This is the new, efficient way of making a quote. Takes up less bandwidth; it's more cyber-ecologically friendly. It's OK, though, new ideas sometimes take longer for older folks to adopt ... :rotflmao:

58, even in a 65, is not more than 10 below the limit- so the (lack of) speed is not a legal issue. Only thing left is the 'obstruction of the normal flow of traffic' (hards to imagine on a 4-lane road) or if he was riding in the right lane or not- neither which is clarified in this piece.

What- you're still here, Winnie ?? :rotflmao: I thought you had Big Important Grown Up Things To Do ?? :rotflmao: >>"You should work harder and faster on it, you're losing the race ... "<< I have no hopes of approaching the masterful status of the pacesetter on this one ! :rotflmao:

In this era, we have a few dozen to choose from on this.... hopefully 66 gets a chance to take another view and/or get an ID...

>>"Well of course, why wouldn't you be speaking of my keyboard?"<< But of course; it's only EVER about you. I don't make an incessant habit of assumptions about things I know nothing about. Lil' quirk of mine; I'm working on it. :rotflmao:

I like it; you may have nailed it, cubitar! Round hole may correspond to the fuel tank filler, as the one you posted has it's in the same area. RE: 2nd pic- I don't see the separation between the body & the rear apron in 66's pic, tho....

>>"Mine isn't a qwerty board my KEYBOARD is in a V shape, it's also a German Keyboard. Apparently English is not yours either from what I surmise ..."<< Ah, I see; you surmised I was referring to your keyboard. Excellent Germanic analysis, as usual. :rotflmao:

I can't tell if it's a truck cab, or a 'fordor'- looks like the latter.

>>"Is typing like keying ???"<< Uhh, both use the same qwerty board don't they, or is English still not your first language ? :rotflmao:

>>"I wonder why they went retro and didn't use a current 300C instead..."<< Maybe they wanted it to be both cool & interesting.

I'm out in the yard right now, leaning thru a window and typing this ..... can anybody guess into which room it is and how many sharpened pencils I have in my sharpened pencil tin can ??? :wacko:

Saw a brand new fit on the side of the road, hood up, battery pack charger and cables hooked up, owner standing around looking pissed. :rotflmao:

Like ferraris & lambos- weird ungainly proportions. Or audis.

Red clay G6 is horrible, B&W update needs (all) details refined, the production car is 10x better than either of those, hands-down. Of course, the 'chopped' proportions of the show concept rank over the other 3.

>>"Hyundia quality has gotten much better but no one said they were perfect."<< No, but unfortunately many are saying it's 'good'. I'm saying it's nothing to talk about, period, and there's no way in hell they've improved enough to eradicate the horrible quality streak that colors their short history.

My book agrees with that claim- interesting. Pontiac has had numerous pioneering features. 1958 - first make to move the A/C compressor /equipment underhood (vs. the trunk). 1960 - first integral brake drum/wheel. 1966 - first use of molded plastic for grillework (vs. metal, primairily 'pot' metal). 1967 - first use of 'hidden' windshield wipers. 1968 - first use of body-colored bumpers ("Endura"). 1969 - first use of in-windshield antennas. Quick ones off the top of my head- there's more. Pontiac was also the last marque to stop production as a result of Gov. material rationing going into WW II.

>>"Somehow, I don't think in 40 years we will see yards like this full of Camrys, Accords, and other modern generica."<< That's because unpainted modern sheetmetal wouldn't last 5 years out in the elements- it's all literally paper-thin.

GMTG -- that's YOU !!!!!

From '29 thru '40, Ford could do nothing wrong if they tried, stylistically. The 'regular' '40 pickups are cool, too. I forgot Olds had an A- I don't remember seeing any pics...

Great pics- keep 'em coming ! A lot of the vintage stuff is really pretty bad tho- tough to look at. But that '63 wagon is gorgeous- wagons now are rare enough that I can strongly appreciate even Chevy versions! -- -- -- -- -- 66- WHAT IS THIS to the right ??? :: Fabric roof insert says '30s. Depending on what it is/ body style/ cancer - that's worth some bucks right there.

I cannot fathom industrial metallurgy so &#036;h&#33;ty to have a structural piece as important as a suspension component rot thru & break in 10 years. I've seen suspension components sitting out in the open for 50 years that are still 90% there.

Who here's got a Model A Ford ?? Don't forget this chunky monkey (1940 Ford) :

But 'hyundai has come SO FAR !!' and 'improved SO MUCH' and is 'trying SO HARD' and 'providing what the American people OBVIOUSLY WANT' and now 'have TRUELY COMPETITIVE vehicles' .... why would any individual or entity wish to spread accounts of misfortune or the substandard ?

Not that this is a suggestion, but OMG- th-there's.... STYLE in a late '70s car ?!? Clean machine!

66Stang - >>"There are 3 Japanese cars I am a fanboi of- The 240Z, The Rx-7, first generation, The Miata, first and second generation. You can pretty much have everything else."<< I do like the 1st gen rx-7 to a mild degree, I'll give you that... but have never like the 240z, which I find 'clunky'. Miata to me is completely generic & without distinction (sorry!).
