CONGRATS on the win, Walt! And, great pics!!! No MCs?

Kathy Mattea ... 'Walking Away A Winner'

Yes'n'no. When my '00 mc LS got flooded and totaled in 2003, a lot of people raised their eyebrows (or worse) at me when they learned I was going "back in time" ... and buying a 1987 MC LS for my daily driver. I, however, have not regretted it one bit. The '87 MC LS has been more reliable than the '00 mc LS was. Yeah, I rent cars more than I did, but I don't mind.

Hmmm....love that . Course, I suspect it was meant to be the Lincoln version of the last Ford Thunderbird.....

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ... 'Modern Day Romance'

Unless, of course, it did not come out as RWD. I suspect Chevrolet will have a whole nother legion of fans upset if they do that. They already have mucked up the MC, Impala, Nova and Malibu.... *chuckles* It doesn't make my head hurt ... most of the time, anyway .

Hot dang ... that's not far from me .. hmmm..... As for the concept wagon ... sweet .

Ah...sweet pics . MM ... love your red Malibu . Sure hope to meet up with ya'll when I'm there in August (13) ... should be there about dinner time. May be meeting up with some people at Pasquales on the west side of Woodward, between 13 and 14 mile. We'll see .

Sweet! I may have to get to the store soon . Cort, "Mr MC" / "Mr Road Trip", 32swm/pig valve/pacemaker MC:family.IL.guide.future = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ Models.HO = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/trainroom.html "Come pick me up" ... Ben Folds ... 'Landed'

*chuckles* The rear-end view of the black-colored one ... makes it look like a "mini Hummer" ... he he he. Very cool, tho .

Weird day here ... somewhat. Temps were in the comfortable 80s or so ... didn't LOOK threatening. Got the '87 MC LS washed and waxed, etc., and finished just as a severe thunderstorm starting forming ... and rolled though the area. *shudders* Coulda been worse, I suppose....

*raises eyebrows very cautiously* Hmmm....I know a car company that has done this ... quite often, in fact, in the last 20 years or so...... *rolls eyes* On topic, I've no idea what thread to which this thread refers, but my goodness. Once again, apparently, there are personal attacks ... and companies continue to get away with murder. Ah, well. Irony rocks .

COOL pics, Speedy ... thanks for sharing! *sighs* And I STILL have YET to make it to a cruise/car show ... except, of course, for the MC Nats in TN this past June.

Shawn Mullins ... 'Rockabye'

I think GM/Chevrolet has answered that question for you ... since the '06 version doesn't even feature the emblem at all......

All too long. The concept, from what I understand anyway, IS RWD. Likewise, the 1994 concept that became the 1995 version was AWD, from what I remember. That, obviously, didn't happen either for the production version.

Agreed ... whole heartedly. I've had 2 FWD cars ... and have liked a few others enough to test drive 'em. But, I won't go back to FWD ... at least that I can foresee. My '87 MC LS is just fine for me. Yeah, I might rent a car for my road trips, but that keeps the miles off my own car ... and gives me a bit more "peace of mind" ... such that, if something does happen to the car, I'm not worrying about who is fixing the car . And, the '87 MC LS has been more trouble free than my former '00 mc LS. *shrugs* Cort, "Mr MC" / "Mr Road Trip", 32swm/pig valve/pacemaker MC:family.IL.guide.future = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ What's it like to buy your favorite car brand new?

On that map, the FGMC was located at the west end of the "turn around" in Pontiac MI. It was a blast . Sure hope I get to see ya'll when I'm up in MI the Sunday before....

We just had some severe storms roll through the Elgin IL area ... not cool ... but, the temps appear to have dropped. I admit I enjoyed that storm ... despite the wind damage ....heh.

Wow ... that's a darn cool / good commercial, imho. Too bad I haven't seen it on TV yet .

It's supposed to get up to about 100 tomorrow here in Chicagoland. Yikes.

Good . BTW, keep in mind that I'll be in that area of Michigan the Sunday evening before the cruise ... Aug 13. It appears that the MI MC group might get together that evening ... perhaps we could all meet up somewhere.....
