A Horse With No Name

The 370Z makes me think that there is life in Nissan yet. NOTE-I am expressing personal opinion of a dislike for Nissan cars. Painfully, I will admit they do seem to build a really solid car. I've ridden in 250k-300k mile cars that seemeed MUCH better bolted together than a Toyota or Honda of the same milage. They just don't build anything that I think is class leading or appeals to me on an emotional level. Chris

The scary thing is that if we reduce Pontiac to Solstice and G8, the number of USA built Pontiacs will be less in a month than they built in a day just a short while ago. Pathetic and sad, methinks... Chris

+1 The challenge is part of the fun! Chris

...and YES to a wood dash car...I love it in the 60's GTO's, I love it in old British sports cars, and the MINI wood dash is as close to real as any simulated wood has gotten. Chris

Before I die I'm going to own a British racing green car. We have three Miatas in the buckeye Miata Club that are BRG (91 Special Edition). I would prefer an original Lotus Elan, Caterham 7, or MG-TC in BRG...But I'd take a MINI or Miata gladly. (BRG was not available orig. on the TC, BTW) Chris

The purple color is hot...I've seen a few of the Purple turned into SCCA racecars, and I almost cringe at the thought of someone wrecking a purple one on track. If I find one used at a good price in Purple, I'm selling my house! Chris

We are getting off topic, though. Maybe we should post some nice Buick pics so Pauli can cheer up.... Actually, I think you gay guys need to try the midwest. Out here most of the gay men I know have long term partners. It would be interesting to know if their is a difference in gay culture between the midwest and the coasts. Actually, a couple of the guys who live in a building we are finishing are gay and are car nuts. I'm not making this up...he goes by B.J. and his boyfriend goes to the name of V.J. He drives a Mitsu Eclipse and his boyfriend drives an RX-8 Mazda. I'm not much of a judge of males, but they both seem to ahve that dark cleanshaven muscular look that the 345,564,667.329 gay men who post here seem to like. Chris

GM should have the whole Astra linup here in the states...that would be cool...some cool variants of that. Chris

Another car I could just kill myself for not buying. A REAL 409, 1 OWNER! Car that was available locally a few years ago, about 20,000 original miles, still had all of the original paint, etc. They wanted 14 grand for it...it was a base car, dig dish hubcaps, 2 door post Biscayne. Blue on Blue. Should have bought it...would love to know what happened to it. But it would be cooler as a Pontiac. Chris

But he's still short a buck. Chris

I find strip clubs a complete turnoff. Actually, I like artistic nude photography though...and gay guys have it better. Seems like more artistic effort is put into photographing the male body. I think most guys get a camera and a naked girl and think its art. Gay men have a much better idea of what constitutes art and the human body. Chris

This thread is too funny. Glad we all can laugh at religion and politics... Chris

Past the deadline, but 4 1 2 Chris/66

If they didn't it would be a nice "phantom" Chris

It's fair for them to show viability, they are asking for 25 billion or so...chump change compared to the finance companies, but still 25 billion is 25 billion. On a personal note I really don't envy any of our leaders. Chris

I was scared with the same thing with Reagan. Again, not to make this political-there are a lot of very good elected republicans-but I wonder if he ever really recovered from the Hinkley shooting... Chris

Given the state of our nation, all 435 memebers of the house should be under a state of duress-things are going to get very ugly in 2009. Chris

I just don't see the Nissan attraction, lots of other people here do. Nissan IMHO just needs to go away. I feel about it what a lot of other people feel about Toyota. CTS is a MUCH better car, FWIW. Chris

You sure you just haven't been 15 12 more times? Chris

The Hyundai is still a Hyundai, there is no unique personality to the car. The G8 has a very unique personality. If you want a mee too mobile with soft plastics, the Hyundai should be a set of wheels for you... Chris

Exactly. Chris

I'm scared that in 2012 things will still be bad and we will do something reactionary and stupid which will put us further in the hole. What was that pessimist and a cynic thing again...kinda rymes with realist. The average age of a car in the USA is almost ten years now, I think that a lot of people will keep cars that are serving them well for quite awhile. I'm also really scared that the more interesting stuff (Sosltice, G8, Mustang, et al) will get cancelled and that what will be available when the economy gets better will be a bunch of Corolla wanna bees. It will be interesting to see what BMW does here in the states. Chris

I'm begining to think that if their is a god Sex is his/her idea of a joke, everyone chasing each other around here on eath to get in each others pants. Chris

I like option #3 myself. Chris
