Cadillac #8: 1970 Sedan DeVille
I've become a master of photography while driving... Damn car's sooooooo long I had to be two and a half lanes away to fit it in my Niko's lens... barely. That's the strap from the camera flapping in the breeeze... as I try not to sideswipe Toyotas or get sideswiped by a KW900 or PB 379. yes, I DID have to hold my arm 99% out the window and low down close to my rocker panel to take this shot.* * No Banana Boats were crashed in the making of this photograph.

Cadillac #8: 1970 Sedan DeVille
Sorry for the delay Bro. You know all the insanity I'm going through, pregnant wife, moving AGAIN and three cars that all ask for my time & $. I will say I'm glad I talked you into this one. You've gotten disgustingly picky. I have never seen a person turn their nose up at so many gorgeous classics. I guess growing up with your old man will do that to you. Still, I can't believe you had to ask me weather I think it was a good deal at $600. Jeez.... I donno, a 95% rock solid '70 Deville with B-pillar delete? Hmmmm.... Uhhh... I think the tight whips car club has spent less on $130,000 worth of classic cars than an average person spends on a base-model Toyota Avalon. Anyway, without further delay: Hardtops rule! XP has a theory about how '70 Cadillac hood ornaments must have used a higher quality enamel/paint than the average year since they hold up so well 9/10 times. The now familiar 472. The "baby" brother to the 500. I love this feature. Classic Cadillacs spoil you. Once you own a old Cadillac and you set the twilight sentinel & auto high-beam switches on you'll never need to turn the lights on/off or turn on your high beams, or dim them for oncoming traffic... you start to take it for granted. Why the heck do brand new cars thirty years later still not have this standard? And here she is at speed... more to come soon...

need groceries?
Oh... and all you point-and-shoot camera imbeciles, take note THAT guy knows how to take professional photos! Unlike 99% of people selling things on CL/ebay.

Why have 16 cylinders when you can have 32?

A quote for the day
Moltar: Oil/Petroleum is not exactly a fossil fuel. That's just one of the things we've been erroneously brainwashed about in the modern age. The planet actually regenerates much of it and like most things here on Mother earth the whole process is still 80% mystery 20% science. Granted there's a 99% chance we're using it faster than it is regenerating. But the consumption is going to peek soon... alt. fuel sources are just around the corner.

Project INVICTA
I don't evne own a creeper yet... nor a garage but I've def. fallen asleep inside/under a partially dissasembled car before at an ungodly hour of the night. Working on cars is the coolest. It's one of those things like sex, even when it sucks it's still pretty damn good compared to the rest of the day. ---- BTW: I nominate this the coolest thread of 2008.

A quote for the day
"Better too much than not enough" words to live by. Big Chicks, Big cars, Big Block V8s, Big red meat meals... I'm going to keep buying V8s and I6s: all this insanity will settle down eventually.

A new isolationism ?
Yup. We really ARE living in a modern version of Rome in like 300 A.D.

GM Officially Cancels Zeta Buick
Agreed. 12 mpg? What kind of crystal meth are you smoking exactly? My BOF, full size, RWD, 425 cubic inch (that's 7.0 liters) 4-bbl Rochester Carb breathing, live axle, TH400 auto 3-speed shifting 1977 Cadillac gets better than 12 mpg. How the heck do you figure a modern, FI-DOD, 3.5 V6 and 5.7-6.0 liter V8 powered car get anything close to that? I'm pretty sure big, oversized B-bodys blow those numbers out of the water and everything about those cars was from the early 1990s or older. You sound like a real ignorant dope with an axe to grind when you make dumb statements like that.

Real-World Pics of the new Challenger
Riiight. Meantime GM's focus groups are still looking at home depot paint swatches to determine the exact color of the Camaro's instrument cluster and radio trim surround. Hurry the F*** up GM.

Germany Proposes Ban on Oil Speculation
Certainly true but the ever-logical Germans are 100% right! This latest bull$#it IS all about hedge fund manipulation & other political/economic forces. I agree!

Detroit Iron & Chicks
Sorry guys, I must have spaced. Natrually it DOES belong only in the lounge. MORE.... I personally like fat chicks, I love the slightly chubby variety that are technically not even fat but IMHO perfect, but even real fatties can be quite cute. Thing is, hard to find a good chubby skirt posing with a Hot Rod. I love BIG cars and I love BIG broads.

Do you like your nuts shaved?
Either way I love them in my mouth. Can't get enough nuts in my mouth.

Detroit Iron & Chicks
Please feel free to post your own cool photos /artwork that combines hot people of the XX chromosome persuasion with antique cars, muscle cars, GM classics, pre-war steel and such, but be warned... read the title of the thread, I don't wanna see no import junk. A hot Asian chick is 100% cool, some of 'em are really HOT, but please, NO Toyota Supras, Honda CCVC Si hatches or even European or otherwise non-GM stuff like BMWs.

1985 Monte carlo platform question
Eric: Right you are... I was just painting the general picture. When I visited my homeland of Slovakia in 2001 I saw a gold/tan interior G-body Baby-Bonnie in the Tatra mountains. It was so cool to see that little thing dwarf all those old Trabants, Dacias, Wartburgs & Ladas from the same era.

G8 second fastest selling sedan in USA !!!
This as gas hits $140 a barrel / $4 a gallon. Funny thing is I've been nervously watching the G8 at our local dealer and there it sits on the pedestal, six+ weeks later, right where a GTO sat for several months in 2005.

A new isolationism ?
Funny you say that Camino... about three weeks ago a few of my co-workers at UPS jumped down my throat when I suggested that what our nation needs right now is a dose of isolationism and nationalism. F*** China, lett'em find their own jobs, or steal jobs from Europe. F*** the middle east, including Israel. Let Israel sink or swim on their own. F*** every country that accepts million$ from us but still hates us! F*** Foreign policy towards our enemies and fu**ing RED COMMIES! F*** Al Gore & Slick Billy who sold military secrets & our country's security for Chinese Cash. and... F*** this B.S. Republican/Democrat conspiracy to eliminate the middle class.
