A big, luxury car is the first thing many people buy when they are successful. For example, Elvis bought Cadillacs and John Lennon bought a Rolls-Royce. I've got news for you... those little, cramped cars can cause backaches even to those under 40 years old.

I've not heard of that station but your going WAY off topic anyway. Try to stick with the subject. Thanks.

Again, to each his own.

I am over fifty, love small cars, since I am in good shape I have no problems.

I will leave the floaty boats to drug addicts like Elvis.

Now, a Rolls would be OK, but I would still drive the fun cars WAY more often.

The reason I threw that in there, is just like Fox News, you seem to leave no room for any other opinion.

You like big cars, fine.

I like small ones, but you continue to bash my opinion.

Just like Faux News.

I'm done.

You forget... I also like muscle cars, which aren't big.

I still haven't heard of that station so I'm done, too. I have heard of Fox News which leaves room for many, many opinions as these hosts or frequent guests shows:
- Juan Williams
- Geraldo Rivera
- Susan Estrich
- Geraldine Ferraro
- Harold Ford Jr.
- Alan Colmes
- Lis Wiehl
- Bob Beckel
- Ellen Ratner
- Ellis Henican
- Al Sharpton
- Mara Liasson
- Mort Kondracke

Fleet,

I am in no way attacking you, but I am perplexed here. Your title says:

"Fox News Rules"

However, you claim you never heard of them. That is like me claiming I have never drank alcohol before. Look at my username and you will see the irony.

I thought you would have understood...
I have heard of Fox News; I choose to ignore those who use that wornout, silly phrase which some people use who can't accept the fact that there is a non left-leaning news station.

Just like those who think todays cars won't be classics of the future. Everything will become classic someday simply because things change and todays cars will be very different from what will be had in the future.
If todays cars will be worth anything in the future, it will be very little.

The only reason why 1970's automobiles are worth so much now is because the ever increasing prices of 1964-1972 muscle cars have driven the price of everything else up.

Also I believe any car that is RWD will excel in value before FWD. I believe because they're now looked at as alternative hot rods.
