damn... one of my ex-girlfriends used to say: 'fat and happy' funny, most of time she wasn't either... soon to be gone

this one? i used it for so long... i know it caught ccowden's attention and got me some some free items from badfish. he-he

dude I don't really want to get into that, except to say that from what I know, he had no illusions about the path he chose and the risks it held. I respect any person who sees that and does not let it hold them back. It is people like that have explored and expanded the boundaries of our world and abilities through history and people like that which will carry on doing so in the future. soon to be gone

As least it's not as obscenely hideous as the Element.... Although, my buddy thinks the Element looks good. I guess it takes all sorts.... Funny how the Element caught on with an older market than what Honda aimed it at I beg to still differ with you here. I know of no place in the world except for North America that it is deemed necessary to have a dual rear wheel 'truck' (looks like overgrown pick-ups to me), with a monstrous twin turbo 6+ litre diesel engine, to haul any kind of trailer that does not require a horse (as in the horse-and-trailer type of trucks). As for body on frame types for specialized bodies (catering trucks, roadworks, etc.) - using a pick-up truck layout and scaling it up (a la F350, F450 etc.) is a very inefficient use of space. Just compare a European-market truck with equivalent load-space and capacity and towing capabilities and you will see how much more space efficient the layout used is. This goes for larger trucks too. If you've ever seen an Iveco Turbo Daily in the body on frame configuration you will know what I'm referring to. You will find they do wonders with a 'measly' 2.5 litre turbo diesel engine - and that is in countries where the highway speed limit is significantly higher than in North America. Because they do not need to. (another case in point - compare my brother's 1.6 litre DOHC Civic to a 3.8 litre V6 Pontiac Grand-Am I had hired a while back.... the Civic performs better at less than half the engine displacement) With the efficiency they (and most European and Japanese auto manufacturers) achieve with their engines means they never have to match the average North American auto manufacturer's engines on displacement Herein lays the truth about the psychology of so many buyers in the North American vehicle market - they are insulted by something different - so stifling progress and keeping tradition just for the sake of it, even when it serves no functional purpose... Which is why North American Auto companies rebadge (or facelift and rebadge) imports as domestics.... I'm not always sure that's good thing, as the quality of North American produced vehicles have historically been lower than the same vehicle manufactured elsewhere. Case in point - Ford Focus. [Reply]I'll get off my soapbox for now. I only posted this because I was excited about the vehicle being officially announced so that I could brag about it (to the extent that we officially describe it ). Please check it out with an open mind. No need to step down yet, I can see why you are excited about the vehicle this thread got very interesting to me as it developed. I always try to keep an open mind, I just have different experiences and a different frame of reference, therefore my point of view is different. soon to be gone

looks like some 'Element' styling in there.... will they make a duallie with some engine that rightfully belongs in a tugboat, like the big 3 do? (like anyone actually needs something like that...) Civic Nation - represent! soon to be gone

is that a nomination for CrazyIvan ? come on, make it official, rightclick on his avatar/icon, save it and then attach it to a post nominatig him... and unleash the power of the dork force.... soon to be gone

Zeemax - sure, change it and get in the running early for 2004! sunshine – I’m sure the winner will give credit where it’s due, with a tear-jerking acceptance post, going something like: ‘I’d like to thank…… ….. you love me, you really love me! *sob, sob, sob* (tears of joy) I hope someone has asked the bytch to post her pantz….. taln1rigr – thanks, pic much appreciated, slightly less impressed with my new name.. everyone else – let’s keep ‘em coming! soon to be gone

looks like we're up to 19 nominated icons, excluding the smile one that VanillaSkyGirl should supply soon...

whatever..... soon to be gone

yeah, real cool..... 'fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity' imagine all the money and time spent through the ages on killing each other being used for bettering our world instead.... jumps tickets could be $5 or less and every plane will be a turbine! soon to be gone
