My little gray LX served me well for 6 years in NE Ohio until I moved to Ann Arbor, MI in '94 where it got totaled 2 weeks after I moved there for grad school. This is the only digital pic I seem to have of it, parked w/ my '87 GT on the farm around June 1990. Interesting article about the Iron Duke Camaro... https://jalopnik.com/chevrolets-first-four-cylinder-camaro-was-really-bad-1825128229

The Infiniti FX? I liked those...distinctive styling, not the usual SUV box.

Sheeple (the manipulated)

The truck is probably just an appliance to them...most drivers don't know what is under the hood---just a power unit for their appliance.

I'm pretty sure the only GM models sold by GM in Australia in the 80s were Holdens. Anything else would have been a one-off. And the Firebird was never available in RHD from the factory, so this was something custom. A 4 cyl w/ an automatic in something that big and heavy would have been miserable, even in the early 80s, I suspect---like 20 second 0-60 times... maybe it was an Aussie Knight Rider fan on a budget.

I had an ‘86 Mustang LX 2.3 in college, at least it had a manual (though only a 4spd). At least it was light enough to get out of its own way. My 5.0 GT was more fun to drive.

Tzus are nice. At some point, I'd like to have a West Highland White Terrier (Westie) again or an Australian Terrier again...have had them in the past, love their personalities and temperament. Westies are calmer than Aussies, the 3 Aussies we've had tended to be bipolar...sweet and loving one moment, bitey and ferocious the next.
-
Really odd someone would go to the trouble to import and convert to RHD a 4cyl Firebird...maybe a V8 Trans Am, Formula or GTA of that generation, but a 4cyl? Those things were 90-hp turds...
-
Yes! I was looking at pics of it last night, I like the styling inside and out... very sharp and unique. A bit of randomness..my father would have been 99 today.
-
Of the 'designer' breeds, I like Yommies (Yorkie-Pomeranian) , Yorkipoos (Yorkie-Poodle) and Morkies (Yorkie-Maltese). For some randomness, saw a TV ad for the GMC Hummer EV...I rarely see TV ads, but I was streaming a documentary on the Ark Royal and it had ads.

Nice 70-72 Vista Cruiser..those look like an available Olds wheel of that era, without the trim rings seen on this '70..
-
I liked my Bronco II. Served me well the 6 years I had it.
-
Probably too small to fit a Hellcat V8, though.
-
I really don't do off-roading, other than the occasional gravel road, so I don't need all the rock-crawly capability of a Wrangler or Bronco... I suspect w/ the big tires and removable roof the Bronco will be loud on-highway, like the Wrangler...would be a fun weekend toy. The GC is quieter, more of a daily driver all-weather luxo-cruiser which suits my taste.
-
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Broncos, Sport and 'large'. I don't think I'd trade my Jeep on one, but they look fun.

Re: dog pics.. Recent pics of Henry, Beardsley's bum, Raine, and Ginny...

The guy was driving an XT5...said he'd driven Cadillacs for 30 years.. Speaking of Subarus, there was a black Ascent parked behind me at the bank this morning, looking at the tail end in my rearview mirror, I thought it was a Ford CUV of some sort until I noticed the oval emblem wasn't a Ford blue oval...

I want to do more cross country trips eventually, but not in plague times. I would do one again but at a leisurely pace, staying in hotels along the way or in an RV. No more straight-through drives.

I remember seeing that Uranus Fudge Factory on Rt 44 in MO when I was driving from Phoenix to Cleveland in June '17. Got a chuckle out of the sign..

Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
There are others like that on Youtube... 'JR Garage' is one, a couple creepy-looking rich kid teenagers that buy, fix up, and sell broken exotics.. -
The STS sold on Saturday..just got back from going to the bank to get the title notarized...off to a new home with 139k miles...

I really want a Challenger w/ a V8 and a manual... and it would be a 2nd car, so gas mileage isn't an issue.
-
My Jeep has the 3.6 Pentastar V6...w/ the 8spd auto it's very smooth, and surprisingly good on gas, even in an AWD 5000lb SUV... I really want a Charger or Challenger eventually, though w/ the Hemi.
