Your LEAST favorite color for a car
Hmmm....for me, it depends on the car, I guess. BUT ... overall ... dark gray. Course, I dislike black ... only because it is ssssooo freekin' hard to keep clean.

Anyone have experience with RWD Malibus?
Hmm...well, in that case, you might want to check out this site: http://www.countryclassiccars.com/ It is about 5 hours south of me ... near St Louis. I stopped there during my October road trip last year. Now, I wasn't really looking to buy, so I didn't really look at the cars all that closely, but I'm told they can be "high priced" for the car. BUT, a couple that might peak your interest: http://www.countryclassiccars.com/spcars_460.htm http://www.countryclassiccars.com/spcars_434.htm http://www.countryclassiccars.com/spcars_421.htm And ... I'll keep an eye out for you around here. Sometimes ... the best cars are the ones NOT advertised anywhere but sitting alongside the road (at someone's home or business, of course!) ...

Bought a 77 Cutlass Supreme on Ebay
Ahhh...the smorgasboard of reasons . He he I never really have (nor will I ever, I don't think) buy a car and keep it only a short time. Course, I only had my '88 MC LS for about 3 years ... my '97 Corsica (er malibu) for 2 years ... followed by my '00 LS for nearly 3 years. Other than that ... long term ownerships .

Bought a 77 Cutlass Supreme on Ebay

Anyone have experience with RWD Malibus?
Cool ... I only asked because I know "driving distance" is different for different people. I would certainly keep an eye out for ya, but I think IL is a bit more than that 30-mile radius . He he.

Anyone have experience with RWD Malibus?
Who would call that a travesty? Certainly not me ... nor would most of the people I know who are car enthusiasts. As you noted, you see plenty of Corvettes and Mustangs around ... as well as Camaros, Thunderbirds, etc. It's very cool to see an older car that you don't see much anymore, such as the ones you noted. Do you have a certain mileage radius in which you are looking?

Rented a Cobalt
Interesting review.... My parents bought an '06 Cobalt (orange) sedan a few weeks ago. I have yet to drive it. Probably will get the chance to do so this coming Thursday, as we'll be going into Chicago for my 6-month cardiology checkup. I drove an '06 coupe about a year or so ago. While that drive is not all that fresh in my mind any longer, it'll be interesting to see how the sedan handles/drives....

Anyone have experience with RWD Malibus?
Holy cow, Fly! You thinking of buying that? If so ... GO for it! Looks like a GREAT deal, imho.... Dangum ... that's the kind of deal I'm looking for.... I don't have any direct experience with Malibus, but I know MightyMouse (MI) does ... and a few of my friends from other MC groups do, as well. From what I know from them, yes to both reliability and easy to fix.....

My New Project
Have any pics of your Schwinn, z28? Heh ... I really should get back to biking, but I haven't gone for a ride on mine since the late 1990s. Life just keeps getting busier and busier ... and I don't take the time. But, in my younger days ... heh ... shoulda tried keeping me OFF the bike. I rode EVERYWHERE ... even on some streets in town that, today, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere NEAR on a bike.
