A Horse With No Name

This is an abomination...but then it's still better than half the other products being offered so... Chris

I would agree. The problem to me is that we need to differentiate between conservative and Republican. I think there are a lot of good, conservative people who want to see the domestics survive. To me it is obvoius the Republican party is out of touch...but the Democratic party is just as out of touch if not more so. It's hard to think of two people less alike than Rush Limbaugh and Ralph Nader...but both of them have spoken out against how Republicans and Democrats have become too much alike and too little oriented towards the working classes that built this country. While I don't particularly like either Limbaugh or Nader, Methinks they are right. We need a healthy national debate based on whats best for the country, and not based on personality. Our democracy is in a shameful place...we need real reform now, and we need it in both parties. On the plus side if Japan, INC. takes over the US, I do like Sushi, noodles, and asian ladies with long, beautiful black hair...so it isn't all a loss. Chris

It will be if the nutcases in this country take over and pursue their anti-gay agenda... Seriously, I think that people ought to be out protesting in the streets given what's going on. Makes me wish I lived in the sixties...great cars and people cred enough to raise a little hell. We need some good hell raisers in this country...where is Future of GM when you need him? Chris

When I was canvassing for Obama during the election, one elderly gentleman suggested that we line everyone up in Washington and shoot them. For some strange reason I've come to appreciate the sentiment more each day. Chris

I've noticed this and I appreciate it... Chris

+1 Sixty-Six

Bush and Co just want to be able to blame the dems when the bailout doesn't work.... Be nice to see a similar criticism of the financial industry. Chris

I like Pineapple on Pizza once in awhile... Chris

Silver is the best color IMHO for most 60's GM cars. Ever seen a silver GTO or a silver first gen Camaro? Actually the GTI looks good in that silver-grey they have for it...don't know if they have that color for the Rabbit, but I've seen TDI Jettas that color...NICE!

Just put that dark green on a 1950's cadillac, a mid 60's Mustang Fastback, or a first gen Jag E type and we are good. Best green ever for the car was Verdero Green, on the 68 GTO and Firebird. We had neighbors growing up that had that color on a Bonneville...beautiful car.

My friends Burt and Kathy have a white first gen, that shares a garage with a 40,000 mile pristine first gen MR2. David, the librarian at the library where my 18 year old daughter tutors underprivilaged children, drives a white second gen. It may be a regional thing, white Prius cars are common here in the midwest. Chris

I'd say go for the Pontiac. I've found a few F bodies I like, but they always seem to come automatic. I would prefer a non T-Top car, was out of town and went to look at a T top Firebird during a rainstorm...it was perhaps the one car on the planet that would make a mid sixites Mustang convertible seem watertight. If you must have T tops, you could always make arangements to park the car upside down, of course. Seriously, I don't like the loss in ridgidity with a t-top car. Chris

This is one of the biggest marketing problems for the domestics. Certain demographic groups just won't be caught dead in a domestic... From what I've seen...Hispanics tend to buy Asian cars, young and upwardly mobile gen Y types like you said, people on the coasts, elderly people who got fet up with Detroit in the 70's and 80's... Who am I missing? Chris

Oh, and +1 for the Buick Park Avenue and the Reatta. Chris

Actually, I like the Celebrity Eurosport the best of that era GM cars...they were a cleaner, simpler design that just seemd to flow and be right for the era. Chris

The original OMNI wasn't a bad car for its era...I owned one, once...and would still like a GLH. While were talking about FWD Mopars, I'd like one of the Shelby FWD cars, pref. a two door, in silver thank you. Those were neat little cars. Chris

Your right about the location thing. Here in Columbus, most of the domestics have dealerships in rural areas or urban, working class/poor neighborhoods, while the suburbs are dominated by (mostly Japanese) import stores. Hadn't thought of that before, but it makes a lot of sense. Chris

Wow, glad to see you are O.K..... +1 for the idea of a hitch...a buddy had one like that on a Jeep and managed to puncture a few radiators... Chris

Agree, love the color... Chris

Like she said...wow... Chris

I thought you and Jessi Chan were toing to get the F out of Craphole Lawrence, mAssachusetts? Chris

Like I said, keep us posted. Looking forward to drooling over whatever you get to replace the G5. And if your ever in Columbus, bring it (your new baby) out to the SCCA or Buckeye Miata Club autocross. We need to show the local Honda boys all the tail-light they can stand... chris

I insure two cars, full coverage with towing, rental car, glass breakage, etc, $250 deductable, no deductable for glass breakage, new car replacement, etc... For $104 per month. Yay to being married, having kids, and living in rural Ohio. Chris

I've lost interest in it... Chris
