Camino LS6

That's odd, Camaro has mostly moved to the older and able crowd rather than the younger and irresponsible crowd. Must be a local phenomenon. As to the looks of a third gen, many would disagree. In fact, many fourth gen owners love the looks of the third gen over their own cars. The fourth gen is a much more capable car in stock form, but the looks aren't nearly as accesible to many as the third gens were. The sales figures tell that story quite well.

I think some of you folks are completely out of your minds.

#1 and #3 share no common architecture beyond the fact that both are "smallblock" V8s, even the firing orders are different. they share no common parts nor castings. I believe that the same is true of the 8.1 vs, the 454.

Man, I have to get to this event at least once! Maybe next year.

Your posts should be visible now. Would one of you try to post a reply in that thread? I want to make sure that there isn't another problem. Let me know if you do.

Not sure why, but those posts have been set to "invisible" but they are there. I'm trying to find out who did it and why. If I can't get an answer fairly soon, I'll see if I can reverse the setting as I can see no reason for it.

At minimum, there are three Chevy smallblock families. 1. all those with the 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 firing order 2. The LT5 3. The "LS" engines I'd make the same call on the big blocks: 1. the W engines 2. the 8.1 3. everything else

I agree with Haypops. Welcome to C&G, Longhair. Let us know how you like that red panel of yours. Pics would be nice too, if you have them.

Sorry BV, I couldn't resist. I'm not much for Fords, especially Rangers, but for me 4x4 truck > 4 door, FWD asian sedans.

I like it better than the Mazda. D&R

You made the right choice, that 'Burban won't disappoint you. They are great vehicles. Congrats!

Black center wheels look good with silver. nice.

Most common? Camry without a doubt, Close second? Women on cell phones in SUVs Other common troublemakers? Buick sedans (old folks) Subarus (especially wagons) Older asian sedans ( like to hang out in the fast lane and block traffic) Main gripes: Slow drivers in the fast lane Fools that think "safety in numbers" applies to driving (they all hang together like a rolling roadblock) Rolling through stop signs not signalling a turn HESITATION! Don't freakin' do this you bloody fool! Not using mirrors Blocking a parking lot entrance unnecessarily HIGH beams Leaving the turn signal on Getting into the left lane because you have to make a left 8 miles up the road and slowing down to do so as soon as you get there. inability to merge/ stopping on an on ramp reading texting applying makeup (and using that rearview mirror to do it while in traffic) talking on a cell phone (only really applies to the "can't walk and chew gum at the same time crowd) Intentionally slowing traffic (Prius drivers are most guilty) EDIT: How could i forget the worst of all? Pacing the car in the lane beside you! What are you, lonely or something?

Wow! this is a big question. I'll take something of a shot at Chevy, but there will no doubt be edits required. Original Chevy small block: 265,267,283,302,305(5.0),307,327,350 (5.7),400 Manufactured in many different configurations and with many different outputs from 1955 through 2000ish. LT1, LT4 smallblocks: basically the same as above but with enough differentiation to call them a separate family. circa 1990/91 through 1997 LT5 1990-1995 all on its own, a family of one. The "LS" series 4.8,5.3,5.7,6.0,6.2,7.0 1997- present Early Chevy big block: 348, 409 1958? - 1963? Mark IV big block: 366,396,402,427,454(7.4) 1964/5 - present? (366 truck engine) 8.1 liter truck engine 1999- present? first edit: Prodcution engines only, not crate versions.

What a pair of irresponsible,backward, idiots! I hope all of their children become abortion doctors and/or gay activists. Fundamentalist jackasses.

I think I've been there.

Some very good pictures should be posted of the day when the attendees get back to their computers.

When you get right down to it, the Corvette is an evolutionary animal. There is really no way to make such a revolutionary change in its fundamental layout while maintaining its identity. Such a car could be built, but it would not be a Corvette. GM should build a Cien instead, or a Banshee.

Thanks Balthazar, all of my work is dry-lay and I try to avoid using concrete unless I must.

'70 and '71 only (no '72 SS cars) and the emblem is on the bottom trim of the front fenders.

Sorry to hear this,YJ. I guarantee that they would have driven off if you hadn't been right there. Twits!

Thanks, I'll post more when it is actually finished - none of those stones on the landings are even set yet.

I'm building this one for my mom.

The LeSabre has left the building! Fly and co-pilot just rolled that big old beast down the driveway starting the next leg of the journey. Alexandria, Virginia prepare for arrival.

A few pics of where I've been sweating recently :AH-HA_wink: This one is just getting started.
