A Horse With No Name

Indeed, a Miata same year as mine, four grand MORE than I paid four years ago...same miles as I bought four years ago... http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=308371110&dealer_id=64082957&car_year=2002&model=MIATA&pager.offset=225&search_lang=en&start_year=2002&body_style=CONVERT&body_style=COUPE&body_style=HATCH&search_type=both&distance=500&min_price=6500&rdm=1318718523500&marketZipError=false&sownerid=596827&lastBeginningStartYear=1981&end_year=2008&showZipError=y&make2=VOLKS&dma=COLUMBUS_OH_WE&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&body_code=7&first_record=226&isFlashPlugin=true&default_sort=priceDESC&address=43146&sort_type=priceDESC&model2=GTI&max_price=18500&make=MAZDA&seller_type=d&num_records=25&cardist=156&standard=false

Love the Impala SS.

Happy birthday, guy!

That would be correct, sir....was hoping that you would get that one!

I would agree with you sir....

The plot thickens...wonder why they went with such a goofy design?

Drive started well, but then the movie just somehow lost it and never recovered IMHO. That would be cool to have Balthazar as a Driver like that....but it would have to be a really cool vintage car. Stutz Bearcat anyone?

I hear the Mexican drug gangs are hiring.... LoL...a job like the lead character in the 'Transporter' movies or in the recent film 'Drive'. I wonder if there are positions like that on Dice or Monster.. I could see Balthazar being like the guy on the movie Drive..which was cool but a little bit too violent.... Driving a B59 would probably give him away though...that thing would stick out like a sore thumb in a sea of Toyotas and Impalas...

This is an actor who raced, and acted in a well known racing film. He starred in a production that involved the totaling of a whole lot of pontiacs back in the 1970's... Guy was the first draftee from Oklahoma in the Korean war.... He starred opposite Sally field in a major motion picture... Give the name of the Racing movie, the production that wrecked all of those Pontiacs...and the movie he made with SallyField. Good luck, you should get this one easily....

This is getting interesting,...sweet ruck BTW!

I hear the Mexican drug gangs are hiring....

I love spicy food...you've got to take me to that restaurant, dude.

Vapor lock?

My buddy with the body shop is getting big dollars for cars he used to be unable to give away...ninteites cavaliers that towing companies pretty much just crushed rather than worry about...he's fixing and getting good money from. Everything seems to be getting higher in price.

The old MACK and the two yellow vettes are just fantastic...

I hear you...but there is always light somewhere. Ran into trouble with a repair at work today, needed an expensive part, figured the customer would be unhappy....but they were not. Someone tried to break into my work truck while I was running the service call...but they didn't get in, thank you GM! So two things I could have gotten frustrated and morose about....however....at the age of 46...I am slowly learning to be optomistic. It is an uphill battle./.. Actually CSPEC's post here on C and g helped me realize how negative I got sometimes....I'm trying to make a real change... Good luck on the truck once again, sir!

Your living in California, where I've always wanted to live, you worm in MINI dealership, and MINI is one of my fav. cars...you drive a bas ass BMW...and your sorry why? Welcome back dude...so good to hear from you. Oh, and welcome to the convertible Mafia here at C and G...the RWD Convertible Mafia...Camino owns a 72 Vette, I own the Miata, Big Pontiac owns a 68 Bonneville, You own the BMW, Future of GM owns a Mustang Ragtop.... LONG LIVE THE RWD RAGTOP!

I know who you are talking about now, but I had to Google the bejesus out of it, so I'll withhold the info, giving someone else a shot at it... but I still came back to the same roadblock that eliminated the driver in the first place... that record at Talladega appears to have been broken twice. I can't find anything that makes it particularly unique that it cannot be broken again. Same with the Indy wreck... I see what makes it unique, but not so unique it cannot happen again. It can happen again and will happen again in terms of the Indy accident, but the Taledega record is unique as it is a first...and the Indy accident is a "first also..." Another hint...driver was rookie of the year....at Indy....and the oldest rookie of the year ever....

Mental attitude is everything at the beginning of a project...have faith, sir!

Happy birthday....

The girl who makes my sandwich at Subway has a degree...as does the guy who changes my oil at Valvoline when I don't change it myself.

Another huge hint...the mother of one of the drivers is a personal friend of my thirteen year old son Daniel....Geography might help.... Oh, and this is not the Bill Elliot record....that record could still be broken. Next hint....the Chevy Monte Carlo will NEVER break this record....nor will any other car....for one very big and obvious reason....

Nice! Good to know she had it in her....see you need to autocross that thing after all!

Trivia number two...I am thinking about a race car driver... Race car driver was an SCCA member...and the first race they ran was in a Ford Pinto...which was promptly sunk into an on course lake during the drivers first ever race. Driver towed the P{into home and actually used the oven to dry out the windshield wiper motor and a bunch of other parts...and then drove it to work the Monday after it was totally submerged. This driver was most noted for racing Mustangs....but also ran at the Indy 500. Driver qualified well, and won an award...but never won the race. Driver set a track record at Talledega in a NASCAR prep Thunderbird that to this day the Monte Carlo has never beaten.... Driver won at the 24 hours of Daytona...and the 12 hours of Sebring...and drove at (but never won) LeMans. A few more hints...driver is from my home state of Ohio. This driver had a wreck that ended their competition career at Indy...and it was a historic, never to be repeated accident. And the source of the other hint that (if you are lucky or smart) will help you figure out this puzzle. The other driver in the Indy wreck was also from my home state of Ohio... Name the Driver, tell why the Monte Carlo never beat the record set at Talledega, and tell me what is unique and never to be repeated about the career ending Indy wreck. Good luck!
