Are the W bodies gone yet?
Thank you. And FWD or RWD or AWD is each person's preference. I like to say that I have spent time in both FWD & RWD and can appreciate each in their differences.

You made me go to the basement and dig up the 3.5 disc with this pic. This is quite the thread, as most of the cars I have owned have been mentioned here for good or bad. Had an '81 Regal with 3.8L. Nice looking, horrible engine. Then came '85 Celebrity Eurosport. Again, nice car, reliable, kind sporty but still economical with the 2.8L. Worked well as college car. Then '88 Cutlass International probably my second favorite W-car I have owned. Great car despite first MY fears. Everything done right, and loved the little touches. Then '94 Cutlass Supreme (3.4 DOHC), if '88 was good, '94 should be better, right? Not necessarily. Having owned them back to back I could see every cost reduction that was done between '88 and '94 and didnt like many of them. Still a distinctive car on the road and I kind of miss this car for the looks alone. Then there was a Bonneville SSEi, not really part of this discussion, but maybe my favorite car of all. Then '04 GP GTP - yes the SC3800 was beautiful powertrain. The interior left some to be desired. And now of course the '06 GP GXP. Gotta love a V8, and interior improvements help this car over the '04. Throw in a '69 442 to the mix and I have had some fun in my GM cars. Now, that said, I too couldnt stomach the FWD move when it happened. But you know, in snow its great. And you can have some fun in FWD if you spend enough time getting to know how the car handles. Since I have been driving a W-car since 1991, with the excpetion of the SSEi years, I have gotten to know them pretty well, and I think I can hustle these cars around pretty good at this point. Especially now with FE4 on the GXP. You just learn to adjust to the way the car reacts.

I don't know. I kind of liked the hidden handles in the Cutlass coupe. Made the door clean without handle. And the seatbelts were a poor answer to automatic seatbelts. Agreed there that was a bad idea from the get go. As far as the interiors, I loved my '88 Cutlass International. It was a durable cloth, not the weird velour of so many cars. And it has style, as the cloth had striping in the material. And the air bag seat adjustments were just right. All in all I really liked that ineterior, even the 2+2 seating with rear center console.

Yeah, I picked up the blue TA but havent seen the maroon GN. The Ram & Challenger have also both been released in a dark red. The Charger is out in a rust orange. The Ferrari 250 is out in (what else?) bright red. The Ferrari 599 is out in black and the Cayman in silver.

Trying to figure out the name and band of a song
First I am shocked that this was figured out so quickly. Second, dammit, now I have to go out and pick that up on CD, since I never upgraded.

What is Wrong With These Guys?
- Looking For a Few Models...
I dont know. I've used the little touch-up cans without issue. Just primed the car with a model primer first. I did a Trams Am model in Bright Aqua Metallic.- 2007 Hot Wheels
Sorry, Roger. If I would have seen this sooner, I would have replied sooner. The K mart cars were the yellow Dodge Ram, gray Datsun 280 and the white GMC Motorhome. Other than those, the K I went to didnt get very good cases. Lots of stuff already on the pegs.- More new stuff
So, here is some new stuff. First off a new paint scheme on the Hot Wheels '67 Camaro And next a couple quirky 70's models, Motor Max '76 Vega & '78 Chevette. These are also available in the colors in the card in the packaging- Comedians
My list is very similar to Hudson's except I'd add Chinaman and Jeff Dunham. I'd probably drop Ellen from the above, as I just don't find her funny. Mitch Hedberg - R.I.P. I loved his stuff. Gone way too young.- Comedians
The guy who does the voices is Frank Caliendo. He was also on Mad TV.- 2007 Hot Wheels
The Matchbox Charger does look more realistic. It's been released in dk red, dk blue, silver & black. - Looking For a Few Models...
