A Horse With No Name

I think if we could get ourselves together in person, we could do a lot of good. I was trying to bring everyone together via a LeMons car, but then the SCCA friends I had that were really interested kind of lost interest all of a sudden... If you get back up to Michigan, let's get together Z and see if we can't make something positive come forth out of C and G.

Pity that no B-26 Mauraders are air worthy. How was the only B-38 destroyed?

I think that is what we would call sub optimal design.

Glad to see you make progress....

Glad they are thinking of one, I have herd almost nothing but good from people who actually own them.

It's deliberately engineered stupidity IMHO. It's called starving the cow....if you create budget deficits large enough and for long enough, you can justify cutting social programs, which is what the conservatives here really want to do.

This is a real start, and why I was talking about the need to get people voting in the politics section. But until we realize one CONSERVATIVE ideal... namely, that we need to take responsibility for ourselves and our nation...all else is moot!

Depends. If you had a rational free market, a stable currency, and an educated population, you could pull it off. However, we don't have a market that acts in a rational manor, our currency is unstable, and our population makes horrible decisions when it comes to finance. So right now, given our current situation, a free market solution that was totally free market would be an utter disaster.

Which is why I agree with Carbiz and want us to end our interventionist foreign policy...but how? One of the reasons I am so mad at W Bush is that he promised no nation building when he was elected, and I voted for him based on that promise. He then spends eight years trying to do...nation building. Ughhh!

It isn't socialism, but it is a form of social engineering per se. Problem is, once you start, how do you stop? Had interest rates not dropped on home loans, everything would have tanked. As it is, I just refinanced at 5 and 1/4 from 6 and 1/ 4, and may do it again if rates keep dropping. But it is a devils deal, as the only thing holding up home equity is cheap loans. And it makes no sense to pay the whole thing off early, as massive inflation is bound to follow all of the money we are having to print to pay for our two failed wars in the middle east, all of the junk we buy from China, and all of the oil we buy from the middle east.

Logically yes....

It had a vista roof...wish I'd shot a photograph of it. Yes, please tell us why!

I can't pull up a photograph of it, but there is/was a national championship winning SCCA Civic that was white and done up with a Japanese rising sun Samurai kind of a paint job, very effective and very cool.

I know a couple people with frame racks and a couple of people with trailers. Don't get rid of the Jetta hulk just yet.....it might make a neat basis for a future project car. You could also see the bodywork and paint money going into a vee dub..... I've seen several small Hondas like that done up with kind of a beater vibe, they look good done that way. Oh, and Vipes, check out this Miata. That Honda would be KILLER with a paint job similar to this.... http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/project-cars/1994-mazda-miata/dressing-solo-nationals/ Even if it is just a vinyl graphic. Maybe instead of a diva pinup girl on the hood...ocnblu could pose for the hood art? Just kidding 'blu, I know how you feel about this particular Honda. http://image.motortrend.com/f/editorial/sema-2007-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/7240928+w700+cr1+re0+ar1/flying-tiger-trans-am.jpg Same Idea on a Trans Am.... http://www.panicmotorsports.com/ Spec Miata with the same type of a paint job, only simpler and different.... http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e311/morphout/DSCN0822.jpg Here is a similar idea on a bike, but done in Silver rather than in Camo.... http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/international-automotive-scene/31738-3000bhp-street-legal-aircraft-engine-bel-air.html If Balthazar and Dodgefan got together to do this....check out the link above.

Awesome, keep these coming. I am so jealous!

Love the first gen Monte Carlo...fantastic looking cars. Great photographs, Court!

Depends on what you mean by some..moderately warm coil + lots of airflow + cold air at the vents. Just not enough BTU's to provide a noticeable change in temp. I've seen several cars do this, mostly big V8 cars driven at low speeds where not a lot of heat builds up in the winter. Which is one thing I've always liked about smaller 4 cyl cars as winter commuters. They build heat in the motor much quicker, and then heat up much quicker. Unless it is an air cooled VW bug, in which case you have heat about the time you hit the city limits of Miami, Florida...and then you have no A/C.

Olds, were the Olds wagons sometimes not two tone? One of the cars in the Cash for Clunkers line at Toyota West about a year ago was a custom cruiser that was all white, and looked like it had been all white from the factory.

And we keep things this way because we have an entitled elite in our country who get wealthy off of the military industrial complex, and it ain't about to change anytime soon. Remember the words of Dwight Eisenhower, one of the best men to ever sit in the oval office. Beware of...."the military industrial comples..." Sixty years later he is so right it isn't even funny, at all.

And this is why I bitch about the last thirty years so much, and I am really equally angry with both political parties for getting us here. Let's just try to face our problems like adults before they take us under... And this is why I dislike John Kaisich for governor of Ohio so much also...he strikes me as another guy that will walk through the back door rather than the front, and be unwilling to face the problems that bugger us right now.

Could you very politely go on Fox, MSNBC, CBS, Air America, and anywhere else your voice can be heard, and tell about three hundred million Americans the same thing? You are SO right on and we agree SO much on this it isn't even funny!

Didn't know that...cool! Cool...I've never ever seen one of these, and I've been to a lot of different air museums.

DO NOT TELL ME THAT! I don't need another old car, I'm just recovering from that addiction...er hobby..um..how much did they want, and what was it like?

Sounds like a modern ricer tale.....

Heading off to bed myself...a sleeping cat and cuddling wife await....
