A Horse With No Name

Keep it. You don't want to park the Prius or the MINI on campus. Lots of bad things happen to cars on a college/grad school campus, and you'll need something to move your kyak. Chris

All joking aside, yes, I can relate. Ever think of getting all of the neighbors together to go over there and talk to them? Chris

I love it when people actually drive old sportscars like the mini and the 911. Chris

Oh, and I forgot to mention, black Chrysler 300L (1965). On Grandview Avenue, about noon on Saturday. White interior, looked to be a well preserved original. Chris

41 Plymouth and 50 Ford are two of my "really love it" cars. Chris

In addition to electrical and HVAC items, I do repair resteraunt equip. I can tell you what goes on with a lot of resteraunts...but you'd end up eating at home a lot! Chris

Ouch..Yellowjacket....what happened to the Firebird? Chris

Well...if your in Amish country...I'd suggest finding a gunsmith to make a Muzzle loader...get a moose permit from the local Amish game warden...and your all set... (Just kidding) Chris

Okay...maybe now I'm a little jealous, as a truck isn't in the works for me, and the new green is a really good color, esp. for that vehicle. I think that would be a pretty rational choice for you, but... THINK GMC.... Chris

Should run well with the swap. Sorry to hear about the unemployment gig though... Chris

Thanks, TED, that realy is a wonderful car! Chris

A few interesting finds... Blue 67 Chevy truck I was talking about in another thread...would love an old Chevy truck at some point. Blue 65 Bucik skylark, two door hardtop, just like my parents had as a new car when I came home from the hospital in 65. Easy to forget what beuaitful cars 60's buicks are...also another blue Buick...63-64 4 door post...just north of 5th Avenue in Chillicothe... Daughter and I went to a couple of car lots and checked out a red 2003Boxter S and a red 2005 Honda S2000. Methinks there may be another roadster in my future...and yes I know roadster is supposed to mean a car with no roll up side windows, but I degress. Looked at a red 2009 MINI Cooper S at Midwestern Auto Group, the same place we checked out the Boxster. I think I see one of those in my future as well. Black roof, black stripes... Red 65ish MGB downtown parked when we were waiting for a 4th of July parade... Blue 1950's Volvo on High street waiting at the light at Gay street... Blue Prelude SH, about 1999 Red Ford Bronco, first gen, nicely built mud truck, sitting at the BMV when my 16 year old son got his learners permit. White G8 GT GXP at a stoplight down near Cinncinati. White BMW 1 series... Blue 1957 Pontiac 4 door hardtop, nice, sitting in someones yard on state route 104 about a quarter mile north of where I live. I may need to go ask questions about that, looked like a nice car. As far as black cars, orange cars, or other colors...same lot that had the red S2000 also had a beautiful 1999 C5 fixed roof Corvette coupe...less than 20,000 miles, less than 20,000 dollars. Who needs porn when there are so many cool cars to lust after. VERY well cared for, nice aftermarket wheels and a few other aftermarket items. Green Morgan roadster... Orange MGB GT (the coupe) Black original mini Green W-31 olds Cutlass, 1969, sitting south of Broadway a block south of Kroger. Green on Green, IIRC a green vynal top. Must not be many surviving W31 Cutlasses in 3X green. IMHO the best looking car of the whole bunch I've posted... What was nice about the cutty is although it had minor rust it was untouched and unmolested...original paint was still shiny...original rally wheels...looked like it was about ten years old rather than forty. Unusual to see a nice survivor on the roads up north here. Chris

I'm a fairly large guy, and I've found that walking up towards a vehicle with a baseball bat usually gets things to be pretty clear to morons in a pretty short order. Chris

Glad your having fun with the old Buick! Sounds like the 350 will find a worthy home... Edelbrock stuff works great, I've used it on several older cars. Chris

You could go used... However, I've come to conclude that getting exactly what you want is worth something. You don't have kids, or a fulltime boyfriend, or other responsibilities...if you want a truck I say go for it, dammit! Not sure how the Lincoln dealership you work at is going to feel about a stream of GM products, but hey... Personally...I like the GMC look a little better, so I would be thinking GMC. What colors are you thinking....? Chris

Hey, we are all hanging in there... Chris

I see nothing wrong with a square inch of it. Will the wagon come as a V- spec version? If this is the new GM, chances are they will sell me more cars! Chris

Damn, Cletus, that's two of us that have gone and done something stupid to ourselves.<br /><br />I learned that at the animal shelter my daughter Joanna works at...when a cat jumps up on your injured hand and digs in its claws...it hurts...<br /><br />Chris

Solstice in the pics looks good in green...and I disagree with gm4life...the Camaro looks good in yellow. Chris

Spent some time looking through their parts cars, 62 Buick convertible, and a 65 Skylark convertible would be fun cars if I had eleventy billion dollars and someone else to do the work. I do miss when these cars were on the damn road... The B-59's at desert vally seemed kind of picked over...what are you looking for balthazar? Chris

Can relate to FOG's what we were comment. Was going to be in a parade with the Miata club, but that got cancelled so my 13 year old and I went to another parade... More or less stayed home with my youngest three children and we played board games and fixed frozen pizza. Sometimes it's just nice to be with your family. Chris

Personally I like everything but the dashboard.... I do really like what they did at the front of the car with the foglights. Chris

They are giving up a huge amount of sales volume by deep sixing Pontiac. Cobalt is off huge, I wonder why? Chris

Seriously, though...I would love to see that thing with the 3.5 Swap on summer tires with some suspension work. It could be the perfect touring car...better handling than most modern Luxury cars (at 200k, it probably still is anyways) good looking, unique, et al. This to me is the saddest part of the whole Daimer deal. Chryco had great road feel in their cars before the whole Daimler thing, esp. LH and Neon. Chris

Damn, that sucks dude. Around here there would be a lynching party... Chris
