  1. No more Hondas for Albert?
  2. Glad to hear you are doing well... Speaking of accidents w/ Toyotas, found out this morning that my coworker got his restomodded '55 Chevy Bel Air ht out for the first time since his heart attack a few weeks ago...was a mile from home when a neighbor's kid (on a cell phone) ran a red light in a Camry and broadsided him...no injuries, but his Bel Air is pretty banged up.
  3. Saw a derelict 1st gen Taurus on the freeway last night...one headlight, hanging at angle...no front or rear bumpers, front fender and hood crumpled. AZ has no annual inspections, so rolling wrecks like this keep rolling along)
  4. I like the design of the current Malibu dash w/ the two pods...if this is how the '12 is going to look, well, it's very generic...
  5. circles
  6. The top guy has to take the blame for the failures. GM went bankrupt and lost a lot of market share during his reign. Per Wikipedia--"The latter part of Wagoner's tenure as CEO of General Motors found him under heavy criticism as the market valuation of GM went down by more than 90% and the company losing more than $82 billion USD. This led to his being named one of the worst CEOs of 2008."
  7. Drum brakes in 2011? Cheapskates...
  8. The diesel was a rare option on both the Continental and Mark VII in '84-85. There is a diesel '84 Continental on ebay right now..starting bid $1000.
  9. Those diesel Lincolns must be pretty rare...was a BMW engine, I think?
  10. Yeah...but sales have been down the last 3 years across the board...not 2005 numbers..
  11. Congrats!
  12. I've had friends and co-workers explain Toyota purchases as the 'safe' choice, the 'obvious' choice, and a 'no-brainer'..' no doubt word of mouth and Consumer Reports.
  13. Funny thing about Camry demographic....it seems to resonate w/ buyers of all ages...I know plenty of Camry buyers under 40, under 30, some under 25 (that bought new ones over the last decade).
  14. I believe so..as they have been for years...Generica's favorite cars..
  15. Yeah, Palm Springs is pretty nice..love the mid century modern architecture of many of the older homes...but for California, I'd love to live in coastal San Diego County or Orange County...Del Mar, Encinitas, San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano...love those areas... A buddy of mine that used to live in Denver recently moved from San Clemente up north to Arcata....looks very nice from the pics I've seen.
  16. There will probably be a new Camry by then and a new Accord soon after...the game keeps moving forward...
  17. For fall, I'm looking forward to the end of the triple digit highs...looks like it won't be until after Oct 1 until the highers are down to a balmy 99 or less consistently again...woo hoo...
  18. Same here..that concept certainly fit the bill for a '4dr Camaro'...
  19. XTS and Escalade. The Escalade is already ranging up into the $70ks... Besides, if they do a $130k V8 ZTS, there will probably will be a V6 version for $90-100k or so..
  20. Ugh...those angled-toward each other gauges that are appearing everywhere (not sure if it was Audi or Mercedes that started that dumb trend) and teh silly hat on top of the gauges like the LaCrosse...
  21. It will be interesting to see where the next S-class styling goes...the current one has grown on me...though I still like the 5000lb tanks of the '80s-'90s w/ the larger, upright grille...the grilles are too small on the current and previous gen S-class, IMO..
  22. Picked it up this afternoon. Shop couldn't find anything wrong. I think I'll run some fuel injector cleaner through it.
  23. Agreed on that, but it seems like they are committed to a FWD/AWD XTS on Epsy Dos to compete w/ the Lexus ES and Lincoln MKS.
