GM's Astro Ventilation led directly to the demise of "vent wings", the small, triangular windows at the front of car doors.

Youngin's, I swear... :AH-HA_wink:

HEY!!! Happy Birthday, guys!

Wow, it has "Astro Ventilation" in the quarter panels!

(pssst, Camino, bud... those were the wrong mushrooms, dude. You ok?) Well I have no idear, to be honest.

Mr. z28luvr... we know what's up... you were 17 before you could reach the pedals, right? Stace... how could I ever forget the shift pattern of a 3 speed manual on the column... first is down and back... second is up and forward, and third is down and forward. Reverse is up and back. Neutral is in the middle, and you can move the lever forward and back.

(drunk guy voice on voicemail) "Heeeey Nos! Wake up! Oh Frannnnnkieeeeeee... where you at, motha f@#ka? There's some chicks here askin' for your dumb ass! Oh effin' f@#k it man... I gotta tell you somethin' since you're not there... I... I... I EFFIN' LOVE YOU MAN! YOU'RE SOOO HOT! I mean... oh $h!... nevermind. Gotta go... chicks, man!"

Uh, look at that glad hand. He's just sooo happy to be there with you, Sly!

Now I want to see a Rubicon 4 door, with the top on. The tires look a bit small on "kermit".

What a big dummy...

I guess it was my grandfather's '69 F-250 pickup... 390 with 3 on the tree and no power steering. Luckily, it was not on public roads, because I was a little $h! and had to look between the dash and steering wheel to drive it. I was prolly 10 years old. He traded it in '75 for another F-250 of the same configuration, except I think that one had the crappy 360 V8.

Camino, you're so tempting. Stop it! :AH-HA_wink:

Darn it, I was hoping the "heavy duty" model would have a manual transmission available, instead of the CVT. I'll have to test drive a Caliber with CVT to see how it feels. I was not impressed with a test of an ION with CVT.

In public? So... you'd ask that hot dude to follow you into the locker room or something so you could check his jock strap? I'm sorry I just have to attempt to shut down all this philosophical talk and maybe kill the thread in the process. There's nothing "gay" about the damn commercial. It's "PC" run amok that's ruining this country. I am sure Dodge Caliber will have a sizable gay following though, because it's a macho, versatile little cruiser.

Phil Collins?

NO, dammit! :AH-HA_wink:

Agreed. More than likely, it's your nice package that lured them in.

I understand Barry Manilow has a new album out. Hey, Trina, tell us about it, bud.

My word: NO.

Aww... Viper. I'm sorry, bud. It is so true, dogs are family. They're the only people I know that are happy to see you every single day.

Well, too bad. I've been binging on B-class cars lately, and the Swift looks to be the most entertaining. It also looks boyish, unlike some other Bs, except for the Dodge Hornet, which so far is only a concept. I think the Swift is all-Suzuki, isn't it? I hope it's not a Daewoo. The Swift is much cooler looking than the Aveo, and the British rags all love it. It's a shame if this car cannot be brought over here, especially with the proliferation of this size of car we have now. I feel it would help Suzuki.
