    It makes it so much easier for us to talk on our cell phones, eat, and check e-mail on our wireless PDA's while driving.

    Can you imagine trying to do all that and shift at the same time??? :eek:

    well i dont agree with that. American cars have some "mysticim" true, and the engines are very reliable but apart from that they dont have much quality, engines are HUGE but not very powerfull, they spent a lot of gas, cars with about 150-200hp have similar performances of an "european/japonese" car with about 100-150hp and the one thing i dont like it most is there handling it sucks.

    But the jeeps are pretty good :)

    PS: notice i´m talking about general american cars, of course there are a lot of exeptions, and i completly understand the reason of the differences bettween american vs european car (large roads huge distances vs smar roads, hilly terrain, small distances)

    Well the jeeps are very solid
    They have a lot of luxery and are very spacy on the inside.
    If you ever drove a hummer, you'll know what i'm talking about ;)
    It's like driving a big monster truck and you feel very safe inside

    The only negative is the fuel price :eek:
    But than again fuel isn't that expensive in the us as it is in europe

    What? No, lol what the hell kind of question is that? :D

    Yeah I'm going to pimp it out once I get the money. It has a good sound system; I don't think I need subs so they're really at the bottom of "my list".

    I'm aiming for some gold-plated rims - just gotta find out where to buy them and how much they'll cost. Oh, and a radar is going to be a must. :D:D

    Ahh you gotta get some subwoofers installed. Its like a must for people our age (16 thru like 20's) Im getting 3 12 inch AudioBahn Subwoofers installed in my 06 civic (being installed next week). On the topic of rims i wouldnt suggest getting gold plated rims, they just look ugly to me. Im getting 20's (which is the biggest i was told that would fit) with sum low profile tires, there going to be around 2 grand which is alot but i think its worth it...

    It's good to see a young American male not going for one of those whiney little Civics or Scion toaster on wheels. :D

    I'm planning on getting some gold-platted rims, super-charging my engine (hoping to make it 400 horsepower to compete with my friend), and maybe subwoofers. :D:D:D:D
