They sound incredible..the first time I heard one was probably my most memorable Ferrari sighting...a beautiful, sunny spring day in Milan, walking down the street in front of the La Scala opera house...gray F430 drives down the street, that magnificent exhaust note reverberating off ancient stone walls... La Dolce Vita. One of the high points of that vacation...

At lunch today, I saw a black XLR at the office next to mine, a black CTS-v, a dark blue Acadia, a flat purple '90s Dodge Ram, and a goregous white F430 Spyder..
-
Yes, the Eagle is the predecessor of such cars as the Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70... I thought it was neat that they had several bodystyles also--wagon, sedan, coupe, a couple different 2dr hatchbacks.
-
More practical... covered cupholders aren't as useful as open ones...(i.e. it's hard to open a covered/retractable one and insert a beverage container w/ one hand in one motion..)

True 'nuff...you smoke grass...

Love it. Love it. Love it.

A friend of mine has wanted a '69-72 GP since he was a kid... I think he's going to start looking for one in the next year or so, since his 40th birthday is coming up in '09. Interesting, since as far as I know, he's never owned an American car... (he currently has an '02 Maxima SE and a '91 Acura NSX). -
I'm listening to my usual news podcasts today at work (3 different BBC programs, CNN, NPR, Rick Steeves travel) and also the new Velvet Revolver CD 'Libertad' and Bryan Ferry's new CD 'Dylanesque'...
-
Great song.. I went and saw the Moodies in January..they are incredible in concert (even though they are all north of 60 now).
-
uhhhh..no. The QP's proportions are purely RWD...
-
SUVs/crossovers are the station wagons of today... and many of them are heavier than the wagons of the '70s. SUVs and crossovers are basically just a repackaging of the old station wagon concept but with taller bodies and more ground clearance.
-
The faux brushed aluminum trim on the radio, etc in the Caprice reminds me of a home stereo I had in the '80s...
-
My favorite of the '80s Caprices was the '86...had the restyled grille and taillights, but normal headlights (I didn't care for the composite lights). '86 was the last 2dr also, IIRC.
-
I've driven and ridden in a few...the only issue I've noticed is that the thick pillars + small side and rear windows (esp. on the Magnum) leads to poor outward visibility..
-
Very subtle changes..I wonder what the front fascia change looks like.. Not sure if I like the 3rd brakelight in the decklid...having it in the rear shelf is cleaner looking, IMHO.

Coming home from Europe almost a week early...
Robert Hall replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
Ah yeah... using freq. flyer tickets (domestically or abroad) is always a pain.... I've managed to get 4 'free' flights back and forth from the US to London in the past with FF tickets. -
Coming home from Europe almost a week early...
Robert Hall replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
Wow...6 segments. My last trip to Italy I came back in 3 segments. Milan to London, London to Phoenix, Phoenix to Denver. -
Wow..very clean. No diesel badging that I could see from the pics. I've always liked that style of Caprice..hopefully it doesn't end up as a lowrider or donk.
-
Speaking of Tundras, I saw one done up commerical style for the first time today..had a ladder rack over the bed w/ a few ladders, hardhat on the dash..
-
Yes, beautiful machines...they are a car that look even better in person than they do in pics, IMHO. There are a couple around here, incl. one in a goregous wine color w/ a cream interior. The QP is my favorite of the 'big dog' luxury sedans..
-
Zastava factory to assemble Opel Astras in Serbia
Robert Hall replied to Flybrian's topic in General Motors
Sounds like a good move for GM. -
Yes...a quality interior and Lexus badge would make the Prius way more desirable, IMHO...the vile gray plastic interior of the current model is a big turn off, IMHO.
-
Chinese-assembled and penned VW to be sold in US
Robert Hall replied to Flybrian's topic in Volkswagen
It is 20+ years old...the VW China Santana is based on the 2nd gen Passat, which was sold in the US in the '80s as the Quantum. -
The cars we saw on Vacation... UPDATE WITH 66 PHOTOS!
Robert Hall replied to gm4life's topic in Opinion
It does seem odd that one would take pics of all those regular, everyday cars.. I usually take one pic of my rental car when I'm on a trip, but that's it for the ordinary. -
Lexus should offer a version of the Prius...with different taillights, front end, Lexus interior trim and goodies, and the big L badges...now that would be hot.
