    Yeah...and even in the Rust Belt, their were some gems. My folks bought a couple in Ohio that way---in 1975, a silver blue '68 Cougar with 15k miles, mint, 302, for $2k. Around 1981, they bought a clean '69 Fairlane 4dr sedan, dark green, 390 4bbl, automatic, a/c, 25k miles, for about $2500.

    Yeah, the stock hubcaps look fine...a set of Chevy Rallys would look good also. Something period correct.

    Very nice car, though it has a bit of rust and the jack is rusty. For $59k, I'd put a nice down payment (10 or 20%) on a house.
  4. Robert Hall
    Yes, they may want to retroactively strike.

    Nice rust job...gives a patina of authenticity which you loose with a restoration. But seriously, lots of bondo, duct tape, and primer should cover it up fairly well.

    It's been going that way since the '80s, when GM switched to FWD generics, Chrysler went to FWD everything, and Ford came out w/ the Taurus...the mass market has moved to FWD, V6 automatic midsize generics. Most people are not car enthusiasts, they just want a reliable, affordable, transportation device to get from point A to point B. Such is life.

    Different people, different interests...not everyone has your tastes....something you can't seem to comprehend, but the world doesn't revolve around you.

    Not really... exterior dimensions don't measure the utility of a car, which is what the size classifications measure...interior volume is a practical measure, plus factor in the knee room, shoulder room, etc. Judging or categorizing a car simply by exterior dimensions is pointless.

    I hope they do a G8 and CTS...
  10. Robert Hall
    Yeah, I think they did a good job on both... they captured the 1:1 differences between the concept and production pretty accurately.
  11. Robert Hall
    I suspect HW will have a production version of the Camaro out by the end of the year or next year. They've done concept and production versions of the Challenger so far.

    Ah, too bad to hear..I used to frequent a Bennigans in Colorado that was close to where I worked a few years ago..
  13. Robert Hall
    Kinda cool...I recall reading about someone putting a modded Shelby turbo engine, etc. in a Caravan or Voyager..was quite fast, IIRC.

    It's easy enough in my Jeep (automatic, good cupholders), but near-impossible in my Mustang (stick shift, no cup holders). I remember once trying to drink a Mc Donalds coffee, eat a bacon/egg/cheese biscuit, drive and shift at the same time...messy.
  15. Robert Hall
    Yes, that seems like a really bad move...the G6 is the most distinctive of the NA Epsys, what with the coupe and convertible versions. To do blantant badge engineering smells of despiration and surrender.
  16. Robert Hall
    Ugh...sounds like they need to use a tongue condom.

    The best part of having a new car, though, is you don't have to deal with the old car headaches..the breakdowns, the constant repairs, etc. Plus, you get the modern features. 10 yr/100k mi is my limit for a daily driver.

    A bidet also would help with that, or the occasional pressure wash and wax.
  19. Robert Hall
    Amazing to see Honda get bad press...usually they walk on water, cure cancer, can do no wrong. But, also, IIRC, Clarkson on TG didn't like the current Civic Type R as much as the previous one.
  20. Robert Hall
    That would be cool... how about a clone of the Y-Job....one of my favorite concept cars. Or the Phantom Corsair, which would have made a great Batmobile, IMHO. Another concept I'd love to see a running version of was Bill Mitchell's Pontiac Phantom from the late '70s...was very pointy.
  21. Robert Hall
    I've seen one of those Montanas...and a Lobo, and a few Chevy Sonoras (aka Tahoe). And Ford Mondeos, Fiestas, a Ka, an '80s Dodge Magnum, a Pontiac G2, a VW Sprinter (strange hatchback), and a Chevrolet Chevy (Corsa). Lots of Mexico plated cars here in Mexizona.

    Just kidding about the Camry. What I'd really like to build (w/ my own money) would be a late model Town Car with the Shelby Mustang 500hp V8, tweaked suspension, etc. Basically, an AMG style Hot Rod Lincoln.
  23. Robert Hall
    How about a rat rod styled 1st gen Camry. Whitewall tires, red wheels w/ moon hubcaps, flat black paint over bubbling rust, flames, Moon eyes decals.
  24. Robert Hall
    That's what I'm thinking...I'll probably keep the Jeep forever, it only has 92k.... I'll need it when I'm back in Colorado.
  25. Robert Hall
    It worked pretty well..... I did get one of the free t-shirts. The name of the product reminded me of 'Colon Blast', which was used to amusing affect in the movie 'Van Wilder'..
