    ‘67 was the first year for the 400.

    Beautiful ‘67 GTO. Would be a 400. I was the last-born in my family, and my sister is the middle child. We have both been the best behaved and successful, while our older brother has been a perpetual screwup since he was a teenager.

    Anyway, it's all a moot point now that GM is moving to EVs. It will be interesting to see what GM's product mix and market share will be like in 2030.

    Those were simple compared to what they are building today with the VVT, cylinder shut off, OHC V6s, etc. And from a different GM than what it is today. Anyway, I haven't heard about major issues w/ the 3.6..they seem to be putting it in a lot of vehicles, FWD and RWD..

    Those were simple engines from a simpler time...today's engines are more complex w / lots of electronics..a lot more failure points.

    ^ That would work for me also, as I have a black Jeep. But I'm definitely not the black sheep of my family...

    Spotted a very clean '74 Monte Carlo in a triple avocado green (a color that was very popular w/ mid 70s Chevys I think) and a pink chrome late model Mustang GT convertible (probably a wrap, looked like a Spectraflame Hot Wheels car).

    Wasn’t riding high in the back something people did in olden days, maybe to accommodate bigger tires? Like all the ‘lifted’ muscle cars in the 70s? I remember my brother put air shocks on his Firebird Formula 400 and GTO back then.

    Speaking of good things from Canada, I've been enjoying the comedy 'Schitt's Creek' lately....also in the past have enjoyed 'Corner Gas', 'Trailer Park Boys' and 'Red Green Show'.... of course besides William Shatner, Canada is also the birth place of great actors incl. Donald Sutherland and Christopher Plummer...and a lot of music I'm a fan of...from Rush, Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, Gordon Lightfoot, to Leonard Cohen and Mylene Farmer..

    Sounds like you waited too late to trade on the next one..

    Gammage Auditorium at ASU is a neat venue...been to a couple concerts there, and I worked out of an office on Mill Avenue just down the street for a couple of years.

    ^ looks like where George Jetson and his family resided.

    Odd neither car has a license plate...is that a EU style license plate bracket on the bumper of the Corsica with a 'Russia' decal?

    It hasn't been bad here in NE Ohio this summer...the humidity hasn't been bad at all, and have had only a handful of days over 90....being close to Lake Erie helps for me, breezier and lower humidity than further inland in Ohio. Looking forward to the rest of September and October..

    I remember visiting Miami some years ago in July and it was like 95 degrees w/ 95% humidity. No bueno. A friend from Denver now lives in Huntington Beach Ca said it was 111 there Saturday. He doesn’t have A/C but does have a pool. And Denver has had crazy weather the last few days...

    Mostly the front...not much rear overhang. By comparison, my '87 Mustang GT has a 100.5" wheelbase with overall length of 179.6"...(a 2020 Mustang has a 7 inch longer wheelbase and is about 9 inches longer overall).

    Interesting news about Nikola...claims of faking and misrepresentation... https://fortune.com/2020/09/10/nikola-motor-stock-hindenburg-research-allegations/

    Woke up to heavy fog this morning... Was overcast all day and dim.

    I have parallel parked my sister's Chevy Trax...167.2" overall length. Very easy to PP. I remember as a teenager learning to PP on the farm...my Dad set up poles in milk jugs filled w/ sand and I took the longest car he had then ('85 Lincoln Town Car) and practiced with it...serious blind spots w/ the tiny rear window and thick C-pillars, but super-light power steering. I did my driving test in his '84 Ford Escort diesel, much easier to PP.
  20. Robert Hall
    Yes, the ground clearance of an SUV makes it easier---just go up on the curb. The times I've parallel parked I usually end up way out from the curb. I remember some years ago what a pain it was parallel parking in downtown Portland in a rental Grand Prix--hard to see out of, and big overhangs, and too low to go up on the high curbs..
  21. Robert Hall
    I suppose self-parking could be useful if you do a lot of parallel parking. Parallel parking is stupid--I very rarely have to do it, prefer to park in lots or garages, or valet if available.

    cracked head (cylinder)

    Lucid has a reveal this evening of the production version of the Air. https://www.lucidmotors.com/

    Nikola and Tesla are two separate companies and brand names. Any correlation to a historical figure named 'Nikola Tesla' is coincidental, though likely intentional for marketing purposes.
  25. Robert Hall
    Nice to see Denver high in all those lists...probably the only place I've previously lived that I really miss moving away from.
