  1. As the old saying goes Cadillac actually built a set of Aluminium race cars right about 1964 or so...full aluminium bodies, looked like a production car IIRC. LONG time since I've read anything about them...
  2. Sorry to both Nick and Balthazar...who i greatly respect...but I'm with CSPEC on this one!
  3. Congrats...take care of it...Honda is never going to build the likes of it again....
  4. I agree with you here... I would let a lot MORE people into this country, actually....
  5. Amen brother! If you do, drop in for a cup of coffee or lunch....
  6. We have an older lady in our Miata club who has three GM trucks, two Miata's and a 34 Ford Street rod.... The 34 Ford is Coupie....and I forget the rest of the names she's given her cars. but she claims each car also has a gender, and she has to drive them to know if they are a he or a she..... Interesting, IMHO...
  7. Analyst: TSA methods 'will kill more Americans on highway' By Jordy Yager 11/21/10 09:09 AM ET The recent public ire toward the TSA’s new pat-down and body imaging screening methods is likely to cause more people to drive automobiles and forego airline travel, say two transportation economists who have studied the issue. As the nation readies for one of the busiest traveling holidays, Steven Horwitz, a professor of economics at St. Lawrence University, told The Hill that the probable spike in road travel, caused by adverse feelings towards the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) new screening procedures, could also lead to more car-related deaths. “Driving is much more dangerous than flying, as you are far more likely to be killed in an automobile accident mile-for-mile than you are in an airplane,” said Horwitz. “The result will be that the new TSA procedures will kill more Americans on the highway.” Clifford Winston, a senior fellow of economic studies at the Brookings Institute, stopped short of saying that more people could die as a result of the TSA policies, but said that the airline industry will definitely see a decline in passengers if the public’s contempt for the pat-downs and advanced-imaging technology systems continues.

  8. Type O negative and Nirvana in the same car, perhaps?
  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXlHfRnf2Ak
  10. Since it is a nice day I went and cruised around with the top down for about four hours, blasting some of my son's music on the car stereo. I feel much better right now...
  11. Being in fear means the terrorists win...
  12. I'm jealous!
  13. And keeps people of both parties in office in Washington.
  14. The rational part of it is...it's not individual flyers people are worrying about. We loose more people in traffic accidents in two and a half weeks than we did in the 9-1-1 attacks in 2001. The problem is "the economy, stupid" as Bill Clinton might well say. One attack that takes down a big jet...and panic will set in to moronic Americans. The economy will begin to tank even deeper, and the elected elite in Washington will stand a pretty fair chance at loosing their jobs. So grandma is getting groped essentially so that your congressman can continue to receive good things from lobbyists. Ain't our system grand? I still say Americans have an overblown fetish about nudity...the parents that are worried about a TSA worker looking at their child nude, or the woman worried about the TSA worker...will pretty much go to a doctor and think nothing of it. It would be a lot better if we thought about nudity a lot more like Europeans do.
  15. And a lot of stuff that was just plain odd. I have a friend named Alan who ordered a Camaro new in 1969...he got the RS, the close ration for speed, and the posi rear end...but chickened out on the big motor at the last minute. So it came from GM as a close ration four speed equipped posi car with a 307...it was red..nice looking car...but slow....and a one of one car, methinks.... Alan later became blind and played Chess in blind chess tournaments....he was damn good at it...
  16. There's a 2013 Chevy El Camino based on a Holden...that gets retro-fitted into a Pontiac ST.. Wouldn't that sort of make you the anti-Camino rather than Camino?
  17. This is exactly why we need legal reform in this country...our legal code is a joke, and largely unenforceable. simplify the legal code, as well as the tax code, and get everyone on board, and we are in bidness....
  18. I love these...
  19. Amazing to me that the USA, which has won WWII, put a man on the moon, been the most free, fantastic society that mankind has ever created, wins wars halfway around the world, et al... Now gets sand in its collective vagina trying to put grandma on a plane. AMAZING!
  20. ...and it would be one hell of a cool car... I miss seeing good old Pontiacs like these on the rods every day....
  21. True...and Pontiac could have built a plane Jane 1968 one of one green wagon with a red interior....that certainly won't bring big bucks at a collector auction...
  22. meh...details....
  23. ...working rear seat belts extra..lol....
  24. So I drop my seventeen year old son off at guitar Center, and cruise through the local Ford dealer...look at a few cars while my son is looking at guitars...then I slide over to the Hyundai dealer because my son wants to spend some time playing one last guitar. I'm checking out the Genesis coupe, and some guy has his two kids in the back seat (young, perhaps about 6 and 8, boy and girl). Guys wife is test driving a Sonota, and this guy is telling me how a V6 Genesis is faster than a Camaro SS or Mustang GT, and how Hyundai is the most awesomist car company ever. I'm trying hard not to LMFAO at this point... He then says that Hyundais never break...at that moment, both rear seat belts decide they ain't comin' unlatched for love or money. So this guy is just working and working to get his kids unbelted, and the salesman is working to get the kids unbelted, and the darned Geneiss is not letting go... More of that excellent Korean workmanship for you, I guess.
