*shakes head* No...sorry...haven't had a chance to post about this...and may not for a while. I've been online very little since last Thursday night due to severe abdominal pains.... More tests today....so, we'll see.... Sorry, NOS...don't mean to disappoint you :(.

[Would've replied sooner, but been away for a few days following my trip to the ER last Thursday.] No no no...not on the bumper. INside the car...on the back ledge behind the back seat..... Sorry I didn't make that clearer earlier.... And, no, I don't mind you doing that....as long as you give me credit...he he he

Nice, Sixty8 :). I see a few cars around here with wreaths on the front ends...but not many. Heh...I used to put garland along the back ledge of my cars....

*grins* I like that '70 MC ... thanks for sharin', Olds Guy! 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 wonder if it's too late" ... Nickelback ... 'Photograph'

He he he...I know the feeling, Josh! Every single time I've purchased a car ... have not been able to sleep....he he he. Course, sleep won't come easily tonight...for a different reason, thanks to an ER trip this evening :(. Congrats on your purchase, Josh! I expect to be given a ride in it when I'm in MI again ;).

It's nice to see others agreeing with me ;). BTW, I know of that '72 color scheme ... I know a couple people with a similar scheme right now! And, HE, I see there is a mid-90s Ford Thunderbird in that pic...he he heh.

*shrugs* Ya'll oughtta know by now what name I'd prefer. But, whatever they name it ... if the RWD coupe does come to production and for sale to the public ... I sure hope it takes over the NASCAR flagship so that you can once again "race on Sunday, purchase on Monday". You haven't been able to do that since 1988.....

I'm right there with you. I had been thinking of purchasing an '06 impala, but then I saw a mid-'70s Impala and a '95ish Impala SS in a matter of minutes one evening on the way home back from a Chevrolet dealership...and quickly put the '06 impala out of my mind for purchasing. Instead, I'll either get a "winter beater" ish car ('86-'88 Monte Carlo, '87ish Caprice Classic, '87 Olds Cutlass Supreme, '70s-'80s Impala, '80s Malibu) or get an '06 Dodge Charger.....

*grins* So do I!!!! And, fascinating just barely begins to cover it...he he he. I just enjoy seeing old reviews, old ads, etc., and, sometimes, finding humor in what was considered "state of the art" back then...he he he.

*grins* I so enjoy this "old memorabilia" ;). Thanks for sharing this, HE!!!!

Interesting. Very interesting. Done deal? I'll believe it when I see it on the road ... driven by people who've just bought one. *sighs* As for the name.............

LOL! Sweet...very sweet! Heh.

*nods* Oh, I know about those ... especially the 1st and 4th gens. Sadly, no 2nd or 3rd gens available ... frustrating, since 5th and 6th gens are available.... *shakes head* he he heh

Nice! Thanks for sharing these, HE! Hmm...wonder if they have any replicas for any RWD Monte Carlos....sure would be cool!

Um. It isn't just the auto society that utilizes this "modus operandi". Look around ... there are other companies/industries doing the exact same thing.... *shakes head* 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 "How much longer will they be around?" ... Don Williams ... 'Old Coyote Town'

*grins* Now _that_ is a good movie, imho. I saw it in the movie theatre the year it debuted. After spending the day in Nashville TN, I went to Jackson TN to spend the evening with a college buddy of mine. His wife and children were visiting her parents in Indiana, so he suggested we go see a movie ... and we decided on "O Brother Where Art Tho" ... and were NOT disappointed! As for my Thanksgiving ... well, just isn't the same anymore. But, things change. And, it was a good day ... slept in, then went to visit Gramps and took dinner to him ... turkey, cranberry sauce (my fav), sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes/gravy, green bean cassarole, stuffing, spiced apples, and, of course, pumpkin pie. Was there for nearly 5 hours...then came home to relax..... Unfortunately, had to work today. I really need to find a new job....among other things....

*nods* Excellent ... I'll start putting word out soon, then!

Same could be said for RWD.....

*raises eyebrow slightly* Yes, that is pretty darn good. But, how often do you do 0-60 in normal driving?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And, of course, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Hope ya'll have a wonderful day!

Collective Soul ... 'Feeling Better Now'

Ah...I see what you mean. Hmm....in that case, I'm all for a different painting texture/scheme!

NOS, Let me know if you'd like me to "put the word out" to other forums, etc., about this group discount ... the more we have the better, it seems....

Any particular reason why? Just curious...not trying to be "argumentative" ... it's just, well, the non-metallic colors, to me, just seem so "bland" these days.... Course, on the other hand, scratches aren't as noticeable...he he he.

*chuckles* You aren't the only one.... A few people I stopped to see on both of my road trips....leave keys in the ignition all the time. Me, on the other hand...I'm not only taking the keys with me, but I'm quickly locking the door as I open it, to be sure it is locked when I go to close it...he he he. The year between my senior year of HS and my first year of college, I worked for the local school district's summer maintance department. On that crew was a guy that, at the time, lived a block from where my grandparents lived...and, of course, drove a Monte Carlo ... red, 1977 model. Well, one day, I got to his house to go to work (I walked there and rode with him to the job site) and he was just getting up. He yelled out the window, "Take my car and get to work." I asked him for his keys...his response: "I always leave 'em in the car." I was stunned...this is NOT a small town ... and thefts occur regularly.... But, he said he had done that all his life....
