  1. I'm happy to see a return of chrome intermingling with black trim on SS models. To me, it's classier than the monochrome look.
  2. You've seen it too, GM1? I mentioned about the car carrier pic the "Name Those Cars!" thread here in the Trivia section. :)
  3. We got two new Grand Vitaras in. I wasn't all that impressed. They seem like rebodied versions of the old model with sharper lines. And the fender-mounted mirrors must have fallen off too.
  4. Aww... he's a cute little guy. Hearty Congratulations, GMTruckGuy!
  5. When has an Impala ever been truly exciting? Maybe in '58 when it was a new, sporty trim level on the basic workaday Bel Air, but even through the 60's, if you look at its contemporaries, and on through the bitter end, and on to its revival in '94 with the subtle sporty trim, it was never supposed to be exciting, it was supposed to be handsome and competent while going about its purpose. The '06 Impala is fine, and right in line with its ancestors... except for the FWD chassis, of course.
  6. Happy B-day, Turbo. It also would have been my late, great beloved grandfather's 100th birthday on the 14th.
  7. I guess I'm the only one who noticed the excellent use of double entendre in the title of this thread. I suddenly have the urge to ride a Harley. :o ;)
  8. Without reading the article, I'd guess it was made to Hitler's specifications as a "People's Car" candidate. I'd further venture to say that Porsche's Volkswagen won that competition, and now my mind is blown to think how automotive history could have been changed at that moment in time.
  9. WHERE IN THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN, CREMAZIE, YOU LITTLE HOTTIE? :)
  10. I'd run a CarFax report on that VIN.

    That was at a farm house my mom and her 3rd husband rented for a while. Unfortunately, the house and all the outbuildings are no more. They've been bulldozed. My Matchboxes have prolly been plowed under several times since then, the whole place is just fields now.

    Back to school

    That's so sly that Nick uses the spelling "ghey". That will really throw off the homos! Even though I graduated a little while back, I still feel the pull of change come fall.
  13. You know what they say, "you puke, you lose". That old chestnut holds true most of the time.
  14. I lost control on a Honda XR75 on a very steep hill near the back of our farm. I was 9 years old, and the bike fell over to the left, then the right, then the left, then the right as I was going up that hill. I was too dumb to let go of the throttle. It was like I was frozen. Banged my knees up pretty bad. And I never got on a motorcycle again. 3 and 4 wheeled ATVs became my fun vehicle of choice after that.

    LMFAO!

    Gives a bad name to all guys who like to carry red purse thingys. Chief, why aren't you offended? :P
  16. Awww..... ;)
  17. "The Tom Cruise", is that a weekly event in San Fran? There is something incredibly sexy and masculine about that motorcycle though. Grrrrrr....

    That's a fine looking A-body. I'm jealous. :)

    Toy Cars

    Wow, I just remembered, I had a battery-powered split window Corvette I could ride in when I was like 3... I was a HUGE Matchbox kid. I was 14 years old the very last time I played with them. There was a flood in Matchbox Town that day (a couple of five gallon buckets of water spilled through the little village, washing everything away in its path!) I left them there, under an old dirt-floor shed in disarray.
  21. "Partner"? Oh, you guys are in business together? Heeeyy, aren't you two standing a little close together? :huh:
  22. Now, Fly, you know you love him like the rest of us do. Why be so coy? ;)
  23. Yup, I was only 4, and my favorite toy was a rubber 1953 Plymouth Belvedere station wagon.
  24. Can it help you pick up chicks?
  25. Imala? Is that a new fullsize family sedan from China? I dyed my hair. You like? HOLD THE PHONE! Is this Sixty8? I'd recognize that spelling anywhere!
