...the Chevette???!!! I had the opportunity to drive my parents' 2006 Cobalt today, since my '87 MC LS was in for new brakes and shocks. Holy crap does it handle nicely now . Anyway ... on the way to work, I kept thinking that the dashboard reminded me of something else. On the way home ... it hit me ... the Chevette. It reminded me a little of my parents' former 1982 Chevette. Hmmm...take a look.... 2006 Cobalt: http://www.automotive.com/2006/102/chevrol...or/cockpit.html 1976 Chevette: http://www.countryclassiccars.com/spcars_399.htm (2nd pic down) Obviously, it is NOT the ENTIRE dashboard ... just the vents, the "bulge" for the gauges, and the gauges (2 huge round ones on the end, a small round one at the top in between those). Interesting ... and kinda makes me wonder if this was intentional. I suspect not, but then again, I also suspect I might be the only one that notices the similarities....

Hmmm...but I'm not painting it as you think I am ... I've never claimed it is a "stand alone" car ... ever. I have the same problem with the Lumina "impala" and the Toyota Nova of the 1980s, among others. It's just that the MC is my favorite car and nothing is going to change that ... and I'm not about to apologize for my tastes/likes or fact-based opinions. *shrugs* Keep in mind, of course, that my experience/opinions is based on when I grew up ... in the mid-70s ... not the late 60s. I know if I had been born earlier, my tastes may've been vastly different. But, they aren't. But, I sure wish I had been born earlier ... I would've loved to have grown up with all of those previous Impalas, Novas, Chevelles, etc. ... not not been smack dab in the middle of the turn to FWD with the Toyota Nova in the mid-1980s......

If you have a decision (major or minor doesn't matter) that you need to make and you've done all of the "pros and cons" lists, etc. ... and still neither side jumps out as the "better" decision ... how do decide? What do you DO to decide? Yeah, I know "give it time" is one answer ... but, what if you feel that you don't have much time to decide? Notice I indicated "better" decision ... as opposed to the "right" decision. Many times a "right" decision doesn't really exist. Even "better" doesn't cut it, because what is "better" for you in your eyes may not be what really IS "better" for you...if that makes any sense. *sighs* Yes, I'm being cryptic and not making much sense, but I bet people know what I mean anyway.... I just have a few decisions that really SHOULD be made ... and the sooner the better. I've reviewed the pros/cons, etc., and still haven't made up my mind...one way or another.

So ... then ... why isn't the G8 a Pontiac? I seem to recall in another thread you didn't seem to accept the G8 as a Pontiac.... I thought so....in this thread: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...18284&st=40 *shrugs* I see a few differences, but it seems basically the same feeling ... rubbing the purists the wrong way ... and, at least for the 1995-1999 2-door Lumina mc, not much completely unique sheetmetal from its Lumina counterpart ... *pauses* And, for that matter ... for those of you who don't see the new GTO as a GTO ... why not? And, same for the 2006-present Dodge Charger...? And, LA ... in that case, why didn't Chevrolet keep the Monte Carlo nameplate going straight through? As far as I know ... the Monte Carlo was the only one of the siblings (Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix) to NOT carry IMMEDIATELY foward to the FWD platform in the 1988-1990 timeframe...........

Ahhh....but I don't want an S-10 ... never have really liked the Crown Vic. As for the Dodge Diplomat ... holy canolies no. *sighs* Though, after some things that've happened in the last week and this weekend, I really think it is time to sell the MCs.

Yeah, definitely wait.... Kinda sounds like me. I had hoped to have a "winter beater" last year ... but that didn't happen. So, I'll keep driving the '87 MC LS this summer/fall ... and hope to find SOMETHING for a winter beater for next year. Still looking for.... 06 or 07 Dodge Charger '87 Olds Cutlass '86-'88 MC LS etc. I _may_ break down and get a FWD, if I have to ... but I doubt it. Unless I could find a Chevy Classic for a song.....
