a topic which wasn't even really detailing and appearance related to begin with
Second of all, I'm in Volvo's training program right now so I'm locking this.
No one likes a Volvo? You're mistaken. You must be thinking of the old ugly ones. Check out the S60-R
