Here's two more photos of the Bronze Bonanza Boat. Yeah... its a long beast. Funny you say that about the length M-84... More than once since I bought it I slammed my knee on the rear bumper while walking around the car because I totally misjudged the ass end in the dark.

Yup. Fly's check is in the mail.... I took the LeSabre off CraigsList less than 24hrs. after it was posted. I guess the sucker will live out it's retirement in Florida like so many Seniors with white shoes & white suspenders.

It's a gorgeous car, well done & executed. The winged emblem just does not sit right w/ me though....

Dude, the NSX is nothing but a $h!ty Honda. As far as other frankenstein crap... let me think, in the past week: Canvas Carrige Top on a Kia Amanti, Lexus LS430 & a CTS-V. My crazy buddy Chris O'Shea (for those of you who remember SpeedingPenguin) bought a beat up, rotted to death 1985 Cutlass Supr. two door with a built SBC 350, he ripped out the 229 out of his 1981 Malibu and dropped in the motor & trans out of the Oldsmobile. The Olds has SS, "powered by Chevy" and Impala SS badges all over the place.

There is probably NOT a twin-port grille behind the mesh, they want to throw people off after all. I say it might be a Camry or perhaps even some Kia or whatever.

I love my notebook, even though the darn left hinge is broken clean off.

G/F is 1983... as was that super-swank flat-black Firebird we used to cruise around in when we were together back in 2003. 350 crate motor from GM.

The Acclaim, Spirit & most of the 1980s Mopar's are nothing but poster children for 1980s FWD cars that went through a Botched Abortion after being half- baked in the design & engineering process.

Just saw one on Rt.495 like 3 hours ago. Gross.

Too much money, but damn is it tempting. Those are the coolest rims I have EVER seen in my life! God damn that's an idea!!!

April Fools was two months ago...

Cool. Am I going senile or does that 1933 Pontiac have a Dodge Bros. emblem on the radiator shell???

There's usually no gray area in these situations. Either she's into you or she's not, BUT the hard part is finding out if that is the case. Girls can be so very criptic.

Happy Birthday Dude! Take your gorgeous '69 Poncho out for a spin.

Lifetime.... oh dear. If I count all my demolition derby cars I just might be at over a hundred.

Don't sell the Cobalt. Figure out a way to make more $$$.

Dear Lord! Let... sleeping dogs... lye

Balthazar: As far as registration... I'd do a temp. tag deal. It's complicated but I can/could get a car 100% LEGAL for cheap money. That being said of course it is an even bigger gamble. Call it luck, call it smart purchase sense but I've gotten cocky about my car buying. I usually do very well in terms of reliability & bang/buck. We'll see. If I can get a H20 pump that is 100% rebuilt in the next three/four day then the B-59 is going to Tulsa.

YJ: Yeah.... will do. this was the best deal I've ever had a crack at in terms of a B-body with LT-1 power. Af far as your idea of oaint and rims, in keeping with the $412 purchase price & the fact that I am broke as a joke right now Flat black rattle cans are the way to go. Red steelies w/ white walls would complete the RAT ROD look.

Next I gotta get steel-roof '96 sedan.

Cool. Gen. X but I'm a baby-boomer at heart.

My '59 Buick today burned off most of a tank of gas. At 6:00am I dopped off the two couples at Logan foir their flight to Mexico. At 12:00 I picked up Sofia at the fromer in-laws in Harvard, MA & then at 1:00 we arrived at a Birthday party in Lowell. Then a few hours later at 5:00 I dropped off Sofia in Haverhill with my parents & hit Rt.495 for the 4th time today. All of a sudden I see pink slime... (dexcool) pouring out of the hood seams and my temp. gauge is at a solid "pull the f**k over and shut her off" So apparently that used, rebuilt water pump I just installed was crap. This is partially my fault for taking the gamble with it, but hey, better it happen in Massachusetts than in Texas or North Carolina. So I need to throw in ANOTHER H20 pump in about a week... and I still have the crappy bias-plys on the B-59. I might need a backup plan for Oklahoma. Here's my three best ideas: 1. Buy a beat-to-hell ancient diesel $hitbox, drive it to Tulsa getting 30+ mpg 2. Throw a fuel pump in the "non-sunroof" Datsun and take that 3. Get H20 pump monday, do a shakedown cruise and take B-59 anyway. ....time will tell.

I think everyone here knows I have as much willpower from buying a car I desire and CAN afford as a lioness in Africa has in terms of stopping itself from devouring a Gazzele when it has not eaten in two weeks. I mean I'm pretty much broke and yet I drag home a B-body wagon with 65% of a transmission and try ti justify this as responsible behavior.

Most Hybrids are a waste of time.
