except mine's black...

A moon rover?

I saw a used blue one on the used car lot a couple weeks ago and I'm coming around to the exterior design. I still haven't bothered to look inside. I'm afraid it might ruin all the progress I've made to accepting the exterior.

The weird rack on the top really takes away from it. Otherwise, it's kinda cool.

MY FUCKING RIMS SLOWLY LEAK AIR DUE TO THE CHROME FLAKING AROUND WHERE THE TIRE MEETS THE RIM. ITS SO FUCKING AGGRAVATING I WANT TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE.

Have fun paying for all the 91+ Octane fuel... Though I will admit it's not a bad lookin' ride. The three windshield wipers sold me.

Are you looking to hunt for soccer moms?

I think that's just a concept picture too...

yeah, that is a concept pic. this is more like it...

its my first brand new car so i'm totally faggin out about it.

It gets a spectacular four miles per gallon. Granted, that's highway miles, but still...

I think it gets better than that...

The look kind of reminds me of a turtle.

Those things don't look right to me at all.  Kind of like they were designed using Lego. 

They're based on their old predecessor:

i think the styling is definitely an acquired taste, but like asparagus, i like it.

mpg is 17/21....eh

I cut one of those off yesterday on purpose after it pissed me off....you weren't driving through Houston were you Angry? ;)

I like the look of this vehicle...it's fresh.

Oh, I wasn't knocking Imports...I agree with you. I own a Honda. It was the American in Angry that I thought would own a domestic vehicle.

It looks like a pregnant jeep.

The few I've seen on the highway have intrigued me, though.

I could have sworn I've seen that thing somewhere before... Oh yeah:

Damn, I thought this was going to be a thread about dildos.

i would like to buy american, but i don't feel as confident about GM's,  would never buy another ford, and i don't like the styling on the durangos. i briefly looked at the new nitros, but wasn't really impressed with em.

therefore i am now a traitor to my country as 100% of my vehicles parts and assembly took place in the land of the rising sun. yay!

If AMC were still around I'd buy into them (I lurves mah old Cherokee), but since Chrysler took it over Jeeps suck big floppy donkey dick.

Yep. My family had an old AMC Eagle for two decades and it ran like a dream with minimal maintenance the whole time. Great car.

AMC Pacer. 'nuff said.

Gimmie one of those old Javelins and I'm set.

The scout had some good looks for it's time

it looks kind of like a hummer. (the toyota not the weiner mobile.) remember when hummers used to be novel to see driving around? now they're commonplace. i don't even think twice when i see one anymore

that said, i'd take a fucking hummer in a heartbeat (for any of you ladies or HCRoyall listening) and i'd take that toy too. good choice with black. that sky blue one didn't do it for me

How's the visitbility in that thing? Every time I see one I wonder how those giant pillars at the rear affect rear quarter vision.

Congrats on your first new car.

thanks fuzzy

tha visbility isn't all i would like it to be, but i used to drive huge panel vans for a living so compared to them, the fj is like driving the great outdoors itself. and talk about a smooth ride...

javelins do fucking rock. the 301's they put in there screamed....

Hahaha, all the Javelins were was a chopped off Pacer with a V-8. Tis a shame AMC never really got the recognition they deserved and were bought up by DC.

are you sure?

The Javelin was introduced in 1968 and the Pacer in 1975. As far as I can tell they have no platform commonalities.

I blame The Man With The Golden Gun.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I thought of that... I recalled reading something where some pony car was nothing but a chopped off version of something else... Looks like it wasn't the Javelin/Pacer. No idea where that came from.

a gremlin maybe?

You're totally right, Angry American. I was thinking of the Gremlin. Dammit.

Grats on the new car. I'm a big fan of the boxy, but good style of vehicle, myself.

Yeah that Mercedes is sweet. The less aerodynamic the better.
