*grins* Ya know, I can just about hear Waylon Jennings say these words ... you know, like he used to end some episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard with something like, "...and that's how the Dukes...." He he he Sounds like you've had a bunch of ups and downs, Sixty8. I definitely like that red Caddy ;).

*chuckles* Yes, I believe it is a word.... And, no worries ... just take pics ... and I'll see what's up ... if nothing else, some of the parts may be salvagable...or not.

*chuckles devilishly* At least they didn't put 'em as stand-up hood ornaments ;). Seriously, though, some of the ones I've seen have left me wondering why they put 'em where they did ... but, I'm not sure where a good place to put 'em would be.....

Ah, see ... for me, I don't care what kind of car it is ... I just love seeing the old ads :). And, Sixty8...sweet ones you posted :).

Josh, daves, HE and AAS, Thank you :). bv, Do get pics of those cars ... especially the Monte Carlo ... I may know of someone who wants the entire car ... or just a few parts ;). And, NOS, yes, yes I do....heh.

Nice :). He he he...it's so cool to see advertisements from "yesteryear"! Thanks for sharing, HE :).

*taps foot* I'm still waiting................. And, uh, yes, cinnamon. And, uh, yes, as I mentioned in last night's post, I have driven it. Sadly, no helicopters tho :(.

*grins* Thank you Z28, ocn & blackviper :). *pauses and turns to NOS* Bro....first you skip out on me (i.e. don't have time for me) when I'm in Michigan, then you turn around and post a pic of one of THOSE cars? *shakes head* Where the heck is "respect for your elders" these days? ;) LOL! Just kiddin', of course :). And, Sixty8 ... awesome pics, bro ... thank you for posting those :). Brightened my day..... Heh...btw, I see your sig has KITT in it. One of the guys on the MyMonte board (5th gen, 1995-99) has his car looking very similar in style to KITT (black, similar wheels, the red light in the grill area) ... and, quite frankly, it is, indeed, awesome :). Again, thank you everyone :)!

*glares at Sixty8* Dangumit, what the heck is the story on this Caddy addition for ya? Some family friends of ours have a '79 Cadillac Sedan D'Elegance (iirc) ... cinnamon brown color ... it is GORGEOUS! John let me drive it when I was visiting them in TN a year ago ... he he he 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 kept my heart hidden" ...

I'm currently 31 ... and agree with much of what has already been posted, AH-HA....

*chuckles* A friend of mine did just about this very thing a few years ago. He bought a used 2000 Chevy pick-up, which gave him a bunch of problems. He turned around a month later, sold the Tahoe to an unsuspecting young kid and purchased a used 2000 GMC pick-up. The GMC has never given him problems (still has it, in fact). Thus, he swears he will never own another Chevy ... sad part is, I had to point out to him that the trucks are virtually identical....he he heh.

*nods* I had a blast that afternoon for lunch, too, Josh. Definitely glad we were able to work our schedules out to eat lunch ... and to be near the Tech Center was a definite plus ;). Heh...can you believe it has been a MONTH ago already? Aye...time flies....

WOW! Seeing those pics kind of makes me want to hop on a plan and fly to a number of different countries...just to check out the show rooms in person ;). Interesting...very interesting....

I like that idea ... very much!

LOL! Heh...you might be right ;).

dangumit...just my luck...he he heh.

....which would be reminiscent/preview of the Saturn "quad coupes"...or whatever they are called.... Hmmm.....

Friendly reminder in case anyone wants to join those of us meeting up in Dubuque THIS Sunday.....

Alrighty....so, anyone interested in the IL cruise? Lookin' at October 22....

*nods* Thank you, HE! I was stunned when I saw that pic for the first time.... Course, now that I've looked at it a few times, it looks less'n'less like the Sky/Solstice duo ... but, still ... kind of eerie, if you ask me....

This sounds as clear as.... ...mud. Er, or something like that.... *shakes head* Aye....all of this talk/speculation is starting to wear very thin......

Oh my goodness.... Is it just me ... or does that concept look a bit like the Saturn Sky (and it's Pontiac counterpart)...? Regardless, I like it :).

Sounds like a plan, Josh! I'll try to remember to let you know far enough ahead of time that I'm coming to Detroit so we can set something up... As for GM's mega celebration in a few years...did I miss something?

CRAP! For some reason, I was under the impression that it is not open to the public. Had I known it is open to the public, I would've taken the time to go see it when I was in Detroit, especially since Josh and I ate lunch right across the street from the Tech Center....aye :(. Ah, well ... that gives me another reason to get back to Detroit ;). No, I got your point. The difference, as others have already pointed out, is that GM owns this Museum ... Toyota does not own that place in Chicago.....
