A Horse With No Name

I think I just read a post from cmicasa that got deleted about what should happen to my father because he drives a Toyota. Hmmm....my wife chose a Toyota product also. Let me guess...you only believe in the free market and freedom of choice if someone chooses GM, right? FWIW my father works on the red cross blood drives, helps with special olympics, is in volved with Civitan, works to raise money for college scholarships for worthy teenage high school students...and drives a Toyota. Yet somehow he is less worthy as a human being because he drives a Toyota. Got it. Chris

+1 to the 1 millionth power! Chris

...and my father owned a Passport, bought it new. Most miserable piece of $h! he ever owned as a vehicle. THANK YOU GM AND HONDA! My father is now a very loyal Toyota customer thanks to this vehicle. Chris

Balthazar-Mayfair maize is one of the best looking colors IMHO for a goat...wish I could ahve seen that. 2002 Corvette Pace car/Indy, outside of Carl's townhouse, the greasy spoon where I eat breakfast. C6 Black corvette and a Black Solstice GXP on the road when I went out to get a couple of gallons of milk. Yellow sky roadster. 50's GMC truck, (48-52 Era) Chris

Setting their asses on fire and providing a guided tour wouldn't help either. Chris

Road and Track and Grassroots Motorsports are about the only domestic car mags I read, the rest is pretty much trash writing IMHO. Chris

Packaged and marketed correctly, a Buick (Astra) should sell well and be a great car. A little more power and a little better interior trim out would have made the previous Astra a MINI fighter, IMHO. (everyone here will disagree with me, but I loved the prev. Astra. Next one should be much better.) Chris

RWD is great, however great handling cars don't have to be RWD. Honda Prelude and Cobalt SS SC or Cobalt SS/TC would come to mind, both of which are great handling FWD cars. VERY few people will ever race, track day or autocross their cars, and a good FWD package ought to do for 95% of the population. That being said, my daily driver is RWD. Chris

About 60% of what I have owned has been GM, including two trucks, two vans, Two Cutlases, Two Chevelles, Two-Tri5 Chevy's, A Cavalier and a Skylark, etc. With all of these cars coming in two's we should worry about a biblical flood before we should worry about a Ford....And I hardly think owning one vintage Mustang in my life has hurt GM in the least. Seriously, I wanted a Solstice so badly it made me weep and now that is gone, at least as a new car proposition. Methinks my next GM vehicle will be a 1950's Chevy or GMC truck. I've always wanted an old truck. My next new car puchase will probably be a MINI Cooper S. While I am a huge GM fan, I love everything from British cars to brass era classics. FWIW my real love right now though is SCCA racing and autocrossing, a place where the Solstice is strong. If you get real bored check out the national winners in Solo/autocross and Showroom Stock racing...you'll see I have a real reason to love the Solstice. Chris

Actually, DF I have to agree with you. Back in the day when the Sunfire was built I had a FWD Mopar, an Omni 2 door (looked like the Shelby charger, but was a two door Omni). Mopar was building some cool little FWD stuff back in the day...right up until the idiots from Daimler took over. Chris

This is true, and in 4 or 5 years I expect GM to be much stronger. However, right now making fun at their expense is about like fishing with dynamite. Chris

Right now someone in the Renncenter is surfing CarDomain.Com to see if someone has put an Accord motor in a W body Impala. Chris

At the rate we are going, the 2019 Corvette will be based on a W body platform, and built in a quonset hut in Flint by Scout troup 439 as part of their "Eagle Project" Chris

+1 Had we not built the interstates, we wouldn't have these problems. No rail network in the world is profitable as far as I know for passenger use. However, given the fuel savings, congestion savings, land savings, global warming benefit, etc. I think rail is an excellent idea. Chris

Too bad that #1 it's sold and #2 I couldn't afford it, but check this one out... http://www.classicdreamcars.com/51PontiacSedanDelivery.html Chris

Keep the pics coming...glad she's on the road! Chris

Wasn'ttheaccadianChevellebased?

Any day above ground seems to beat the alternative. To me the best days of my life are any days I am with my family. I skipped the SCCA autocross today just to spend the day with my wife and kids. Skipped a car show I wanted to go to yesterday to spend the time with my wife and kids. Nothing beats family, IMHO. Chris

Did Pontiac build a car based on the (66-67) Nova in Canada? I seem to remember reading something about that about eleventy billion years ago... Chris

Looks great! Maybe I just wasn't clear in my other post. I like the Charger from the outside, I just need more rear seat headroom (three teenage children living at home). That is a big advantage the FWD cars have over the (new) RWD Chargers. Tell us about the test drive with everything all together! Chris
