    The 500L seems to be their Mini Countryman competitor (5dr hatch).

    There are some elements of my youth I miss...tractors, Snapper riding mowers, Winnebagos.

    No different that in the software biz in jumping from a big, established company to a hot startup. Take some risk on something new for a potential big reward..

    General thoughts on ergonomics, interior room, outward visibility, cupholder design? Steering feel?

    This looks a lot like the 2010 my Dad had, but ours wasn't as rusty.. I was driving it when I was 12--30 years ago! Seems so long ago and far away.

    Probably expensive, given the distance. I'm only familiar w/ using taxis around here to get to and from the airport... Hmm...Scottsdale International Auto Museum..never heard of it..will have to check it out. I've been to the Penske Auto Museum in N. Scottsdale, pretty cool display of various Penske race cars from over the years.

    Cubie, tell me more about these Saturday cruise nights. No rental car, so walking, LRT and taxis will be the modes of transportation. I'm not 100% sure of the Saturday activities, but I know most of the day will be consumed with work-related stuff. However, if cruise nights start late and end late, I may have to come up with a good excuse to "leave" Usually starts around 4 on Saturday afternoons, goes till 9 or so....A few hundred cars show up--anything and everything--and in January during auction week it's probably over 1000... about 20 miles from downtown at the Rock N Roll McDonalds in Scottsdale. http://rockandrollcarshow.com/History.html It's really good...the big negative is the 2-3 hour waits most evenings. One chef (the owner). Was ranked best pizza in the country a few years ago.

    There a number of good restaurants downtown and near downtown, accessible depending on if you have a rental car. The light rail goes up Central Ave from downtown, plenty of good restaurants along the rail line, and going east the light rail goes to downtown Tempe, lots of restaurants around there. Saturday nights are great for the Pavillions cruise ins in Scottsdale. Alas, car auction week is still a couple months away..

    ...and I am lusting at the thought.... Regal is still a seriously sweet ride though.... It's one of GM's best looking cars currently, IMO....love the rear end design and roofline...looks so good in that brown..

    Only little over a year away...

    Came out of the grocery tonight and saw a dark blue BRZ in the lot..looked so sweet in the late afternoon light..

    Those JDs are neat...my Dad had a 1962 JD 2010 w/ wide front axle on the farm for 30+ years..used it w/ a brush hog for mowing and a snow plow for plowing the 3/4 mile driveway in the winter...

    Interesting ideas...hard to believe there could be sporty RWD Buicks again...
  15. Robert Hall
    If it wasn't for the China market, Buick would be as dead as Pontiac, Saturn, Oldsmobile, etc.

    I think the level of standard equipment that the typical buyer expects is much higher today than it was in the past. Stripped cars as were available 30-40 years ago wouldn't fly today...even in the small cheap segments (Spark, Sonic, Cruze, etc) cars tend to be pretty well equipped, even in base forms...

    They are both way too old to be a daily driver, IMO, but I'd go w/ the newer car, if the mechanicals are better shape (how does the mileage compare to the Camaro). I'd be more concerned about the electrical accessories on the '84, since the Camaro probably has a lot fewer and is simpler.

    Keep the tri-shield, bring back the red, white and blue and give the colors a jeweled appearance. Some shiny but tasteful bling could work.

    Saw a strangely customized '64-66 Chevy pickup...light green and white stock style paint, but lowered to an inch or so off the ground, big chrome multi-lug wheels in the front, dually rear fenders (on a fleetside) with huge rear tires and giant, deep rear wheels and a diesel rumble. Was scraping bottom on a curb cut..

    Stuffing It

    Enjoying the 4 day weekend. Didn't do any cooking, went to a local resort's restaurant for a delicious Thanksgiving buffet w/ family in town for the weekend. Went and saw 'Skyfall' yesterday (excellent) and went out for Italian. Mostly just chilling out catching up on reading and watching a bit of tv. Only shopping I've done was buying wiper blades today..

    Well; 1960. Whoever compiled the graphic apparently was unaware of a little thing called 'model year'. The Tri-Shield appears no where on any MY 1959 advertising or the cars themselves, I can assure you. Ah...do you have this emblem?
  22. Robert Hall
    Interesting..didn't know the tri-shield only goes back to 1959..
  23. Robert Hall
    Hmm...vinyl seats and no A/C---misery.
  24. Robert Hall
    As far as the Malibu and Impala, IMO GM goofed on the Epsilon II wheelbases...don't know why there are so short in both SWB and LWB versions compared to the platforms they replaced. I assume the short wheelbases and narrowness is partially due to Epsilon II being a global platform.
  25. Robert Hall
    LoL..it's not 1977...
