I want to have a FIT!!!!!!!!!

Dear Lord it looks as if a Russian Car, a vynil Hello Kitty purse & Barbie Corvette had an orgy and this resulted.

I'll bet almost anything it will look MORE ugly once the camo if off!

Sure... something like a 2007 XLR-V will no doubt be a classic, & a valued collectible but it will never surpass something like a 1931 Cadillac V16 or even a 1959 Cadillac ANYTHING. IN the end many of todays cars will end up as parts cars not only because of stuff like rust & high milage but also the unsurmountable amount of electronics gremlins, diagnostic issues & over-coplication in todays' wiring harnesses. Good luck fixing a 2007 Lexus SC's engine control module in 2057.

Screw a hammer and to hell with a crow bar... oversized bolt cutters are the way to go, They weigh 18 lbs... they can hammer & "crow" as well as smash glass very efficiently.

I miss my Roadmaster Estate... Yes, exactly... OR I'll take a nice STURDY (BOF) SUV like a TrailBlazer or Tahoe. Also, if I was overly concerned with interior volume, fuel economy & I did not want to be politically incorrect by driving a big 4x4 Suburban or what not but I still had 2008 equinox type money I'd buy one of these and have 2nd & 3rd row installed! Now that's a good compromise between style, price, passanger capacity & massive-cargo GVWR!

My friend Mike ordered up a 1998 ragtop Vette from the factory with a white interior and white top... the exterior was Nassau Blue, pretty much the same shade of medium blue metallic, that car was one of the most beautiful post 1963 Corvettes I have ever seen.

It's a love it or hate it shade... I personally liek it and it has a LOT of depth actually! This color would look awsome on a '77 Firebird or a street rod... IMO.

Toyota seems to sell a lot of TURDs these days! Thanks dude, I needed a good laugh! :rotflmao:

Smart-ass. See I've got 1959 Buick Electra 225 Riviera 4-door HARDTOP (with 401/4bbl nailhead) for $24,000 taste buuuut......I'm on more of a 1959 Buick LeSabre 2 door sedan 364/2bbl BUDGET. (ACV: ~$7,000) When you search for a classic car for a few years & come up short money wise on even marginall restorable cars that have not run in several years and are in very serious disrepair you start to get less picky, when a gorgeous car comes along that runs, drives, stops, turns, heats in the winter and its wipers clean the windshield in a rainstorm while the frame & body are in decent-to-excellent condition you do not pass it up over a technicality. now if this was 1987 instead of 2007 I'd be driving a 2-door Invicta on the weekends and I'd have a E-225 Electra Riviera for a daily driver. But there's a chance I may get closer to my dream car soon... a gentleman who happens to own a 1959 Buick LeSabre 4-door FLATTOP hardtop just might be trading me straight up for my POST sedan bubbletop. It's not a done deal just yet but there's a very strong possibility that my LeSabre will be living out it's retirement in the mid-west while I get a very nice, all original Colorado hardtop. Make sense?

Takes deep breath.... (it's been an eventful week) - 1969 Pontiac GTO judge, (carousel red) - 1939 Chevrolet Wrecker, black with period correct wrecker body - 1963 Mercury 2-door hardtop, green (Comet?) - 1962-ish Chevrolet P/U w/ COOLEST patina ever! -------- (farm truck?, still in use) it was green with a white door/hood & red fender - 1978 Cadillac Sedan Deville (tripple silver) - 1968 Oldsmobile 442, medium blue - 1982 Corvette, black/gray interior... running like a champ on the original cross-fire setup - 1970/1/2 Corvette Stingray t-top, blue - 1964 Cadillac Coupe deVille, EXACT colors of the '71 Murder car - 1964? Dodge Polara 2-door hardtop - 1966 Ford Mustang fastback - 1991/2 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham MINT, tripple white... (not the same one from before) - 1984? Honda Accord sedan... some granola-bar driving it who loked like a Hobo, --------- it's been about 5 years since I saw a 1st gen. Accord OUTSIDE of a junmkyard - 1953 Buick Skylark, just a rolling chassis & rotted out shell awaiting restoration behind XP's dad's shop - 2007 Subaru Forester LIMO - about a 10 foot stretch, local Subbi-dealer curtesy shuttle - 1969 Chevrolet Camaro hardtop, Macco-quality black paint - 2006/7 Corvette Z06, jet black, tearing up Rt.3 like it was a damn airstrip - 1985-ish Dodge Diplomat, no more than 3 milllion miles! - 1968 Buick Wildcat 2-door hardtop red with a white roof (didn;t see the interior) - another stupid ugly 1970s MG - 2006/7 Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS, raven black, spick-n-span, I guess that's a semi-spot - 2002-6 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ blk/blk with a NICE set of 20" rims. (even more of a pseudo-spot)

If I had radials I'd be in a much better shape in terms of both stopping distance & handeling... it's on the list. The '76 LeSabre has giant 747 landing gear size/style radial tires on it, as Fly said, the car will breakl your neck if you slam on the brakes... & I too experience a bit more respect from most drivers when they see my tanks on the highway, the intimidation factor works to my benefit.

Damn.... we don't have one yet. We do have not one but TWO Cobalt Sport Coupes, one with the 5-speed (2.4HO)

Mitsubuishi is somewhere between Lada & Kia styling wise these days.

The rims are fine, clean & sporty, nothing wrong with subtlety. Besides, who the hell bases their purchae on rims? Seriously. Buy the car and sell the rims on eBay 0.0002 seconds after have tire warehouse or some local speed shop throw on a killer set of 17/18/19" rims that you DO like. Simple, is it not? Agreed. GM4life: I concur 100%. RWD, awsome proportions, great, C L E A N styling & a pushrod V8! What's NOT to like?

Today some queefbag in a black Jeep Liberty thought that 1959 Buicks have 12" vented & crossdrilled disk brakes on all 4 corners since she assumed I could go from 45-0mph in 25 feet.

Gezus that's both hillarious and tasteless.... Speaking of "The Beatles" they had some phunky R.R. customzzzz...

Or like Opel/Vauxhall/Saturn or Opel/Daewoo...

That's a silly lookig Skoda delivery but it's pretty status quo compared to most French cars.

Last time I checked, MAF sensors and emissions didn't exist in 1969, or 1959 or 1949....

Photo??? Damn I'd love to see a B-59 other than my own on the road! Damn, threads like this make me wish I lived in California!!!

Yup.... very 1961 Chevrolet in styling. Don't get me wrong though I love the '51-up styling too. The mid-1950s ones are beutiful too!

I'm working on my own issues with my father right now. My dad specifically said in the past that I should have stayed with Julie back in the day, that was when he was not too happy with Marcia, now that me and Marcia are all done and I'm with Julie he's got issues with me being with Julie because the timing is past that.... You just can't win sometimes.

WTF? Don;t you just LOVE modern cars and their reliable simplicity! Sorry I can't help, I've never even heard of this silliness.

If it even happens it will be more than 3 years before you see a production car, christ it's be a 100% ground up design and even the semi-ready to go Zeta Camaro that we saw as a concept in 2006 is not going to hit the streets for another two years. I'm all for a mid-engined Corvette (and a chassis-mate CIEN) so long as they are not REPLACING the standard FE/RWD Corvette. Just make BOTH and keep everyone happy.
