Plymouth Fire Arrow, a sporty option package on the Plymouth Arrow, based on a Mitsubishi, and sold here... '78-'81? RWD, 4 cylinder. You whited out the nameplate decal on the door, just above the graphics.

2 8 1

It needs a neon kit and a fart can. Even if it never farts, it would still add like 40 horsepower. For a grand total of 40.

I think my whole bitchy post above stems from the dinky wheels. Higher profile mudgrip tires all around would look awesome on this Sierra. And a single-rear wheel, extend cab shortbed HD in black with polished rims and decent tires would soooo enhance the looks of that truck. With that exhaust pipe, all it really needs is a bumper sticker that says "Riiiiccola!"

Hey, and thanks for folding in the mirrors so they'd fit in the picture.

Diesel H2 Extended-wheelbase H2. 3 seats. Gotta have the new light-duty diesel. H3t (my fave). Regular and Crew Cab. Wrangler fighter. No need for an H1 replacement in this day and age.

Home interiors are nice, but we gotta have more faces to put to names in this thread.

PerdueGuy, that is a stainless steel roof cap, a traditional part of Cadillac's Biarritz nameplate.

You might have nicked the skin on one of the blocky edges, but I am seriously doubting your claim of exposed bone.

OK, the weather is supposed to get crappy later on this afternoon, but I'm still going. Is it too late to ask for a final roll call?

I just spent $2000 on pimping my truck and I'm still looking. Always looking.

The Electric Lime one actually looks kind of cool with the anodized blue wheels. Hate the wing though, as always. At least it's not "decal horsepower", the kid has done some real mechanical work to it. It is a genuine hot rod (to use the old skool vernacular.)

Can you rotate a tinge more blue into that green, Nos?

YES, most of the newest DCX interiors share a resemblance in style and the grain of the material. But what makes them "cheap"? Dare I say it is only because of their general "boxiness" and not for any real reason? "Cheap", to me, equals flimsy, or easily broken. I don't see evidence of those traits in current DCX interiors. I do see a sameness across the lineup that the new Sebring seems to be breaking from somewhat. All the carmakers go through interior "epochs". GM and Ford have their own, now, as always. Just because DCX's interiors, to a degree, resemble stacked boxes, doesn't necessessarily mean they'll rattle or fall apart. If it's the style you don't like, that's one thing, but boxiness doesn't always equal "cheap".

hyper, I agree wholeheartedly about cladding and screaming chickens. I am much more a fan of the clean, stylish Pontiacs than the flamboyant, overdecorated ones. It's just that the Holden does not even whisper Pontiac to me.

Be careful, razor. Don't roast your cockles.

ooooooooooo.... that's priddy.

Exactly. A Pontiac is romantic and voluptuous. The Commodore is technical and cold. Solstice and G6 coupe are the latest proof that Pontiac still adheres to those ideals. The Commodore just does not fit. Hardware alone, as the recent GTO has proven, does not sell a car by itself. To inspire emotional connection... lust, a car must have some drama, some curves, ya know?

I felt like I was in slow motion this evening as I passed a second-gen Aurora on the shoulder, front end crumpled, female driver staring into space as she looked over her deployed airbag and into the taillights of the Isuzu Trooper she had rear ended. Red and blue flashing lights strobed the sky, the officer waving people by the scene. Nothing to see here, people. Keep moving. Nothing to see here...

An Easy-Bake Oven?

Disclosure is all that is needed. Let the consumer make the choice. Let the market decide. If people are concerned about it, they will stop choosing those menu items with unhealthy fats, and the restaurant will either move to a different cooking method, or go out of business. It's that simple. As adults, we are in charge of our own destiny.

razor: agreed. The change of seasons is always something to look forward to. Every one has its good points.

Dude, those V6 Cavaliers were the $h!. I still love the sound of an early 2.8 or 3.1. So snarly.
