A Horse With No Name

My son Jeol and I went out to the local Dodge dealer and checked out the Challenger. They had TWO on the sales floor in Orange. Sweet car, were I to buy one I'd take an R/T in B-5 blue with the heritage package... Chris

Interestingly, one of my very good friends who is a realist and a MOPAR guy sees them going down within the next 5-10 years. Chrysler is in deep crap indeed, I think. Chris

Still a sweet car, though. Chris

That Cutlass ragtop was cool also. Chris

I've given myself an ulcer from too much coffee, so watch out. Chris

Glad to hear your o.k., Dave. Chris

I liked both the blue and the grey also. Chris

Actually Sixty Eight you ought to go watch the Honda boys go play at a NASA or SCCA style event. At the NASA national championships the Honda H1 class (cars like Civic Si and Integra type R) were turning faster lap times around Mid Ohio than the Camaro-Mustang challenge cars. I've seen plenty of front drive 4 cyl cars spank V-8 RWD cars on road racing tracks like Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio, Virginia International, etc. The Ricers OTOH need to get a clue. Actually though, at the last car show I was at, guy had a street lega/drivable Civic that ran low 11's, in the quarter. Was probably a lot faster than all of the 442's, Road runners, etc. there.

Honda has done a great job building great driving cars. I have a very good friend who is a doctor, and drives an Acura TL. I'd never say "hey buddy your car is an ugly P.O.S." He loves his Acura. I understand a lot of people love them. To me it is just bland. The new Accord 2 door is starting to grow on me a little though. Not a car I'd buy, but the looks are growing on me. Chris

You forgot the yellow paint and the "R" badge. Chris

I would...could you say "PARTS" for a great street rod or kit car? That would be about it for me, I'm afraid. Chris

The G8 has style...I would love to pull up with my wife and family in a G8. It ain't just the RWD, buddy... The Acura we are discussing would be perfect if we were pulling into a circus ring and eight million clowns were going to get out. chris

Audi has greaty features and build fantastic cars...but this show how this is all subjective. Somewhere on another forum a Nissan Maxima owner is blasting an Audi product. Chris

IMHO the new Maxima has to be one of the ugliest cars of the 21st century. Had it been built 10 years ago, it would also have the honor of being one of the ugliest cars of the 20th century. chris

I would move utterly the f@#k out of Toronto, IMHO... Chris

UPS doesn't screw around. Hope you guys get some rest, I'm back to working 40 hour weeks. Oldsmoboi, saw a sweet late 60's Toronado on the way home from work tonight. Chris

Sweet story, sweet car. Chris

The Granada is still better looking IMHO than the Acura though. Chris

...we all have what we like and dislike. Honda has yet to build a car as good looking as the Mazda 6 IMHO. Chris

Bush is a crappy Republican. Were e to get someone that actually represented the best of republican values, I'd vote for them but McCain and Bush are both idiots IMHO. Chris

Seriously, I love convertibles and the thought of a cheap one seems to keep me thinking. Although I'd much rather pay 5k and buy a decent Fox body Mustang ragtop or a 3rd gen Camaro ragtop I think...

Yes, I know we were talking NEW, but to me, given the choice of A. G37, new, 35k B. Mustang GT new, 35K or C. Mustang GT, slightly used, 24k, the answer would be "C." Even new to new though, I'd drop 35k on a Mustang GT before I'd drop it on a G37. Chris

Never driven one, but seeing nice clean ones for $1500 with less than 100k made me think. Chris
