Putting a car in first while you are driving slow is not bad for the transmission, I did it all the time in the Camaro I had.

Yeah, that seems dumb on dodges part. The screaching is your starter hitting the flywheel while it is spinning. I'm assuming you have to come to a complete stop to start the car again?

Most chevy full sizes are limited to 105...

I'd say some 18's or 19's would be sweet.

I wonder if the 6S can get to 140. Sure the speedo shows 150 but that takes lots of horsepower for those type of speeds. I just don't know if 220 hp is enough for 3200 lbs.

Will the wheels from the mazdaspeed protege fit the mazda 6? We have a silver s and I think those would look pretty slick on it.

Governors suck! 145 in my Camaro till I chickened out. That was in 5th gear with a whole 6th to go. I probably could hit 160 if I wasn't a wuss.

We were able to get our mazda tribute for 308 per month on a 48 month lease with 15k a year. We traded it in after 30 months with 48k on it. Took a small beating...

Can you believe when we were working the deal we told them no more than $308 per month for our lease. They came back with a number of $575-$625 per month for 66 months and $1500 down with 12000 miles per year? After another hour we were down to $329 per month with $1500 down at 60 months with...

I've always heard that a bad cat spells like rotten eggs from the sulfur. I asked the dealer about it and he said it goes away, just like most here said... The idiot dealer ordered us the wrong car. We ordered the Bose system and it just came with the regular one. They tried to cut us a check...

LOL! We usually let it shift itself back into first due to whiplash. It is good if you want to keep the rpms, I just think it shifts a little too slowly.

Maybe everyone can help with this one. We finally got our car but it didn't have fog lights. We convinced them to install them for us along with the bose system. Can you get the lower fog lights on a 6s with the sport bumpers?

That sounds like it. Thanks for the reply. Too bad it isn't a real sport though. :(

I just called the dealership and they said it has the front and rear bumpers from the sport but it isn't the sport. I hope it has the different instrument display!

Can you get the different ground effects without getting the sport package though? They were quite adament about not getting us the sport package because there were no rebates on it.
