whoa.... What you just said is unfair towards Joe Biden... Give the man some credit. Toyota is more like Al Gore... Was once married to a very fine looking Tipper. (That would be the Toyota 2000GT) Has 3 beautiful children (Those would be the Supra, Celica and MR2) Had a good political career (Hilux and Lexus) But now...is just a big ole bore. Al Gore! (Camry)

The thing does corner damn well! I like the Toyota 86. Id take the Subaru version though. This little emoticon is my friend. If one car that could be made into an EV and be better than its gasoline counterpart would be the Toyobaru. The Tesla roadster powertrain in this and it be better than the Lotus derived Tesla roadster... Why do I feel this way? Let us discuss it...

In all seriousness though...I avoided this thread... Too much mind-numbing whataboutisms and purposeful neglecting of reality going on. I much prefer the path we are on now. I no longer have the urge to....scream.

No no...Its OK... We could go back to leaf blowers and lawn mowers. Ill meet you half-way... I bought a Yardworks gasoline lawnmower 14-15 years ago. Im guessing its a Tecumseh motor. Hardly any maintenance do I do and she still purrs like a mean kitten. Internal combustion Tecumseh motors are fine engines....

Hey Little Cobra The Rip Chords I took my Cobra down to the track Hitched to the back of my Cadillac Everyone was there just a waiting for me There were plenty of Stingrays and XKEs Spring little Cobra get ready to strike Spring little Cobra now with all of your might Spring little Cobra get ready to strike Spring little Cobra now with all of your might Hey little Cobra don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down When the flag went down you could hear rubber burn The Stingray had me going into the turn I hung a big shift and I got into high And when I flew by the Stingray I waved bye-bye Spring little Cobra get ready to strike Spring little Cobra now with all of your might Spring little Cobra get ready to strike Spring little Cobra now with all of your might Hey little Cobra don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down Songwriters: Carol Connors / Marshall Kleinbard Hey Little Cobra lyrics © Music Asset Management (mam)

I dont know why. But IMMEDIATELY after reading your post...I laughed...but also...this song rushed into my thoughts. (No..not the Disney when you wish upon a star song....although that too is in my brain now!)

Never played it. I was more of a karategi suit Johnny Cage video game guy.

. MMMmmmmmm! Brown! Gotta love those 70's man. Can you dig it? Brown phoquing leisure suits and all! But in an interior....brown really aint that bad...to tell you the truth... I CAN dig it!

When did you own it? And why in the hell didnt you keep it???!!!

yikes.... All this time I thought that that was a center console. Boy...I was mislead. But in all honesty...I came to that conclusion as I read somewhere that even trucks were gonna eliminate bench seats. So I saw what I wanted to see with the worker trucks that come to the drive-thru at my restaurant. Or maybe I read wrong. Im not into trucks...so I am not familiar with truck trends. So....thank you all for the infos.

2015 with only 9000 miles? You hit the jackpot! Its like the saying goes....the previous owner was a little old lady driving it only on Sundays to church and to do her groceries. Awesome find.

The one on the left, or the one on the right? Or was it both? Anyway...nice tandem of enthusiast vroom vrooms you got going on there!

They did away with bench seats in trucks a while ago, I think. At least 3-4 years ago, right? All the newer work trucks I see...all of them...from at least 2010 on...all of them with bucket seats. Even contractors order the buckets. Yes...it is sad!

I like boyracer styling. Functional or not. It just has to look good to...me. This latest generation ZR-1. It WILL have great performance. No doubt about that. 210 mph. Not too shabby for a front engined (far back as possible making the Vette mid-engined?) and rear wheel drive. 755 horsepower is why...I guess. And lots of air work and air flow and air passing and downforce. Which leads me to talk about the looks of it. Its OK. Not mind blowing. I like it. I just prefer the Z06 Z07 C7R package more. I find that the on the C7 Vette, my boyracer acceptance is limited to the Z06 Z07 C7R package. In yellow over orange...

Me too. I even DESPISE some of them! The proportions are all...awkward looking. I find myself preferring long hood/short deck proportions most of the time. However... Cubi did mention the mid-engined cars I do like... I agree with this 100% All the cars mentioned 100% I agree 100% with some looking like Transformer/Gundam cartoon vehicles as well. I just like to add the to the list of what ME cars I like: The Countach...the 1980s one with all the excess (and useless) ground effects Ferrari F355 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale Lamborghini Aventador and the Reventon. The new NSX There may be a couple of others...

Industry News: Bob Lutz Sees A Grim Future For the Automobile
oldshurst442 replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
For the record, again, I dont feel like that is a "G6". Just because Pontiac decided to go alphanumerics on us... For myself, and you too I guess, a G6 is NOT a G6 but a Grand Am. So...all this talk...is for nada. We are back to square one!- 60 replies

Ahem... That is not a Grand Am That is more like a... Like a G6. Like a G6. Like a GGGGGG6. That is a fly Pontiac G6. For the record...I HATE this song and Im not particularly enamored with a Gulfstream G6. Im more of a homeboy and prefer the Bombardier Challenger jets!- 60 replies

The representative that said that is a piece of shyte!!! LYING TWO-FACED BASTARD!!! http://news3lv.com/news/local/driverless-shuttle-crashes-on-first-day-of-service-in-downtown-las-vegas In that link there is a video where a passenger explains what really happened... The pod had advanced when the truck was ALREADY backing up... Its a BIG ASSED 18 wheeler!!! The driver is BACKING UP an 18 wheeler!!! THINK ABOUT THAT A@@H0LE when you say to ME that had the 18 wheeler had sensors it would have stopped!!! The pod did NOT do what it was supposed to do...it advanced to far forward for the 18 wheeler driver to see what was going on...it did NOT recognize an 18 wheeler backing up... It did not HEAR the beep beep beep sounds of a truck backing up... And it did not reverse to get the phoque out of the way... 18 wheelers when baccking up back up...SLOWLY!!! The passengers said that THEY KNEW what was coming but the pod does not even have the ability to back up???!!! The driver was even cited... Yeah...I see a law suit happening and that driverless pod program in Las Vegas being shut down instead!!!

Each thought in that post requires a +1. A Thank-you +1 for me as you are not condescending towards me as Ocnblu was...although he was joking around with me on that...I hope) And a +1 because you are right! It IS all about the negotiation.
