A Horse With No Name

I've seen grey and green Prius second gen cars... Chris

It will be sadder yet if the big three go away and were forced to buy a Kia Amanti as our signature car. We need to get back to building "American" cars again...the G8 is a very nice start, methinks. Chris

I would agree on the conservative thing. Chris

Agreed. Chris

I would agree with you. Solstice coupe=automotive sex on wheels.... Chris

Actually the Prius has its place... But if you want fuel economy, there are better ideas. Up in one of our suburbs we had a problem where a Prius was in a bad accident and the rescue crews were afraid to go to work for fear of electrocution. IIRC, the crews at the Bonneville salt flats had to go through additional safety training when a modified Prius ran out there. Chris

Personally, I like the 62-63 Impala the best...but who can argue with the gorgeous 64? Methinks if I could go back in time, a nice 61 or 62 bubletop Bel Air two door would find its way into my garage. I know of a really pristine black 61 Bel Air bubletop that lives down in Gallipolis, Ohio. Guy also owns a 60 Nomad wagon, a Sky, A 69 Z28 Clone, 87 Iroc that is red and beautiful, a 66 Chevy truck that is nice, a 63 chevy truck that is beautiful, a real big block SS454 70 Monte Carlo (white with a black top and guts...looks real clean and classy) a real 429 Cobra Jet ranchero (1970) and a Challenger (pro street, blue) thrown in for good measure. I like the Bubletop, the Sky, and the 69 the best in the collection. But if you twisted my arm a little bit, I'd take the rest of it as well. Oh, and he also has a 33 Chevy street rod. But seeing the bubletop the other day...hmmm...methinks I need another old Chevy in the garage. Chris/66

That would be one sweet car. Although 66 was the first year for the Caprice, IIRC. That was a nice variant also. Chris

Bigtime. Dude is going to be down about $6000 or more, probably more... Chris

Most forms of religion. A lot of dogs, although some are O.K. Nissan automobiles. Communism Steak cooked past medium rare Hyundai The ear infection that is currently giving me a monster headache The idiots in the Mustang community. I love Mustangs, and there are a lot of great Mustang owners, but if you want to find idiots that love cars, look no further than some of the people that post on Mustang boards. Theocracy The blending of church and state Iran The cat litter box I'm going to clean in about 5 minutes... My oldest son's last report card. Most forms of religion...oh wait...I already posted that one. Chris

By the way, Chin up pauli... Ran into my old friend Lee yesterday. Seems he lost his leg and suffered several other disfiguring injuries in a motorcycle accident, which then led to him loosing his job. He's doing a little bit better though...he is good looking and well spoken, and is going to possibly go to work as a spokesman for Willowood, the company that made his artificial limb. He has a sesne of humor about the whole thing actually...my friend Laura is a lifelong friend of Lee, and she said that on holloween Lee sat on his front porch dressed normally, but with his artificial leg on backwards. Supposedly got a few interesting looks from children walking up to get candy. Another electricain I know just lost his 9 month old Silverado in a fire resulting from the improper installation of a truck alarm. The insurance won't cover his tools or the $4000 worth of nice aftermarket upgrades he had on the truck. Thankfully he is buying a nice older GMC work truck from a mutal friend. But Pauli you still have your health and your car...as well as your friends... Keep your chin up sir, things will get better. Chris/66

Personally, college football is the only stick and ball type game I ever seem to watch. The last time I watched a full length baseball game it was the Cleveland Indians back in 1991. The last time I watched an NBA game was 1992. I go to Columbus Blue Jackets Hocky games once in awhile... Chris

The 69 Mustang has to rate as one of the most badass American cars ever. I almost bought a 69 Mach 1 when I bought my 55 Chevy. The 69-70 Fastback Mustang was the very best of the Mustang breed, IMHO. To me, the very best of the Camaro didn't come until much later, in the form of the LS-1 powered cars of 98-02. Chris

The Impala I am thinking of matched the one on the box cover, but had a white interior. Always loved the 65 Impala. Sadly, by the time I started liking cars, most of the 58-61 stuff was gone. i remember a few of them running around, but I grew up in Wisconsin, and cars rusted very badly in my old home town. Chris

Thanks! Chris

Which is why I love the Solstice and Sky so much. To me they are the purest example of American car design currently being built. Chris

56 Desoto was one of the best 50's designs. They paced the Indy 500 that year, IIRC. One of the best reads I ever read was about an American serviceman who bought a 56 DeSoto in the wilds of Iraq and managed to drive it back somehow through Turkey, and then through Europe, and then get it shipped back to the US. Forget where I read about that trip...wish i could remember. Cadillac IMHO had the best 60 design...I love what they did with Plum and Iris colored cars during this era. One of my fav. GM cars of all times was a 396 powered 65 Impala in that Iris color (Iris Mist as a Pontiac color, not sure of the Chevy name) with a white interior. Used to run around my old home town of Muncie, Indiana. Wound up on a used car lot next to a 65 Galaxie 500 Xl, White with a black vynal top and red interior. Wish that the collector car hobby paid more tribute to full sized cars. Around here, a ton of Mustangs, Camaro's, GTO's, TA's Vettes' etc. show up for cruise in's and car shows. But it is very uncommon for a fullsize car to show up any more. Chris

Very beautiful, thank you for posting this. Chris

Waiting for the pic... Chris

Fresh out of cash also...but damn that's a nice truck. Chris

Love that era of Cougar. Chris

+1 Chris

Because if we punish Japanese firms the Japanese will punish American firms wanting to do buisines in Japan. Much better would be laws leveling the playing field so that American vehicles could be sold on a fair basis in Japan. Chris

Sounds more like an alternator to me, Pauli... Chris
