I just found this. Does anyone think I could get Tammy to agree with getting it?? 68 Camaro It would go so nice with my 71 RS/Z28 and the Skylark. I just need a much bigger garage.

Thanks to all who made it possible. B) Especially to Z. for sending me the link. Yeah, that's why my phone just rings,Josh. :D

My girlfriend is looking into an Acadia, Fly, or someone in Florida, could you tell me what an Acadia is going for? She is looking for an SLT-1 with Skyscape and leather. no DVD, or Nav. We want to see the difference in price betwen Florida and NY. THe reason being we plan on moving to Fl at some point and are debating whether it would be more cost effective to wait to buy and Acadia in FL, vs. NY.

Working on building the top landing for the walkway I've posted pics of before, I smashed the crap out of my left index finger between a deadblow hammer and a piece of flagstone. I now know the meaning of "exquisite" pain.

I found these pictures online today while doing a little surfing and wanted to share them here (not that many will care! ): If anyone wishes to buy me this as a belated birthday present, let me know and I'll send you the address of where the truck is and the address to my driveway!!!

Happy Birthday to Mr. sciguy 0504!

Let's see what type of responses I get... Fags kill people everyday. And as only a fag might say, "flame me." I'll message back after one hour or 15 new messages, whichever comes last.

The first electrical appliance turns 100 years old November 16, 2005 It came after the electric light and before radio, television, microwave ovens, blenders, juicers, computers - indeed, it was the first electrical appliance to populate the home and one of only a handful of devices in history to achieve ubiquity in advanced nations. Interestingly, although it turns 100 years old this year, it can still be found in more than 90% of American homes. As the first electrical appliance, this also means we are now celebrating 100 years of electrical appliances. Oh, and by the way, can you guess what it is? Now toast is not new, first having become common about 5,000 years…

went to a classic car auction this weekend with my day and saw a few nice cars and some... well not so nice. some of the cars not seent so much and two that were down right rare. on a side note got to meet David Pearson too, very interesting fellow. first up is a 1957 pontiac safari chiefton station wagon. had three row seats and airconditioning. i must say never seen a pontiac station wagon in person, prolly wont see another in a long time. the second is a 1969 buick GS california. 350 with an automatic on the column. enjoy.

For more realstic driving games, nothing beats Forza or Gran Turismo 4 for me. On the unrealstic side of things, I've recently re-hooked myself on Twisted Metal: Black. Everything about that game is just so sick (figuratively and literally). B)

So, my mom calls me at work today. Someone rear-ended her in her Cobalt while she was stopped at a red light. I wrote an estimate for $3200+. Dumbass said he reached down for a pen and didn't see her stopped, along with the rest of traffic at the light. Thing is, we fixed the dumbass' Forester less than 6 months ago, when he pulled out in front of someone and ripped the whole side out of it. We will be fixing his car again, as well, but I haven't seen it because the tow company (they knew where the car will be fixed) DROVE DIRECTLY BY our bodyshop to take it to their storage lot, so they can collect storage... UNTIL MONDAY. When I called the tow company and asked th…

BeeVee-BeeVee sat on a chairee. BeeVee-BeeVee looked at his PeeCee. BeeVee-BeeVee noticed it was frozee... againee. BeeVee-BeeVee then threw the f**ker out his f**king windowee!!! Why, hello there. I have some unfortunate news for you all. BV has gone off the deep end. I hear that his PC pushed him to it. It always gave him a hard time. Please keep an eye out for him, anyways. He has gone crazy and is likely to freak out at any of you. If he does, here is a dart gun. Use it for its purpose only if he does. Be careful. As he runs through the forest, he yells and screams for the pain to stop. He can't stand the feeling as he trips over a log. He falls whi…

... has the company built since Day 1?? Googled the question, saw one estimate of 500 million. Don't know if that source was GM or if GM even has an accurate count. Overseas markets and the confusion of partial brand ownership, etc in the latter half of the Company's history may make a comprehensive tally a challenge. All the years from the Sloan book referenced below are CALENDAR year sales. These numbers are less common than model year, and it makes the transition to those more readily-obtainable numbers inaccurate for that switch-over. 1909 : 32,311 (fiscal year ending 09.30.09 plus 3 months ending 12.31.09) ~ My Years with General Motors, Alfred P Sloan…

Figured I'd share the doings of mine from the past month.

No, not the N-Body Classic...this is a true classic...or in this case a true blue classic. WOW...what a ways we've come since the 1970s with regards to interior packaging...some "midsizer" lol those things are looooooooooooooooong It's a 4-dr...and therefore I cannot find pics to tell you what generation it is...but I am guessing it's from the early-mid 1970s...so take your pic. Kinda cool...but its a BARGE

this hit the lot at the local chevy dealer by my place and for some reason i thought of you.....not sure why.........

Whatsup guys, I know I'm kinda new to the forums, but just wanted to say how I have seen a lot of skill in the showroom section, with people chopping, specially Nos and Plumcrazy (sorry if i mispelled ur name), and i was thinking how the people on this forum should get more into chopping and designing cars, and especially in the contest section. I think even if the majority of people on this forum might not know how to chop cars, you guys still should give it a shot, because it would be cool to see maybe more than 6 or 7 entries in the contest. I would like to see probly like 15-20 entries, i mean out of more than 1,000 people on this forums, only 6-7 make contest c…

Just wondering if anyone on the forums has, or has spent significant time in, a Mini Cooper. I'm thinking about getting one within the next year, I'd love to hear from someone who has had to deal with one on a daily basis.

well my alero is getting on in years. Its been a great car (2001 gls loaded) It had 50k miles on it half of them are hard city miles and let me tell you new rochelle has the biggest potholes in the world. The car need new brakes again soon and the suspenshion basically needs to be replaced. Ive been debating for a while wheather I want to dump 2 grand into fixing a car that is nice but not worth all that much. I almost baught a G6 this summer but I really couldnt swing a 30 grand car which is about what the GTP i wanted cost. So I had this "I need to fix the alero soon or get a new car goal" on my back burner. So this past friday one of my friends …

I don't know what to think. It makes my eyes go all wonky....like double vision. http://www.gizmag.com/go/2754/1/

i saw one just like thise outside my work yesterday..i have no idea why ive never seen one before??is there something special about it?

a buddy of mine has an '81 vette and is looking for another set of wheels i know you guys are the best at finding ANYthing on the internet so i figured i would ask all yall...thanx for the help

Happy Birthday to ocnblu, and Pipius! Don't get too crazy on your Friday evening, gentlemen!

After a LONG winter, this morning I head to Ocean City, MD for the Spring Car Cruise and to Rehoboth Beach, DE for at least the day, unless I can get a room at the Rams Head B&B, then I'll be overnight. So happy to be FREE! Enjoy your weekend, folks.

Another chance to start a birthday thread.... It's aaaantoine's birthday today. HAAAAppy BirthdAAAAy, AAAAntoine. Ocn, you're slipping....

Has anyone else seen the original Vanishing Point. I just watched it last night and it was great. Good car chase as well. Motor Trend ruined the movie for me though. They explained the 2 bulldozers so I knew the meaning in the first part of the movie. The car that was crashed into the bulldozers was actually a 67 Camaro. Motor Trend explained it because you can see the upside down Camaro badge when the townspeople are examining the wreckage. I didn't see the badge but I saw the body and windowline and I knew it was a Camaro. This was a good car chase movie. Anyone else seen it or seen any other good car chase movies? My favourite car chase is in Bulitt.

Guys, I am wracking my brain, trying to remember a web site I used to frequent. It was a humour site, full of other unusual websites and funny stuff - i think glass was in the title. no prizes for the right answer, just my eternal gratitude!!!! thanks, stacey

Happy Birthday, Booyah.

Is coming to Kettering University tomorrow for some type of speech/presentation and he's bringing some cars with him too. Nobody knows which cars yet, but I'm going to guess the Z06 will be one. Who knows. Should be cool though and I'll let you know what happens. Brett, you going?

Last month in mid may I went on a business trip with a co worker and friend since he wanted to go see his parents in a town just outside of Duluth Minnesota where we were at doing a job for a sister shop. Since all of us planned to go around on vaction for the next week we decided to go north up into canada and camp way up there are goal was to go up into the northren territories. Well some where in northren canada there was F*cking snow still on the ground so the first 2 nights where pretty cold while i heard it rained and was hot down here. On the third day we went driving around and we came across some very nice 4 lane hiway with a cement divider and all. It was pretty…

I love the Banana Boat... so very glad to have it back. Still, I'm a car whore. Monogamy is soooo very hard. Currently I am considering a few cars to replace either the B-59 or the '77 CDV. Earlier today after XP gave me a heads up on a super cheap '76 Cadillac S&S Hearse with flame-thowers, flame paint job and in need of some TLC. I called very quickly (the car has been on Crainglist before) since the price had seemingly hit rock bottom. SOLD as of about 2 hrs. ago. Oh well. I've had this unsatable appetite for a REAL Pontiac, as in a classic Pontiac, something RWD, BOF & with one or more of the following: - Chrome Beak (metal twin-port…

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Brazil’s public health system will begin providing free sex-change operations in compliance with a court order, the Health Ministry said Friday. Ministry spokesman Edmilson Oliveira da Silva said the government would not appeal Wednesday’s ruling by a panel of federal judges giving the government 30 days to offer the procedure or face fines of $5,000 a day. “The health minister was prompted by the judges’ decision,” Silva said. “But we already had a technical group studying the procedure with the idea of including it among the procedures that are covered.” Article continues: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20323334/

Story I think they got the story wrong, but you be the judge... If you ask me, the pelican distracted him from his phone. It was the phone that made the dim-bulb veer off the road. What a dork.

Admittedly, the dude has some issues...but the "real" Harry isn't even on the site anymore. I'm sure that, with an MBA, he has to be reasonably smart, but certain "substances" evidently create the lack of coherence in some of his posts. Probably time to let it go...what do you think?

Has anyone noticed the proliferation of round, red taillights on vehicles these days? No matter the outward shape of the lens, the lit part is increasingly the same on so many vehicles nowadays. Everything from a Hyundai Elantra to a Chrysler 300 has these same, round illuminations when seen at night. BORING!

* Anyone remember me!? For various reasons, it's been a LONG time since I've logged in & posted here. BUT, after reconnecting and chatting with Drew a bit, I figured I'd log in & post. Hope that's OK. A lot has happened since I last was here, but I won't bore you. Instead, I'll share a couple of recent things, in case anyone is interested. I finally detailed my car. Big deal, right? For me, this time, it kinda is! When I had my family of MCs, I spent every "automotive season" Saturday (weather permitting) detailing a car. But, when I detailed my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis LS (which I'd bought late 2016) a few weeks ago, I hadn't det…

ILVTOFU. Does that seem obscene to you? If it does, you might want to apply for a job at the Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR). When mother-of-three Kelley Coffman-Lee requested this combination of letters for a vanity license plate, she was turned down. While Kelley wanted the world to know just how much she loves tofu, the DOR saw it as a profession of love for something else entirely. "I-LV-TOFU" was deemed too risque, the DOR thinking it could be misinterpreted as "I-LV-TO-F-U." Coffman-Lee is a vegan, and as she puts it, "I'm very expressive. I'm anti-fur, anti-rodeo, anti-circus when they come to Denver, and I thought, 'Here's a chance to be positive and say …

You might be from Long Island if: You live in the shadow of the greatest city in the world, but you almost never go there. When you're away from Long Island, you love it and when you're there, you don't. You think if you're not from Long Island or NYC, you're not really from New York. You know the exact point at which Queens turns into Nassau simply on intuition. You don't go to Manhattan, you go to "The City". You never realize you have an accent till you leave. Everything north of the Bronx is "upstate." New Jersey sucks. At some point in your life you've gone clamming. Either your parents or your grandparents lived in the city. …

Yeah. I'll be sure to keep an eye out, Mr. Sign.

Yep... finally! So, I bet you're wondering what is, right? Is it a BMW? A Miata? 240SX? Grand Am? Fiero? Prelude? Del Sol? Civic? NSX? Crapalier? Ferrari? Datsun? Silverado? LaSalle? Blazer? Or even a Geo Metro? What is it, you ask? Well.... A Rascal, that's what. A dog named Rascal. We got him over the weekend at a dog shelter. I couldn't tell you what he is, though. He looks half Terrier and half Dalmation to be... but hell if I know. He's about a year old. He got the rascal because... well... he's a frisky little thing. Full of energy and loves to play. He hasn't quite gotten used to Harley yet, or vice-versa, though. They just chase each other over and ov…

So after doing some digging i found it! I knew I had one. So I admit it that I am a True Apple Owner. I think I need to Kill Myself what was i Thinking??

Sunday night I was delivering to one projects in the one of the &#036;h&#33;tier areas of Lawrence. No tip, of course...cheap assholes. Anyway As I'll driving down the road to get on the rotary to head back, these 2 idiots in Civics are parked side-by-side blocking most of the road. One of them is 90's sedan with clear tail lights, the other is an 80's &#036;h&#33;box with mismatched panels and the "Civic" wording on the back of the hatch way off center. I wait for a moment, then beep my horn...I wait a couple more minutes and they still don't budge. So I gun it hard and screech the tires past them and blow through the rotary...tire screaming and all. I co…

So the Challenger can run on either 87 or 89 octane unleaded fuel and today I put about a quarter tank in it to see how far it would take me. Mixed mpg is rated at 20, but what I discovered was far more startling. The Chally only made that quarter tank last 30 miles using the Eco light in the trip odometer. A bit disappointed, I spent $50 bucks on a full tank of 89 octane gas and that just about tripled my mileage. After driving 40 miles the gauge hasn't really moved. The extra 11 cents per gallon (87 is $3.79 and 89 was only $3.90) might be worth it. But what I think is interesting is that I can remember 87 octane being of a much better quality than it is now, even at…

On the lot: What's hot, what's not! Solstice sells in 14 days while Crossfire sits for 302 Josee Valcourt / The Detroit News In Miami, the wait for a Mini Cooper can be weeks. At East Coast Toyota in Wood Ridge, N.J., tiny Scion cars are sold even before they are unloaded from the carrier. “There’s a six-week waiting list for the Scion tC,” said John Dee, sales manager at the Toyota store, one of the largest in the Northeast. And in many U.S. showrooms, the Pontiac Solstice, Chevrolet HHR, BMW 6 series and Ford Fusion run in short supply. But for every hot seller, there’s a lonely car in the back of the lot that has been waiting a long time to find an owner. How q…

Recently, one of the fog light housings on my Golf failed and let water drown out the bulb, lens, and optics. The result was destructive corrosion that ruined any chance of salvaging the light. So, as anyone clearly would, I set out to tear it all apart and find out what makes the projector lens work in such a superior way over a reflector optics lens more commonly used throughout the auto industry. The answer is quite simple, literally. The eye of the projector lens is just a small domed glass lens held a specified distance from the bulb and optics. A cut-off shield is in place to do what the name suggests; cut off the light from projecting into unwanted directions. …

eBay listing The highest bid reached just over $150,000, but the reserve wasn't met before it was pulled from the auction. "Final Objective" is a street legal 55 Chevy with a V12 1650ci Rolls Royce Merlin engine (the same type of engine used most of the P51 Mustang fighter aircraft). At 3000hp, it is in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's most powerful street registered car. The car was built in Australia by Rod Hadfield of Castlemaine Rod Shop. It's been on a tour of the US, and it looks like he doesn't want to bother shipping it back to Australia.

Well this week the Prizm accident was finally settled for 1,494.66, including keeping the car. Not what I wanted but better than what they were going to give me. I found out that the original offer was not for $1,500 but for $1,015 - $100 to keep the car...so $915 I had wanted $2,425 but I just couldn't get that price from them. As it terns out, cruise control, which was optional only on LSi models was factory installed on this base model...I found the bad news out from the original owner. It looked like I'd be stuck with a base model offer of...well...&#036;h&#33; However I must extend a huge thank you to GM. I called them up several weeks ago asking how I …

A while back, my neighbors put their little house cat outside because she "attacked" their daughter (I think it may have been the other way around, but I digress). She was in heat. So of course a tomcat got to her and knocked her up... she was a homeless little girl in trouble. They put food out for her, but didn't let her back inside any more. She's been hopping over from their deck to mine from time to time if she knows my door is open. She'd been trying to get into my house. I've been petting her and being nice to her, but I didn't want to let her in. I had the door open this morning, she heard me through the screen door, so she hopped over and started crying he…
