A Horse With No Name

Doubt I'd leave where you are now, but good luck and like Bob said, keep us posted! Chris

Astra has got to be the most under rated car on the planet right now. GM really did a great job with this one. If the next Cobalt is anywhere near this damned good things are going to get ugly in the small car market. Chris

It's a WOW car for sure, sity eight. and I have regretted not buying a couple of Black on black Monte's. They jsut look "right" that way. My son Joel loves black cars, so this would be a great father/son car for us. Gonna check and see when the auction ends. Chris

Only available in Salsa red though. Chris

I know of a P.H.D. who drives a 3rd gen F-Body, so that would pretty much shoot that stereotype in the ass. Chris

That's an excellent idea. Matt, one of our vendors has quite a little business doing just that. He has a Rolls used in Scarface or some other movie and a few other cool old cars. Coolest part is he gets MORE money out of the vintage stuff. Chris

Jesus that would be so much better. Don't know what anyone sees in the Navi as a prom-mobile, but they are popular. I always hung out with the alternative punk rock/goth type people in High School, and wanted to take a hearse to prom. Now a 65 Caddy hearse, that would be classy AND unique. Chris

Speaking of Olds, there is a 71 Cutty ragtop that has had that treatment that is running around here in Columbus. Every time I see that thing I just wanna kill someone. Chris

If I had the oney to buy a hobby car right now it would be in my garage. Chris

Always liked the Montego. Chris

Sweet! Thanks for posting that. Chris

She's pink for sure. I saw the same thing done to a 59 Buick Invicta ragtop on a local car website. Chris

Actually, this is one of the best car forums IMHO on the web. We have some people and their opinions, but still... This place, Miatanet, and Grassrootsmotorsports.com are the only real web forums I like. If you want stupidity, go to almost any of the Mustang Forums. (I say that and I am a big Mustang fan.) Stangnet isn't bad, but the rest....sorry. Chris

I also would like to know what happened to that old LeSabre. Chris

...or find some cute little bug/virus to keep any of their type from reproducing and destroy the gene pool. Chris

At least your working on a RWD car with room to work. That would be 4X the pain in the ARSE in a small FWD car. Chris

They are all fine... Chris

...and about the Caddy. The car that I will go TO MY GRAVE and regret not buying is a 69 Cadillac Wagon that was a special build festival car for the 69 Indy 500. Car was in perfect shape, GM only built 3 IIRC. Nice car! However, I bought my 55 Chev. 2 Door instead, and I'd have never enjoyed it if I'd bought that Cadillac. Chris

Ditto on the Olds thing, blu. There is nothing better for a warm summer night than an olds Cutty with a V-8 and a country road...and someone to share the experience with. Seems like the Olds cars, esp. the Cutty's, always rode and drove better than the other GM products, even the Buicks. F-41 Suspension Chevelle comes close, though. Chris

There is a Hurst Olds just like that cruisng around Columbus. Nice car! I would much rather have the 74 GTO However. We'll see how much sleep I'll loose tonight over that car. If only it wasn't a damned automatic! Chris

...o.k., and over the last couple of days I saw some really interesting cars myself. On route 35 (Ohio 35) north of Gallipolis, OH. I hit the mother lode of old cars of sorts. Old 66/67 Nova dDrag car, sixties era, originally yellow painted orange. Old strait front axle intact, crudely flared rear fenders, a real period piece. Same guy had an old Fury (58 I think, like Christine the movie car) along with a couple of more door mopars of the same era. Also a 60 or so Chevy truck flamed and in primer, great looking vintage rod. Old (39 or so) Grahm (remember those, Sixty Eight?) sitting behind the house to the side, along with a rather decrepit 65 Impala convertible and a Buick Skylark (I think convertible, it was under a blue tarp-looked to be 68-69) 66 red mustang coupe and a 71-73 Mach 1 also in the side yard. I have pics but they suck and I'm not sure how to download them from my daughters camera. Didn't want to walk onto the property for fear of getting shot...that and its private property and I respect the guys rights. About 20 miles perhaps or less North of Gallipolis if anyone is out cruising around in Ohio. Also, on South High Sreet here in Columbus, a More door T-Bird from the late 60's. And on Brown Road, beside a house that I have driven past a hundred times and never noticed it...about 6 or seven old Impalas. 65-68 Era, with a red 66 Caprice on Crager (sp?) SS Wheels. A couple more late 40's Ford Trucks in a salvage yard (went back and they were gone). Two Nova's of the 68-72 Variety sitting in salvage yards (two door cars, one with the front subframe gone but both looked restorable.) A 70-ish nova with the finned front fenders and SS-style hood sitting in pieces beside a house in Southern Ohio. Chris

Those old Chebby's had great lines. I was so pissed at the studio for destroying that old (late 30's, early 40's) Chevy in the movie Sin City. At least I remember it as a Chevy. Chris

I'll see you and raise you one... 70 Dodge Challenger, Blue, almost as clean as the Charger R/T you saw. Late 30's Packard, rolling through Columbus on a trailer. 56 Ford f-100 (with the wrap around windshield) also on a trailer, but a very nice looking project for someone. Chris

Good luck! Surgury is no fun, three of my five children have had surgury in the last 6 months and it is definitely a pain in the arse. Chris
