Intrepidation

I've had good experiences with HPs I'm guessing what you do on the computer isn't very graphic intensive. Quad Cores will be more than enough. If you're getting Vista 64 might as well pony up for the extra Ram (I would say 4 gigs). The more Ram you have the more virtual memory the computer has to work with and multitask. HP monitors, I don't know but I'm guessing they're rebranded monitors from Samsung or something. Should be fine. As far as printers go, I would look into what Epson and Canon offer. They are by far the best IMHO. I haven't had any issues with my HP all-in-one, but it can't compare to the Canon printer I also have when it comes to printing features and quality of the prints..

I know, thanks for noticing.

First of all, it's `57 Plymouth Belvedere. Secondly, when was the last time you saw one? It's not just about the car, but the history and the people involved. Thousands of people gathered from literally around the world to see it unearthed. No one expected it to come out looking like it did when it was sealed away. It's a relic of a time long past. It should and hopefully will be preserved.

You're missing the point entirely. It will never go down the road because that's not the point. The car is being stabilized to keep it from deteriorating further, not being restored. The car is priceless because it is the only one of it's kind in the world that was buried ceremonially and dug up ceremonially.

Came across this set of photos today. Here is Miss Belvedere at Ultra-One in Hackettstown, NJ on June 6, 2008. Note partial exterior cleanup of fender, part of the door, and half of the upper and lower grille sections. Side view of the car. A closeup of the cleaned up passenger fender and tire. The fender seems to have survived fairly well. The chrome on the vent window frame looks great, with only one or two pits in the metal. The gas tank on the left looks like it survived and could probably be reused if the car was restored. The leaf springs, as seen on the right, have brittled and snapped. This is true for both sides. The southern parts car that was acquired by Ultra One and will be used to 'stabilize' Miss Belvedere. Plans are to use this car's frame and some of its sheet metal.

Well, it depends....do yu plan to use this in a car? Do you plan to rebuild it and resell it? Would it sell or more than the landscaping job would cost? IF yes to any of those I would seriously consider it.

No worries, it happens.

Everyone to should have the right to be happy (or suffer) together.

It cracks me up.

Best vehicle for the unemployed or soon to be unemployed is the one they have now (in most cases).

They don't suck just because it was their pre-square interiors. I would love to find one of those.

I didn't hear about the wood grain, how much did that one go for?

Not a problem at all. It would be nice to get the CD Changer to work but it's not the end of the world if it doesn't...my main goal was to get the seats...everything else was extra.

Good luck!

This might be helpful.... Although I've never setup an HDTV to my computer (don't have an HDTV....YET!) so I could be off.

Deleted the double post, just so you know.

If your video card has an HDTV / S-Video Out port than yes.

Look at the bright side, at least it's a small car so reaching over isn't impossible to do.

Those work well. Trust me. I don't like crappy monitors either. Those are what you call good deals on great products. Also, if it hurts your eyes you can turn down the brightness and/or contrast In the meantime, you could also try turning the resolution up on your monitor and try the following: Settings> Advanced > DPI setting (this enlarges text and icons) Display Properties > Appearance > Advanced (here you can change individual font sizes, colors, and styles)

Larger monitor is a good idea, you can also increase the text size.

haha! Ok fine, it has a hump back and a saggy ass.

It looks fine until you get past the B-pillar, then it all goes to hell. The interior is nice though.

Ponce de Leon spent his career searching the Florida wilderness for the mythical fountain of youth, hoping to recapture his glory days. Car buyers often follow his example, buying the same kind of car they had in their youth, either as a restoration project or in the form of a new nostalgia model from the same manufacturer. The question now for the domestic car industry is whether such cars can also serve to recapture their glory days, when the car makers commanded huge market share with hot models that future owners sketched in study hall, or plastered on the inside of their lockers. Ford has remained in this sporty coupe segment since its introduction of the Mustang at the 1964 New York Auto Show. Chrysler jumped back in last year with a recreation of the Challenger that it originally built to compete with the Mustang. And now, after a seven-year hiatus, Chevrolet is returning with the Camaro. These “heritage” models have a spotty record, with some hits like the New Beetle, Mini Cooper and Mustang, and some misses like the Chevrolet SS-R, Ford Thunderbird and Plymouth Prowler. The quality of the car under the vintage veneer seems to strongly influence the outcome, as the SS-R, T-Bird and Prowler were terrible cars to drive and live with, while the more successful models have been good cars as well as faithful recreations. Considering this background, Chevrolet’s Camaro is poised for success because it’s both a stunning recollection of the ’69 Camaro and because it’s a fantastic car for driving enthusiasts. GM cut no corners in producing the Camaro, making it the most successful of the neo-classic pony cars so far. For the Camaro, GM made no compromises. The car enjoys the benefit of top-flight suspension, brake and steering hardware that is derived from the Holden Monaro, a traditional rear-drive car built by GM’s Australian subsidiary. But unlike the Challenger, the Camaro’s engineers were able to push and pull on the chassis dimensions as needed to retain the concept car’s classic lines. The only departure from the original is the use of a b-pillar (the roof support between the front and rear seats) on the new car. The original Camaro was a hardtop design, with the roof arching gracefully from the windshield to the back-swept c-pillar at the rear. Modern crash safety and body stiffness requirements make pillar-less true coupes too expensive for high-volume, moderately priced models like the Camaro. Hit cars have supported the domestic manufacturers through tough times in the past, and the Camaro could be a new profit engine for GM. The company took 14,000 confirmed orders from consumers before production even commenced, and had 800,000 inquiries from potential customers through the company’s Web site. “The Camaro is evidence that GM does indeed produce cars that Americans want to buy,” crowed Troy Clarke, president of GM, North America. Of course the new car faces the dreaded “headwinds” which are blamed for every missed profit target in American business, but what better to counteract a slumping market than a hot product? Apple doesn’t see iPod sales tanking because of the economy, because consumers want the product. The Camaro is a more costly product, obviously, but if some people feel they have to have it, then GM stands to starting inking some black numbers on its balance sheet sooner than it would have otherwise. “The buzz that I’ve seen for this car is the most I’ve seen in my career,” observed Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. To succeed, the Camaro needs to appeal to not only the die-hard classic car enthusiasts and today’s performance car afficianados, Peper said. It needs to attract people he terms “life enthusiasts” rather than just driving enthusiasts. That means poaching sales from the Honda Civic Si, the Scion tC, Nissan 370Z and probably intercepting some fashion-conscious buyers who might have previously bought New Beetles or Mini Coopers. Backing the flash that will appeal to status-seekers is bona fide dash that means the car has genuine street credibility for its performance. The entry-level 3.6-liter six-cylinder model, the kind derisively referred to as a “secretary’s car” in the old days, now has 304 horsepower churning through a six-speed transmission. It accelerates the car to 60 MPH in 6.1 seconds, which is faster than the original V-8 model’s performance. This is GM’s best V-6, seen previously in the Cadillac CTS, and it includes the latest technology such as direct fuel injection. The financial news network talking head who attended the Camaro’s press introduction dismissively asked the Chevy guys why they would introduce a car like this now, the implication being that stupid American manufacturers only know how to make gas guzzlers. Except that the Camaro scored 29 MPG highway on the EPA’s official test. That’s better than the manual-shift Scion tC’s 27 MPG, for those who insist on tallying the GM vs. Toyota score. Over time, most Camaros will be six-cylinders, and in the future there may even be four-cylinder versions. But in the immediate future, gearheads are going to buy a bunch of Camaros outfitted with the company’s signature Chevy smallblock V-8s. And they will enjoy them. As with the base engine, the V-8 can also be matched to either automatic or manual-shift six-speed transmissions, but the 6.2-liter V-8 puts out either 426 or 400 horsepower (depending on the transmission) and a sound that is symphonic perfection to drivers whose hearts beat to the music of internal combustion. Both engines, with 24 MPG highway for the manual transmission and 25 MPG for the automatic, score better fuel economy than the 22 MPG of the pocket rocket Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. MSNBC
