i was under the impression clicking the "z28" box automatically got you a stick... did that stop after 69?

i think it prolly has more to do with all the competitors but toyota dropping out in the next 3 yrs than with trying to "help" the big 3's cause. dont know how many race fans would show up to a race if it was a toyo show

i remember reading that article in the hemmings muscle machines mag. i'm suprised ole craig jackson hasnt stumbled his way over there to ensure the auctions stay strong.

just found this tid bit on another forum... knowing was nagging me to look it up all day. These figures are from the 348-409 website: 1962 Bel Air Sport Coupe 8 cyl (American) = 5940 1962 Bel Air Sport Coupe 6 cyl (American) = 3825 1962 Bel Air Sport Coupe 8 cyl (Canadian) = 710 1962 Bel Air Sport Coupe 6 cyl (Canadian) = 2045 1962 Bel Air Sport Coupe..409 (approxim) = 600 that is from a thread at http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/200529/ he quotes his source at www.348-409.com but i cant find his chart.

i loved toonami when i was DBZ, gundam, robotech and the like. Big O was great (new season supposedly starting), full metal, ruroni kenshin (sp), samurai champloo, cowboy bebop, the list goes on. right now i am stuck on bleach and code geas and shin chan though it kinda is a step child of anime. oh almost forgot vash the stampede hehe

i've seen that blue one before it's sick. like putting a zx 1100 on a go cart.

i was told the sport coupe was the proper term across the board but i call it what it is, bubble top. i wished they had made a version of the impala but the roof was limited to the belair only in '62. ive read in several magazines that the reason for the roof on the belair is for the drag racers. i'n not sure about that number it seems kinda high.. i'll have to check my hemmings for that one, seems like there were less than 15,000 by what i read... the really low numbered ones are the 409 4spds

61 Bubble top + 62 lines =

heres one like my aunt had at one time. i wish i had the 8 grand to take her home. truly a hard to find car in reasonable shape. 1964 buick wildcat

in my dads nova's instrument cluster the numbers dashes words whatnot are the white-green color the luminescent type markings. is that correct for a 68? my 69 impala's are the green-white but i was under the impression, as was he, that the lettering and all was supposed to be plain white. can anyone confirm this for me?

take a moment today to reflect on what happend at 0700 1941

no simpler way to put it, exactly

if you are on your feet all day, one pair of new balance will make you forget every other shoe. just make sure you get a 600 or above. the higher the number the better the support. when im off the clock i got a pair of wolverine's i can spend all day in.

hehe for some reason when i read that i thought about the dane cook skit about the public restrooms

Yeah that douche chavez was boo hooing about his country not having the money to run power because the price of oil was so low now... guess they should have stuck some dough back when we were getting ripped a new one... or maybe heres a thought raise their own gas prices. even a 2-5 cent hike in price makes a difference.

NASCAR only sees $$ now, they could care less what happens due to their actions. its not for the fans if it was tickets wouldnt be $80 to sit in half of a folding chair in the nosebleed section. they wouldnt have closed all the great historic short tracks like north wilksburough and there would be still 2 races at darlington each year. they are as far from what NASCAR was founded on as the east is from the west. bill france has already rolled over 5 or 6 times in his grave by now.

it looks as though people realizing times are getting tight. nascar is too big its the new football i guess, if you want to see some good grass roots racing look for the hooters pro cup series. they are pretty decent.

ate slept and bled nascar... until about 6 years ago, now its just a shadow of itself and what it represented. i'd say truthfully its last hoorah was the late 80's to mid 90's

OJ and crew were just sentenced to 15 yrs, must serve 6 before eligible for parole. just saw that on tru tv thought i'd spit that out there if anyone cared.

but wouldnt that be badge engineering? wouldnt that just get gm back to where they are now?

good article until i read the comments at the bottom. i cant wait for the big 3 to fail now. i want them to go on so bad i cant stand it but everyone around me is cheering for their blood. i just hope if they do go under, those in the stands cheering find themselves indirectly unemployed

at this point i think they could have the cure for cancer and there would somehow be disdane because it wasnt cherry flavored... the bold paragraghs could be completely left out of that news story and there would be absolutely no detraction from the coverage.

SOMERSET, Pa. – The head of the nation's largest automaker took perhaps the most important car ride of his life Wednesday, traveling 500 miles, mostly over highway through four states, to Washington, D.C., where he will ask Congress for a second time to save his slumping company. Two weeks ago Rick Wagoner flew to Washington on a corporate jet. This time the chief executive of General Motors Corp. made the trip in one of his company's black hybrid Chevrolet Malibu, driving part of the way. He periodically made calls on his cell phone while in the passenger seat and wore sunglasses to protect from the glare of a sunny day. Wagoner will be back in the spotlight Thursday and Friday, along with fellow CEOs Alan Mulally of Ford Motor Co. and Robert Nardelli of Chrysler LLC, when they appear before the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee to appeal for financial aid totaling up to $34 billion. Wagoner's plea will be the most desperate. GM submitted a plan to Congress on Tuesday that called for $18 billion in loans and warned that the 100-year old iconic American company won't have enough money to run its business without an immediate cash infusion of $4 billion. All three CEOs made the trip to Washington in high-mileage hybrid vehicles — the types of cars critics say the Detroit Three should have been making more of instead of becoming enamored of higher-profit, less fuel-efficient vehicles like SUVs and Hummers. Wagoner's Malibu was accompanied on Wednesday's trip by two other vehicles — a Buick Lucerne, which runs on fuel that is 85 percent ethanol, and a Chevy Cobalt XFE, the brand's highest-mileage vehicle. He is expected to arrive at the hearing Thursday morning in a test version of the Chevy Volt, the extended-range electric vehicle GM is bringing out in late 2010. A reporter tailed the caravan from the Ohio-Pennsylvania border to Washington, D.C. Traffic was light most of the way through Pennsylvania. The posted speed limit varied between 55 and 65 miles per hour. The caravan routinely exceeded the speed limit by about 5 mph. The group made two stops, one at about 1 p.m. at the South Somerset Travel Plaza in western Pennsylvania, where they had lunch at a Quiznos sandwich shop. About 2 1/2 hours later, they stopped at a Pilot gas station to fuel their vehicles, and Wagoner went inside to get coffee. Taking to the road like regular Americans was necessary after the CEOs' last visit for hearings in November turned into a public relations disaster. Lawmakers learned that all three had flown in separate corporate jets to ask for the bailout dollars, and critics lambasted the CEOs. When asked if the bad experience two weeks ago was the motivation for driving, GM spokesman Edd Snyder, who traveled in the caravan along with Wagoner, two engineers and two security guards, said making cars "is what we do for a living and people should see them." Ford's Mulally, in an interview from the road Tuesday, had acknowledged the symbolism of driving. "We need to demonstrate that we heard their concerns and show we are willing to change," he said in an e-mail. "This is a small way of showing that." Wagoner's group arrived in Washington, D.C., during rush hour in heavy traffic on the Capital Beltway. They took the George Washington Memorial Parkway into the city, and stopped for the night at the JW Marriott Hotel, just blocks from the White House. Wagoner and his colleagues got out of their cars and told a photographer they were tired and were planning to retire for the night, just a little after 5 p.m. Some members of the party did eventually go to the hotel restaurant in the evening but Wagoner wasn't among them. The cheapest room at the JW Marriott goes for $399 per night. A suite goes for just under $800. A guest in the restaurant can buy a glass of Kendall Jackson Sauvignon Blanc for $15 and eat a $15 club sandwich with turkey, bacon and lettuce for the same price. A crabcake sandwich is the most expensive on the menu at $21. GM's Snyder said Wagoner plans to drive back to Michigan, though he didn't say when. Driving round-trip cost about $100 per car, including gas and tolls. Ford announced Tuesday that it will sell its five corporate jets, and GM said it would close its corporate jet operations on Jan. 1 and try to sell the remainder of the lease time on its seven aircraft. Ron Gettelfinger, head of the United Auto Workers, will once again join Wagoner, Nardelli and Mulally before Congress. He is traveling to the hearings in Washington on a commercial flight, just as he did two weeks ago. Gettlefinger has typically traveled to other union business on commercial flights but is often seen driving to events near Detroit with his wife. ___ AP Auto Writer Tom Krisher in Detroit contributed to this report. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081204/ap_on_...utos_ceo_travel
