Beautiful car...yellow w/ black interior works so well on many '60s GM cars, I think.
-
Dunno....air shocks, maybe? At least it has enough clearance for driveways and curbs..
-
That pickup is sweet!
-
I saw a really nice '57 stepside in lt blue the other day. There are a few old trucks I like, if I ever had one as a hobby vehicle, I think a '73-80 Chevy stepside would be my choice.
-
I like those, plus I've long been an NSX fan...I've hung out with the Colorado NSX club for road trips, track days (my best friend has a '91)...they are a friendly, fun bunch, all ages. An NSX, last generation Prelude, or previous-gen TL are probably the only Hondas I would seriously consider... As far as new models, I like the design and handling of the G37 coupe, but don't really care for the interior. I'd rather have a BMW 3 series coupe for about the same price.
-
Ya...though I've see alot of them across the brands (BCOP) in baby blue, bright red, and white. The darker colors seem less common.
-
Yes, or in my case, a 3lb Yorkie on my lap. Nice sunny lazy Saturday here in Phoenix. Got the windows open letting a breeze through, wearing shorts & a t-shirt with a cold Mexican beer now...
-
I like all of those, and love Japanese home electronics...Sony, Yamaha, Panasonic, Toshiba. But I still can't get excited about most Japanese cars.
-
Ya, I had an uncle that had a few..I remember a '71 Centurion and a '75 LeSabre that he had in the '70s when I was a kid..
-
I love that color... was it a Pontiac exclusive? Another green I like a lot was a silver green that Chevy used heavily around '69-70...seen a lot of Impalas and Camaros in that color...there was a goregous '69 RS Camaro conv. in that color my town when I was in high school. Another goregous green GM that I remember from long ago was a beautiful '71 Buick Centurion convertible, Buick mags, dark green, white & black interior, white top..

I love pineapple w/ ham (or pineapple w/ turkey ham on a kosher pizza) on a pizza occasionally.
-
Could be...I know that I've seen a couple white 1st gen models, never seen a white 2nd gen in Co/Az/Ca. I visited a buddy of mine in Boulder, Co in when I was back home in Oct, he had a white 1st gen Prius as a commuter car a few years ago that he replaced w/ a silver 2nd gen in '05. He and his wife have an eclectic threesome in their garage--- the silver 2nd gen, his wife's green Subie Outback wagon (stereotypical Boulder car), and his new midlife crisis toy--a black Challenger SRT8.

+1. It seemed to go down party lines pretty straight....my senator (Salazar D-CO) voted for it, the other senator (Allard R-CO) voted against it, as did both of the senators here (Kyl and McCain).
-
I've talked on the phone in the car for years, usually always put the phone on speakerphone and lay it on the console, or use my bluetooth earpiece. Now texting, reading email, or surfing the web on your phone while driving, would be pretty dangerous, IMHO. When driving from Denver to Phoenix a few months ago, I was on the phone (on speakerphone) for 3 hours straight with a couple of interruptions where the phone cut out and had to call back..
-
Yes, I've never owned a Pontiac, but I love the old ones (and some of the newer ones like the GTO and G8). Will probably rotate my sig pic of the SSJ to maybe a '60s Catalina or Bonneville. '60s-70s Pontiacs had so much character.
-
I'm thinking it is partially a Republican, conservative thing---the Red State Revenge for losing the election---where is the largest concentration of red states? The South (incl. Texas). As they like to say, 'The South Will Rise Again'. This is part of that, I believe.
-
This little rant about the South from a few years ago is still relevant today, IMHO.. rant
-
Driving in an ice storm may be the driving condition I fear the most (though driving in an ice storm w/ heavy fog would be worse). I will never forget the 7hrs of white knuckle driving I did on I-5/I-205 around Portland in Dec '05 in a white Grand Prix rental.
-
Pretty common in older neighborhoods and older towns in many places...don't see them in the newer burbs, but in older central Phoenix (and Denver) we have 'em.....during the summer monsoon storms, a power line in the alley behind my house went down, power was out for 5 hours (not fun when there's a storm and it's over 100 degrees in the middle of the night outside).

GM Studies Killing Saab, Saturn, Pontiac
Robert Hall replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in General Motors
Well, the Aura fits the same market niche that the Intrigue did...and the couple of Intrigues I've been in weren't particularly special inside, just typical '90s GM gray plastic everywhere.. -

The Aura to me seemed pretty much what a 2nd gen Intrigue would have been. -
My friend w/ colitis has had to have a colonoscopy every year since he was 20...my doctor wants me to have one before I'm 40, which is coming up soon.

Subaru wagon

Ya, but he's a TTB (Toyota True Believer)...after driving his 93 Corolla the last 15 years and 250K+ miles, he thinks they can do no wrong..and still holds a grudge against Detroit over his '87 LeSabre that started rusting after a couple of Cleveland winters (before he moved to Colorado).
-
A buddy of mine IMed me this morning (whom I've argued with about the importance of Detroit, the quality of the Big 3 cars, etc) and asked 'So now are you going to wake up and get a Toyota?'. Argggghhhh.... I ignored him.
