A Horse With No Name

Not just no but hell no. My mother in law bought a Chryco minivan that had been owned by a smoker, dealerhsip tried all kinds of stuff for a year...about once a month...didn't get the smell out. Tried independant detail shops, etc...still no luck. 21 year old University student running into said van, totaling it...and van being crushed and melted...that got rid of the smell. Once it's there it's there. Chris

Saw a 68 Charger R/t in rural Ohio, parked alongside a very healthy looking Duster. Dark Blue T/A firebird, another one, nice. Austin Healy 3000. Chris

200 cars is not a very large sample group. I wonder if they got some bad brake pads from a vendor or something. Now if it was Toyota... Chris

I always drive under the limit in PA. they seem to be as much as a Nazi state as Ohio when it comes to speeders. Sorry to hear about your ticket. Chris

Last gen WRX-STi is an awesome car, Sixty Eight. Nice choice! Really like the sound of that flat four under acceleration. Chris

Indy 500 Party, my son's 16th birthday, a road tour of southern Ohio with a bunch of car clubs (had everything from vintage British cars to Ferrari's show up) and another trip to southern Ohio with my family yesterday... TTS is a great car....looks good with the other Audi. Chris

Your in much better health than I am. Chris

Praise (the non existent) God and pass the collection plate... Nice pics. Chris

I am working on developing my driving skills and no longer being Captain slow at the local auto crosses. Last time out we did pretty well... I am also thinking of building a kit car or street rod in the future, so I am trying to develop the tools (air compressor, hand tools, etc.) needed for the job. Possibly taking some classes in automotive tech at my local community college...which will be almost free since my wife works there. Want badly to buy both a diesel VW and a MINI...but want to pay cash and stay out of debt...so right now I am just chucking money away. Chris

Who does have the highest post count here? Chris

Nothing as dramatic as cletus...but here is our Buckeye Miata Club Indy 500 Party http://picasaweb.google.com/cruzzen/2009Bu...PHSttGSroqb7gE# The girl in the yellow shirt with the sunburn in the top row is my teenaged daughter Joanna. As you can tell from the sunburn, we enjoyed the top down driving thing a little bit too much that day. Oh, and check out how my friend Steve had his yard decorated for the party. Chris

With a big thumpin big block.... Chris

Way to go, dfelt! Two more awesome trucks in the C and G family. Like I told gm4life...pics! Chris

Creative...I like the stance on the car, the exposed Hydraulic pumps are a bit much...Paint job is sweet... But I'd rather dump that cash into a Camaro, an older diesel GM truck as a tow vehicle, and three seasons thrashing the Camaro around road race circuits in the SCCA. Chris

I just love the TDI (obviously) and really would like to see GM bring diesel tech into the US. Too bad they never really sorted out the Diesel V8's before they brought them out back in the late 70's early 80's. Those cars were great cars when they ran... TDI IMHO is about eleventy billion times more car than the Prius.

Passed on... Chris

GTX convertible, Orbit orange GTO must have been just amazing. The US auto industry never really was the same after about 70-71. I just love cars from that Era. Chris

Cruze is not a bad looking car...let's get this baby on sale in the US. This just gets me mad that the rest of the world gets Euro toruing car racing and we get the worthless Nascrap stuff. It's enough to make me move to France... Chris

Actually I think about the 370Z...but my wife and kids don't like it.... But Nissan is def. on the move. Chris

Considering that of those left here posting...we could all fit into a Pontiac G3 with comfort... Let's hope we see an eighth.

Piston... Chris

Ford has got it going on... Another nice 1950's GMC truck and a 53-54 Ford p/u made into a very nice street rod and painted bright red... Chris

I am no expert but it sounds like a wheel bearing or a brake rotor to me...plus it is probably out of alignment. Chris

...and as far as Toyota goes, second gen MR2. We used to ahve a really clean (pristine, really) red one show up to our autocrosses. Guy totaled it in November, so you can imagine my sadness when the guy showed up with a plain jane white Scion TC in its place for our last autocross. At least my Co-driver and I had better times for 7 out of the 8 runs than the Scion. But second gen MR2 for sure...and along with that last year Fiero would be a car I would just love to own. But I think Camino originally wanted new cars...sorry if this is a thread derail... Chris

+1 Also...Ford Focus...as I need at least 1 normal car, and it would be a nice domestic alternative to a Cobalt. Chevrolet 4th gen Camaro LS1 (and Firebird of same flavor) I liked the torino in the movie Gran Torino...nice bodystyle Ford. Not what your looking for, but I like the pre WWII Fat Fender Chevrolet's (say 38-40 Era). Always wanted a nice SBC powered street rod based on one of these just to cruise around with my family. And yes, Solstice and HHR are there on my list as well, Camino. Drove a Solstice panel and was very impressed. Chris
