I don't understand what you mean, Fly. The Kia has six lug wheels, the Honda... five. :AH-HA_wink:

How many people died while on Safari?

What is that faint tapping noise coming from your fridge, Sixty8?

Didn't they do that a lot with them there SEvilles? Bobo, fill us in, boy!

Are you sure that's not a fiberglass body? It's a cool little thing.

With the excellent Solstice GXP engine, a RWD Cobalt would be, by far, the most desirable car in its class, because of the wonderful, neutral feeling of driving a RWD car without the burden of heavy steering that tries to fight you for control.

And now we have a Maxima and an Altima that are rightly ripped for excessive torque steer with the V6. That's not progress.

NASCAR needs to start over. They've evolved themselves out of relevance, imo. It would be so much more fun to watch real stock cors go round in circles than the clones that are out there now. Just take out the interior, put in a race seat, weld in a roll cage, replace the glass with Lexan, put on speed rated tires, omit the top speed cutoff, remove the catalytic converters, and let 'em race. THAT would breed a better car for the street.

Grand Am and Alero share doors. One reason for the wide, ribbed moldings on Grand Am doors... to hide the two ribs stamped into the sheetmetal. It looks especially funny on a 2 door Grand Am with no side moldings because the door has the Alero ribs, but the quarter is flat as a pancake ahead of the wheel.

To me, the fact that it's rear drive puts it in a whole different class. It would actually be fun to fling it around a road course. Another reason why GM needs to keep their promise for a few more small RWD cars. They will be loved.

Old School Japanese, eh?

Listen to Croc, mute. There's room for only ONE pink Grand Prix in this community. :AH-HA_wink:

Of course, my faves are GM from this era. Second, overall, would be Mopar... but Ford had several nice designs as well. Please, Sixty8, in your quest to post a few hardtops, don't leave out the FoMoCo team. For full size, I like the '60, the '63.5, the '64-'67 Fords and the '71-'72... I like the 63.5 Falcon, too, with its trim dimensions and nice low body. I think Falcons look good with modern rims and a healthy 289 or 302.

A development mule for some future badass El Camino? :AH-HA_wink:

The '98 Taurus is the catfish one, right? I didn't know they had a 4 cylinder available.

Little-known fact: he also invented Harry Potter glasses.

I don't, for the life of me, understand where these FWD geeks (I'm a geek too, but a different kind) are coming from. My ION was such a crappy car to drive in the snow. It wouldn't go anywhere with the traction control on, all it wanted to do was bog down to an idle. It was only marginally better with it off, because I could spin the hell out of the Firestones to gain some momentum. I have a very shallow incline up my driveway into my garage. With 2 inches of snow on the 20 foot driveway, I had to make several runs to get the damn thing into the garage. On turns in snow, if I touched the throttle, I flat out could not steer the damn thing... all it wanted to do was shoot straight sideways into the curb. This was not an old car with bald tires... this was a new car with less than 10k miles. With my truck in 2wd, I can steer just as easily in snow as I can on dry road, with the added benefit of being able to kick the tail just a bit with the gas to tighten my turn... the total opposite affect of my FWD car. A pickup truck has an inherent disadvantage in weight distribution when it's unloaded, for sure, but a modern RWD car with decent weight distribution should be able to handle just about anything. Long live RWD! The natural alternative!

Yeah, I think that's a '79 Impy.

Looks good from here!

It's definitely time to shave this board. It's way too harry in here. Hey Sly, what was that magazine we were looking at, the euro version? You were looking at the hot chicks, I was looking at the hot dudes. We were like twins! :AH-HA_wink:

In honor of your boifday, I am going to the beach and putting up a sign. I made it myself and everything. It says "Paulie Shore". You like? Too corny perhaps? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAULIE!

Oh loooorrrrrddd....

The gun barrell needs more girth.

Harry, you sly old dog. You slay me! Happy Birthday, Josh!

To find a hot stud who is honest, responsible and fun to be with, someone I can spend my life with. :AH-HA_wink:
