Cool signage- looks like a Buick-Opel-Montreal Expos dealership. ;)

That's going back a few legal documents... - - - - - ^ Robert WIlliams ^ - - - - - v Keith Weesner v

Boat load of boats ~

Don't know that I have a response to this query. I don't get much hands-on exposure to different stock this new (within 5 years).

My tire machine is a 1950s, fully manual Coates.

Great story

Call me when the average consumer can buy a formula 1 car, and, Cadillac built an S75 for decades.

Stopped by a Buick-GMC dealer on the way home from a job. They had 4 crew cab 6.5-ft bed Sierras, so I looked them over & was able to 'cement' a few particulars. A so-called 'double cab' (extended cab) is absolutely out- too small in the rear seat. Why this is the prevailant configuration is beyond me. For some reason, when I was looking at Silverados late last year, they seemed incredibly high (bedsides), but not these. Including the double cabs, there were SLs, SLT, Elevations & Denalis, and they were basically the same heights and none were too tall. A great thing. So there was a CC/6.5 SL there, red, 5.3L, dealer had stuck on 'splash guards' ($180) and full-length running boards ($725), and I would have both of those featured removed. However, I think I'd need the 20" rims- anyone know if a dealer can swap 20"s in place of 18"s? The 20s are a good 3 inches taller, my question is, is there any GM mandate prohibiting swapping, for computer issues? Need to get inside one next. Finally seeing some pretty good deals on the SIlverado side- $7K off on a few. - - - - - Coming soon, the Hellephant :D ~

Nah- no one knows what an 's73' is- the halo effect rained down from the S65, and now that's dead. Flushed the halo effect down the drain and the reverberations will ripple all down the line and sedans sales will falter even faster than they already are. You know - if you believe any of this bullshit.

Get ready for another drop in mercedes car sales. Not just from the V-12 discontinuation... but from the thousands of people who bought a $30K CLA JUST BECAUSE there was a $150K V-12 available (that they had no intention OR means to buy). Could be catastrophic.

I see financial shows on TV issue declarations of which commentators own/don't own what. But I see your point. I considered buying Ford when it was around $2 10 years ago- I was confident it wasn't going anywhere as a company. Could've bought a few thousand shares and made $12K since.

There is ONE slight difference. Fiats are known quality problem child- going back... forever. It's expected. Tesla is a brand new, luxury-priced entity; pointing out widespread quality issues isn't a bash as much as it's a public service announcement. Think of the 100s of thousands of depositers who might be making a very regretable mistake, that can be saved from a potential headache and save $50K-60K. Thats' just being neighborly, IMO. ;)

I see 4 near me- guess I was wrong & they are trickling out. - - - - - There is probably no other vehicle that more people know the name of but have no idea what one looks like; the REO Speedwagon :

I posted this tidbit here years back, came across it again & it bears repeating IMO. I greatly enjoy stories of windfalls. - - - - - When the initial investors for the Ford Motor Company were being assembled in 1903, the list was short- only 14 individuals (HF was one). The ante was $100/share. One man greatly believed in the budding enterprise, and desperately wanted 25 shares ($2500). His problem was, his life savings amounted to but $400. He managed to get a high-rate bank loan for $1500, got a $500 bonus for greatly upping his employer's coal delivery sales ... and he implored his schoolteacher sister to contribute. Her life savings were only $200, but she reluctantly agreed to lend him $100. With his 25 shares now in hand and Ford soon proven to be solvent, the man came back to his sister. Instead of repaying her the $100, he gave her a single share of Ford Motor Company. When Henry Ford began a vigorous stock buy-back in 1919, the sister was able to tally her benefits of owning 1 share of stock. She had realized $95,000 in dividends, and the single share sold back to Ford netted her $260,000. Her $100 investment returned her $355,000. - - - - - Of course it's staggering to compare the 'then & now' - FoMoCo stock has been parked under $10/share for at least a decade.

Somewhere out on the interwebs there's a discussion board focusing pointedly on genitalia, where a poster shows up bi-monthly to make a random, manic comment on the auto industry.

Finally!! Does look good- what are the available bed lengths (looks like an 8-fter above)? This to report via local dealer shopping : 6 months into the model year and quite basically STILL no crew cab 6.5- bed 1500s out there. Ford, however, has plenty F-150s in that configuration. - - - - - Interesting concept- this ad is from 1944, when dealers were 2 years into having ZERO new product to sell, so car dealers were buyers instead.

I appreciate you thinking of me!

All the dealer sites I've been frequenting (idly shopping locally) all list both the MSRP and their discounted price online. Of course, most will deal further, almost immediately. That said, I agree that the $50K-neighborhood RS is too high. The non-RS models are in the mid 30s, and those will be the vast bulk of sales.

Great ages to enjoy a family-orient beach vaca. If you do go, enjoy! RE the Buick- there's no worries about signed forms agreeing not to drive it- it has no engine/trans. Or interior, or glass, or front clip. You get a rolling shell with front & rear suspension, but not the title. I'll take my $2K in crisp Franklins, please. And your charitable contribution is very likely not tax deductible... Now... if you wish to PURCHASE the car, we're going to have to talk real numbers. Real big numbers... but you get the title and everything I have for it. We can talk. - - - - - This caption is erroneous, because smk told us it's impossible for a car to exceed 125 MPH unless it has overdrive. Plus, this car only has 368 HP; case closed!

Must've been the photog before Madler. - - - - - 442 - how old are your kids? We used to go to Wildwood every summer when my sons were growing up, and we'd day-trip to Cape May. The WIldwoods have amusement piers and are a lot more kid-oriented. We had good times there, I miss going.

All the major welder OEMs have a few 110 machines. Eastwood catalog on hand is showing 3 MIG welders; (1) 120, (1) 240 and (1) 120 OR 240. Their TIG's show (2) 110-220 and (1) 220-240. Mine's a Lincoln. I would have to believe there's thicker metal on old vehicles than refrigerator units, but who knows (I have some experience around a dozen different commercial fridge/freezer units). The way mine is currently set up, it'll do 12 ga (.105"), but if using different consumables, it will do 5/16". '50s-60s auto sheet metal is either 16 or 14 ga. - - - - - Early clay for the XP-8 '51 LeSabre, note it wore a Chevy truck steering wheel during mock-up.
