My best friend (also a 7 owner) is a cop as well and pointed out something that im going to have to agree with
WTF is with the SHITTY *** laptop mounts you guys have? Nothing to support the screen of the laptop, he says sudden acceleration (if you can call it that
) and the freaking thing closes

no. no its not. but you can imagine what it would be like if it was. although i do get to enjoy the reactions of the other members of my department by driving a 7 to work in the summer. some liuke it, some are impartial to it. no one hates the 7 though.
whats with the mounts for the laptops...uhh..they're inadequate to say the least. my screen doesnt close when accelerating. the whole mount flops to the passenger side when making left hand turns... the acceleration on the cruiser is pretty good. i'm impressed with it. the car is good for 130mph and pulls very well until 120mph. just kind of seems to run out of steam at that point.

I drive a 2001 Honda Odessy... It sucks worth crap. But, while I am fixing up my 7, it helps me transport all the junkyard crap and metal shop crap back and forth. :P
Hopefully I may be driving my father's 05 Ford F150 doubleCab 4X4 thing is a beast! And I hate Fords Ussually. Only drawback is that its the size of a damn fire truck and colored the same!

I drive my '05 Jeep Wrangler normally during this time of year. I work in the city, but it turns on a dime in the parking garage - and being a manager, the other guys hate the fact that I can get to work in the snow It's slow, uncomfortable and loves to guzzle gas - BUT the last jeep I had went 284K miles, perfect compression and no issues...so I gotta go w/ what I know wont strand me. If I dont work, the 7 doesnt get paid.
Other than that, I have the Mazda Tribute (which I want to sell badly as I don't really need it anymore, any takers?)

And a really REALLY beat up 94 protege that is currently having electrical issues. It's my winter daily, until the stupid white stuff goes away, and I can drag my 7 out of the garage. Would post a pic of it but photobucket appears to be undergoing changes.

To work, my 1985 GSL
at work, either a 1992 Chev 3/4 pickup, or 2003 Chev S10, depending on what kind of radiators/oil-coolers and the like I need to pick up//drop off.
