2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4
-love the jeep, works wonders in the snow, but i spent way too much money on repairs, especially brakes and Jeep didnt help me out either. they knew there was a problem, but told me that it was just how it goes-

Volvo S80
Spent a ton of money buying this car, but its good to know that i'll probably survive the majority of wrecks i will hopefully never encounter.
European style, very reliable and literally problem free. I am a little worried now that Ford bought out most of Volvo, but lets hope the quality of these cars dont suffer.

What year is your S80? You like it? I've been looking into purchasing a first-gen S80 (the 99-03 class).

WJ Brake problem with the front end, yes? There's a new caliper kit you can buy to supposedly fix the warping but I've heard mixed results. If you plan on keeping the car for a while, I think slotted rotors do better in the front end of the WJ.

Damn right!

Isuzu makes the Chevy Colorado, and overseas they offer a diesel engine which I would trade for in a heartbeat.

Heck ya. The truck I really wanted to get ahold of here was the Toyota Hilux truck 4door diesel. Unfortunately, life and limb were the cost :x

I have a.... um... a green car. I think it's a Chev Cavalier POS or something. Sh*t, I better go out behind the garage and check to see if it's still there...

Thanks to the clean diesel we're getting in the US at the end of next month, there should start being more small diesels sold in the states :)

i only have a '94 Mazda MX-6. the one w/ the 2.5 liter engine instead of the 2.0

it has crappy suspension, and i don't wanna spend money on it other than maintenance, so i don't take it to the canyons. it's just my commuter.
