  1. Yes, I think POPS is newer than 2006, but I'd have to double check that. And, how did you map it? I bought SEVERAL books, but the most-helpful was the "EZ Guide", which gives turn by turn directions and detailed maps to guide you on taking all the different alignments that you won't know are 66, unless you research and dig into it. Cort | 38.m.IL | pigValve + paceMaker + cowValve | 5 MCs + 1 Caprice Classic CHD.MCs.CC + RoadTrips.hobbies.RadioShows.us66 = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort * rNw-CC+event: http://rdwhl-caprice...rd=whatsgoingon * "But those days are gone" __ Anne Murray __ 'Time Don't Run Out On Me' years of library research, mapping websites (Google maps follows it pretty well), and other fellow rt66 fans, both online and off, that have shared their findings. I've been wanting to do a full non-stop Rt66 trip since i was in high school, so that shows you how long I've been trying to set this up. also is there one alignment that's more well-known than others or more recent, or whatever? or would a full trip constitute following several different alignments just to stay on the road? nothing is unnavigable in the right vehicle.
  2. I bet a 2.0T Ecotec would move it around quite nicely and still get decent (or relatively better) fuel economy.
  3. I think everyone understands the "your mileage may vary" part. But Honda did an ECM flash to the Civic as part of a TSB and fuel economy was further reduced by a significant amount.
  4. Typically, the person most active in getting the sales figures up other than myself has been BlackViper, though others have helped too.... but he hasn't been around much lately and has even been rumored to have crossed over to the dark side.
  5. Oh wow, that does end up being cheap
  6. Are there states that you can get away with a gas to diesel swap? I know you can't do it in PA
  7. The 80s B-body wagons
  8. Could totally rock that as a daily driver!
  9. Which model?
  10. How many cubic feet makes a gallon of CNG?
  11. I dont see this saving Honda
  12. Btw I'll have an Eco in a week too.
  13. Dial back the politics here please, we have a forum for that.
  14. If you can give me the name of your old account i can see if it is still in the system.
  15. Do you hear a jet engine noise under full throttle?
  16. It may have passed from general consciousness, but remind people of the name and they will most likely think of the 2 generations I'm talking about.
  17. I'm just going from personal experience on this one. Gassing up my Toronado always takes 10 minutes longer than it should because someone wants to chat about it....and often there once was a similar vintage Riviera in the family that is remembered fondly. Rivs are also the most common of this generation Ebody to show up at cruises. Eldogs never show.
  18. Stop thinking like a "car guy" for the moment and look at the bigger market picture. To 95% of the market, say the name "Riviera" and the car they think of is more likely to be related to my car or the 93-99 model than anything from the 60's. This isn't a value judgment of either car just a truth of the market. At the same time the name is one of the most positive thought of nameplates in the Buick stable. Put these two things together and you have a lot of positive feelings out there about 2 of the 3 final generations of Riviera. A non-car guy under the age of 60 isn't going to know a 60's Riviera from a Rambler, but they *will* recognize my era one.
  19. I have some bad news for you, the Regal/Insignia was designed by an American. If it doesn't look "Buick" enough for you, that is because it was originally intended to be sold as a Saturn in the US.
  20. We did a monthly run down of the sales numbers for each company, but as I've been on the road most of the last 4 months, I haven't had the chance to do it. It is rather labor intensive.
