Poll: Did you pass your driver test the first time?
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in The Lounge
Yes, I learned at age 12 to help my dad move cars around his garage that he worked on for customers. Still took drivers ed as it is required in Washington state even back in the late 70's to be able to get a drivers license. Passed the written 100%, missed 1 item of all the items they test you on when actually driving. Your allowed to miss two and I was pissed when the tester failed me for parallel parking as he said I was not the required 6" from the curb. I was madder than hell as I was straight and close and he felt it was not good enough and yet how many people can really parallel park. I am crazy about the details. Was so pissed with him. But I got my license and took off out of there and went for a nice long ride in my 76 Series 5 LUV truck! Bad Ass Truck it was. -
What are your automotive purchase plans?
G. David Felt replied to GMTruckGuy74's topic in The Lounge
Nothing planned for now, would like to get me an 86 Monte Carlo SS Aero and rebuild it with a proper GM crate motor to turn it into a sleeper. -
That baby could so use some TLC and be a freakin amazing truck again. WOW, have not seen one of those babies in a long time.

So then, this is a weak area in my mind, so what most people here are saying is a ZF tranny is built by the company called Aisins? I have heard many good things about ZF tranny's but never heard Aisins before so just want to make sure I have my tribal knowledge right!

I don't how they get registered either, but I've seen a couple around the Phoenix area w/ AZ plates, and a couple w/ Mexico plates... In the last two years Washington state has seen a rapid growth of the Hispanic community. With it is a few ram-chargers from Mexico. All they have to do here and I suspect the same in California and Arizona is pass a State trooper safety inspection and emissions and if all passes, then they get a state licenses.

TOTALLY ROCKS!!! GO GMC!!! I would be a total GMC only fan if I was not such a big GM fan. I would have loved to add to my GMC family of auto's but sadly no new Typhoon so I had to settle for the lovely Trailblazer SS. Just so many lovely GM auto's. Spread the Love. I totally agree with you on the art of the old and new logo. That hat really Rocks. Enjoy it as you deserve it.

Honda Previews The 2013 Civic Before The LA Auto Show: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Honda
Yawn, Exterior is just evolutionary. See if the gawd awful interior is truly redone. -
Could go either way, best year ever or worst. This tranny could be way better than what GM builds since it has already been out in other auto for a while. Bigger issue is once they go to their own GM engineered tranny, how long will parts really be available for this one year off unit and ouch when you get an idiot mechanic who does not pay close attention to this and trys to fix it based on what is going on with the GM tranny. I will wait and see as like I said, this could be amazing or a blow up. True if this one year use of tranny is a derivative of what BMW is using, then it should not have any problems. Course the programming will be very different so it will be interesting to see who GM does.

Yeah, the rims are absolutely terrible. They're ugly beyond ugly. That's why I'll be replacing the rims with a set of these soon: I've always liked Year One's 17" Rally Rim reproductions and considered buying a set for my old black Turdmaro. That's what will be going on this car. That's a seat from either a late '90s Grand Prix or early 2000's Impala, I believe. Yes, I said a seat. The previous owner started to replace the original worn out ones and stopped at the driver's seat. I still have the original driver's seat, but I'm not sure I'm going to reupholster it, the passenger side seat, or the rear seat bottoms. I'm open to criticism here, but I'm thinking a set of Recaros out of a Cobalt SS may be what I use to replace the front seats, if not at least a set of seats out of a fourth-gen F-Body. Of course, they'll be recovered with more factory-style coverings. I do plan on reusing at least the back of the rear seat. I'm afraid so. I have no idea who in the hell made those things, but I'd like to hope that they've went out of buisness. We'll get there sometime this winter I hope. So far, I'm planning on painting the car black and adding a custom hood and lower body side graphics, although I'm also considering a few Holden-sourced paint options as well. As far as the body goes, it's 85 percent straight and 85 percent rust free. None of your typical F-Body rust has gotten to the rocker panels or any of the rear sheetmetal. The floorpans do have some very mild rust issues (which second-gen F-Body car doesn't?), but that's no big deal. I can spend $200 bucks on so on a new set from Camaro Central, which is luckily located about 15 miles away from me (and that also means I'll get to save a buttload of cash on shipping working on this car). Sounds Very Cool, I would like to suggest you keep a running blog here with pictures so we can all lust after this baby being brought back to a high standard of BAD!

Agree, I like the multiple LED lights, but do not like the chrome bling around them, Very ugly. think it could have been done much better. I do like the bumper integrated exhaust.

Who is doing the conversions? Wonder if it would be US legal to import them.
