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:

Question: Is the hardship of Yugo plant workers being out of work after the bombing, especially if they have mouths to feed, something to be taken lightly? The workers were just doing their jobs, they didn't design the crappy little car they were building. Why isn't anyone attacking Fly's post as "callous", when, surely, hundreds of people were affected... compared to what appears to be two people in Sly's post? I swear, I do not understand all the people who pile on top of Sixty8 over harmless stuff. He is not a bad guy, y'all.

Welcome back, MF! I mean, MTF! (?) I hope the road back has been relatively smooth.

That's not a Pontiac, right Vipes? It has no cladding! Where's the cladding?

Yo aaaantoine. Have a good one, sir.

Kia driver to her insurance company: "I got rearended at a stop sign." Kia driver's insurance company: "How fast would you say you were going when you backed into this alleged Blazer? 40 mph?"

At first I was afraid, I was petrified... :AH-HA_wink:

I agree with XP. The feeling I get on a plane is akin to being on a rickety city bus. With really good ground clearance.

Neither did the cars. But hey, those old boats are splendid highway travelers. Perfect for our big country.

cmattson, one word: EFFING BRILLIANT!

It's much more solid than a Cimoron, plus, it's not a rebedge of anything.

? So was I.

Shouldn't that be "La" instead of "Le"? :AH-HA_wink:

Yupper Mr. Mutie Cutie Patootie... with a style that is unassuming, but all Chevrolet, it can be a chameleon, a clean slate... it can be anything its owner chooses. I choose to make it with healthy smallblock power and a corner carver suspension.
