Camino LS6

Since I started the thread, and am a diehard anti-FWD guy, maybe I should pick my top ten once you guys are done thrashing this out. Sound like a good idea?

Hudson: I guess the Plymouth Horizon TC3 fits your last category too. :AH-HA_wink: You are the first to mention ANY Japanese cars.

Well that is about as clear as mud. But I think I have it figured out, and this car is well above average in condition and below average in miles. So, given that and the asking prices on Autotrader, I think the starting price is just about right.

I'm certainly enjoying myself! :AH-HA_wink:

The Transmission is ready!

I conceed that a few of just about everything will hang around, so I guess I should clarify a bit. What will be saved/preserved on a regular basis? From Fly's and Oldsmoboi's lists I will definitely agree on a few: Reatta Allante The convertibles generally Taurus SHO Neon SRT TC (God only knows why people save this POS) Some of the Eldorados,Rivieras and just about any Toronado 1st gen Aurora

I can agree with this list and add these: The new Mini Certain convertibles Not so sure about the others listed so far.

:rotflmao:

Yes , I know that you all know I hate them. But, I also know not all of you do - so I have a question. What FWD cars (if any) do you think will be collected and preserved a decade or two down the road? Will any of these be someone's pride and joy at the local car show? If so, which ones? Even I can think of one...

Good Eye! Yes, its Chester County. That barn is where my toys live. :AH-HA_wink:

This thread has some dangerous potential.

The car is super clean.

When it impacts the industry (and our interests) you are going to get political commentary here. Oh, its 4% per year.

All of the automakers have been working their butts off for decades to build ever cleaner and more efficient cars and trucks. And, they know it is in their continued best interest to do so, its about time for the idiot politicians to attck OTHER sources of green house gasses and inefficient users of energy. They would also be better off spending their time doing the following: - Improving the flow of traffic on the nation's roads (idling wastes gobs of fuel) -creating a REAL mass transit system -Funding alternative fuel research and pilot projects. -Pushing for (and funding) infrastructure to distribute alternative fuels. - Offering incentives for the efficient use of energy in all homes, industries and businesses - Offering incentives to all businesses, individuals, and industries to come-up with creative solutions to our energy issues. I could go on forever with specific ideas yet these fools can only look at the familiar scapegoat, our own domestic auto industry when they craft these unrealistic piles of regulation. Idiots!

Don't lose faith yet, it depends on what the bozos in Washington decide to do. Far from a done deal.

Not even close to good enough.

Here,Here! Great post!

I see your point,Ocn, but the alternative is having nothing at all beyond Solstice. Pontiac is product-starved and can't wait for a GMNA Zeta.

Have to agree with Balthazar here. The pairs you posted are platform mates, but their differences run much deeper than a badge job.

That's one fine spot of prose there,Ocn.

1973: The beginning of the bad old days, I remember it all too well. Six years before I could drive, and cars go all to hell.

I doubt that, we have national attention deficit disorder. It will, however, return again, and again.

Grrrr. These jerks are really getting my Irish up!

I've just about had it with those SOBs in DC. They aren't even creative enough to foist their ill-considered regulations on a new target! The president and Congress are both so full of crap right now that I want them all out! The incompetent executive as well as those slobbering in anticipation of new power. Disgusting.

Pontiac is still suffering the effects of bad decisions made in the '80s.
