Guns 'n' Roses November Rain

I don't know why (maybe it's the headlamp design wth the parking lamps on top of the headlights) but that front end always reminds me of the Holden Statesman/Caprice... Nonsense...

I miss his posts... He seemed to separate the enthusiast side of things from the tough-business-decisions side of things pretty well: I like that!I wonder if he's tick-tock-ing too?

V8s are certainly not as mainstream as the 1960s, but I believe there's much more offer of V8 powered cars in the US relative to Europe and the rest of the World. That will change if gas prices don't fall. In order not to be accused of 'Tick-Tock-ing', I'm saying I don't see V8 SS Impalas and Super Lacrosses surviving long in a world of $100-a-barrel oil.Unfortunately, I believe only OEMs have the breakdown needed to analyse the issue in detail, but I'm pretty this discussion is ongoing in all 3 US OEMs right now: product planning needs to face oil at $100 or $120 a barrel. Right now.

I think that (except for FOG's post above), all of them missed evok's point about the V8 dying as a volume option. I think his point was the V8 becoming in the US what it is in Europe: a high-end, low volume alternative. Different things, yes. Where we differ is that I don't expect US makers subsidizing V8-engined cars (in the form of keeping MSRP unchanged and thus giving up part of their margins to compensate for the gas guzzler taxes the manufacturers pay to the IRS) much longer.

As for purple, I'm fine with it as long as it isn't Barney purple

I agree. Yellow is for me.I like the wheels and the fact that the rear spoiler is small. A huge wing would look like crap, IMO.

I thought you were having a little too much fun.Were you who posted pics of that red CTS a few days ago? If so, we want more: the car is gorgeous! :AH-HA_wink:

Oil at $90-$100 a barrel, gas guzzler taxes and V8s do not mix well together. Anyone remember "death of the V8"? If you do, please discuss for my viewing pleasure :AH-HA_wink:

Because we are better than they are. :AH-HA_wink:

ZR-1's status is LIVE

I really liked reading that!EDIT: Special thanks for reminding me of something I had almost forgotten about: having fun with/at work! :AH-HA_wink:

I'm so sorry to read about your accident!

Pontiac G-Spot = :rotflmao:

so it will be called insigniacool vid!

So you got pulled over already?

Other older pics or sketches (can't remeber exactly) reminded me of an Infiniti, but in these pictures it looks like the 5-Series and a Lexus had a one night stand while in Korea

:rotflmao:

That would never have worked in Europe, and I suspect it would never have worked anywhere else outside of North America.

And on a serious note, safe travels!
