hey I actually like the new corolla S... if I were buying a new car today, it'd be on my top 5, along with a mazda 3, toyota echo, scion xA, and then either a Toyota Prius or a Honda Insight

i just realized what you said. the 4.3L is a stock S-10 engine (thats how it handles that much power, it is stock). i was saying transplant the 4.3 to a 240z. now, the 240z is the original iteration of the Z car line. so the 4.3 would be much more powerful than the stock 4 cylinder out of it. i have even seen 350s swapped into 240Zs.
to my knowledge the 240Z had a I6 , the 240Sx had the 4banger... big diff there in both years and cars tho both from same company
yes, you're right. i stand corrected. but the 4.3 is more powerful than the 240 stock L6.

we just bought a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. nice car, really like it.

later

I don't know what it is about Jeeps, but Jeep drivers are the worst on the road in my experience...
they drive the fastest, for sure, and they also tailgate and swerve all over the road like they own it and how dare you get in their way...
Maybe way over there in SC it's different, but we've sure got a bad rash of 'em around here..

i haven't noticed Jeep drivers being bad in particular. alot of people buy a vehicle so big that they can't handle it, but jeeps aren't that big. i dunno, the only problems i have with jeeps, is when the owner jacks up a wrangler so high that his headlights are in my eyeballs.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Cars (and bikes), they're so bittersweet, such amazing machines, yet they take up every bit of free time and so much money!
