Camino LS6

This one is up for grabs too:

Can't argue with that.

There are quite a few things I could list, but for me, the top of the list has to be hanging out with friends and doing the music thing. Nothing makes me happier than when someone grabs a guitar or sits down at a piano and everyone sings the songs they know. Music has kept me alive many, many, times.

With a staff of three in a rented garage? J/K but things don't look so hot right now.

At Alice's Restaurant, of course! :AH-HA_wink:

Take a run at it, you two! Willingness to make it happen is 90% of getting the job done.

Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central Monday morning rail Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail. All along the southbound odyssey The train pulls out at Kankakee Rolls along past houses, farms and fields. Passin' trains that have no names, Freight yards full of old black men And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles. CHORUS: Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car. Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score. Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor. And the sons of pullman porters And the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel. Mothers with their babes asleep, Are rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. CHORUS Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee. Half way home, we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness Rolling down to the sea. And all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain't heard the news. The conductor sings his song again, The passengers will please refrain This train's got the disappearing railroad blues. Good night, America, how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Seems that this is on the list, and I really want it:

One car won't get the job done - but one family of cars could. G8 and variants would be a good starting point ( but they should have been here 5 years ago). A similar Alpha lineup would also be workable (preferably as a companion lineup, but also ok as a replacement). Add a new Solstice, and you have built the brand I'd remain loyal to.

Very difficult and expensive, and if you actually get it done you have a ton of restrictions about driving it. I'd more likely buy a wrecked G8 GXP and transplant the drivetrain into an old Camino instead.

No, not even close. I just hate sand, hot sun, and crowds. I prefer my rare escapes from the world to be peaceful and relaxing.

Thanks for the concern. I've been sick for the last few weeks and not online at all. As for this continued foolishness from GM management, nothing surprises me. They have been disappointing me for several decades now and I've learned to expect it. Should the ST be cancelled, I will likely stop caring very much and quit thinking about new cars anymore. It is entirely possible that I'll never buy another new vehicle from anyone, especially GM. Not grandstanding here, just telling it like it is. Without the ST, there will simply be no motivation for me to either believe in GM any longer nor to desire a new vehicle. I know what I like, I will only buy what I like, and If GM won't build it I'll just do it for myself. I will never buy any new car that I don't really like, that's just stupid. No FWD No sedans No asian cars No Buicks Not now. Not tomorrow. Not ever. There are decades worth of existing cars that appeal to me out there already - I can and will satisfy my car addiction that way.

Mountains, hands down.

I want them all!

A doomed strategy formulated by a failure mentality.

And it is much appreciated! Quite a few of the folks we always depended on to do various things no longer do them. That's not to complain, things change for people and they drift away - it's the nature of the beast. The challenge we now face is to get someone who has the time to fill some of those roles. I have been proposing quite a few new ideas in the Mod Forum and we are all discussing things, so I would ask everyone to be patient and hang in there. Meantime, post up if you have an idea or are in a position to help in some way - I, for one, am interested in everyone's thoughts about C&G's future. Feel free to PM me if you feel the need. I always respond.

Everyone on staff is painfully aware of our current situation. Have patience, we are working on a number of changes as quickly as we can. Fly devoted an insane amount of time into the site until he could no longer do so - for whatever reason. That left a huge hole in things that we have yet to stitch back together. In the meantime, it would be very helpful if those with the time would post any news that they come across.

To anyone on the other side of this issue, read this paragraph over and over until it sinks in. "The anti-car, anti-Detroit cabal alive in Washington and in certain corners of the media has seized the opportunity to bury Detroit and the domestic automobile industry once and for all, and in so doing have set into motion the final erosion of the American industrial fabric, sending a message to the world that this nation has not only lost its will to fight and is incapable of protecting one of its essential industries, it has willingly set a course for long-term weakness and vulnerability."

I really, really, want to kick some senatorial ass right now.

http://www.autoextremist.com/ December 12, 2008 It’s up to you Mr. President. By Peter M. De Lorenzo Detroit. The U.S. Senate late last night voted against passage of a bill to give an emergency bridge loan to the Detroit automakers – specifically GM and Chrysler - paving the way for the eventual collapse of the domestic automobile industry and sending this country’s already teetering financial situation to the brink of disaster. The inaction - a blatantly malicious display of placing political self-interests before the best interests of the nation – was orchestrated by Senators Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY), two men who are pushing “the Southern Corridor” – a network of transplant manufacturing facilities operated by some import car companies – as the new American auto industry, even though it means destroying the foundation of America’s manufacturing base and ruining the livelihoods of millions of people - including auto workers, dealers and suppliers - who depend on the domestic automobile industry for their livelihoods, not to mention their health care and pensions. Besides sending a clear message to Detroit - yet again - that this industry doesn’t matter, the Senators behind the failure to get the bill passed reinforced the notion that too much of the rest of the country, for the most part, refuses to understand the ramifications of what a collapse of the domestic automobile industry really means, and that the attitude of “it won’t affect me” and “whatever” are the new dual mantras of the American people. That we have become a Starbucks Nation of consumer zombies who have lost sight of the fact that this country’s ability to manufacture things is more important to the future of our country than the convenience of another coffee shop is appalling enough, but the fact that this country has become a patchwork quilt of warring factions hell-bent on destroying each other no matter what the cost to our fellow citizens is beyond reprehensible. Over the last three weeks I’ve watched as those miserable excuses for our “representatives” in Washington have spewed so much misinformation and flat-out lies aimed at Detroit and the domestic automobile industry that I’ve lost track in trying to tally all of it up, but suffice to say at this juncture it really doesn’t matter. What happened in Washington last night was one of the most egregious displays of selfish, narrow-minded thinking in the history of our nation. Facts were either misrepresented or ignored altogether and dire warnings were scoffed at, while our nation is in its most precarious financial state in seven decades. The bottom line is that hard-working people involved in an industry that has tentacles in every state and accounts for 1 out of every 10 American jobs are being punished today because of two self-righteous Senators who think their view of things should be the country’s view. That an industry that supported the American middle class for 100 years, that forged the Arsenal of Democracy during WWII, that has responded to every disaster and national crisis by giving endlessly of time, money, vehicles and resources, that an industry that makes up the majority of our nation’s manufacturing and research & development prowess – to the tune of $12 billion annually - has become expendable. The anti-car, anti-Detroit cabal alive in Washington and in certain corners of the media has seized the opportunity to bury Detroit and the domestic automobile industry once and for all, and in so doing have set into motion the final erosion of the American industrial fabric, sending a message to the world that this nation has not only lost its will to fight and is incapable of protecting one of its essential industries, it has willingly set a course for long-term weakness and vulnerability. Mr. President, countless American families are calling on you to keep this essential American industry going. We hope you see it to do the right thing. Thanks for listening.

You had it right the first time, those southern pirates smell blood - I just hope it turns out to be their own and not from the rest of us. Hypocritical bastards!

The miscreants.

The blame for the decline and fall of : The auto industry The manufacturing segment And, the nation itself Belongs entirely to Shelby, Corker, and their ilk who can't see the logic of loaning 34 billion over paying out 170 Billion at minimum with no return at all. That's the choice. New beginnings, or the end of everything we have known in the past. The new America will be a poorer, less important, and declining one - if we allow this to happen. Even Bush has more brains than these complete assholes that are trying to ruin us: he has finally given in and has announced his willingness to use TARP funds to save the Big 3. Those criminals in the Senate need to be exposed for what they are: traitors and shills for foreign industry.

I am guessing that you mean the white object? If so, that's my dog, Arkus. There is also A fence, a horse wearing a blue horse blanket, a mansion, and a driveway - all barely visible in the pic.

Couldn't disagree more, this configuration (RS nose 70-73) is my favorite of all Camaros through the years. Although I'd prefer an RS/SS 396 with a 4spd. :AH-HA_wink: This car is an amazing time capsule, but the debate on that site about whether or not to even wash it makes me nuts. The car is just too original for its own good, and would be difficult to enjoy properly if all you can do is look at it.
