A Horse With No Name

Happy birthday, Nick! Chris

Glad you enjoyed it back here where it is green, Cubical. I would love to see your Mustangs sometime.... Chris

...and remember the Chevelle was emasculated after 70. IIRC you could get a 307 in an SS Chevelle in like 72. Heavy Chevy came with a 307 when you wanted it that way. Irony of Irony I know of two cars that came with a 307 and a four speed from GM...a red 69 Camaro that my friend Allen bought new and a blue Ragtop Chevelle that a customer of mine used to own. That Chevelle was blue on blue, 72, bucket seats...NICE car. Damn, I miss the days when these cars were everywhere and on the street every day. Chris

The Gt-37 or T-37...hmmm...actually remember that one....one of the guys on the football team in high school had one...don't remember the guys name...but he had red hair and the car was white. It was quite a nice car...similar to the Heavy Chevy, which came out in 71 IIRC. Was nice when GM offered things in different flavors and every flavor was good. Mostly what I get out of this thread is sadness and a nostalgia for when times were much better. Methinks those times will never be here again. Chris

Ding ding ding...we have a winner here, methinks. Chris

Depends how sensitive you are to the smell as well...I've known people with alergies to still have problems after the whole ozone thing... Chris

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
