Camino LS6

You got that right,Ted. That '55 pickup was beyond excellent... and was priced accordingly.

And that's a wrap! An amazing job everyone, well done! NOS: Try reposting that last one so I can include it. Z: Sorry that your second entry missed the deadline, but I can't wait to see it!

...and a '57 Studebaker Golden Hawk went for 99K. My dad had one new...

The "saving the environment" claim is dubious at best. Perhaps some of the newest ones might make that claim - but those that I've encountered leak horribly, thus negating that "upside". With that, I'm going to take out the trash and settle-in to the B-J auction.

Yeah, they've changed the size so that the old nozzles won't fit. But I will find a solution!

I never expected an argument, let alone a war when I posted this. I've already posted what it is I intend to do, and why I object to the situation as it is, so as long as everyone can see their way clear to respect that I'd just as soon drop it.

I don't know Ocn, I kind of like it. It would make a killer solid-body pickup.

Oh come on, DF! Dumbfounded? Really? You know better than that. As for the metal can, do you honestly think that I should spend an extra fifty bucks every time the government ruins something I need?

I didn't mention your generation at all in this thread. But this gas can issue is a clear example of a failure due to government involvement. A good and simple thing is no longer good nor simple. The outcome has no upside. Frankly, I'm floored that anyone would defend such a thing.

$60 plus is an absurd amount to spend on a gas can. That one is pretty self-explanatory.

Please.

I don't think I'd ever leave if it were that close to me... As it is, SPEED's coverage is a 40 hour cargasm for me.

They just unveiled it - looks stunning!

Cool.

A 2002 T/A Firehawk with 22 miles just sold for 33k.

Nope. At least not yet. Maybe just a rumor?

Supposed to be one in about 15 minutes.

Insulting, inaccurate, and unpleasant as usual, I see. You are simply wrong in your assertions.

Let's review, shall we? First, we have the humble gas can. It has a spout, a vent, and a cap to seal both. It is: - simple - reliable - inexpensive - durable -------enter government regulation--------- Results? Now the gas can is: - triple the price - more dangerous - less functional - exacerbates the very "problem" it was intended to solve. The true "bigger picture" here is how even simple things turn into utter fail once the government gets involved. Yes, the gas can issue is a real PITA for me, but it is just a microcosm of the larger world of government intervention screwing things up. I mean, if you can ruin the simple gas can, well...

It might be trivial to some, but not to those who use the cans on a regular basis.

I'd rather have the Camaro for a whole host of reasons.

The pic isn't showing for me, NOS.

Why exactly, do you feel the need to call this thread "ridiculous"?

I'm going to have to agree with FOG on that pickup - looks restorable to me. And that Caballero looks pretty clean - nice spot there.

Ah well, maybe next time then. But I don't buy for a minute the idea that you couldn't compete - I've seen enough of your work to know better!
