A Horse With No Name

They are...and with the MINI come several test drives in whatever I want to take out. The people who have the Green GTO also bought my 71 Chevelle, and they also will let me test drive pretty much anything.

My lawyer drives nothing but cadillacs, and keeps them immaculately detailed. Why do you think I use him?

Thanks guys!

Ahhh...I was saying that I wanted it's home to be in my heated garage in Ohio.....maybe I should have been clearer.

Sorry just could not hold it in for these soccer mom mobiles. I agree...woman at work just bought one and I was like...ughhhh... One of my SCCA buddies bought one, uses it to sleep in at the track and to haul his buddies to Soccer games...and loves it. To each his own, I guess....

They are trying to become a full line automaker. As a current MINI owner (picked it up yesterday) I'm starting to see some wisdom in the Countryman SUV thing. They are selling a boat load of them around here and people seem to love them.... We'll see what the five door brings...

So do I...alas I think our gov't is wildly out of control in a lot of ways. Petty bureaucratic idiots with nothing better to do...

.and I'll see your chevelle and raise you one GTO...and yes I know that you (camino) hate yellow cars...I love them...esp this one... http://www.mershons.com/car_detail_pop.asp?ID=9529 Link for the GTO... http://www.mershons.com/car_detail_pop.asp?ID=9529 Also from Mershons... http://www.mershons.com/car_detail_pop.asp?ID=7010 Now this Camaro...This is also a lust worth bow tie...

My only question is what happens when a car becomes a tube frame race car and the vin is gone... obviously at that point, it's never going to get registered for street use ever again, so the point is probably moot but....it would still be illegal to own that car. From the article.... "Tuesday will be a sad day for Beno when he goes to the impound area to collect his personal effects from the two cars. It's especially frustrating, he said, because the cars are just a few years from qualifying for a federal exemption to safety standards granted to imports that are more than 25 years old."

Note that he is restoring a 64 Grand Prix also... http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20120527/GPG0101/205270497

The '67 GTO is pretty sweet...though the '65 is my favorite of the early GTOs. Chevelle gets the styling nod from me over GTO for '65 Lamar: 17K for a slick black Magnum sounds pretty good to me too. It's close, but I prefer the GTO. But I remeber the maroon pristine 65 Chevelle the girl next doors boyfriend drove when I was in 7th grade. She was hot, the car was hot...he was banging that and driving that...lucky guy! Correction...utterly stunning... Love the 66...had a chance to buy a car just like that...I've been kicking myself for twenty years for passing on it.

Agree on the 64....

You might look at BF good rich G force Touring tires...had them on the Miata...incredible grip and handling, great tire wear (unless you try to drive it sideways through cones every Sunday, of course) good in the rain... I really liked those tires. Also have had good luck with Pireli P6 as a decent handling all season tire.

Good luck...looks like a neat vehicle... Needs a vintage race car on a trailer behind it for the full effect though....

I wish I was in a position to buy it, but we just bought the MINI....and I've got six cars right now so....aughhh....

...and as of tonight, the MINI is sitting in my driveway with me and the mrs. name on the Title....

Happy birthday, dude!

Also local...not serious about this one, but the right condition, color, miles, et al... Linky... http://www.arenamotor.com/listings/l0135.html

Saw that when I went to look at two local cars... hers is it's brother....which is even much nicer in person than the photographs show... http://www.toybarncars.com/dublin-used-1986-buick-regal-vid502855745-6940 More in my budget... http://www.toybarncars.com/dublin-used-2003-mini-cooper-hardtop-vid502498359-6922 Thinking that the GN might at some point wander into my garage, test drove the MINI and filled out finance paperwork....it also might make it into my garage...

Which is why I have passed on buying one....

I have some driveway space. When my daughter goes away to college next year and ;I can move part of my wood shop to my basement, I will have another indoor stall to store a car in as well.

Lots of them have ugly interiors...

Like em all, but like the Kaiser the best

Because most of their buyers don't care about RWD.
