A Horse With No Name

Nice looking Z there, BP!

Glad your enjoying it... MORE...

I'm with 'blu on this one...

Critical injuries still happen with modern cars. I have a guy I race against who has a modern BMW (1 series). He got rear ended, and spent 2 and a half months off of work and in rehab. Insurance company fixed the car even though it had like 18 thou in damages...

Having owned (a long time ago) a two door Omni that was a decent but not fantastic little car, I'd have to disagree with the article. I've seen Turbo Chryco 4 bangers of the era embarrass SS 396 Chevelles at the drag strip, so...no I wouldn't call these a failure. ...and the smaller miklls are fu n to rev too. Looking forward to test driving a sonic myself, I've heard lots of great things from owners about how much they love their cars.

I have a huge fetish for vintage alfa's like this one... Since I posted a Miata for myself, I'm going to post this for Balthazar...

I think that this might be a Camino for Camino, but can't tell for sure through the foliage... No doubt about the last two being El Camino's... And a shiny Olds for Olds, just to spoil the mood...

Neat old GTO from Ebay...

Wow, last driven and lic in 1965....it's been dormant my whole life. That being said, I know a guy whose uncle has a Dusenbueg that's been dormant for equally long....and won't let anyone else see the car. It's a closed body style 4 door, and will see the light of day again, some time... But wow, less than 10,000 original miles on the Tucker...

I prefer fall myself. I'm not racing tomorrow...I'm just too tired and need to spend time with my wife.

Thanks GMCTG and Turbojet for your additions to this thread...all I can say is keep them coming! Oh, and I love the patina of the unrestored Tucker, the aqua/turqoise one. Fantastic, one of the neatest car shots in the whole thread, IMHO.

Not to go off the topic of Verano, but I hear the same daily. Every one likes the look. Some are interested first based on the looks and then others on the smaller size and equipment. Great car, and a lot of demand especially for 6MT models. Not as luxurious inside as the Verano, but an edge still in tech and really fun driving dynamics. Rides better than the TSX in ways too, thanks to the new amplitude reactive dampers. I was very impressed by the Verano, except for the soft seats and softer powertrain feel. Like a luxury car in a small package. Day to day, the ILX sport and polished driving dynamics give it its own edge. I really will have to drive one...but I really was not impressed with the Civic SI I drove. Glad your getting good feed back on the Acura, and a 6MT would be a huge selling point for me. I hate automatics, and I am married to a woman who hates driving them. We have two teenage drivers in the house that learned to drive on manuals and pretty much refuse to drive anything automatic. Thus, the GTI or TDI thoruight for a 4 door replacement family car. I'll check out a 1lx, and get back to you.

A very cool song, blue. every time I hear this, I picture myself driving a 62 Bel Air bubble top, cruising along some pleasant Midwestern main street somewhere...

Get some sunscreen, and get a Miata.....works for me.... Yeah...I am in the refrigeration and A/C repair business...I've been busy....

It should be interesting to see what happens. Politically, I think the republicans may win big in November, and if they do CAFE could go the way of the dodo bird.

Sounds awesome.... HBB Moltie.... You would be assuming correctly....
