I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha.

Pontiac is a solid choice. The 3.8 v6 is a strong motor. I have a 99 Hyundai Accent with a 160,000 and is still going strong, but slow as fuk. Getting 36+mpgs.

x2 on the 3800 except when the coolant hasn't been changed regularly and the stock piece of shit dexcool chemically breaks down and starts to eat away at the intake manifold gaskets. my monte has that motor and its sipping on the coolant. which reminds me, i gotta check the overflow and top it off LOL. plus some of the transmissions attached to the 3800's are complete trash, like the 4t65e which is what mine has. 3rd gear is almost nonexistent because of the slow ass shifts when the fluid is warm/hot. a shift kit firmed it up though but its still bad sometimes.

edit: dat torque doe on the 3800. i love it lol. i break the front tires loose at a red light sometimes on accident with almost 160k miles.

This is true. Also remember that no car is gonna be perfect for 1500 and look around and dont buy the first thing you see.

There's a video somewhere on the internet of people trying to destroy a Cherokee, It fails, and the Cherokee still runs, after being crashed, jumped, and radiator come out I think. Still drives in the video, That XJ takes extreme abuse.

I would never buy a Neon. Had to do a starter on one and it was the biggest PITA!

Taurus is also good choice. Had a 95 and was my favorite car. Cheap and easy to work on, got good MPG, and plowed through snow like a champ. But are know to have a bad trans, but it you maintain it the car will out run the body.
