I dunno, I kinda like that ugly satellite dish-sized steering wheel. Maybe because it reminds me of the steering wheels from cars from the early 1960's and back (sizewise, anyways).

I remember hearing somewhere that your own urine was bad for you, but it would be safe to drink somebody else's if needed

If you care to listen to the news report, you would realize that Fox News is not themselves making the allegation that Mister Rogers is the reason that kids are lazy and feel deserving of things that are undeserved, but rather reporting some sorry excuse for a college professor's "findings" on said subject. So, while you cannot fault them for this, you can absolutely fault them for working this nonsense into their daily news program. Why this bull$h! ever made it out of a blurb on page eighty of some dumbass intellectual journal where these so-called academics compare notes on what they just pissed away their latest pile of grant money on is beyond me. Shame on Fox News for that, definitely. ..... and that video of Mister Rogers kicking ass and taking names on the floor of the Senate is awesome!

Not worth it to me unless it was a Select Sixty with documentation, and even then it isn't worth much. I've thought of picking one up as a winter beater at some point, however, because a high mileage nutbucket can be had for short change around here.

Me: 1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 1971 Cadillac Sedan DeVille 1967 Cadillac Eldorado Dad: 2000 Chevrolet Silverado LS 1937 Packard Super Eight touring sedan (not GM but definitely American and cooler than anybody else's car!) The Girl: 2005 Pontiac G6 Everybody else pussied out in one way or another. One grandmother does not drive anymore and got rid of her car, a 2004 Buick LeSabre Custom. Another grandmother went out and bought a Camry after fifty years of American car ownership. My mother just replaced her '99 Bonneville SE with a 2007 Altima after twenty five years of American car ownership. Looks like me and dad are the only hope, except for like one uncle who has a ten year-old Tahoe.

f@#king internal server errors. Anyways, this has to be around a 30 or so page research paper, having something to do at least loosely with politics. Ideally I'd be able to tie in the automotive industry somehow, but I'm open to any and all suggestions any of you may have, so put on your thinking caps! Thanks in advance for anything you're able to come up with!

But weren't parts of this song recycled in something called "Stoned Immaculate?" Like, look up lyrics to The Wasp, and then look up lyrics to Stoned Immaculate. I believe the line you posted is used in both, but not all the words in both songs are the same (hence the reason why I was confused). Am I right or still crazy?

The Wasp? (If I get this wrong again I'm an extra retard)

Stoned Immaculate by The Doors. Jim Morrison was x 1,000,000

-1950's MG, perfectly restored -1967 Oldsmobile Toronado, original

Apologies for the double post, but, Sixty8, do you have any more pictures, or bigger versions of the ones you already posted?

Enjoy the first class ass kicking you're about to receive day in and day out at United Package Smashers!

New developments! -The stuck hood latch was remedied by soaking the $h! out of it with WD40 and yanking the cable a dozen or so times to work it in. Closed the hood, pulled the handle, and she popped right up! -Got the AC compressor unstuck! When I got the car, it didn't spin for $h!. So I banged on the nose of it about a dozen times with a hammer. Then I soaked the $h! out of it with PB Blaster (the greatest substance ever conceived by man) and let it seep in for about ten minutes. Then I threw the belt over all the pulleys, and started the car. A terrible squealing with instant smoke! This was normal, though, because the PB Blaster had to burn off the pulley. Once the oil burnt off, the belt still squealed and burnt a bit but the pulley began to turn ever so slowly. I gave the car some gas, and it began to turn a little more. Gave it some more and POW! The compressor was spinning freely! It made a pretty good grinding noise for the first five minutes as it ground all of the rust out of itself from not turning for so long, but after that, it spun nice and quiet. I've enjoyed over a hundred miles of driving with my power steering back and the more I drive, the better it gets. This winter's gonna be a blast!

In the face of astronomical gas prices, my daily driver is a Naples Yellow 1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with a 7-liter V8. For my cheap, economical winter beater, I just bought a triple brown 1978 Coupe DeVille with the same 7-liter V8. I have a '67 Eldorado in storage and had to "adopt" a '71 Sedan DeVille at the beginning of the summer. I think it's safe to say I like 'em

So what's the last piece of the puzzle? Who burned you and how?

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!

Here's some more: I am planning on space for three Fire Trucks parked parallel with the long side of the building at the far end opposite the apartment, and then 4 ten foot wide spaces on each side of the building perpendicular to the long side of the building. This will leave about 10 foot down the middle of the building where I can park an additional couple of cars parallel with the long side of the building. This takes up a little over half of the building - the first 70 feet of the 125' length of the structure. Two 12' X 12' doors will come next along each side, along with a walk-through door next to each one. The 25' X 30' apartment will fill the space in one corner of the building, and the remaining 30' X 25' space will be used for parking my truck, motorcycles, and other "normal" vehicles. An 18' wide by 12' tall door will open into the end of the building that contains the "living quarters," while a 15' tall by 12' wide door will allow the tallest Fire Truck to back into the opposite end. And no, there won't be any roll-up doors that open into the apartment. I only have two Fire Trucks at the moment, so I am saving the third parking spot at that end of the building for my eventual acquisition of a ladder truck. Eventually I will build an actual house on the 5 acre lot (with an attached garage, of course!) and plan on renting out the apartment for short-term workers at the Nuclear Plant. I actually bought 36 acres, and am currently in the process of having it surveyed into 7 lots, of which I will sell 5. Just think - I will own my own subdivision - "Austin Acres!" Pretty sweet, eh?

Camino, here's a quote from him briefly describing his basic setup: My building is a Morton 60' X 125' with a 12' X 15' roll-up door, two 12' X 12' roll up doors, and a 18' by 10' roll up door. Basically I will have a door in every one of the 16' high walls of the building. The plan is to build a 25' X 30' two-bedroom apartment in one corner of the building which should give me room to park 10-12 Procars and at least three firetrucks inside the rest of the structure - along with the rest of my vehicles. Completion is scheduled for the end of August. I love the idea too!

Buy some cheap acres out in the middle of nowhere, build whatever you want as far as a house and outbuildings, and start an El Camino ranch. I've thought about doing it a million times. Clear the land myself, put up a steel building or three the size of a football field, and do whatever the hell I want. There's a guy on the Professional Car Society forums living the dream right now. He sold his house and moved out to the woods, and put up a massive steel building with a two-story apartment in one corner. He walks out his front door every morning to the rest of the floor where his fleet of twenty or so professional cars and fire engines await him. He's like one of my heroes hahah

Well try not to wig out on any of your cool stuff, but if you do..... DENTED EL CAMINOS HALF PRICE!!! With that being said, care to elaborate on what the problem is? Does it have something to do with the owner of the property you live at (you were alluding to something regarding that before)?

What is this "restoration kit" you speak of? What does it include? How does some slapdick like me get his hands on one? Most importantly, how far back in years do they go with these kits?

So tonight after work I roped Sixty8 and his lovely new bride into taking a ride down to Warwick, Rhode Island (170-mile round trip) to pick up the latest addition to the fleet: a 1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with 94,000 miles and change on it. It's very clean for its age, everything works (except for the AC compressor, which is seized, which means I need a shorter belt if I want power steering!), colors are brown with a brown top and brown interior, and has very stylish late 80's Chevrolet truck wheels on it. Purchased for the paltry sum of $420, I plan to swap out the better parts (most notably the headliner board and the center section of the front bumper) with lesser quality ones from my '77 which will begin to undergo a good freshening up over the winter. The '78 will be registered and left at my girlfriend's house as a backup car for the both of us. Life is good with two Coupe DeVilles! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand cue Sixty8 with the pictures!

Way to go, asshole. I need another car like I need a hole in my head and you've got me skimming craigslist twice a day for a late 70's El Camino to pick up! ........... can't wait to find one!
