I-195 between Bordentown to the shore.

These use automatic leveling air shocks. As the shocks get older, they develop slow leaks. The air compressor will pump them back up while the car is running (unless the leak is more than the pump can handle) but it over works the compressor and burns it out. They are cheap and easy to replace as far as shocks go. I did front shocks, rear shocks, rear springs on mine. I picked up a pair of Monroe SensaTrack air shocks for about $60 on Ebay for the rear, a pair of NOS A/C Delco for $16 a pair(!!) for the front, and a pair of rear springs for about $100 and then paid a guy down the street to put it all on. but... they're asking $1,500... I'm expecting to have to do that sort of stuff. edit: and I already have a passenger side mirror assembly.

Camino got 2 more of my pending suggestions "Rocket Power" - not really a branding per say, but still used in marketing materials.

that's what mine had years ago.

I'm trying to get Dominic to check it out for me on Thursday

Going to try a new game. How many Automotive Marketing Term/Names can we come up with that use the word Power in it? I'll start: Powerglide

This car, from the looks of the exterior, is exactly the car that started it all for me. Nearly identical to my first Toronado except this one has a sun roof. It popped up for sale on EBay today for $1500 less than 30 miles from my house. Of course, I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma this week!!! I'm trying to get in contact with the seller.

With regards to the fuel economy aspect, all cars get 0mpg while idling in traffic*. The Cruze gets its superior mileage on a gentle highway cruise. Knowing Route 1 traffic, your fuel economy will probably be about the same regardless of which car you get. *non-hybrids

I would totally rock that wagon.

I had a great time over the weekend. I spent three days relaxing up in the mountains and then work manages to undo all of it in 4 hours. I didn't want to get out of the car to go back into the office after lunch. I'm down in Tulsa this week (and was last week also).

And the XTS handle lights up.
