A Horse With No Name

I learned something...I didn't realize the inner trim was different. Thanks!

And on the way to pick up my daughter tonight, I saw a light yellow Original series E type Jag. Flashed the head lights in the MINI at him, and he flashed back. Feels good being an official British car owner, even if it really is German. Those rims are all the rage around here, for whatever reason. Saw a really clean 1973 Cutlass on them....blue...neat looking car, other than the wheels.

One of the guys I race with, Tom, just bought one in orange.

I've got a book about 55-57 Chevrolet's upstairs...old factory photographs et al. They have photographs. I'll have to dig the book out,

Agreed.... I'm not into the Chevy verses Pontiac thing. I see so many Chevrolets and so few Pontiacs here in the midwest....the old Pontaics are such a refreshing change. And actually, 56 is the lesser of the three years IMHO when it comes to Chevrolet...

Neither am I....just thought it was an interesting pic...

Although methinks maybe he should have used a Pontiac.... Gives a whole new meaning to a car having an interesting grill up front

And alas...car is recovered and safe with only minor damage. News report of the high speed chase the truck and trailer W car were involved in... thief is in custody...

The pursuit then went into Antioch, back to Pittsburg and onto state Highway 4 where the suspect drove in the wrong direction at speeds of up to 90 mph. Hartman said he then went onto state Highway 242 and finally onto Interstate Highway 680. Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputies and California Highway Patrol officers joined the pursuit along the way. Spike strips were deployed twice, once in Pittsburg and later on I-680 by CHP officers, Hartman said. "Towards the end of the pursuit the guy was pretty much rolling on rims," Hartman said. The chase finally ended in the unincorporated area of Alamo, south of Walnut Creek, when the suspect stopped the truck, got out and put his hands up. CHP officers had taken over the case at that point, and took the suspect into cu

...although you could hide it in your garage/barn and no one would ever find it... (friendly little dig...)

He is brave...and inspiring me to keep working on my stuff.

There used to be a Nomad about 35 Miles south of me that had been a good start on an El-Camino conversion...guy was trying to turn it back into a Nomad. Not sure whatever happened to that car.

Having just grenaded the motor in my sons car racing....with an older motor... sometimes the scrap dealer is your friend. We shall see!

I like your response, REg...yeah..eventually GM and Ford will run out of aging baby boomers to sell these things to.

I've seen a55 Nomad made into an El camino and done welll.. in 1955 GM seriously built El-Camino prototypes but decided to hold off for a bit...

I hate Pep boys, I'll drive 40 miles out of my way to avoid using them if I have to. I'm about to attempt to take my eleven year old to our community pool. Lots of twntysomething young mothers there in Bikini's, which tend towards the small side.... Enjoy the Jeep!

Glad she's still doing well for you, sir.

I also noticed more NVH on the 2012 model, both in the form of engine vibration at lower RPM (the 3.5L and 3.9L run smoother at idle), and the rather intrusive and annoying whistling noise when you dig into the throttle to get going, merge or pass, which I believe has something to do with the direct injection system. I've noticed the same thing on a 2012

I agree with this... ...and I agree with this also...but the market seems to be full of people who want a truck the size of a 1950's starter house.

Corrected... Which state isn't idiotic...Maine perhaps?

Not many '61 Corvettes left running around, and some dingus drops it off a carrier truck?! HEADS WILL ROLL FOR THIS!!! Yes they will...at first I thought it was a 62, but it has contrasting coves. Narrow white walls were first offered in 62 IIRC...so this car should have/should have had widw whites IIRC.

Why you don't race Mustangs on the street either...
