A Horse With No Name

Camino, Ted, et al...I am willing to do whatever ya'll need to help out around here. Personally I love the place, and actually love all of the guys (and GM partsgirl) here. Chris

I agree...I personally dislike the design of most Nissan automobiles, and dislike their buisiness practices. I noticed the same thing in a Honda ad and a Nissan ad last night. usually I don't watch TV, but I've been to the emergency room twice and the doctor once with an ear infection from hell...and it's tough to do much when they give you Percocet for pain. But keep posting FOG, at least I'm reading and paying attention. Chris

AAS,you do currently have the Camaro in your sig, right? Chris

That sweet little truck needs to make someone a nice weekend driver. Chris

I agree balthazar. Back in the 50's and 60's, creative competition with corporate support worked really well for GM. Once they tried to homogonize themselves, they lost part of theiur identity and things went wouth from there. Chris

With a big block and fresh sheet metal? With slick paint that Nova would bring 10-12K around here... At least before the economy went way south...I haven't followed muscle car prices much but I know they've gone in the toilet the past few months. Chris

Interesting, I've wondered if a few people here were "ghost posters" or "sock puppets" of sorts. Maybe I'll slide over to the B-59 forum in search of Sylvester... Chris

So you like the Nissan Cube and the first gen Scion xB? Chris

We've already had a couple of Mazda dealers close around here, and word from the inside is a lot of the other Honda/Toyota stores are in trouble also. Chris

Great price on that Monte...better not let knightfan see that! Chris

...so be creative and start a car related thread. Hell, even post some pics of the niced white Olds in your sig. I like that as well as anything you've owned. Wouldn't mind owning a car like that myself. I was sorry to see THAT go overseas. Actually wouldn't mind a 2 door 4 speed variant of the same car. Chris

Sometimes a meal by yourself and a car trip is the best way to beat the blues. BTW, how did the 'balt handle at 110??? Chris

That's almost as obscene as some of your porn titles...and not nearly as funny. Sixty-Six

Since we want to talk about cars, heres another car thread-post a pic or link to the WORST modified Japanese vehicle. I'd bet balthazar would just DIE if someone parked this in his driveway... http://www.superstreetonline.com/featuredv...b/photo_01.html Please post links, comments, etc...but thread rules are Japanese vehicle-Modified-Comedy value... Chris

Personally, I think we're all sick of bailouts...somehow I think that 2010 and 2012 will also be years that votors will show discontent at the polls. So I think this just picks up on our national cynicism. To be bipartisan, what we need right now is a dose of "morning in America" by Reagan and "Change, and we can do better" by Obama. One of the biggest things we need to get rid of is this coud of negativity that has been floating over our heads since the 1970's, anyways. Were Americans (and Canadians) Dammit! We CAN do better... ...and if we don't, there is a Kia Rio waiting on a lot for its debut in your driveway. Sixty-Six

No, not if it is in good condition, but the devil is in the details. A friend of mine that buys and sells old chevy trucks says that the market is in the tank for these right now. but if the body is 100% solid, and the interior is as nice as it seems, and it runs well/drives well...that would be right up my ally. My wife has been bugging me for a long time to get a nice old truck like this, I'd better make sure she doesn't see this one, as I don't hve twelve grand sitting around. But if I did, I'd be thinkin' about it. Chris

Yes I do...and after seeing them driven in "anger" I can relate 100 percent. The shot of that motor in your link could make me a fan in a hurry. The LS series of motors has always been a work of art IMHO. Chris

Exactly. We need this forum to refocus on design and actual automobiles. and while I enjoyed the political discussion, methinks going back to the no politics rule might not be a bad idea! Chris

Asian Ladies over 50, so they can appeal to the Camry buying demographic perhaps. Chris

The Japanese cars I really have liked I can count on my fingers- 1. Mazda Rotary cars 2. Miata 3. 240Z The Prelude was a good drivers car (my sister owned one, and I got to experience what it could do on curvy North Carolina backroads) for a FWD. The Honda people are really friendly, and show up at Mid Ohio and the local autocrosses, etc. But I am not much of a Japanese car fanboi. Sixty-Six

Here are the rules of this thread-post a link of a GM (only GM, Sorry boys) car for sale in your locality and tell why you like it. I get to go first... http://www.arenamotor.com/listings/l0005.html I like it because 1. Its a 4 speed 2. it's a great color combo 3. I've always had a soft spot for chrome bumper C3's 4. It's a driver and hasn't been resotred to within an inch of it's life as a trailer queen 5. The top goes down! 6. Orig. drivetrain 7. It just has "the look" if you know what I mean... Your turn, guys (and GMpartsgirl). Respond as to what you like or don't like about this car..or post a link to a car in your area. Oh, and Sixty Eight they have one for you too... http://www.arenamotor.com/listings/l0006.html Chris

The 75 was the last year of the fullsized Buick ragtop, IIRC. Nice looking cars... They looked best in cark colors, like Blue or Maroon. Somehow the chrome came off as more elegant that way... Chris

It's a perfect time for a good book, a cat on your lap, and an afternoon break for a monster cheezeburger with bacon. Chris

I like an all veggie pizza once in awhile actually... Chris

Think that Verdero was Pontiac exclusive...and Buick built some of the sexiest ragtops ever. My grandfather owned several... Chris
