325i - My first 3-Series Experience

Fri, 15 Apr 2005 14:18:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I went to an event that GM throws called Auto Show in Motion. They rent a location bring 150+ cars and let you drive them on closed courses they set up. No one rides along, and you can pretty much take the cars to their limit. The track: Set...

The Best Things in Life aren't Freelanders

Wed, 11 Jun 2003 12:27:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I test drove this because I was sent an offer that if I did I would receive a free pair of Teva Hiki...

2003 4Runner - A Toyota Man Says, "No thank you."

Tue, 3 Jun 2003 18:48:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - OK, if you don't know this I'm very partial to Toyotas. This does not mean that I don't like other cars / trucks, it just means that if I'm going to buy something it will be a Toyota, probably. Kinda miffed about the fact there is no diesel offered in...

From Tundra to Desert, This is the Truck for Me!

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 17:00:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I'm going to be completely honest. I'm Phunk and I used to be a Chevy man. I know, I know, for a man to switch teams so late in the game of life is almost unheard of, but I couldn't help it.

Background: Back in December of 2001, we went...

The Pathfinder that Shouldn't Lose the Path in the First Place

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 08:36:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I just bought a 2001 Toyota 4-Runner. Before I signed the paperwork on it, I drove the 4-Runner to the nearest Nissan dealer and parked it right next to the P-finder. I also test drove them, one right after the other, on the exact same route. I went...

4-Runner 4 me

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 02:19:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I am a truck guy. I like the way the handle and the usefulness of them. Don't get me wrong, I like cars too, but I consider them more of a third car rather than something that's actually useful.

I was looking for an SUV for my wife. Her...

An Industrial Drill for the Home.

Mon, 21 May 2001 14:19:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I bought my Craftsman because I took on the brave task of building a privacy fence for my back yard. I knew that this would be a big task because I have never built a fence, unless you count barb-wire, before.

The fence had to run 160 ft. on...

A Decent Truck...Not Great

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 22:06:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I just got through renting a 2001 Dodge SLT 4X2 Ram 1500 Quad-cab. I had to rent it since my truck was broken into and I wanted to drive something that I would consider purchasing. I'm glad I did because it gave me a good chance to get to know the...

1999 Dodge Ram 3500 2WD: This is one nice truck!

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 22:04:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - OK, this is my dad's truck. It's not mine but I have done a lot of chores and driving in it. This truck is great.

Power: My dad's truck has the diesel and I think this truck could pull anything that a private person could have. We...

A Great Car

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 21:00:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I rented this car on a business trip and was surprised and pleased by how well built this car really is. It's a good solid car and well priced.

Power: This car is actually pretty peppy for a four-banger. The automatic tranny know...

A Car from the Gods?

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 21:17:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - All right, I finally did it. I have been looking for a weekend car or a Jeep for quite awhile. I was very torn between a Miata and a CJ-7. One has the rugged manly thing going on, and the other; the sophisticated style and performance of technology.

2000 Honda Civic 4 door: The King of Compacts

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 10:58:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I will start out boldly by stating it again, this car is the absolute king of compacts. There isn't a competitor out there that can even compare in complete package.

I test drove one of these as soon as the '00s came out. I was pretty...

It's Hip to be Rich

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 12:32:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - Austin is one of the most over-rated cities I have ever been to/lived in. The hype that this town gets is amazing and so misconstrued that it is shocking.

Ok, I moved there because of a job in 1998. I bought the hype and was really excited...

Is it a Mercedes?

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 11:46:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - All right, now that I'm married and we have a great dane, I have grown out of my regular cab Chevy. It has served it's purpose well and done everything I've asked of it, but there is just not enough room anymore.

Now being from Texas, I'm...

I Get to be First!!!

Sat, 1 Jul 2000 13:22:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I ordered my 1995 Chevrolet Silverado when I was living in Japan. This was my dream truck as a kid and it was to be my first new vehicle. I've had many more vehicles before then, but Epinions doesn't ask for opinions on the 1975 Buick Electra 225. I...

Fly the Angry, Bitter, Apathetic Skies

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 14:52:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - All right, if it comes to me knowing anything, it's air travel. I have flown overseas 20 plus times and have had more intra-national flights than I can count.

First, too many times, a problem with any airline gets blamed on the flight...

I'm going where?

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 14:03:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - OK, I had to admit that when I was told that my work was going to send me to Columbus, OH (!?) for a week I was scared. My mom lives in a small town near Omaha and that's exactly how I pictured it. A "cow town". Columbus turned out to be a...

Marble Falls: A Little Known Paradise

Wed, 17 May 2000 01:01:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - About a year and a half ago my wife and I moved to Austin because of a new job. My wife, being from a really small town in Arkansas, was very intimidated by it. I was excited because I've always loved the city and Austin had plenty to do.

Nice but not Cool.

Thu, 11 May 2000 14:23:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phunk - I am renting Dodge Stratus because one of our vehicles is in the shop. I have to say that I'm completely torn on whether or not I like it. The ES that I'm driving does have a very sporty appearance and I like the white gauges. The only thing I don't...
