    I've seen the sticker on the front license plate in Oregon IIRC... I remember Ohio used to have windshield stickers (lower left corner). I've only had rear plate stickers in Colorado and Arizona.

    Whilst slogging along in traffic tonight I saw a black BRZ and a dark gray FRS a couple cars apart on the freeway...uncommon sightings, but what made it interesting is both drivers were....women. Nice to see women driving sportscars instead of the stereotypical generic CUV or FWD appliance-grade sedan..

    Those were definitely distinctive....along w/ the Olds 442 fastback of the same era. I can't recall the last time I saw one of these..seems like years or decades..

    Saw a yellow & white HUMMER H3T w/ a white bed cap...maybe the first one I've actually seen driving on the street (saw a wrecked on a flatbed last week and a bunch of a car hauler in '08/09)...

    That '65 Dodge convertible is sweet...like the new Camaro also.

    lol..

    Nice car..good luck with it...don't know if the automatic has any issues, but a friend had an '08 with a manual and had to have the transmission replaced under warranty at 25k and at 40k when he sold it was starting to fail again..

    No idea..depends on the individual and their budget...16/18 is decent for me, as that is what I've been used to for ages....
  9. Robert Hall
    Agreed on both...I'd love to have power folding mirrors (some higher end cars have 'em), and I miss the orange taillight segments, always looked good on cars that had them in the Big 80s, IMO.

    Whilst traversing the ASU campus this afternoon, I saw a white '13/14 Mustang GT CS convertible w/ a Michigan mfgr plate, with a variety of strange looking objects (sensors and telemetry, maybe?) on the decklid and left rear quarter panel...guy in the passenger seat using a laptop...

    Not for youth, but for adults that like coupes...this could be Volvo's A5. Better than another damn CUV. Volvo already had their youth model w/ the C30 hatchback.

    I like it..a very clean coupe design..would be nice to see a Volvo coupe again. Some neat detailing, like the taillights.

    My work laptop has a sunset at Huntington Beach photo and my home laptop has a Colorado wilderness photo, both to distract me from the vile Arizona summer reality

    Saw a clean early '90s Caddy Allante in a teal which was a very popular color across many car makers in the early to mid '90s. Also saw a wrecked white Hummer H3T on a flatbed, that's first H3T I've seen IIRC since I saw a carhauler full of them when they first came out a few years ago ('08?)
  15. Robert Hall
    Sweet...didn't they do a similar concept like this back around the time of the G8? Would be nice to see GM make more coupes...but the market just isn't there, it seems.

    Funny to see a Portuguese flag there as we haven't seen Oldsmobile for sale here ever since my dad was young (he was born 1943) GM was in a delusional phase in the '80s...they thought by painting the trim black on the mediocre FWD A-bodies made them European...

    The wheel and dash of the Impala just seems too busy to me. Not a very interesting design.
  18. Robert Hall
    It's good so far..up into the Chrysler era now. The chapters on Phil Caldwell and Red Poling at Ford were pretty funny..
  19. Robert Hall
    Probably best to kill it with fire or go straight to the crusher..what a pile.

    Historically, Jaguar's engines were straight 6s...the V12s were low volume and the V8 is a relatively recent development. Alas, they don't have straight 6s anymore, so they've already lost their iconic engine and seem to be doing ok.

    In fairness to other long cars out there, the DTS has an unusually large turning radius for its size. I've noticed that..the parking spaces are also narrow, narrower than the regular uncovered ones in the lot and the area I'm backing out into is rather narrow--a row of covered parking along the back of the lot with the back of an office building across from the spaces, barely 2 lanes between the parking row and the building.

    Cool..I sat in one of these at Barrett-Jackson back in January and was surprised at how nice it was inside, considering how tiny it is..seems like GM did a quality job on it.

    Drugs, I guess..or they were 'inspired' by the crap in the Deathrace movies...

    It's been modified a bit, a fixer-upper.. http://jalopnik.com/for-6-999-this-is-why-we-can-t-have-nice-things-1177320209?utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_facebook&utm_source=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

    Speaking of size, 207" long and 74.5" wide definitely seems huge compared to my relatively small Jeep at my office's new reserved covered parking spots..esp. with pillars in every space they feel very narrow, and backing out it is a 2-3 point turn (been driving the DTS quite a bit lately).
