A Horse With No Name

Weren't Mr. Daimler and Mr. Benz both German and therefore European? My thoughts exactly.

Happy birthday!

Bingo...my thoughts e Folding operation is superb, I'm going to try and get a video of it. Material quality on both sides of the seems sturdy. ...'blu....try an 05 up...much more stalbe in the Miata... and as for the convertible Camaro...much higher quality stuff than the MX-5....but a 33k car rather than a 21k car...what I'd expect....

Watch the little vette roll, boys....

Bingo!

I can't imagine anything that might have swayed your mind recently.... +1

Bingo on the oil lobby thing....but yea...given ten years...major changes. Thanks for posting this, croc!

<br /><br /><br />I would too...and I think that it would bring us together. I think for example that were we to square off along partisan lines, you and I (balthazar and Stang) would mostly disagree. But were we to discuss an issue...we might really agree. We could even explore a topic...two guys going at each other from not opposing but not points in agreement...and deal with a topic like "what would it take to make high speed rail competitive?" or "Why can't the federal gov't have a balanced budget?" or "what can be done to improve high school education in the US?" We could even have a brain storming session between two guys where we just kick out positive ideas. I think you'll find that Camino (amoung others) is full of positive, rational things if we just give him (them) a chance to open up. <br /><br />what is it called when the sovereign mind is inebriated? lol<br /><br /><br />TOYOTA!.<br /><br /><br /><br />Fixed that for you, Bob!

I like Won't get fooled again and Bohemian rhapsody...the others are....meh in my book. Most of what came out after 1990 or so is kind of over rated, IMHO...or maybe I am just getting old. My son and I listen to everything from the Rolling Stones to bucket Head together...and he introduced me to Type O negative, who I just love...but mosmodern rock...meh.... <br /><br /><br />I like Styx and Queen, actually...listening to them brings back great memories of old girlfriends and riding around in my 70 chevelle...which shows how old I really am! <br /><br />The Horror... The Horror...<br /><br /><br /><br />The horror indeed! <br /><br /><br />Free Bird would be one of those songs that I would have to be stoned to enjoy...since I don't get stoned....

New Focus is hot...

This is how I would define it also. Bingo!

Which is why I think a moderated, thoughtful discussion would be best...

Eliminate the Politics section as it is, and then have a section for debate. Have a moderated, intelligent debate between two C and G members on a specific topic. We could have a Peanut gallery thread, but most of those tend to be useless. methinks a section where the general audience could "cross examine" the debaters with a limited # of questions (say a limit of 3 per member) would be better... Just my two cents.

Oh...and in the same vein....saw an equally clean Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe in front of one of those places here in Columbus that makes Donkmobiles... Guess we (sadly ) know what's going to happen to THAT car.

Went to the local pick and pull with my son, Joel and his friend to get a few minor parts for friend's Nissan. In the yard... Porsche 944, clean, in the re-builder section, fairly minor left side damage...but hurt just enough I wouldn't want it. CRX, rebuild able, but in the parts section. 1959 Chevy 4 door post, rusty rocker panels but all there and fairly straight, faded original paint (red) they wanted $1400 for the whole car... Red Cavi Z24 ragtop, parked with the top down, kind O sad... A Miata...first time I've seen a Miata in pick and pull... a 66 GMC 1 ton 2WD long bed, looked like it had been carefully restored a long time ago and then started a long slow decline...you could see where someone had painted the frame, etc...at one time...but a little rough...pretty much picked clean in the parts section. Three more GMC trucks 67, 70, 72, in Junkyards near by... a 64 Buick Riviera...rusty drivers floor but otherwise fairly solid...originally blue but repainted black...pretty much stripped clean... a 69 Pontiac Custom S, coupe, Mayfair Maze, someone must have striped it for a parts car for a GTO or something...passenger door, windshield and trunk lid were about all that was left and usable on the car. A clean Nissan 240 from the early 1990's... A late 70's 280 Z, amazingly solid and had been on the road recently, getting stripped down by some Z car fans... Oh...and a Yugo...and a green on Tan Pontiac Bonnie SSEI

No...but a car that clean...I'd dump three grand to have a fresh motor. Only get so many chances in life to own a cool car...

Agreed...

For a car that clean, methinks a GM crate motor...

Bingo...

Only one girl, met her the first day of high school. She was a friend of mine through high school, I don't think she dated anyone in high school... I was religious at the time and only went out with girls from church.... Girl/woman in question is a whole lot like my wife, who I met when I was nineteen and a sophomore in college. I've been with Kim for almost 26 years, married like 23 of those....but still miss HS chic. HS chic lives in Pittsburgh...or just outside...married to another guy... Also ...I have had a lot of female friends in my life who were just platonic friends...I still miss greatly even girls I knew well in elementary school...

Crate motor from Gm will make things interesting in a hurry....go get things in a hurry and make things interesting....

Junk that lasted 25 years on the road. +1 That would be cool...to even start it up and save it's life, as it were...oh well...

An interesting Idea...
