Yesterday I saw a couple neat old modified Chevy trucks...a blue '71-72 stepside, and a bronze early '80s stepside w/ tube grille. Saw a tattered brown w/ brown top '74 Valiant today, and a lt blue late '70s Pinto wagon.

One thing I've noticed lately in blog postings and online articles is instead of 'click the link below' the strange phrase 'Hit the jump'. Sounds odd. Anyone else notice this becoming more common?

Hey, that's me, though I'm not granolafied!!
-
Interesting concepts, but how far are they from being production ready? 5 years? 10 years? This is just talk, nothing concrete like the Volt appears to be...

Ah, yeah..and they try to 'pawk the cah in Hahvad Yahd'... When I lived in Michigan (in A-squared), I knew some locals that pronounced car as if it were 'care', and they weren't youpers, but from the DEEtroit area... (being from Ohio, I pronounced it 'Duhtroit' but the locals I knew pronounced it with a long E).

I saw 'speeling' years ago in school... I had a teacher write that I needed 'check my speeling'... thought it was funny, kind of stuck w/ me.. I've used it on a few occasions..

Yes, the E21 had a long run--'75-83 (from '77 in the US), replaced the 2002, was available in 2dr form only. I vaguely remember reading Car & Driver and Road & Track road tests from then, they really liked it, IIRC. The 3-series pretty much had the compact RWD sports sedan market in the US to itself then. When I was a kid, seeing a BMW was a rarity....though by the mid '80s living in S. Florida they were all much more common.

For my $10k I'd put it as a down payment on a 335i hardtop convertible.. I'm still hoping the Camaro SS convertible will be out in a couple years..
-
Purely intentional, of course.
-
A spell checker wood help with the speeling, also.
-
A google turned up this one for sale for $9999.
-
I've seen a Ciera convertible in Florida years ago, bright red w/ white interior...and IIRC, there was one on TV in the mid '80s..maybe the woman in A-Team drove one or something.. I remember one.

107 and sunny here. As is every day. Will it ever end? This is September. I don't know how long I can stay in AZ. Another 6 months or so.
-
It will be interesting to see the volume in a couple of years... I've read a diesel is coming next year for the 3 and the 4 cyl versions of the 1 and 3 likely are coming also with the next 24 months...
-
84 LeSabre--25k miles! Even got the Rusty Jones goin' on. Wot a clean B-body.
-
Never tried it..I wonder if it like MS Flight Simulator but with trains. I've used Flight Simulator years ago...it was a lot of fun. I wonder if you can do anything out of the norm like derailments, hitting vehicles at crossings, etc..

I've read VW wants to develop and build in the US a cheaper midsize sedan for the US than the Passat...maybe they can take the Sebring and work it over in similar fashion to create a VW sedan with a wind name...
-
The thing that would freak me out would be trying to pass on a two lane road...sitting on the wrong side of the car, it would be hard to do w/o a spotter. I'm sure I could I figure out the shifting..at least the pedal arrangement isn't reversed also..
-
Apparently, it's the Kia 'VG'..FWD..there are 3 articles on this site, if you scroll down, the greenhouse of the disguised car in this thread is the same.. Kia VG articles on Car Blorgger
-
I doubt if they had anything to do with it..
-
I've seen a few RHD XJ Cherokees in Colorado.... they are pretty cool. Driving a RHD vehicle in the US seems like it would be challenging, though.

They still have LLVs around here in Phoenix.... in my 'hood in Denver they have Ford Windstars. In rural Ohio, my Mom's mail carrier drives a RHD '90s Subaru Legacy wagon..

With McCain, it will be all war, all the time, I think.... the Republicans need continuous war, to keep their masters (Halliburton and other military-industrial complex companies) profitable. Peace doesn't pay.
