A Horse With No Name

Is here...

Enough to make even a sports car guy like myself swear off ragtops!

Found that 64 Pontiac Wagon project you so dearly wanted... 1964 Pontiac Bonneville Rusted Abandoned vehicle on Morro Bay, CA Sand Spit - uncovered by winter storms, reported to have been stalled here in 1973. Photo taken 06 May 2010. Photo by Michael "Mike" L. Baird. Next time I'll look somewhere other than Ohio for a slightly more rust free car...

In contrast, I have lost interest in actually owning vintage cars for awhile, and I want to race modern stuff. Although I would rock something like a 1965 Lotus Cortina or a Vintage TR-3 Triumph in a heartbeat... The vintage vehicle I really want is a GM truck, prefer 49-55...as a mild retro style street rod...

Your a convertible guy

I like it!

I need a neon tube bender to make interesting designs in my under car neon...you got a neon tube bender, or a fluorescent tube bender? Or a radiator hose for my Corvair....? J/K....good luck with your auto parts career!

Congrats!

Not sure my earlier posts came across right...I'm not bitter against Saab...but they kind of lost what made them unique. Love old Saab rally cars, and I always thought a 9-3 convertible could be cool. I've even thought of finding an older model and building it up as an SCCA rallycross car. I would like to have seen what would have been offered in 2017 had they been able to re-acquire their unique identity. When my 18 year old son Joel took his drivers test, the woman giving the test was a huge Saab fan...they spent the hour after he took his test cruising around in the Miata and talking about vintage Saab rally cars.

I like the way you think, sir....Jetta, Flex, volvo, A4 wagon....Subies...all right up my alley! Exactly...my son might well be buying our Scion off of us, and we've been looking at Camaro's, GTI's, C30's. and Mustangs...with the occasional Challenger thrown in. With good credit it's actually cheaper for me to buy a used 2011 at 20-21k than a 2007 or 2008 at 15-17K...amazing but true.

Saab had some excellent ideas with the next gen cars....it would be nice if you could get some of the cool of Saab back and keep it alive.

A bunch of SCCA guys want to autocross and track the V6 Mustang....this should be interesting to follow.

Agreed... Or as someone on another forum put it... You Saab guys are worse than the VW fans. All 3 of you.

I like it...esp as effed up as our country is getting....

Glad someone else doesn't like the Focus. We looked at it and I hated the dash and the seating position...but to listen to everyone you'd think the car was the second coming of Elvis or something... Be careful...the Challenger is a really reliable car....

But for people that bought them...zero instant negative equity. Glad to see them finally die, the older stuff was cool, but not sure I'm down with paying 50k for what they were currently offering...

Wonder how they did this....?

What other impressions do you have with this car? How is it in city driving? and also...how well does it stack up to the Cruze in your opinion as a commuter cr? How well does it stack up against other cars you have driven? May very well be in the market soon....also...how does Albert like this thing? Has he driven it or ridden in it?

That does look good, knightfan!

Odd for us indeed, 67 IMP.

I always liked both the Lincoln and the Rambler....agree on the style...and neighbors as a kid had a red Rambler wagon they kept immaculate. Oh, and I saw a 67 IMP SS convertible (NO BS, actually saw it) light yellow, black top, black interior, redline radials on Corvette rally rims with flat caps, decent shape. Seen that thing at a show, 67 IMP SS? Also saw a nice clean 76 Monte Carlo.

I am thinking of this for myself as well. A larger car than my wife wants to drive, but it comes with the lifetime powertrain warranty IIRC. Glad to know that you are getting that kind of fuel economy out of that thing.
