A tan '80 Dodge Aspen on side of the freeway this morning w/ a flat tire. A very clean triple brown '76 Caprice 4dr sedan w/ '80s style slotted mag wheels. This was a few weeks ago, but Camino's post triggered the memory-- a dark green w/ white stripes '70-73 Camaro w/ RS nose and L88 hood on the side of the road w/ the front tires on a two-wheel trailer. I wonder what happened to the truck or whatever that was pulling the trailer..the car was too nice to leave abandoned on the side of a busy freeway.

Saw a strange one...a young blonde woman driving a white w/ red interior '75/76 Caddy Coupe de Ville in decent shape, but without the hood. I think I saw her driving this car a few months ago, but with a hood then... Also saw two clean white w/ white top '81-91 Blazers..

The 'musician' w/ the red do-rag looks like Lil' Wayne w/o the tats.

Saw a silver new Regal pulling out of the Buick store and one on the lot (also silver) this morning, and a clean light blue '73-74 Nova.

That's what I figured. I'm multitasking..

It's funny, I've started noticing the banner ads occasionally, and today noticed ones for a Chevy dealer and another for a VW dealer. Yet the dealers were in the Oakland, CA area, though I'm in Chandler, AZ encubed. Must be the ip address or something.

Being on the GC platform means it's a pure SUV, not a car based CUV or a truck-based SUV. If the Durango were still on the Dakota platform, then it would be appropriate for the Ram brand.

'cause it's a family hauler, an SUV. Ram is for trucks.

Well, for many people marriage w/ 2.5 kids, a house in suburbia, and two Toyotas in the garage is the American Dream (with the ability to upgrade to a McMansion and 2 Lexuses later, of course). Toyota: Moving forward.

Yes, like 'News Feeder' or whomover was posting new articles a while back..

Saw a new Fiesta hatchback in green on the freeway yesterday, temporary plate. Saw a very clean '77 Malibu 2dr in pale yellow (I think it was a '77, had the stacked rectangular headlights). Also saw a very clean brown w/ tan top '78-79 Cutlass Supreme coupe. And a triple black mid '90s Eldorado ETC convertible.

Hmmm...Bentonville, AR. McMansion in the background. Bought w/ Wal-Mart money?

'show' works well as a way to pronounce SHO...on the other hand, it's hard to pronounce 'SVO' or 'SVT' as a word... How about the Toyota trucks with the "TRD" decals? I pronounce that 'turd'...

20 years ago I remember people calling it 'show'...

Ya, been freakin humid here lately.. the last couple days the high was under 100, but sticky.

Wow..almost 5 years since the Big Crash. Time flies. Anyway, welcome back, lakefire.

I like the tube grille Olds used those years...a bit of an homage to the '66.

Saw a really clean '80 or so Caddy Coupe de Ville when I went out at lunch..no vinyl top, pale yellow, blackwall tires on stock hubcaps.

Understandable... so as far as wanting to go w/ a vintage radio, is for the appearance or do you have a bunch of 8-tracks or cassettes you want to listen to? I still have the original AM/FM/cassette unit from my '87 Mustang GT but replaced it w/ a Sony AM/FM/CD player and updated speakers back in '99.

Saw a black Seat Ibiza on the freeway this morning. Didn't realize Seat sold cars in Mexico.

Interesting exhaust noise...there was some sort of wierd creaking noise right before the end of the video. And that garage looks really narrow and tiny!

A sporty, uniquely styled 3dr version of the Spark or Aveo could give Chevy something interesting...

Cold front here...high is supposed to be under 100 w/ humidity today. Overcast, and some strange liquid came from the sky (had to use 'windshield wipers' for the first time since April) The desert is a strange place.

The disguise makes the rear end look like a Mustang. The roof shape is pretty clear, though.
