    • That's kind of my point though. "any major city with federal buildings" and it certainly isn't the case. Again, I'm sure it is the case in some cities, but it isn't a blanket statement that's true.
    • Maybe, just maybe, that is because you don't live in a target city or state as designated by the lead moron in D.C. The same mechanisms exist in the Fed building across the street from you as does the one's in Seattle or Portland. Don't let complicity disguise the actually facts.
    • Reminds me of the mid 80's Monte Carlo Areo SS that I loved. Would love to have one as a project auto, but doubt I ever will as I would want it electrified. Moved into that next phase of life around grand kids. no time.
    • As weird as it sounds, I'd love to have a '77-79 Impala 2dr or Caprice 2dr as a hobby car.  Straight 6 or 305 would be fine...I've just always liked that rear window and the overall shape.   I really need to get back out to the PNW for a vacation...been a long time since I've been out there.
    • I wholeheartedly agree.  The '77 had the cleaner vertical bars with the stacked lamps as opposed to the '76's diamond hatch grill. Back then, there were a lot of options and not everything was put into strict and limited packages. It would have been nice to get the plush up-level interior, the gauge package, and a tilt wheel, yet not put on too many of the electric gizmos. On the exterior, those spirograph wheels are actually wheel covers, hence susceptible to sticky fingers. But they look mighty fine. Then, you'd need dual body colored sport mirrors to go with all that.  Pass on a vinyl roof. Now here's where I might be crazy.  I would just get the basic standard engine.  It was the 250 cubic inch inline 6 by Chevrolet.  Those have a 7 main bearing crank and they are in it for the long haul.  They purr differently than does a V8, but they were definitely smoother than the V6 (by Buick) of that day.  So that's a package that features the looks inside and out, but also has a simple and reliable DIY setup in the engine bay.  You'll just have to live with 105 horses.  People may honk at you! I'm glad you like this car.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on this forum who carries a big torch for the GM colonnades.  And that my detailed knowledge of them is nerdy! Happy hump day, folks.  It's also Whopper Wednesday.
