COMPACT CARS
Back to 2007 MY cars... I'm with Camino on this one. I think that a Scion anything, Civic or Corolla along with most compact cars are about as much "car" as the a tupperware container is a sailboat.

April Fool's CAR SPOTTING
Someone who parks in front pf the Massachusetts State House has a "1" vanity plate on his/her Nissan Altima. I think it might be Ted "Lake Chapatiqua" Kennedy.

The AH-HA Challenge
Solstice GXP, cause it's not oly Domestic but also GM and it kicks arse. Zetas. Mainstream RWD is a beautiful thing. Redline & Greenline versions. Agressive marketing to the Camry & Accord crowd. Play dirty if you have to. RWD. No doubt.

Bought a 77 Cutlass Supreme on Ebay
Wow... awsome roadtrip. I love this kind of thread. f@#k arguing about cars and nit-picking some new 2007 models that I do not care about. This is what the car hobby is all about. Fill up an old GM boat that breaths through a quadrajet, hit the road & be liberal with a digital camera. I can not wait to take my Buick to Tulsa, OK. That will be the highlight of my decade. If I break down it'll be interesting to see what happens and if I drive the 3500 or so miles without incident then I'll be ecstatic.

You ready for a V8-powered, RWD coupe from Hyundai?
Cool. I'll probably never buy one but if I have to stare at these things at least it looks better than most Toyotas/Hondas & it is RWD. Maybe if I see one in the want ad for $300 fifteen years from now I'll get it for a winter beater so my 1961 Cadillac & 1959 Buick don;t see the salt but I can still go drifting durring blizzards.

COMPACT CARS
Excellent point. I assumed the cars had to be 2007 MY. If that was NOT the case my top five would actually be close to that. Perhaps like: - 1969 Chevrolet Camaro COPO ZL1, 4-speed - 1968 Pontiac Firebird OHC I-6, 4-speed - 1961 Oldsmobile Cutlass Wagon, 3-speed (or a 1962 Buick Special) - 1969 Chevrolet Corvair Yenko Stinger 4-speed - 1964 Plymoouth Barracuda 4-speed

April Fool's CAR SPOTTING
Jesus you guys are funny with some of your lists. I'd only consider some Mariner or Sebring a "spot" if it was shinny side up, on fire or post-explosion. That's the one. She's a sexy bitch! I'd love to own this car. The only modification I'd ever do would be a 4-spd. I even love the white walls out, they work well with the white interior imho.

3 trucks featured in 3 Horror movies
Yes x 3.

I can only imagine....
Cool thread. In 5 years I hope me & Marcia have one more baby, buy a house & I hope to be in business for myself... doing something automotive related. In 10 years I hope to own at least TWO 1959 Buicks, one of them a flattop & the otehr one a bubbletop. In 40 years, by the time I retire I hope to own at least one V16 Cadillac. That's my dream car now. The only car that's cooler than a Duesenberg to me.

3 trucks featured in 3 Horror movies
1. In Stephen King's Pet Sematary (or however it's mis-spelled) the wife gets a ride off a trucker in an 18-wheeler, what number is painted under the door of the truck as she steps out in front of the house? (just after her "Aries K" goes into a ditch) What make is the truck? 2. In Jeepers Creepers, what is the approx M.Y. & make of the truck driven by the antagonist, & what M.Y./make car does the protagonist drive? What makes the car a somewhat "rare" model? 3. In the original "Friday the 13th" what old school COE is featured when the new sexy councelor is trying to get to Camp Crystal Lake? This is NOT a part of Question #59 of T.W.T.T. which IS coming soon. Consider it a warm-up.

SCCA Autocross!
Always wanted to do it... never pulled the trigger. I think the Datsun would be the logical choice but even more fun would be to do it in a '73 Cadillac Deville powred by a 500.

Too bad you got rid of that deVille, if only for sentimental reasons.

The GM Heritage Center
1,000,000th 1977 Oldsmobile. That's exactly 1,000,000 more than they made in 2006.

Interesting Chevy design proposal on the wall
A million concepts, clay models and sketches result in one or two designs. I'd love to say you can predict the future by looking at these deigns but the reality is that you're just looking at water over the damn as of 2006.
