  1. From the rear it could just as well be a toyoter or hyundai; supremely generic.
  2. mercedes C or E wrapped in 'shit fly' green chrome vinyl
  3. With a 15-gal 'cushion' in my tank, I run it down til the 'low fuel' light blazes for a day, then I fill it to the brim, every time. Amounts to around $55 every week & a half.
  4. Found a few more vintage plates where states embraced the same 'outline' concept, but obviously the ability to do so is limited. Firstly tho, who wouldn't want to top their '50s TN plate with another TN-shaped topper?
  5. Dig the wackadoodle TN license plate frame ~ Why can't we do anything cool like this anymore?
  6. 2020 Silverado Midnight Edition ~
  7. I have a GM pickup, (I think it’s the GMT800), and it has a 34 gal tank. ?
  8. • As listed above, the 250 & 350 have the same pan, so yes. • THM400 is a monster, can be built to handle anything.
  9. You didn’t just bring up vehicle fires in an EV conversation, did you? ?
  10. If every EV owner did this, the public chargers would all be completely empty til at least noon. Wonder why I always see them with at least a half dozen cars there at 9AM?
  11. Saw that in the build/price online- people were asking for that loudly & Chevy did it. I wish the 6.2 ran on regular tho.
  12. That wasn't a THM200 behind the 260? Dad had a TH200 (I think) behind a '77 Pontiac 301 V8. Looking at a '75-82 Chiltons, there were the following: THM180 THM200 THM 250 / 350 / 375B THM400 THM425 The above are grouped by pan shape, so the 250/ 350/ 375B were the same basic unit. The 400 & 425 are strongly related, but of course the 425 was configured for the FWD E-Bodies. I never heard of the THM180 before today.
  13. I think they both merely look ‘current’.
  14. new MB reminds me of the Cadillac :
  15. Try and deny it.
  16. Losing market share while keeping the same number of vehicle lines is a Not Good. But cutting under-performing lines and losing market share is something that the balance sheet needs to be seen to evaluate.
  17. Lowly lil ol' Plymouth, duking it out with a factory LeMans 3-time champion prototype and a couple italian "exotics". :D
  18. ^ 156,246.
  19. Car design is basically dead. It’s been a long, fun, interesting time, but its done.
  20. I guess my initial point was, porsche styling is stuck in 'P'.
  21. To porsch-O-philes, I guess. IMO, the GP is a heritage modern version of past Pontiac designs.
  22. My buddy just pulled the running I-6 out of his '77 Malibu coupe last week (to replace it with a 454). Not sure of the miles on it, but it was running fine / car is in good shape. The '75 I knew only in '84-85; never saw the guy after that. At 10 years old, it was in excellent shape and ran the highway fine. It had no power to speak of, but once it got up to 80 MPH, it held it fine. I had a Super Six (Slant Six) Plymouth, a '78, and that was the same way. Sold it at about 95K miles because I just HAD to get into a 14 yer OLDER car instead (You know me!). Not powerful, but it got the job done. I heard that car was still going at least 5 years after that (at which point it was about 18 yrs old), but the MoPar Slant Six was the SBC of sixes- runs forever.
  23. One certainly could argue that...
  24. I question whether Fiskar can survive financially at that price tier, but if buyers bite, this potentially strong-arms all other EV CUVs in pricing.
