Before I ordered my Sierra, I was ready to buy a G6 GTP 3.9L/six speed coupe, and I was going to have those chrome trim parts installed in the front end. I haven't seen a G6 in person with those. They look great, imo.

'69 light green Riviera, definitely not restored, being driven by what could have been a retired lady schoolteacher.

1969 gold Eldorado

Not one, but two Fiero GT's...one black near the University, and one White in the student parking lot...I may snag a pic of it.

2008 black Accord sedan on the way to school this morning.

Red C6 Corvette

I know there's more but I can't remember right now.

Black G6 GXP Street coupe at my local dealer. My salesguy talked to me about it for a few minutes, and offered me a test drive. He says he likes it, especially the mesh grillework, but he kind of got quiet when we got round back and were met with the "hammerhead" spoiler. I wish that hideous spoiler were a delete option, because I like the car except for that... monstrosity.

I saw a black w/ black interior mid '90s Eldorado convertible with the top down yesterday...2nd time I've seen this car in the last month.

When I went up in the mountains to see the fall colors last weekend I drove by a field near the tiny village of Pine that had a white '67 Grand Prix and a gold '65 LTD sitting together, probably had been there for many years...I was passed by a white w/ blue stripe Ford GT on the road to Pine (a windy, twisty road from the Conifer area).

Gray '08 Accord EX coupe on the lot. A bit overstyled.

Apple Green '08 Accent SE 3 door hatch on the lot. Sweet looking little sporty econocar, imo, with aluminum rims, fat little tires, foglights, a full compliment of power options... hmmm... :scratchchin:

I seem to have a split automotive personality. I love my truck... I love horsepower and RWD in general, but I also seem to have a perverse interest in tiny, spunky cars... Hyundai Accent SE 3 door, Mini Cooper, Fit Sport... there is something about zipping around in a puddle jumper that's just fun to me. I wish the Aveo were in the same league, but it just seems dull to me, even with the updates. Edited by ocnblu

You can have my Cavalier if you're that desperate... :P

God- just came back from 2 days at Hershey... what didn't I see?

How cool was it to see a line of cars looking to turn into the ground Saturday morning.... the occasional hapless plasto-junk drivers thinking "Showcars" meant they could park among them... rejected; vehemently turned out of the line to drive on to who cares where, while all the real cars were ushered in with reverence aplenty. Brass, chrome, heavy-guage sheetmetal, flabbergastingly-complex stampings, real, actual, tactile wood, clear, straightforward engineering, the curious, the iconic, the classic, the time-honored... My list would run a full 'page' here.... {sighs contentedly}

1954 Hudson Italia

1915 Van Blerck (one-off speedster conversion of American-LaFrance fire engine. 17L I-6)

my first new Grand Caravan...it was gold. i gotta say..the rear is it's least flattering angle...the low load height results in a low bumper and tall tailgate...it looks a bit droopy. The rest looks good though.

You just realized that now? :P

I'm seeing G-body coupes more than ever. I've already seen more of those since I've had the Cutlass than I've seen Millenias in the all the time I've had my Milly.

Well no, but it's far more apparent in the flesh..and it's the first one I've seen. Still looks better than the bloated Odyssey though. :P

What the hell is a CHevy C2? Some Opel/Daewoo rebadge?

I saw a dude that looked very ZZ-Top-ish in a flatblack & Von-Dutched '49 Ford today.

Also saw a 1950? Chevy pickup. hunter green.
