I came across this article talking about orphaned cars and thought they were really interesting! For one thing, I didn't realize that a couple of these brands aren't being made anymore. The amphicar looks really cool, too!

I have actually never purchased a brand new car - and the longer I go without, the less I want to. Newer cars are made to crumple and be totaled in an accident, and I prefer something built to last!

I can relate! We were in our 15 passenger Ford Club Wagon in that wind, and it really pushes the van around the road! It's a bit scary!

There is speculation that the rivalry between Nissan and Chevy regarding their electric vehicles could distract car buyers, possibly causing fewer purchases than they had hoped.

If you have $5.5 million to spend and are in the market for a car, you might be interested in buying the Aston Martin that Sean Connery used in "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball". They're selling it by auction.

We have full coverage for two adult drivers and three vehicles, and it runs us about $70/mo. We do get discounts with our provider that help.

We rarely have so many people in a station that a line *needs* to form, so it's pretty much a moot point, I guess. Since there's usually ONE pump empty, the next person pulling in will just take that pump, regardless.

I noticed I hadn't seen any Saturn dealers, but didn't realize they were totally out of business. When did that happen? I guess I'm out of that loop!

Yes, I usually do. It's a good baseline to start from to know how much a vehicle is worth. Some are worth more than KBB says, and some less, but it is usually in the ballpark.

The main highways around here only go up to 70, but that's fast enough for me. What I can't imagine is the Autobahn - 200 mph! Although, I've heard they've reduced the limit recently.

I prefer Southern Gospel, personally. I also like some contemporary stuff (like Steve Green and Michael Card and such). I really like GLAD's a capella albums.

With cars, I think they usually test them pretty thoroughly before releasing them to the public. My reason for waiting is the same as Alexus - they cost too much. I'll probably eventually get one second-hand, if any make it to used car lots!

In general, compromise is often necessary. Politically speaking, there are a lot of things on which we should not compromise. Our rights, as given by the Constitution, for example, should NEVER be compromised away.

Toyota has always been a quality car. I have a friend who had a Toyota when he was in college, for about five or six years. It was already old when he got it, and he held it together with duct tape and baling wire, but it kept on chugging!

It will, of course, depend on at what point it turns on. If your car has two gallons of gas left when the light comes on, then you can probably go 20-30 miles (depending on your gas mileage) before it dies completely.

The new 2011 Chrysler 300 has been spotted on the streets and it has not yet been launched. It was seen in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The article has some pictures of the vehicle, as well.

I think the fact that so many people need to go farther than public transportation is set up to go means that people NEED cars, and therefore sales cannot stop completely. It just makes sense that they'd be selling cars again in greatly populated areas.

My first car was a Pinto! I loved that car. It was reliable and a workhorse. I wouldn't mind having one like it now, if I had few enough people to ride in it.

If it is only your brother who is not cooperating, then perhaps you could keep a notebook in the vehicle and each person can log their starting number, ending number and destination - and the person driving after him can note that the missing miles were his.

On the other hand, Honda DOES make the Gold Wing, which is more of a touring bike. They seem like they would be pretty comfortable for going long distances.
