  1. My uncle had a red metallic '69 Mach 1 with white vinyl interior. I thought it was cool, with the horn location and the little turn indicators on the back of the hood scoop. I got myself in trouble because I sprayed "OFF!" bug repellant on his taillight lenses and permanently dulled the plastic. What did I know, I was only 5. <eg>

    Curtain Call

    Eminem seems to instinctively know how to keep "us" interested. Except for this Kim thing... oh wait, maybe this is a set-up for more drama and not a lasting reconciliation. (Certainly not wishing them bad luck, but with their history, ya know...)
  3. Among others, I'd like to find a '79 Buick Century Turbo Coupe (the fastback one), and build an evil Buick V6 for it. I wouldn't want to have to tub it, because it would also need to get around corners like a go kart. I'd keep it stock looking (except for the rims, tires and ride height), minus the vinyl graphics. Ya don't see too many of those.
  4. I honestly like that red '58 Lincoln, and the new '06 Rio, although I prefer the hatchback. That '61 Plymouth is whacked out, however. Too many lights on the front. I guess that's for the Max Wedge to light up the Autobahn... what country was that photo taken in?
  5. Ah love me a good boofay meal, with mashed taters and nice brown gravy with lumps into 'er! And furreyed pork chops! And Belinda loves them turkey croakettes!
  6. Not nearly as scary as a Charger squad car, and that's not necessarily a good thing, imo. It will be interesting to read the test results on police vehicles this year... Crown Vic 4.6L, Impala 3.9L (what, no 5.3? bah) and Charger 5.7L.
  7. I agree, a FWD F car would have sold like ice on a glacier, and it would have completely destroyed the Camaro and Firebird names forever.
  8. Yikes, if the year was stamped into it, that means a new plate was issued yearly... that's a lot of busy prisoners.
  9. OK class, the word of the day is: DISTURBING. Who can put it in a sentence? :)
  10. Those "speaking tubes" are outrageously cool.
  11. Yeahbut, Sixty8, everybody thought TV should be free too, and look at us now. We complain because there's nothing on 130 channels. I used to listen to Stern every morning on the way to work, until my local station took him off for pitching satellite too much. I love his show, but it was getting old, his complaining. I don't guess I'll be getting a Sirius system anytime soon. GM's XM option sounds more and more attractive, however. Maybe I'll spring for it on my next vehicle. I think cable TV should be a "pay per view" situation. For example, you have your daily listings, so you can choose any channel at any time... you have a mote control that keeps a tally of what you watch, and that's how your bill is figured.
  12. Is the Dodge really mad? The Buick is a tad miffed, yes, but the Dodge, to me, looks kinda... skeletal. Emaciated. You know, when you see a photo of a person who has been starved for some ungodly reason, their brows are exaggerated because their eyes are sunken. I know, it's a horrible visual. Wait, maybe the Dodge is a Dr. Seuss character. Yes, I retract my "skeletal" comment and replace it with "Dr. Seuss". Verrry interesting. :AH-HA_wink:
  13. Biscayne... what a great name for a full-size Chevrolet that breezily dismisses the competition while confidently cruising down the interstate. Rear wheel drive and the best engine ever made... the smallblock. What could be more perfect? B)
  14. All the better to accidentally punt a Prius into the grass with. :metal:
  15. Talledega? Wait, that was used by Mercury I believe, on a Montego. "Grand Sport" was a limited edition Corvette, "Gran Sport" was Buick's sporty trim level/package. Sebring? Wait, that was used by Plymouth I believe, as a trim package on the Satellite. Now of course it's used on the very worthy Chrysler sedan and convertible. Didn't Chevy use "Indy" as a trim package on the Beretta for a while?
  16. I think it's an excellent idea to combine the G6 and the GTO on a RWD platform. It's what I've been hoping for, and posting about, for months. Ya gotta spread the platform out to more cars to make the hottest versions possible. They can't stand alone for long. Call the sedan and six cylinder coupe Tempest... forget about this J2000/6000/G6 crap. It doesn't work! EDIT: also, this worldwide run to "hardtop convertibles" sucks... a good, lined canvas top can be almost as quiet as a hardtop... with so much less complexity.
  17. This just in: because Toyota is so rich, they can afford to offer a really CHEAP version of their new economy car. It will be called the "Yaris Hilton". :)
  18. WMJ, I've never seen a Quadrasteer truck lifted like that. Although the rear bumper... filigree thingy is dumb, the rest of it is cool.
  19. Ew... ixnay on the man ooobsbay. :blink: :)
  20. (Jeez Nos, do I have to coach you every step of the way? Never use the words "ash" and "Fiero" in the same sentence when talking to Vipes!) :AH-HA_wink:
  21. It's a Chrysler product. Looks like a Plymouth... either it's a limited production aftermarket conversion, or an Aussie Ute.
  22. Jeez, it only has a four speed automatic? And it's a 2007 model? How cheap is that. I'd never buy one just for that reason. Maybe Toyota's going bankrupt, otherwise, why wouldn't they have at least a six speed auto?
  23. That '61 Impolla is a stunner, yo. I prefer a smooth rear bumper though, instead of the quad bumper guards. Hot!
  24. Speaking of hot dogs, I once saw a picture of a dachshund with paralysis in its hind legs. It got around because it had little wheels strapped to its tail end.
