    Don't know what the dimensions of the new car are, but I fit in the original NSX just fine (6'0") w/ the seat all the way back... the ergonomics of the original were great, could actually see out of it in all directions, which is quite a feat for a mid-engined car..

    Interesting..wonder if they are worried about the XTS also...

    '67... Odd to see a Formula w/ hubcaps and whitewalls..maybe a pre-production car?

    Sweet...always liked the curved rear quarter shape of the Riv of that generation...though the Eldo is my favorite of the '79-85 E-bodies. In a world of gray and beige interiors, I love the red interior...I miss all-red interiors, all-blue interiors, all-green interiors, etc...

    Was in traffic this morning behind a homemade '77-79 Lincoln Mk V convertible...seemed a bit cold to drive around topless (46 degrees at 7am).

    The roof on the green thingy in the illustration appears to be from a current production model..sure looks familiar

    I like the unique roofline and rear end on the '68s...would look better w/o the skirts, though. My favorite GPs are probably the angular and sharp-edged '71-72s.

    Was 80 here today...love the cool winter weather. Saw a white Volt at Starbucks this morning..the first one I've seen in the wild (saw a couple at a dealer several months ago and a wrecked one on a rollback truck back in August)...

    Looks like maybe from the teens or twenties? Could be anything..there were hundreds are now-obscure car marques back then.

    How about this pic from the old Brooklands track..

    Something about the speed of the car and the speed of the film in that era, maybe? I love how they always seem to lean in old photos with speed... 1911 Indy 500 winner Marmon Wasp: Here's a pic I took of that car this past May at the 2011 Indy 500:

    Last night, went to the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra for their New Year's Eve performance...so I've been listening to a lot of Strauss waltzes and such today..in a classical kind of mood, I guess...

    Didn't know they used the 'Hurst/Olds' designation then..was this a dealer special or something? Those hood scoops look awful.

    Was 77 and sunny here today, so for winter sightings on my walk around the 'hood earlier I saw a clean '70s era silver blue Merc 450 SL, a black Audi A5 convertible, and a gorgeous dark red '11-12 Camaro SS convertible, all with tops down...

    Some great pics there...that '67 Galaxie photo is quite intriguing..the lighting reminds me of a scene from a stalker movie..something ominous about it.

    Not sure of the exact number, but it was widely considered as one of the best handling cars of the '90s..
  18. Robert Hall
    Lots of interesting cars...but $66k for a Chevelle w/ no front bumper and aftermarket wheels???
  19. Robert Hall
    That's what it looks like..that '75 is a sharp car.

    0-60 is but one dimension to performance....400hp is plenty enough if the balance is close to 50/50 and the weight under 3000lbs.
  21. Robert Hall
    Correct, but only if concentrating on using the nameplate as a qualifier. Pontiac also had the Grand Am ('73-75), and the LeMans GT ('73-75, 76-77), both variably available with 400 manuals or 455s. Chevy also had the Laguna S-3, 454 CI in '75, and 400 CI in '76. Olds certainly was not alone. Yes, there were those..I was thinking in terms of consistent use of the traditional designations--SS,GTO,442,GS. Interesting about that Le Mans GT..don't think I've ever seen one, barely heard of them.
  22. Robert Hall
    I wonder who is going to end up w the brand name.
  23. Robert Hall
    Oops. Must have been built on a Holiday Eve.
  24. Robert Hall
    So even in Europe BMW drivers live up to the stereotype.
  25. Robert Hall
    What's up w/ the rusting fuel fillers? General cheap-assery on parts sourcing?
