Arg. I'd try to come ... except, I'll be in Goodletsville TN for the MC Nationals.....

He he he...yep, I knew what ya meant about Junior . Too bad you don't live closer ... we all could go together. I think it'd be neat to see it with some "car enthusiasts" .

*raises eyebrow* Am I the only one that is a little leery of the "may not have to pay a deductible"? RBB, I'd make darn sure that they are not going to make you pay a deductible on this ... after all, as you noted, you were NOT at fault. As such, you shouldn't have to pay anything to get your car repaired.... At least, that's my humble opinion . Good luck ... and do keep us posted on this situation.

Grrr...I mentioned a visit first in this thread ... he he he . Ssssooo...hope I can come with you, too, when I'm in Michigan again! Ohhh....you haven't been to the Woodward Cruise yet? Oh my ... yes, I'd say that needs to be on your list first . I was there a couple years ago ... and loved it!!!! The First Gen MC Club had its Eastern Meet at Woodward that year.

LOL! That got a roar of laughter from the crowd that was in the theatre when I saw it.... Darrell was the 2nd generation (76 or 77) MC . Sadly, some of the references didn't immediately come clear to me ... I suspect that was, in part, because I was watching it with "non car enthusiast" friends. If I was with some of my MC or other Chevy buddies ... I'm sure they would've jumped out more at all of us ... which is why I want to see it again ... he he he.

Hrm. Well, yes, that would be rare ... since the MC ended production in 1987 ... and didn't come back, well, Chevy claims it came back, in 1995..... At any rate, I don't know ... maybe I see more of the youth into the older cars ... because I look for/seek out/associate with them more ... and pay less attention to the youngsters with the newer cars.... *shrugs* 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 What's it like to buy your favorite car brand new?

*gasps* I saw a 4th gen MC SS in there!!!! Woo hoo! Thanks for sharing, mightymouse. Holy cow ... I HAVE to get in to see this place someday.... I'd be in heaven, judging from all of the older cars in there.....

BP ... I agree ... lots of detail ... surprising detail! And, wmj ... I wondered if anyone would mention the fate of the ricers .

Hmmm....sure hope some of your fellow PA residents will go to your home town for this, BV.... Sadly, I won't be able to make it ... I'll be getting ready for the MC Nationals a week later....

Well, if they're asking this question AFTER they've already hit you, I can see why you'd be sick of hearing it . Seriously, tho, the emblem does look like where factory would've put it.....

Welp, today, I went to see "Cars" on the UltraScreen, ironically with 3 "non-car" friends, and enjoyed it immensely! Along with the storyline surrounding the Piston Cup, the movie made commentary on the "Mother Road", Route 66, and how towns along that road were once thriving places ... but went downhill after the interstates, particularly I-40, were built. I came away wanting to go on a road trip . AND....one of the announcers of the races ... the one on the right as you look at the announcers ... was a 2nd generation (1976 or 1977) Monte Carlo! So....if anyone else is interested in getting together to see it, I wouldn't mind seeing it again!

I suspect some of my MC buds are at that local cruise night, tho, I'm not sure. The First Gen MC Club had its Eastern Meet at Carlisle last year.... Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend .

CONGRATULATIONS on your graduation, NOS!!!! 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 "It goes so fast" ... Jodee Messina ... 'Was That My Life?'

Hmmm...very interesting. Hadn't thought of it like that before ... but seeing the covers ... heh...irony rocks .

My goodness ... I think I've only seen 2 of those ... "Gone In 60 Seconds" and "Smokey & the Bandit".... Hrrmm....

Hmm...well, the PA, NJ and NY Monte Carlo clubs are alive and kickin', from what I understand. They have BBQs and events throughout the year..... And, I have a bunch of friends in the areas you mentioned ... most of whom are enthusiasts.... Still ... I see what you're saying, in a way, I guess.....

*nods* Yep...I know exactly what you mean..... But, don't get me started....

Quote of the day . Heh...I hadn't even thought about it like that . Oh ... and I agree about Ice Age. I remember when we sat down to watch it one evening ... I wasn't too sure about it ... but, my cousin swore it was good ... and I loved it. Haven't seen IA2 yet, tho....hmmmm

*chuckles* I thought the "wandering eye" was to be used for something else ... instead of cars... . Seriously, tho, yes, bookmark those places ... ya never know when they might come in quite handy!

Hmmm...I wonder if it is the area that you are in? I only ask because around here ... a lot of kids (er, younger than me) are into older cars. Many of 'em show up at the car shows held in the area nightly ... and I know quite a few from my various car clubs/groups..... *shrugs* 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 "I'm just out to find the better part of me" ... 5 For Fighting ...

Holy cow, RBB ... very sorry . Hmm...maybe I'll start walking everywhere for a while.....

Hmm...then I'd think any of the sites posted for ya would work.... GOOD LUCK!

I got myself out of bed early Wednesday morning to get a haircut before work. I got to the barber shop, noted the people ahead of me (couple of middle-aged guys, an older gentleman and his grandson, about 5-8 years old), and plopped down in a chair to "rest my eyes". Within minutes, the TV blared a promo for the new movie, "Cars". My ears perked slightly, in part because I'm eager to see this movie. The promo ended, and I went back to "resting my eyes", though not for long. Within seconds, a voice piped up: "That movie doesn't look good." Suddenly, my dreary eyes were not so dreary anymore. I looked at the young kid who had just uttered those words. While my mind was wrapping itself around what the kid had just said ... and attempting to formulate a question, someone else asked what was difficult for me to figure out how to ask: "What do you mean that movie doesn't look good?" Without missing a beat, the kid replied: "It's about cars that talk and drive themselves around. That's not reality." The shop became suddenly quiet. No more discussion was had on that topic. But, my mind starting thinking.... Does this mean that today's kids are cynical about life? Or, does it mean that today's kids simply don't have an imagination? Or, does this mean that us adults (er, at least those of us who are notoriously cynical) are shedding our outlook on life on innocent children? Or? My goodness. When I was young, I had a healthy dose of General Lee, KITT and Herbie. General Lee provided the "racing" energy. Yeah, that car didn't talk ... it didn't have to ... it performed ... and that horn...oh that horn. KITT ... the dang car TALKED! Plus, it could drive itself ... and help Michael stop criminals. And, can't forget about Herbie ... the car with a mind of its own, the ability to drive itself, and the uncanny ability to deciper between good and evil people ... and appropriately act towards each one (never will forget watching Herbie spray oil on that one fella). And now, the movie "Cars", that I've been anticipating for weeks, was suddenly a movie that a young kid didn't think looked good. Aye. I can't imagine being a kid and NOT liking or wanting to see this movie.... Well, at least for me, cruising season (a definite reality) has started ... what with my older 4 MCs having made their debut in mid-May (had to get a battery for the '79, but otherwise, they all started ... and are running well) ... and being able to clean (wash, wax, etc.) the daily driver '87 MC LS for the first time this year last Saturday. Now, if only I could get sponsors for the radio show ... and figure out what the "mass" is on my liver ... and find a new job..... BTW, anyone in the Chicagoland area interested in going to see "Cars" sometime this weekend? I want to go ... but would rather not go by myself ... and it'd be cool to have a group of us see it together....
