Those are kind of a T.W.C.C. running joke. I bought them from AutoZone for $7 or something ridiculous like that, they were originally $40 before they collected dust in the discount bin for a month. They are LED & light up in all kinds of crazy patterns, They were on my free '79 Chevy for a while, then on my 1959 Buick for a few weeks as a joke and now I slapped them on the Seafoam Sled. XP715 officially will go on record saying he wanted 1971 Cadillac hubcaps (wheelcovers) for the '77 Banana Boat and so he went about getting a set in the most elaborate way possible. When I met up with him & his G/F at his house they had just gotten back with the car and he was in the middle of grabbing the hubcaps off the 1971 & throwing them in the trunk of the 1977.

Bring back Imperial? YES! Produce the 2006 Concept? NO!!!! These are Imperials:

"....old model to be renamed Malibu Classic..." DeJavu

CMG: BlackViper has an epic Ego...

SLUDGE!!!!!!!!

Hybrid = clusterfu**k maintenace/ownership costs Diesel = longevity and REAL world MPG improvement

Got your attention? Gather around the campfire kids I've got a tale for you. This is a perfect truth is stranger than fiction scenario. Unfortunately it has a very tragic & sad ending... First off some of you may remember "Mr.Death". About a year ago I owned, for a short time a rotted, tired & neglected 1970 Cadillac Coupe deVille seafoam green with a tan interior & black top. There's a long story about why that car was called "Mr.Death", but this is not the time or the place for that. <----- "Mr.Death" Well recently I've been talking quite a bit about another Cadillac beater... I've had a two Fleetwood Broughams & several other Cadillacs but nothing older than 1977, after all I never got to drive & enjoy Mr.Death so I can't count that as a car so much as a parts car, which is exactly what that car is now. So recently I thought to myself I should really keep an eye out in the near future for a 1971/2/3 Sedan deVille. That was my current kick as far as the craiglist searches went, a hardtop 4-dr so I could get my daughter in & out easily but still enoy the pillerless ambiance. Well, through sad & tragic circumstances, thanks once again to XP715 saving ANOTHER classic from a junkyard I am now driving a 1971 Cadillac Sedan deVille. I say tragic because the previous owner was a 25 year old guy who was one of the victims of a recent tripple homicide that shook up the police & court systems here in New England. William Jones, 25 years old was shot to death and his beloved 1971 Cadillac was about to end up in a junkyard until XP stepped in and saved it from certain demise. So there you have it, ANOTHER car bought from a tragicaly decesed owner. Here's the story: A few links to other articles: http://www.wmtw.com/news/13655340/detail.h...rt&psp=news http://www.wmur.com/news/13633695/detail.html http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?he...12-f7caf9380b79 http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/art...in_nh_killings/ I can not begin to say how disgusted I am with this piece of $hit lowlife turned armed robber. But while no one can bring back the three innocent people he killed I have benefited by getting a cheap beater. Here is the car I've been driving for the past three days, Mr. Death II. Although I think this 4dr hardtop is a girl.

THe HHR is way cooler than any FWD/economical Toyota... bias aside. Congrats. Good Choice.

Agreed.... plus let's face it, you ever see a Rampage or Scamp that does not look like it went through three tours of duty in IRAQ? They're always beat to &#036;h&#33;.

Did I mention I have four cars again?... it's a long story but I'll try to post some photos tonight. I'm pretty sure most of you will love the newest arrival's proportions.

The first American I ever got to ride in was my Dad's 1985 Dodge Diplomat ("BLUE CAB Co.") Taxi cab in 1987 when I was 8 years old. Shortly after I got to drive it in typical fashion (on his lap) when I was 8 or maybe 9 years old. They're not the best cars of the 1980s but I'd take one over most FWD cars, including some Chevy Classic. But that's just me. Nothing wrong with RWD & a 318...

Someday.... after I'm bored of my seven or eight V16 Cadillacs I'll buy a Duesenberg. It's on the agenda.

If I had thew money for a Mac I'd never use a PC again, ever.

Everything in Fly's original post with the possible exception of the 1st gen. A8 has a gross front overhang. The Citroen, Passat & Enzo all great (horrible) examples.

This thread is magnifying glass approved,

YOU: How's that 3rd headgasket working out on your F350 powerstroke w/ 20,000 miles? THEM: I've experienced exactly ZERO camshaft failures in my 7 Ford trucks... unlike my neighbor's 2007 Tundra

DodgeFan: Not sure if I told you yet... SpeedingPenguin bought a MINT turbocharged 1988 Dodge Daytona Shelby with a 5-speed. I got to take it for a spin around the parking lot, it scoots, still I am giving him a good friendly tease over his switch to FWD... damn that front overhang is like 25% of the car's overall length. It's ridiculous. Still his Daytona is MINT.

Don;t get me wrong DF79, I love AC/DC.... but they do not branch out much beyond that stereotypical Dirty Deeds/TNT/Big Gun sound.

1976

Dude... AAA has nothing on American Traveler Club. They towed my demolition derby car forkrisssake!

That &#036;h&#33;'s RUGGED, look at that SOLID front axle.

Is it not silly to listen to an iPod if you go Kayak-ing...? I mean the sounds of nature is a part of the draw for me to go out and DO outdoor activities. I'd probably never go down river on a Kayak but if I did go it would be on the Mohawk Trail in Western Mass & I certainly would rather listen to the sounds of nature. Then again I drove my '68 Camaro with no radio at all the whole 4 years I had it, and my B-59 has never had a functioning radio... I'm a minimalist in some ways.

I'd pay a fair price for it, but a fair price would include $3000 off for the disgusting, disgraceful paintjob to be redone in a respectfull shade, even the famous Lido Lavender would be a much better, more respectfull color. This is like painting up a Duesenberg like the A-Team GMC.

Dude, don't get some POS fwd-er... buy the first S-10 or Crown Vic or Dodge Diplomat you see for $700 in great condition, they're out there!

Got some G35 coupe in it's lines... I like it.
