I like the Idea of a C5 Z06 much better...to me...much better car... But the Zr1 is sweet!

Vehicles that aren't your "type" but you're interested in anyway.
And also, my father in law just bought a new Dodge mini van with the stow and go...and I thought I'd kill myself before I'd say this but...I wouldn't mind owning one. NICE vehicle...

Considering I have a high school diploma, I shouldn't have smashed my finger on my left hand while adjusting the belt on a rooftop hvac unit today...

Oldsmoboi drives a Mini-Cooper in Pittsburgh
Makes sense, drew. I still want to drive a CTS with the auto after reading your input in this thread...

Coolest GM car you've seen all week?
Exactly! Saw a neat old 57 Chevy rusting by a barn today...looked pretty much intact...

Companion Question
That generation of Camaro did have comfortable seats...damn...we agree on something else...

Vehicles that aren't your "type" but you're interested in anyway.
I kind of agree, esp. on the Taurus...Taurus is a NICE car...guys I work with in their twenties love it, and my mother took me to the Ford dealer to look at one when they first came out because she thought it was a hot car... I like the old Eldo's...one of my room mates from College had one from the early nineteen seventies...that car...had fuel economy that was measured by the foot. Best it ever got was seven miles per gallon IIRC...but it would go if you hit the loud petal... and it had plenty of room as a make out mobile for taking girls out... Volt-Hell yes, even though I am a VW TDI guy. HHR-They came out with that right after I bought the wife's crap box...I'd love to rock one, esp.a panel. And you all know of my love for Roadsters, so a Solstice, esp a Z0k or GXP Solstice...hmmm.. You can always use that giant speedo to replace the clock in big ben...it is a British car after all. But as much as I like the MINI, the VW gTI is a billion times more comfortable and Ergonomic than the MINI. My family still wants me to buy a MINI anyways... With the run flat tires gone and a few handling upgrades, an S is a blast to drive...a completely different car than a base cooper on run flats... But to answer the question---not a big sedan type of guy but...CTS or CTS-V for sure...the new Bu looks good...and I could see owning a Charger or three hundred in another life...

Coolest GM car you've seen all week?
cquote name='Camino LS6' date='15 April 2010 - 08:16 PM' timestamp='1271376960' post='590957'] There is a little repair shop right near the race car garage that always has cool stuff hanging around. Yesterday afternoon they were messing with a '55 Bel Air hardtop in front of the shop. It's lowered, with a black satin finish (rat rod style) and black rims - pretty badass. They are also bringing back a '67 442 convertible that used to belong to a local sprtscaster who died of cancer a few years back. It's a really nice car that sat and got dusty after the guy died. Kind of a sad note...was getting my wife's car washed in North Carolina when I was visiting my parents a few weeks ago...guy just bought a non 442 67 Cutty rag top...3x black....60,000 original miles...was getting ready to add candy metal-flake paint and 24" wheels....

Random automotive question
Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner... My Concorde was a comfortable car, but not quite as comfortable as Jetta. getting old are we? I resemble that remark...the older I get the less I think about sports type cars and the more I think about comfortable cars. Getting close to turning 45 (I do so in September) has changed my outlook. But BV has it right with the Jetta idea...although the GTI seats are fantastic also IMHO. Chris

Holy rare!
92,000 original miles...91,000 of which are on the bottom of Lake Michigan...too bad the price of scrap is low...this would be sweet to crush....

Consumer Reports calls Lexus GX460 unsafe
Be glad you don't live in Central Ohio AKA the land of Honda. where you have to see all of the butt ass ugly Acuras on the road. I'll buy you a steak dinner for every Acura or Lexus you can write off....good riddance...

Consumer Reports calls Lexus GX460 unsafe
Awesome... Too bad the excavator didn't hit the Toyocrap SUV. I call that a massive FAIL. That and it would have been better if the Milf would have done the commercial in the nude... Chris

not very surprising
Interesting.... Amazing how we are bored enough around here to talk $h! about nothing. To bring this back to a positive note... I really like what's going on with Buick...and with Chryco...

Considering I have a high school diploma, I am amazed at how many people failed at this basic task in life.

Genesis coupe beats Mustang, Camaro, Challenger
Genesis is in need of a little more finesse to be in the same school as Camaro or Mustang

It's amazing what you can do in the back seat of a more door Oldsmobile...ask me sometime... Seriously, my dad wanted one of those big Mercury's back in the day...I remember going with him to the dealership to look at them when I was in the 4th grade...sweet cars. Your not going to believe this Blu, but I saw a big Merc like that at MacDonalds when I took my two teenage daughters outfor a coke...and I thought of you when I saw it... Chris That's a really sweet full size Ford rag-top...sadly I remember one like that getting trashed in a Disney movie when I was a kid...dark green with a black top IIRC... It's all on a relative scale...it is still miles and miles better than a Camry... I remember back in high school a bunch of guys cut the roofs off a bunch of seventies more door junkers like that...drove around all summer in cheap convertibles...

Wow...the Escalade is a highly sought after, great vehicle...hmmm...methinks we smell jealousy here...

Drop in more often...I've been doing the family thing myself... Come to Ohio and I'll take you to the air force Museum so you can see Bock's car, the B-29 that dropped the A bomb on Nagasaki... Glad you still have the B-59!
