A Horse With No Name

Glad to see the Astra doing better. Wonder if GM does the horrible restyle thing with the G6 if it will tank also. Glad to see Malibu and CTS doing so well, the deserve to do well.

I wonder why the hell this thing isn't catching on here in the states. It is one hell of a sexy car! Last I knew, dealers had like a 300 day supply... Chris

It's still a MUCH nicer interior. Starting to have hope that things will improve! Chris

QFT. Chris

Ditto on the gunmetal grey. Satty, as has been said before, this thread is useless without pics! Chris

Wasn't it Pierce Arrow where they melted down all of the factory spares during WWII? I think they did that with one of the American Classic brands, I remember reading about it in automotive quarterly. Chris

You will someday, my friend. Until then...maybe a Challenger (new) in a year or two? I still think the silver/grey would be kick-ass on that car! Chris

This would be cool. With 5 kids to haul around, I could use a rod like that! Chris

Nahh, you really need to do it in something like the 57 Cadillac 4 door hardtop you posted the link to in another thread. The cross country thing would be WAYY to much fun in a car like that. Chris

Dude, I am a car guy at heart and this is singin my song. Before I became an Electrician I worked in acabinet shop part time down on Hudson street here in Columbus. There was a buisiness next door called "Coachbuilt Motors" and they maintained a bunch of cars you'd give your eye teeth for (I'm talking V-16 Caddy's, Pre war Rolls, Packard, Pierce Arrow, etc.) That people toured the country with. Personally I'd like a prewar Blower Bently, but it ain't never gonna happen... My choice for the cross country trip is going to be a Miata. But I'd rather do it in something like an original 37 Chevy, just like you described. Chris

Wow, my next car will be built by...VW or Mazda if GM builds this abortion. Chris

Me too. I think it will be interesting to see what happens to the economy here in central Ohio when the crap hits the fan at Honda. Chris

Look at the bright side sixty eight, they circled the problem on the front of the car and were even kind enough to highlight it in blue. Chris

I wish I could do it with you...although next time, take the B-59. Chris

Good luck and keep us posted. Chris

Mine too. Donks on anything look terrible. Chris

I would agree. Chris

Someone needs to buy that and preserve it. I was always a sucker for that body style Chevy. Chris

+1 Chris

Unlike a lot of guys here I know a fair number of people into Hondas, and a lot of them would agree with Clarkson. Chris

+1 Chris

You should have left that car "as is" and sold it as a car with "aftermarket" AC. If you really want to drive a MOPAR and have that much fresh air, wouldn't it be simpler to get a Wrangler or a CJ-7 and pull the top and doors off? Chris

Damn, that Intrepid is in good shape for a northern car, no wonder you were so pissed when that jackass hit you with that Integra. Chris

I've never had a problem but I've always used it on older cars...so good point. I would try WD-40. Chris

Cool modern FWD cars, IMHO- VW GTI HHR Cobalt SS ASTRA Euro Focus MINI Cooper S VW Jetta TDI Volvo C-30 (FWD I think, not sure) Mazdaspeed 3 Cool modern RWD cars Challenger Camaro (to be released in Jan) Mustang CTS Cadillac Solstice Sky Miata S2000 RX-8 350Z Room for both when it comes to fun cars, I think.
