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.

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.

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.

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.

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'..

True enough... it's a scary place to the uninitiated, no doubt.

Cool...I love old British cars... back in Ohio, near my Mom's place is a white '60s Cortina...it's been sitting outside a garage in this small Ohio town for at least 15 years...would love to have the time and place to tinker with it.

Hmm...never heard of that. Since I can't see my pooper, I don't know what color it is. I have taken care of the insides, though, with Colon Blow <tm> Colon Blow

One would think so..the car isn't competitive or remotely up to date now, I can't imagine how dated it will seem if unchanged 5 years from now..

I saw a sharp gold w/ black top '72 Ninety-Eight 4dr ht on Hwy 1 in the Florida Keys a week ago Sunday. Neat to see those old yachts being driven.

Also saw a strange early '80s Caddy Coupe de Ville 'El Camino'. I don't know if it was a modified flower car or a custom, but I just caught a quick glimpse of it in traffic.

5 more model years of the W? Same old, same old? 4spd automatic? I guess GM has a long term contract w/ Avis to provide 'em...

My favorite Eldos are the '67-70s, but I like the mid '70s convertibles for their outrageousness, their aircraft-carrier dimensions...last of the truly huge land yachts.

I saw the 'stealth' Century again today..I've seen this car every day over the last week, it's a late '90s Century painted flat black all over---wheels, grille, chrome trim, etc. Reminds me of an OCP Taurus from Robocop.

Of course, every generation has it's tacky accessories. The big thing when I was young was the tinted headlight covers, bras, and huge windshield banners with the make or model on it. I never got into that crap, though..

Ya...in college I drank mass-market beer, but in grad school I discovered European beers, started drinking Belgian and German beers..and when I moved to Colorado, discovered microbrews, something that Co is known for. I avoid the mass-market stuff whenever possible. Though I do like a lot of Mexican beers, great for summer.

I'm curious what the US Buick model line will look like in a few years...maybe a SWB Epsilon II to replace the LaCrosse and a LWB Epsilon II model to replace the Lucerne, and the Enclave.. (assuming that Epsy Dos replaces the Epsilon, W, and G platforms, unless GM is developing a new larger FWD platform, which I doubt. Or how about using Lambda to design large crossover sedans? ).

I definitely don't like the concrete-hard dash or door panels so many cars have today..if they spent a few more $$ for softer interior plastics, it would be a big improvement. Hardtops are nice to look at and fun, but in reality, with air conditioning, how often do most drivers really drive around with all the windows down? Not to mention a HT Camaro would weigh as much as the convertible, and the coupe as it is is no lightweight...

I wonder if the US will get a Buick Delta II, i.e. a Cruze or Astra variant.

Yes, I can understand that... the '50s through early/mid '70s were their great era, at least as far as products go, IMHO.

I usually get a regular Fatburger w/ cheese and bacon, skinny fries, and a strawberry shake. They do basic burgers (no Red Robin fancy stuff) quite well, IMHO. Tasty. Interesting about the hot dogs... I'm not much of a hot dog fan, though I like the Hebrew National ones at the ballpark when I go to a baseball game.

When I lived in Florida in the '80s, there was one of these, same color combo, very rusty...the body mounts to the frame must have been rusted out, because the body sat maybe 10 degrees or so off of straight..so it looked very wierd going down the road.

And of course the Grand Cherokee and Cherokee, which were hits. They convinced me to buy a Jeep, and I've been very happy with my '00 GC.

Such is life...compromise is everywhere. Nothing is pure or completely focused.
