    Ecoboosted V6 F-150? Ecoboosted V6 Ford GT? WOW! (shakes head in disbelief) I could have had a V8!!! For comedic relief this post is. Shyte storm to cause it is not!

    technically, the RC looks like the LC500 as the concept car came first...and the RC took its looks from the concept car. The LC500 is EXACTLY how the concept car was, its just that the concept car was green lighted way late as Lexus really had no intentions in building but they finally did... The LC500 has got something no Mercedes car you mentioned has... Concept car sex appeal. The classic and modern Gullwing sports cars and the McLaren sports car are more in line with what the LC500 is. Price tags aside of course.

    Waaaaaay over price Breitling... I normally like Breitling watches because of their pseudo connection to Aviation. Same with Raybans. But this is one Breitling I could care less for. Old and new Chrysler 300C clock looks to be more elegant. A tad more expensive detailing on the bezel with an equal amount of diamonds as that Breitling and the Chrysler 300C surpasses the Breitling in elegance. For me...expensive time pieces HAVE TO BE elegant. Not gaudi shytes...that Breitling to me seems gaudi. No...Breitling watches have never been elegant. But, they do look like they serve some sort of purpose. In the Bentayga however, that is not the case... As far as the mechanicals go if one wants to argue why it costs that much... In 2016...time piece precision is a gimme. This aint the 1800s or early 1900s anymore. In fact, Timex by takin' a lickin' and they kept on tickin' proved that SEVERAL decades ago... Now...I do respect and enjoy the precision engineering of expensive watches...I just dont get consumed by the faux marketing involved...

    I dont mean anything by this...nor does it have anything to do with the subject at hand...and you may or maynot know...but Id like to point out anyway as an informative footnote that the Altima Hybrid was also sold in Quebec. I dont know if it was sold elsewhere in Canada, but Im 100% sure it was sold in Quebec.

    Its so bright, that EVs gotta wear shades.

    Will do actually!!! Thanx in part to this thread. Yours and Stew's posts made me itchy for #3. We, as in the family, we will be going to see Rogue One during the week between XMAS and New Years. What better way to cap off that week with #3 from Star Trek. My kids have watched #1 with me and did enjoy it. I watched #2 alone though. I dont think #2 is necessary to watch for #3...it dont matter, all we'll do is Star Wars and Star Trek marathon all that week!!!

    I havent seen the 3rd one....yet. Because I am not a Trekkie, it was not on my gotta see it now list. I feel like all the rebooted Star Trek movie actors do an incredible job of capturing the essence of the characters they represent in the original way while at the same time spinning their own take on the originals. A bloody shame for Anton Yelchin. Very hard to do but I think they succeeded BIG TIME. I think this is why the rebooted movies connect with newbies like myself to being a fan of the franchise TODAY. Newbies like myself certainly know and are familiar with the quirky actors and acting of the original cast. And I am talking about myself here, I did not necessarily want Nimoy or Shatner or the others in the movie, I did want to see familiarity. And I did want the movies to break away from that nerdy edge original format. I guess that was what the Next Generation was all about with Captain Picard...it was still too nerdy for my tastes.

    I was never a fan of Star Trek. I did however enjoy some original Star Trek TV shows. The Next Generation stuff never interested me. OK..this is where it becomes wacky. I LOVE the last 2 rebooted movies. I am saddened by the death of the actor playing Chekov. Leonard Nimoy....I was saddened by his passing as well. Star Wars is where its at for me. Yes. Even Episodes 1,2 and 3. #2 was too long and too love storyish that needed not be. Stupid scenes that took away from what could have been a better storyline with Count Dooku and Anakin and the Clone Wars. We KNOW that Padme and Anakin were gonna be a thing...no need to make us vomit over it with overly corny, overdone, over dramatized love scenes with no chemistry between the lovers. HOWEVER, the chemistry between Anakin and OB1 were incredible! OK....back to Star Trek...

    I LOVE Lesbians. But then again, Im just a narcissistic man-whore who thinks lesbians exist just to please MY male hetero sexual fantasies... Kinda ironic and sooooooo not reality!

    I share your thoughts. It will be a fine car. Buick and Chevy havent disappointed the last couple of years. It does have a certain charisma. Ill give it that but it doesnt tug at any of my emotions like this generation does. I think I prefer the next gen Lacrosse over this. Who knows? It might grow on me as its not a bad looking car. Maybe its because I STILL like the current Regal's looks that I secretly dont want it to go away. it was meant to be sarcastic as I think it looks like a Mazda6. HOOWEVER, looking at my prediction as a serious tone, it might not be a bad thing to try to emulate a certain luxury version of Mazda's Zoom Zoom campaign...
  11. oldshurst442
    I dont like it. It looks....odd. Besides having a look reminiscing of a new Mazda6, which is a good thing, some proportions on this car look bizarre to me. I dont like the way the headlights are placed on the car. I am all for more interior leg room, especially in the rear as compared to the old Regal but I feel the longer wheelbase and the way the shape of the car is with the location of the headlights just makes this car look strange to me.

    The only Challenger I see where AWD would be beneficial would be the SRT 8 versions ESPECIALLY the Hellcat. But alas, I dont think AWD will be offered for those. Sure its a no big deal add on as the Charger and 300 have this and I applaud this move ONLY because it MIGHT make pony car guys think about how the pony car segment COULD evolve to to spice things up performance wise vis-a-vis the competitor German sport coupe cars that have AWD... Or maybe not. Alls I know about a Hellcat is that its got insane power and its hard to get that power to the ground effectively. I LOVE me that Hellcat power. But AWD would do it some good. Mind you, a new svelte platform would also benefit a Hellcat. AWD on a Challenger? Call it boring for me.... A 300C also had it a DECADE ago... BIG DEAL!!! GIVE ME A BRAND NEW CHALLENGER INSTEAD!!! I STILL LOVE THIS HELLCAT THOUGH!!! BUT I WANT A NEW PLATFORMED CHALLENGER HELLCAT EVEN MORE!!!

    No worries there for me... Im a Boston Bruins fan. Yup...a Bruins fan from Montreal! But....every single time the Bruins LOSE to the Habs, its kinda like this for me. And because XMAS is right around the corner...the rant is comparable
  14. oldshurst442
    I can see Buick's next marketing campaign.
  15. oldshurst442
    Yes Mr DFELT. Its accurate for me too. I edited this post. I originally had another Yoda meme, but the message was not what I wanted.
  16. oldshurst442
    Just give me this. Everything else at Lexus could be thrown in the garbage. OK..Ill also take this one too
  17. oldshurst442
    Ya sure about that? VeeDub sure made caca out of certain things in dat pool! Seriously though: The Golf GTI is one incredible machine. The only reason why I cant see myself in one is because back in the day in my 20s, some of my friends at that point in time drove Golf GTIs. VR6s. Corrados too with that same engine. I made fun of them since I was an American gung ho car guy with the pony car scene. Yeah, they in turn made fun of me for V8s and all....This was the 1990s when the Tuner car craze was hot. In other words, I cant bring myself to own cars I made fun of back then...

    Star Wars in about a week. So...this bit of news requires Star Wars GIF on how I feel about this bit of news.

    @FordCosworth PS: I woke up and got outta bed just now just to tell you, because I forgot to mention it in my post. ENJOY YOUR CONCERT!

    I heard Axl sing replacing Brian Johnson of AC DC....not that great, but then again, he aint AC DC, he is GnR. One of the best Rock voices ever this Axl guy had. GnR, I HATE them, but strangely enough, I have BOUGHT and LISTENED to for HOURS EVERY SINGLE album they made before breaking up. Yes. Even the Spaghetti Incident. Timeless rock songs some songs of theirs are. I was referring to this Montreal incident when I made my post. http://www.aux.tv/2013/08/21-years-ago-today-montreal-rioted-at-a-guns-n-roses-and-metallica-show/
  21. oldshurst442
    They are coming to Montreal too. Im surprised that Axl is attempting to show up... I wonder if Metallica is opening up for them...

    Montreal higher ups were humbled by that little video that went viral. They said a fast and flukey occurance of black ice formed sooooo quickly that they did not have the time to react to that particular street. The mayor said that the salt trucks were on the roads full force BEFORE the roosters were even awake. Well. No Montrealer bought that load of BS... Hoperfully in your neck of the woods, the people that run your town are not as um...complacent as our higher ups... On top of that...barely 3 inches of snow fell on Monday in some parts, and by the next morning...it all melted away. Sure...when it did fall...it fell...hard, but in no way at blizzard pace. And Montreal gets blizzards...like often. .so its not as if we are not used to this. We got caught with our pants down. We should own up to that....

    I met the man in December 1997 or January 1998 when he first walked into my restaurant and ordered a hot dog for the very first time. Just 1 hot dog. He had a craving for one. I asked him, "wow....you drive your Porsche in the winter?" (those exact same words) He said, with a certain proud and assertive and confident voice, "YES! I just got it for the winter. You know, this car comes in AWD. Not because its winter in Quebec life has to stop!" I just smiled at him and said....cool. He comes in from time to time...orders just 1 hot dog. And goes on his merry way. His Porsche, its surprisingly in good condition. I havent seen one rust spot. Probably because the car is aluminium? Its 11 years old already. We chit chat but I have never asked him recently how his car is doing, because he still drives it....in the winter...and is obviously in good working order... He has a convertible 2006 Mustang GT with all kinds of Ford Racing shyte on it. Roll bars, wide tires. Enhanced engine upgrades.Shelby Cobra decals all over the place but it is not an official Cobra car. That is his baby that he drove in the summer when the sun is shining. Now his son drives that one most of the time. He has a Mercedes S Class that he got a couple of years ago. He had a 2010 CLS before that S Class. His wife drives an Audi Q whatever number it is. The big SUV form Audi. EDIT: I cant count for nothing. I said 11 years. SHYTE...20 years...its 20 years old... WOW!!!! TIME PHOQUING FLIES!!! Our restaurant is 20 years old this year. We opened it up in November of 1996. My partner and I both forgot... This post just reminded me... We have to throw a big Christmas Party for the staff this year. We always have one but its always a small humble thing. We have to throw a big bash this year!

    That is how Montreal OFFICIALLY kicked off the holiday season today. I am lucky for not getting myself into this kind of predicament. Knock on wood. wow and cool. On both accounts. On you being a mover and a shaker buying and selling and getting yourself into all kinds of cars never keeping it stale. And for the dude for going from a Flying Spur summer car to a VeeDub winter car. I had a customer that drove, and still does, a late 1997 Turbo 911 for the winter.
  25. oldshurst442
    I also read it. I also got distracted...and I apologize as I was the reason for distracting you. So true. NOTHING POLITICAL THERE BUD! But of course, continue on with your CHILDISH SHYTE! Even when another poster told us to STOP! Sorry Mr DFELT....once again. BUMP Take it from the top!
