Went to see Transformers last night with Julie & a few friends. I was very happy with the movie. Let's just say that it's quite possibly THE best movie of all time. It makes Casablanca seem like a B- rated porno. By contrast Gone With The Wind would be a made for TV Lifetime movie & Citizen Kane would be Speed 2. All joking aside here's 10 reasons why the movie kicked A$$! 10. Even a 1974 Camaro rocks given some TLC & a little faith 9. Mustang = BAD, Camaro = GOOD 8. If Transformers DID exist they sure as hell WOULD only disguise themselves as RWD cars... 7. As cool as it was the catroon can't hold the candle to todays CGI 6. The Energon Cube makes a Rubick's Cube look like a chewed up nerf ball 5. Optimus Prime looks awsome as a hybrid of a Kenworth W900 & Peterbilt 379 4. See number 9. 3. I bet there really is something sinister behind the Hoover Damn 2. Best product placement for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Cadillac, HUMMER & Saturn ever. 1. Camaro IS my other Jesus and as such does save the world So there you have it.

Well agree to disagree... the damn nose looks like a fanny-pack!

It's a lot different fron the driver's seat...

The GM has more than their fair share of examples... Ford is no exception:

Dude.... I blew my brains out on the STS. Sold to Lowell Used Auto for $150. Now I'm down to "only" three cars... I have a Roadmaster Estate w/ 36% of a semi-functioning transmission, a 5-speed $hitbox that needs some work & is out of the way and my B-59 which is also slightly handicapped... although I drove it 400 miles in the last 8 days. The way things are the Road"monster" will be on the chopping block loooong before the Datsun. The Datsun is not in anyones way since it's in a car port that is 0.2 inches wider than the car... it's the only car that will even fit there. If I do sell it I kind of need to get instant cash for it. I'm hurting for money right now bad. I need to get my own place like YESTERDAY. I need about $4000 like by the 15th of July. Let's not go there. Anyway the new job is going very well, I sold two cars in my first three days there so it's looking good.

Good job. Another sale for Oldsmobile 2.0

WRONG. It is NOT an exact copy. Not even close. Some of your people are blind. Is it as original as the Camaro concept... no. But it IS not a carbon copy.

I'll be happy when gas prices are $0.88 for regular and Sunoco 93 is $1.03

Gorgeous car!!! Agreed... the frenched headlights are stupid too.

I think this is a perfect example of "truth is stranger than fiction"

Happy Anniversary of the day of your birth.

God I hope so! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

The fairly cushy accounting job was not my cup of tea. I've been out of there since Feb. of this year. And yes, to answer your question there WAS no logical reason why I could not work at a dealership, but still I tried to play along & compromise. I did way too much of that in the past few years. All for nothing. Anyway I saw Sofia for a few minutes this morning, just before Marcia drove her to school. Funny how Marcia makes more effort to win a pissing contest with me than she ever did to save our relationship. But I digress, the point is that I got a big hug & kiss from my daughter & that was worth a million. I junked the STS today... $150 for a 1997 Cadillac shell, with a running/driving NorthStar riding on 4 compact spares, I think the junkyard will tripple their money just on the motor & trans. Anyway the B-59 is a functioning car again. I am running just H20 in the cooling system and it leaks about a gallon every 15-20 miles but it DOES drive. I had it up to about 100mph on Rt.3 today. Now that's stress releif.

So Marcia has turned up the "douchebag factor" to the MAX. She is using our daughter Sofia like a pawn in some twisted, deranged game... I was a fool to think that she was going to think that she was going to stay civil. Things have turned ugly beyond my wildest imagination. This whole divorce thing has made me realize that she is just plain cruel & selfish. On a positive note, today was a good day overal. As of 10am today I am officially back in the car business for the first time since 2003. One of my many compromises that I made for Marcia was to not work at a car dealership durring the past four years. Another stupid useless sacrafice that never got me anywhere in the end. I am now a sales associate at a local Chevy & Cadillac dealer. One door closes.... and another one opens, right? And on a side note Julie and I could NOT be happier.

Best, funniest & most absurd thread ever.

Just like the "new" Beetle it's a lame, pale imitation of an old school econobox.

Ferraris are overprices piles of junk. Esp. modern ones.

Yes and yes. Too bad many a Cadillac & Buick have been totalled that way in the desert.

Let's see some more photos... of the WHOLE car.

Get over yourself. I have enough drama w/ my ex-G/F I don't need yours! I think the G6 is a decent looking car overall... as a matter of fact the roofline on the sedan esp. is downright swoopy. The Fusion has nothing but a wannabe-Jetta styling. For the record the Fusioon is still at least domestic unlike your "Camry With Rear Door Delete" so you've moved up I guess.... I think the Fusion tripplets are the 21st century version of the Granada, Monarch & Versailles. Now I will agree that they're still better looking than the average Hyundai or Kia.

That Fleetwood Brougham Coupe has made the rounds. It first appeared in the Hot Rod magazines. I'd love to race a built up 1959 Buick E225 in SCCA events... perhaps powered by a built up 401. Can you imagine seeing all that metal & chrome being throw around at over 1.0 Gs...? It would be a great thing to do with a basket case B-59 with a rotted frame.
