A Horse With No Name

Ocnblu...I think you've hit a soft, sad spot for me. One of my fav. GM cars was the 78 Cutlass that I drove in College, dated my wife in that car. We drove that thing partway acrossCanada on a trip together while we were dating...LOTS of very good memories with that car. Since it was comfortable and reliable it was a great road trip car...load it up with the GF (now wife) and friends, and go to someones home for the weekend...or load it up (the cutty, not my GF) with guys and take it to a football game or out to shoot some basketball. Great car, great memories. VERY positive memoires of my years as an SCCA flagger watching the third gen Camaro's in SCCA A sedan, and I've seen the 89-90 C4 Corvette Challenge cars raced during vintage races at Mid Ohio. I think THAT car coming at me at 145 MPH while I was working a corner and wearing white re-ignited my love of the Corvette.

You guys are going to shoot me for saying this...but I would LOVE a 73-77 Monte Carlo. Silver car of that era that was just effin flawless was owned by a high school class mate...had a very healthy SBC. I still wake up at night with dreams of that car in my head!

...and after looking at that a second time...that really COULD be in my garage by dinner time...hmmm...better get over there and get that thing before I do something stuuupid...like drive to Kentucky with cash in hand. Chris

Now you see what I said about spend a little more money, get a little better car. Better hurry though, as I am only in Ohio...that 'bird could be in my garage by dinner time!

Kind of seeing where your going smk as far as Cadillac as a premium brand goes. Be interesting to see what else Cadillac has up their sleeve. Chris

This advert is just so much fail. Can't seem to get the back skirt on the female figure skater to fly up so I can check out her hindquarters... Oh, I was supposed to be looking at the CAR. I'm kinda with Balthazar, good old GM days for me was growing up with a 65 Impala SS on both sides of me...neighbors to the left had a Yellow two door hardtop with a 327 and a 4 speed and the neighbors to the right had a daughter with a boyfriend with an aqua/turquoise 396 car. Bonnevilles, GTO's, LeMans, 67, 68, 69 Camaro...the cars of the 50's...these are the cars of my youth. And that figure skater is making me remember the girl next door...watching her wash the 65 in that white bikini is also in my boyhood memories. Chris

Just avoid the fat bottomed girls (or women, as it were) and you'll be fine, sir. THANK YOU for letting us blow off and have a little fun with your thread. Came home from work today, after a good day at work, in a bad mood wanting to shoot someone for no good reason. Took my aggression out on the asshole that cut me off after tonights Hockey game...I think the paint is peeling off his Chryco minivan after the ass chwing I gave him. But seriously, I needed a good laugh and this thread, that poor corvette esp...made me laugh. We now return to serious talk about barn doors...and still sad one like your died with CFC. Chris

I'd love to drive THAT damn beast you have on your hands... Chris

Will you be able to see them through the gold chains hanging from the rear view mirror? Chris

At least one good thing came out of C4C then... But dem hip hop boyz like dem girls with dem big ass butz...you might want to find yourself a bench seat, Camino.

Fusion would be such a big jump over the Maxima, IMHO. MUCH nicer car. Glad you liked it! Chris

Lambo doors...it needs lambo doors... Seriously, glad your getting the thing buttoned down, sir. Chris

I actually really like the seat fabric in the GMC...

You mean your not going to drive this playing rap music with your pants hanging off of your ass? Lower it and add neon? Fo sho you could keep the subwoofer box...

Given my handle, you'd think I would be a mew 2011 Mustang fan but... I just don't swing for that team in that way... Bring me a Cobalt SS or a GTI and we'll talk for sho though...I swing for those teams! Chris

Glad your getting her dialed in! Chris

Excellent...however...4 Blizzacks+Miata=winter fun. Snow tires are the way to go...

Would make sense, Camino...

Just a quick question-The MINI Cooper S supercharged and the Cobalt SS/SC used the same superchargers, and the Cooper S's have been having problems hat 100K-150K- Anyone hear about similar problems with the Cobalt?? Chris

Saturn had a much more rational marketing and development concept, and much more owner loyalty. Even here amoung the Auto-X and sporty car set, Scion doesn't have a whole lot of loyalty amoung those who own them... Compared with Saturn, where most of the owners were pretty happy...at least when Saturn was still Saturn. Chris

Your making the irrational assumption that Toyotas marketing is any more thoughtful than GM's. SHAME ON YOU!

BINGO! Give the man a cigar....

Balthazar...check out Ball State university in my old home town of Muncie, Indiana. they have a state of the art Geothermal energy project that is large in scale and actually makes sense. And Reg...not saying we shouldn't use energy for food and drink, just that we should use it more efficiently. Chris

I once saw an 18 wheeler, an expedition, and a Chevrolet Crew Cab 4x4 all jamed under the same highway overpass in Georgia. Sat on the interstate for three hours unable to move until they brought in a gigantic crane to get the Semi and the smaller trucks out. The physics of THAT one I would like to understand... NASTY looking accident! Chris

This is exactly what I've been saying for three years now... And Scion ain't ever comin' back as a sales force to Toyotacrap motors, either... Even Consumer Reports pans the TC now... Chris
