Holy $#it, I felt a bit like a redneck scumbag admiting the Roadmaster had gone as long as it has, but 10,000 on a modern, almost new car? So much for protecting your investment.

Vertical Vs are where its at! The 1930s emblems are gorgeous but I've often said IF I ever get a tatoo it will be a combo of the '30s narrow angle V emblem and the vertical wings in the style of the '70/'80s tail light decor. Dude, have you LOOKED at my Avatar like ...ever?

Good. Time for 'Mericans to stop being such clutch-phobic pu$$ys.

While I commend your Yankee ingenuity and I can really appreciate getting MAXIMUM bang/$, your obsession with disposable appliance cars borders almost on what can be described as dangerously insane. You're like the captain of a barnacle covered fishing boat with a '66 Chrysler 4-cylinder motor going down with the ship on principle alone, and with a life preserver, working radio & lifeboat aboard. It's called "you can't get blood out of a rock"

I KNEW you were a freekin' vampire!!! Only blood sucking, nocturnal, centuries old walking dead make fun of hardtop obsessive, Toyota hating Slovakians. All stupidity aside I LOVE garlic.

My poor RoadMOnster has about 6,000 miles on the generic lubricant in its oil pan. Not because it's driven gently, or only on clean days, or mostly highway miles.... It's called "I'm broke & busy & the 350 will survive another 300mi till next week"

I hate Honda, but this is to be commended.

Did you know that to make that Bentley a hardtop it costs $275,000 in R&D, parts & tooling PER CAR!? Seriously if it was a 2dr sedan it would be priced to compete with the Toyota Camry-Solara.

Freeballin' ...kiddin. MOstly because there's too much genitalia chafing. If I could freeball with control and some amount of suport Id do it. Remember in Billy Madison when the kid at the triathalon is like: "dude I totally just saw that guys balls!" That would be a great product to pair up to the "Bro" .... I mean "Manzire".

Local mom-pop owned hi-tech firm "sponsors" an SCCA-raced 1990s Porsche 911. The other day it was on a trailer behind a Cummins Ram, sitting in the parking lot & it looked as if it took a 40 foot plunge off a cliff... & hit seven trees on the way down. Rollcage kept the passanger compartment safe tough.

I love this concept, although I see Blathy's point about the Dodge Magnum-esque profile. As far as the LED CHiMSL, I like them but think they should be more subtle and they should be incorporated into the boot as the V base for the Cadillac emblem, never did like the crests, the V-logos are where it's at.... sexy & classy.

1980s Z-cars are cool and I'd buy a cheap one but compared to the early original 1970s 240Zs they are actually quite ugly and disproportioned. Noting says "cheesier than a 1978 two door Ford Granada with a carriage top" than a late 1970s or early 1980s 2+2 Z-car. Although I never was successfull I always wanted to score these rims for my Maxi-pads. Oh-well. My Datsun experience is probably over, unless a ridiculous cheap one comes along I'm buying GM intermediates for my "super-MPG-beaters" from now on, I wish I still had my '62 Buick with its thunder-down-under fireball six.

D.F. Remeber when everyone (okay, so only 87% of this forum) told you to buy a newer Toyo-Gizm (Toyota-GEO-Prizm) & send that 140K mile rear end special to automotive heaven? Instead you spent more money on repairing it than I paid for a running , driving, reliable & fuel efficient 1962 Buick Special. End result, you got some horrible 'body work' done to it by some guy that used to be a janitor at Macco and SURPRIZE! your trunk now leaks, you still have no paint there and youur driver's tail light sits in 38 lbs. of bondo. Which is pourous BTW. IF I decided to keep that car I would have at least chained it to a tree and did BETTER with a 800 lbs. rated chain. Seriously. The only car I have EVER considered doing a strut tower fix to was a sparkplug-less Mercedes Benz I ALMOST bought about a year before I bought Julie's 240. The car was being sold for $500 o.b.o. I offered $375 & walked away when the guy said $450 was ROCK BOTTOM. A car that has a rotted strut tower SHOULD HAVE BEEN in a junkyard months ago. I once got a pretty solid 1993 Escort 4dr hatchback for FREE from a local car dealer, it had rotted rear strut towers but otherwise it was much more roadworthy than the Shadow. Here's what I did with it: Not that I would recomend demolition Derbying your Shadow, the unibody is a bit too squishy for that. :AH-HA_wink: Yup... same car, xcept it's been aged like a fine wine over the winter.

Sounds like you're looking at a $450 Saturn. That's what.

Fly is alive? And the Datsun is an auto? What a letdown.

That's a LOT of $ for whats a high miliage car. Personally I'd get my $300 for it at Hollands and use the $2500 all those repairs will cost you to instead buy a nice clean car of your choice. An equivenant 80s/90s Shadow with a 100-point restoration will cost you about $1200, for $2500 you can have a turbo-Mopar with Shelby's signiature on the dash in sivlver sharpie. SP's turbo-daytona got over 30mpg on averae.

Ehh... don;t get me started. My dad is in Slovakia right now handling the legalities of my grandmother's will... it's been almost a year & he's just now tying up all the loose ends, had to wait for the lawyers. So we go out with Julie's dad to Cracker Barrel. Met up there at 10am, it's freekin pandemonium. Finally get called in to get seated at 11:45... it's almost noon by the time we get our drinks and at about 1/4 past we place our order... 20 min. later due to the thunderstorm the power goes out. Half an hour later the power is still out and we're DONE waiting. All we hae eaten is one cold biscuit each. We move on to IHOP, half the people from C.B. beat us there, so we finally went to Deli King, which is prob. what we SHOULD have done to begin with. And then the erst of the day was all donwhill... Sofia DID get me a cool car book, w/ Julie's help of course.

This will put the hertz on those green & gold Rustangs.

Fellow FWD-G-body member.... you got special treatment.

Seriously, can't you just picture the first vid. being BV? I mean c'mon, there's a dark colored Grand Am 2dr next to the red 4dr!

I can't get enough of these kind of videos. A high speed car crash is the most intense adrenaline you'll ever feel in your life. I remember putting my ex's Mazda into a big fat metal lightpole in the rain, it was like in the damn movies. Slo-mo.

Oh, and check THIS out: Not exactly sure what all that stupidity is about.... either way a bunch of AWD/FWD cars get F%ed up while some one using a pinch of common sense navigates just fine in the icy & snowy incline in his BMW 5-series. (granted it could have been an x) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npTRXr4Sgxg

Swweet, think I can make 548 posts in one day?

Funny and kind of stupid at the same time:

How about ME? I'd like a V16 or B-59 themed member title PLEEZ.
