  1. So I didn't pass English, Got a problem? The Corvair was killed by Nader and "Unsafe at any speed" GM really never had a quality issues, the cars ran fine. They had the Corporate issues, "How to make and save more money." So we got stuck with lifeless blandmobiles. Technically the Fireo should be on this list as well. However the Dealers are the ones that jacked the prices so high no one want them.
  2. protection is $129 an hour. Recommenced if going below 8 mile and west of Lafayette. Or where that Dave87rs lives. :AH-HA_wink:
  3. Take the average person if you start shooting at them they will freeze up from shock and fear. yes if they all mobbed together they could of accomplished something, but I doubt only 5% of them where in a condition to counter attack. Yeah we can plan in it our heads on what we would of done. Its not until it happens to you that you know what emotion and panic ensues as something shocking happens like this. Unless your trained or prepared for something like this to happen I bet you would panic or freeze up. Talk is everything until it happens to you. Getting shot fells like someone stabbed you with a hot soldering iron. so its not like you only have a flesh wound and can keep fighting. Its just horrible to think that kids getting a education and preparing for a successful life get shot up. If it were some druggies it would be much better. Although this goes without saying that a bet more than 33 where killed/injured in Iraq in the past couple of days and thats been going on for 4-5 years.
  4. god i hope i don't get hit by a train. Because that would scratch the vest and my last one cost damn near $3500
  5. I was thinking about the list of cars that where failures but should of been successful. the short list please add or comment Aztek looks are out there but the versatility is amazing. Thunderbird should of had more power but a very nice car. SSR Too slow and pricey but again very nice car. A dream on the back roads. The GTO sorta but it still sold. Theres a bunch out there but these are the top 3 in my book.
  6. hmm the "Caprice" is still pure. but all hatred aside the W bodies sold millions and supported the company in a half ass way while it failed. So the W-body Probably for its life span a mild success. I know let me hear it...
  7. Why? Trust me theres Nothing gratifying in taking a life. In Todays society NO ONE will care if you need to see professional help with these things. Thats why they are there so you don't go on killing sprees. Very Shameful.
  8. ATV? ridding lawn mower?
  9. Do you know how much it would cost to move? the tech center alone has to be a billion dollar operation. Its a huge complex to just move. who would buy the Renaissance Center too? Its Detroit's only known icon know and they have ad space right on it.
  10. Well thanks for that big F U! You have no idea how much that would cripple michigan further. were already 4 billion in debt since the middle class isnt working over time so there goes all there tax money. Besides they have a huge complex in arizona some where dont they? Like a 2nd head quarters. Also GM is starting to hire people this week i heard of 10 people being hired by GM. Also Why move? Is Michigan not local? Do you not see us on the Map? Well hopefully Canada can just finish teh buyout since we are there land fill even no they have millions of acres of land up there. Plus if canada bought us out i would have healthcare too.
  11. Show me one thats under $1,500 American

    Car Talk

    call up Cuba and ask how many miles are on there cars.
  13. after getting out the catalogs and writing the list of parts i need from oil to the block, Its going to cost me either 12,659 with a 410 hp Edelbrock create or 8,790 for a ZZ4 hand build up with about 380 hp. thats just getting it so the car can drive then add on radiators and trans coolers and rear axles and computers and gauges and new tires, plus new paint so theres another 5-6 grand. once you get to that point is it worth it? yeah i will have a sweet car, but with that i can buy and clean up the 66 Toronado i want to get. To revamp the caprice they way i want it is going to be almost a 20-25% of my salary i make a year. last year i made 90k so do the math. Its more than what you could possibly make at your age. when i was at that age i spent most of my money on girl friends, food, stereos, keeping the mustang running, and well drugs. So do what others are telling you get a reliable car thats good on gas and cheap to maintain. cough* J body or S-10 Cough* and get more social instead of think what car to get all the time. At your age friends will be more benifical then any car. Then start saving for college and once your done then build the car of your dreams.
  14. have you been smoking
  15. Got a letter today about it. http://www.grabthekeys.com/ at the Palace of Auburn hills. 25 different GM vehicles. 2 different courses. 1 great weekend. If you have friends or neighbors who own or are considering a competitive product, here's your chance to have them put new GM cars and trucks through their paces. Plus, we'll have complimentary beverages and snacks. I wish I could go, but I'm busy that weekend. So For you Michigan people sign up and tells us how it is.
  16. (No wonder i never get any food)
  17. um.... Hopefully you dont keep it on for what the 5th day now? and WMJ what is that duck looking for?
  18. To bad we gave up on the easiest solution.
  19. Call me crazy but, I'd rather have this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oldsmobile-...1QQcmdZViewItem before a 70 El Camino. I have to jump on one of these soon there market price keeps climbing. Its either a 66 Toro or drop a Edelbrock EFI create in the Caprice. Decisions Suck. That is very clean Camino though. Plus its modified perfectly nothing to crazy.
  20. I saw a Geo Metro with hood clips some guy tried to race me with a Vue, He had no chance. A 2007 mustang GT and me chased each other on the highway. He was faster but I was always on his ass. I saw a Newer Camry have a brake line blow out at a light. Haven't seen a tundra on a road yet. saw a brand new srt 8 magnum sounds good in the high rpms
  21. when leaving work if i don't burn out, the rest of the day will suck.
  22. Heh in Michigan you have to make a windshield claim weekly. I-94 + Gravel Hauler = Broken windshield. Just claim it if they raise there rates, which they wont, go in and threaten them with "screw you mother f@#kers theres 1000's of insurance companies that are cheaper than you in there first place, looks likes you lost my business and anyone i know that uses you." Don't be afraid to be the squeaky wheel.
  23. LMAO!!!! Only 1 night? Try 11 days and 16 hours with limited food and water while constantly doing Military stuff. (shooting, running, Hand to Hand combat, Survalance, Stuff like that) In the hot desert days and cold desert night. Once you can do that come talk to me. Trust me it F'ed me up for life. I cant sleep ever maybe 2 hours a night if that.
  24. >
  25. :AH-HA_wink: seriously the harder the surface the better i sleep. If i sleep though. Life is too short to sleep. I get my best sleep when i roll of the couch and i find myself on carpet.
