What color is your car, and what color do you wish your car was?

I have a black Mk5 GTI and I love it but I wish every day I'd gotten an orange one. I never saw one for sale and about a week after paying cash for this one, an orange one shows up on craigslist for about $1000 more. I'd pay that. Whatever my next car is, it will be orange, I won't stop looking until I get it.

You? And how do you feel about getting your car repainted and changing the color? I probably wouldn't do it, afraid it'd look obvious and drop the value.

Are girls more attracted by a car's design, power, or sound?

If you aren't strictly ONLY using Shell gasoline to fuel your automobile you literally do not care at all about your car at all and rightfully have no place posting on this automotive forum, or any other for that matter.

Hey, /o/

I'm trying to decide which hot hatchback to go for. Seeing as how new models are coming in soon, pricing is pretty competitive right now so I figured it was a good time to buy.

One thing to note is that I've got about 30k saved, but I really don't want to pay over 20k for either of these cars. I figure the new models coming in soon, and having some decent purchasing power as far as down payments, I should be getting a decent deal.

Which is the best value?

Focus RS ST1 (base)

or

Golf GTI S

The focus has more power, but the Golf has more features. Having a hard time deciding on this one.

I live in TX so these are the cargurus searches I've set up:

>07 chevy tahoe with 136k miles
>past few days ive been noticed the tranny doing something strange
>basically when it gets to like 3rd gear it will start revving really high to almost 4000rpm and wont shift to 4th but it WILL still accelerate albeit i think slower than it normaly would at 4k rpm so it isnt completely slipping i think


Is there anything i can do to fix it or at least make it last longer? new tranny is expensive as fuck
