A Horse With No Name

To me, I'd take about anything unique and unusual to cruise around in for a day. Chris

Also...remember how piss poor a lot of GM cars ran with the E-Quadrajets. Electronic fuel injection is wonderful. From about 1973 to about 1993 cars jsut didn't seem to run as well...and it really only has been in the last few years the OEM's seem to have gotten the tuning down. Chris

I remember people parking cars over leaves during the fall when Catalytic converters first came out. Few cars died by fire that way. One fire down the street from my grandparetns was rather spectacular. Chris

Sounds just SO good! Chris

I've seen them race at Mid Ohio...and been a corner worker when they've gone by at 100+ wide open. God I'm glad I was born in the twentieth century! Chris

Thank you sir. Going to North Carolina to see my folks. Last night my son's Boy Scout troup fixed all of the families of the boys a HUGE thanksgiving feast of all kinds of good stuff. Even the pies were made from scratch... The Turkey's were smoked...really one of the best thanksgiving meals I've had! Also getting together with my car club buddies. Bunch of us from the Buckeye Miata Club got together for a Thanksgiving/OSU vs. Michigan Party. Had a LOT of fun. Chris

Like I've said before, as a kid growing up in Wisconsin, I remember the snow turning pink under cars when you slammed the door. Almost like the car bleeding to death. And speaking of bleeding to death...just had a wierd thought about Jesus and cars. If Jesus was real and he died, he took upon the sin of the whole world, right? I wonder if Dodgefan's Shadow took on the rust of all of the automotive production for North America for everything since 1989. That would explain why we don't see cars rust as much anymore... Just a thought. Chris

It would be cool to get that car in blue and do a knockoff of the 69 Trans Am Penske Camaro's... THAT would be sweet!

The ecobost thing should be great for Ford. And as much as it pains me to admit it (and it pains me to admit it) Nissan, my least fav. car maker has a winner in the GTR. Okay, so Maybe I dislike Suzuki and Kia and Daewoo and the Chinese and Tatra and Toyota and a few others more than Nissan. Chris

Bet that GTI is about eleventy billion times better than the Civic SI that came before the GMC. Really to me, the VW is sooo much better than the Civic it isn't even funny. To me, there is a reason why the GTI is rated along with the Corvette and the CTS and the 3 series BMW in the Car and Driver 10 best list. GOOD luck with the GTI! Thinking of getting one myself. Chris

I had to drop my 19 year old daughter off at CSCC to do research for an english paper...droped by Byers VW while she was working on her paper. You and me...on the same wavelength. Then I went across the street to the Buick dealer where they had a pristine GNX on display, and a very gently used Colorado Crew Cab 4WD on the salesroom floor. You and me...on the same wavelength. Chris

I love the Ariel Atom and the Catham Lotus 7...but doubt they would be up GM4life's alley. Chris

You lucky SOB! Great find. Glad to hear you have a BF, sounds like life has been good to you in other ways as well. Chris

Glad to hear the 307 is doing so well in the buick, knight. And I really do hope you hold onto that Buick. Something about that car... But I do also remember when the four college girls were killed in Indiana in a Pinto that got rear ended. IIRC that's what started the whole thing with the pinto. It happened between Goshen and Elkart Indiana. My mother grew up in Elkart and my father grew up in Goshen and we were visiting gradparents at the time...came upon the scene of the wreck just after they hauled the burned Pinto away. BIG black mark on the pavement...remember it being on the evening news that night. The Pinto had a decent front suspension and a decent iron block 4 cyl. motor. It wasn't a complete crapbox like the unloved Vega. But then again...I've always had a fetish for the Cosworth Vega. Not far from here on a farm next to a barn a Cosworth Vega and first gen RX-7 are both resting, been there for years along with the remains of a vintage Alfa Romeo. Would love to rescue all 3. I am as hopeless as knight, actually methinks. Chris

I pretty much always run with front foglights as well, as much of my driving is on rural two lane roads. Chris

Too bad Cash for clunkers couldn't have been expanded to take a few embarrasments to the American automotive industry like this off of the road before it ended. I remember the guy across the street from me as a kid was a big GM fan, always had Bonnevilles and Cadillacs. He bought one of these new. That was the LAST time he EVER strayed from GM! Chris

+1 Chris

Damn, we agree on something! +1 Chris

Any luck with anything yet? Wagon...Jag...Camino...Mothertruck...Silverado...anything? Chris

Americans tastes will change when the price of fuel goes up. Anyways, does anyone have any verifyable advantadge to a V8 DOHC for the next Corvette? Seems to me the LS series should do just fine...and no one has given a credible arguement to the contrary IMHO. Chris

x3 on 3M Chris

Ford is going to have a huge winner on its hands in about three years with this car IMHO. Chris

Fiat FTW! Seriously, the K car helped saved Chrysler before, a smartly styled and built subcompact might save chryco's bacon now. Not every small car is a penalty box...and gas prices will go through the roof in the next decade. Expect cars like the Camaro and CTS to go away. I'm not saying this because I am happy about it, I am saying it because I think its reality. The free market will do for fuel savings what CAFE standards can't or won't. Chris
