A Horse With No Name

If a J-body is not out of the question, a friend who runs a shop towed in a 97 Cavi that was clean with a blown motor, has a wrecked Cavi with a low mile motor... Might make an interesting "model car" proposition. Seriously, you might think of spending a little bit more dinero and getting a decent ole Saturn. They sell pretty cheap and get good fuel economy. Chris

Yeah, I'm getting tempted to own another big ole BOF V8 car and restore it. Pretty much my car addiction means that I will never retire, but... Chris

Reminds me of an old Packard I saw atr a car show last summer. Chris

Westport has been in the news with the number of teardowns and McMansion builds there recently. Which is what I love about living here in Columbus Ohio, as a complete rabbit trail/aside to this thread. We ajust kind of an overgrown university town. Westport seems like a great town but methinks it might be getting a little overbuilt with McMansions and the newly rich. But all I know of the place is what I read on Westportnow.com...and living next to the Atlantic would be wonderful. Seriously, what is it like to live in Westport? An author of some woodworking books I've read lives there, and there are a couple of other writers whom I have enjoyed (can't remember their names to save myself) who have been from Westport. Would like to visit the town some day and see what it is like. Chris

Not just yes but HELL YES! Chris

Camino, you must reconsider Z-28's proposition. With bright yellow paint and a wing that thing would look just awesome in your garage next to the E-clipse and the Evo. All you need to do is add baggy pants hanging off of your ass, some undercar neon, and a half assed stereo and you would be all set. Seriously, thanks for sharing the photo of that B-59. I've spent too much time looking at females lately and need to look at something else that looks good from behind. Honestly had forgotten how great these cars looked with the fins and the round tail lights. Chris

With the washroom comment and a couple of your other comments you kind of get to what I was originally thinking. Last night after posting in this thread I took my 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter to a Cub Scout family roller skating night. My son kind of rolled off on his own, but my seven year old had never skated. I spent the night trying to teach her to skate, following other parents, mostly mothers around the rink and watching them bend over and pick up small children who had just fallen down. The mothers of my son's friends have some amazing features when viewed from the rear. If middle aged females that I actually liked were more sexually aggressive and if I had hit the gym as you suggest, I would face a LOT more temptation. As it is I have a pretty willing sexual partner who I am married to. Chris

Upon reflecting on this, I think your probably right. Chris

Men are assholes (myself included). However, let's not be too hard on ourselves. I know of several long term (20-30-40-50 year) relationships from both the gay and the strait side of the fence. ...and good luck to you also. Whatever happened to the guy that your teacher freind was wanting you to meet? Chris

I had a chance to buy really cheap ( think hundreds not thousands) a Malibu MAAXX that had been hit. Nice car, but wasn't worth the price to fix it. Sad to see anything hurt...other than a Kia/Hyundai/Mitsu/(insert other stupid car here) Chris

Now this is some GM horsepower.... ...and my kind of smoking. I can pledge guilty in excess of doing this... Chris

...the only crack available down in the Carolina's is plumbers crack... Chris

Don't smoke, but I drink about two gallons of coffee a day which makes up for any health benifit I get from not smoking. Chris

We own two cars on the list, a Safari van which is on the worst list and a Scion xB which is on the best list. Safari is 11 years old and way past 100k miles, Scion is an 05 and going to go past 100k in the next few months... Both have been reliable, decent cars. We have a guy we just hired with an Astro work van as a daily, 374,000 miles on it on the original drivetrain pretty much trouble free (transmission rebuild at 288k miles). If an Astro/Safari van can run 400k, maybe the Scion will run 800K because CR is the God of all things automotive and being Toyota the Scion is obviously SUCH a better car.... These articles have no basis in reality. Chris

Wow, never knew you had an autistic little girl. Used to work with a guy with and autistic daughter, they can be awesome kids... Chris

Gold standard is just a hot button issue for right wing zealots like Gary North. Chris

The planning for the military takeover of Iraq=Brilliant Bush's running of the operation since the defeat of the Iraqi militari=Moronic Chris

I would be in utter Car-Lust over the CTS...but that's just me. Chris

...and last thought here for a minute, since perhaps sex is more available to gay men is it perhaps tougher to remain "faithful" if your gay? Not meaning to offend anyone with this, but it would seem that temptation would be more "available" Chris

...and no Oldsmoboi, an open relationship does not count. Chris

Never have, but not sure that Wife would like the fact that I look at a nekkid female on the interweb from time to time. Actually not even a big fan of porn per se, but like the occasional "artistic nude female form", esp. if it is black and white. But that is as far as it goes, I really don't even fantazize about sleeping with other women than Kim. Chris

Not impressed with Mazda's Suv's, Ford Escape would be the way to go (or freestyle) If you wanted a Mazda/Ford SUv. Chris

Cobalt or G5 dude...but then I'm biased towards small cars. Chris

Hey, BV, when I took some copper wire to Ace Iron and Metal the price of Scrap Hulks (junk cars) was $235 a ton! Your rich and you just don't know it yet. Methinks the scrap yard is your friend for this Fine Feathered Ford... Chris

rx-8 makes a good track day or auto-x car but would just suck as a daily in some ways. Rotaries burn lots and lots O' fuel. Chris
