    I’m reading this from my 2010 Hyundai. Which should tell you what I’m interested in spending on a car, haha.
    But if you guys would be willing to pony up for a cause, I’ll take a sweet Giulia, thanks!

    This car was just TOO FUN to drive. I had dreams about driving this car decades after it was gone, dreams so vivid I'd have to look outside to make sure it wasn't parked out there...

    You can see the front of my 1970 Caddy Coupe DeVille behind the AMX...

    Thats sooo weird! I used to love Blazers. And just yesterday I thought I spotted a new one, and thought I’d look into it when I go car shopping.

    Aint nothing wrong with a Hyundai. My brother traded out of his Mercedes 280SLK into a Sonata, he will tell anyone who asks that the 2017 Sonata is a superior car to the Mercedes.

    He drives the wheels off that car, over 150K miles on it already and hasn't had a single problem with it. It's getting traded in soon but only because of mileage, and probably for another Hyundai.

    My wife wants a TrailHawk, which is essentially the Hellcat stuffed inside a Jeep Grand Cherokee LOL, we looked at one the other day they START at $90K. She's not that into it. Tne new Blazer looks kinda cool IMO.

    I've had 3 Blazers, all the older, full sized ones. A 1974, 1975 and 1977. Loved them all. The interior of the new Blazer looks a LOT like the interior of the Camaro.

    Hubby has a regular Grand Cherokee. It’s a nice car, but too big for me. Fits a lot on our trips to NH and Maine. And our daughter really pushes the limit on packing stuff.

    I agree; I’ve had very good reliability with the Sonata. But when I see all the features in newer cars, I feel like I’m missing out. It’s like donating a perfectly good sweater, just because my eye is wandering to a new one. 😊

    Here's another one I'm absolutely KICKING myself for selling, my 1980, 3/4 ton, 4x4 Silverado, LOADED and in great shape. Never, EVER been able to find another "3/4 ton, Silverado, 4x4" like this one, loaded, factory tach, carpeting, 400TH trans, tilt, a/c, pulse windshield wipers, P/W, P/door locks, the works. I wish I could have that truck back now. It was just begging for a 6" lift and a big block transplant, or an LS engine...

    I don't even feel like the GC has that much interior space for how big it is. We actually have a Dodge minivan as well and that thing is worth its weight in gold when it comes to making trips with a family.

    I AGREE about all the features on new cars. I love all the new electronics and gadgets. The Camaro and the new truck have internet. I have to pay for it but it's satellite, and built in navigation, lane departure alert, collision alert and automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, and the list just goes on and on... I love all that stuff, and the new truck doesn't have a "light bulb" on it. It's all LED, even has LED bed lights that are automatic. Open the tailgate and they turn on, and you can set them to either come on or not. The menu for settings goes on and on. Even has active noise suppression. It listens to road noise and omits opposing frequencies, so it's uncanny how silent it is going down the road. You don't hear anything outside, no wind, no tire noise, no anything, and the big Bose sound system with sub woofer sounds awesome. Course those things are common on new vehicles.
